    • No I get what you're saying and that is fair enough if that's the way it is, but the issue is that the Judge has agreed that I part exchanged my car against a new car but then failed to acknowledge that it was a deposit of some form. To trade my car in and get a discount of a new car constitutes as a deposit by legislation. The Judge has conflicted himself and this is where he is misinterpreting the law.  I also shouldn't have had a scrappage discount and a dealership discount together, it says so in their terms and conditions, which in itself makes the agreement improperly executed at the very least.  This may all make more sense when I upload the trial bundle, it's over 160 pages though so taking a while to redact my information 
    • the scrappage scheme is nothing to do with the agreement ...sorry. it's an enticement to purchase a replacement vehicle. just the same as shop signs that say 50% off or whatever.  its a done and dusted deal done before you enter into the agreement for the remaining £sum. 
    • don't get too hung up on the real meaning of 'fake' in terms of the documents a claimant might produce relating to a potential court claim. by fake we typically mean, they are not obviously the 'real McCoy' ,100% associated with whatever credit they are trying to pin on punters. they are often of the right 'version' that an OC would have used for that particular take out date, but with details inserted in a diff font where they should be for say your name address DOB etc. All DCA's typically  have filing cabinets covering each year for most creditor, whip 'em out, scan and copy n paste your details onto them, even easier now with online sign ups. no hard copies ever sent cause 90% of mugs have lost them..... one of our most powerful tools is the fact any docs they produce, unless they state they are 'a reconstruction'  MUST come from the original creditor noty some hidden pile the claimants have. Link are absolute masters at this so dont stick to lowell threads. dx    
    • Driving home last night I contacted wing mirrors with a car coming the opposite way. The wing mirror folded in and the glass popped out. Very minor damage.  I stopped at the next layby (A road) to repair the mirror. A passerby stopped and said they saw the other car stopped behind me in another layby - they went back and passed over details so we could get in touch.  The conversation started cordially, but quickly got heated when I said I was well on my side and they drifted over (which is what happened).  I wasn't going to bother filing a claim as there isn't enough damage to justify it. I've said to the other party lets just call it quits as there are no witnesses and we both think we are innocent.   they said they are contacting the police and insurance and that they have witnesses. But a quick facebook search found a post by the other person saying they were in a crash, and were 'spun' off the road. Picture of a broken wing mirror and a slight scuff on the front and rear wheel arch. they are asking for witnesses. I have screenshots of the post, and sent them another message saying I can see you don't have witnesses as you are appealing for them. I'd really not drag this out. Lets call it quits and move on. this was followed by a couple of messages that didn't really make much sense. e.g. 'do the right thing'. What should I do now?  Contact police?  Contact my insurance? - Can I tell them about this incident but say I dont want to claim? Will that affect my premium?

    • 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.

Is it lawful for an employment agency to make an employee wait 2 months before they receive any pay?

 

I began working for an agency on 28/05/2012. I was expecting to be paid at the end of June for the days I worked in May. However, payment did not arrive and by the end of the first week of July I was becoming concerned. Payments were starting to fail to be paid as there were insufficient funds in my bank. On the 09/07/2012 I managed to contact HR of the agency who told me they would not pay me until 27/07/2012.

 

My question is, does this contravene any employment legislation?

 

 

Thanks for your advice.

Hi Unpaid,

 

What does your contract with the agency say ref pay ???? monthly in arrears ? weekly ?

 

It does sound unfair and prob unfair deduction - can you look at the agency contract and get back....

They say 1 month in arrears.

 

They blame a problem with the application for my CRB for the delay in activating my contract and resulting delay in my pay. I work in Further Education. However, I do not feel liable for the problem with the delay in processing my CRB as they asked me to pilot a trial online application. I encountered glitches with the online application, informed IT help who did not respond to my email. I did call them to alert them too and I awaited further instruction from the IT staff - it didn't come. Eventually I sorted the problem myself through trial and error. Technically they should not have started me to work without the CRB clearance, I therefore feel their delaying my pay is unjust on this basis alone. Moreover, I had done some work for the same agency a few months earlier, as it was only a few days emergency cover they did not even bother with a CRB., neither did it interfere with my getting paid.

Some employers if you start within a week or 2 of their normal pay run pay at the end of the following month so you would get say 6 or 7 weeks pay instead of 4 or 5, this is quite common in my experience.

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and let me know, thank you.

It will be 9 weeks before they pay me. It is costing me money in late payment fees because of their non payment - yet I cannot bill them for the same. I feel unhappy because it is costing me money to get to work as well. Insult to injury, they are paying an hourly rate agreed with the unions in 2008, not the rate agreed in 2011.

If the reason you are receiving charges etc is because they have not upheld their end of the contract.

 

The contract of employment goes 2 ways. You do the work to a satisfactory standard and they pay you. You have done the first, they have broken their end - no matter what the "reason" it is unacceptable.

 

I would raise a grievance and expect them to pay all of your charges and interest.

My bank have also informed me that they are going to close my account because I am a bad customer. I have to waist my time going to plead with them because the agency paid me late.

Same thing happened to me. BTW the agency is not based in N London is it? I demanded my money as soon as I found out. They had taken money for a CRB check and not sent off for one. I contacted CRB company and checked. In the end I threatened to tell the employer. In the end the agency caved in but I left and rejoined another agency. I called the agency daily and eventually got my money. Later found out they had done this before and had to wind the company down (other employees lost out).

If the bank think you are a bad customer because you are overdrawn, have bounced payments etc, and your account does not allow overdrafts, then absolutely they can close your account. lbruk what makes you think otherwise?

Never assume anyone on the internet is who they say they are. Only rely on advice from insured professionals you have paid for!

Under the banking code they cannot just close your account, if they do then they are being unfiar especially if they have not give a reason or not accepting a valid reason. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?827-Examples-of-unfair-treament

having bills and no funds is usually a breach of the terms of the account, and is a valid reason for closure.

 

your link does not contain an argument which counters this
