    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

I actually have to laugh at the position of governments in the U.K. about the royal family bringing in a huge amount of money from tourism....I actually think that tourists do not on the whole come to see the royal family...they come to see the buildings, monuments, etc...there are probably, I would hazard a guess about 0 tourists who actually get to 'see' the royal family on their U.K. holiday...they may gaze through the gates of buck house, visit the tower...and all the other attractions...which they would still do whether we keep this overinflated lot or not.....'tugs forelock' get rid of em....

Well.......... as a self confessed republican I can say one hundred percent, unequivocally, beyond all shadow of a doubt, without question, no!

I think they do a fantastic job of lining their pockets, they have successfully over the years convinced Joe public that they are an indispensable asset, and worthy of our best efforts to keep them 'in the manner to which they have been accustomed'. GB Ltd, could get along nicely without them and save a huge amount of cash in the process.

 

 

 

Given the same start in life as Windsor &Co, I'm sure many of the smoking, drinking, JCP props, would have 'made good'.

Nah, not getting annoyed I enjoy a bit of cut and thrust, I got plenty of practice over on the now defunct it seems Indus delta forum, it looks like they gave up under the overwhelming volume of 'negative' post from the likes of me :madgrin:

 

Edit,

lo and behold I have just found out that Indus delta is accepting comments again yipeeeee!

/Antone steps out of the debate and dons moderater hat

 

This has been an interesting debate, and I've enjoyed participating, so I'd hate to have to shut it down. That said:

 

Where we do allow debates to take place on this forum, we absolutely insist that members treat each other with civility. Also, we do not allow members to insult or abuse benefit claimants or DWP staff. There are some posts in the thread that tread very close to the line on both of these issues.

 

These rules are in place to protect the forum, and to allow it to perform its primary function, which is the provision of non-judgemental benefit advice to people with problems. What we don't want is for a new person to arrive, only to be greeted by the sight of one bunch of regulars throwing buns at another bunch of regulars, and a third bunch of regulars calling benefit claimants "poopy heads".

 

With this in mind, I'll return you to your regularly scheduled debate.

Thanks, I too have enjoyed this thread. I am aware that I have been lambasted over some of my comments, but that is what a forum is for - to air different opinions and suggestions.

It's fine to air opinions and discuss them politely. It's not fine to refer to hoodies hanging out at the JCP with cans of lager. I accept that people may genuinely hold these sorts of opinions, and it's a free country (sort of) and all that, but we only allow debate that doesn't interfere with our primary goals.

 

I intentionally didn't single anyone out in my previous post - let's all be courteous.

4) Further evidence from across the pond is that the few hardcore boozers and druggies affected will simply sell their EBT credit for 75 or so pence on the pound, and then use the cash to buy booze.

Do you know if these new vouchers will be personal or transferable? In which case I'd be very glad to make some money by buying them for 75 to 100.

This is still theoretical in the UK, so I can't give you a definitive answer. In the US, EBT cards (food stamps) are not transferrable as such. You use the card at the checkout, just like it was a debit card. I'll leave it to the reader to figure out how a [problem] might operate, but operate they do. Easily and frequently.

 

Edit to add: Ouch! Caught out by the languange filters twice in one day. I am a bad, bad moderator. To determine what I meant, replace [problem] with "racket".

Just an aside, I'm thinking a voucher system would be a real boost for the home brew industry. A bit of fruit, a bit of sugar, a bit of fermentation ... :D

 

[amianne: I haven't forgotten the comments re ESA50, just where we were posting! Checked my form for 2009 and you're right there, it doesn't ask for further medical evidence. But neither does it eschew it. I'm yet to wander through my DWP letters file ...]
