    • Thanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe concenquences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points?
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • Please go back and read my message posted at 10:27 this morning @jk2054. I didn't say that I wasn't going to provide documents, only that I will upload them to an online repo that I am in control of, and that I would share links to these. You shall still be able to read and download them no different from if they were hosted here. And, the issue I have is not so much with hosting, but using an online pdf editor to create a multi-page pdf, again I have discussed this that same message.

    • 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.

Just had a look at my tenency agreement. There's a nice bit that says if theirs any rent arrears they won't do repairs!!!

 

If the things need repairing are causing a health and safety issue or making the building unfit for habitation, then they have no choice but to repair. They cant get out of that.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Well, this is my landlords idea of "fixing" the holes in the walls:

Two days later and the holes are reappearing.

 

They had someone on the roof the other day, he was there for 7 min, another patch up job.

 

Environmental health are ignoring me still.

Hi

 

with your electricity constantly cutting out have you fought of having a chat with your local fire station and asking then to come out to do a fire inspection even if its for your property and mention the electrical issue.

Tbh the electricity has been fine since they changed the plug, for now.

 

I've just registered with council housing, hopefully this will all go In my favour.

 

Does anyone know if I can put in a copy of the environmental health report to get me moved quicker?

 

Cheers

What Env Health report? I thought they were ignoring you.

 

They initially came out and inspected the property. A report was sent to myself and the landlord detailing the issues and giving x amount of time to rectify. This wasn't done and eh said " I have a dialogue with your landlord". Since then eh have ignored every email I've sent him.

Can I refuse access to my landlords workmen until I see there credentials?

 

I'm fairly certain they are not qualified, one in particular. He's been on the phone again and surprise surprise my shower is leaking for the 18th time.

not impressed:

 

I can advise that I revisited the property and common parts with a representative from x April 2013. All works have been completed to my satisfaction and the job has been closed. Unfortunately I am unable to assist any further in this matter. I trust this information is of assistance.

Thank you for your email. I can advise that I have now had the opportunity to look at the photos you forwarded. Whilst I appreciate you dissatisfaction with the repair I must advise that from a public health perspective this is a cosmetic matter which I am unable to move forward.

 

 

 

I would advise that you bring this to the attention of x and ask them if they can take a further look at the situation. I trust this information is of assistance.

You think a wall with holes in because of damp is cosmetic???

 

Sent from my iPhone

 

I was not aware of any on going issue with damp affecting your flat as all works to address this matter have been completed. Do you know whether the problem is external or coming from another flat? also can you confirm whether you have raised the issue with your landlord? if so what was there response.

perhaps if you had checked internal works not just communal areas you would be aware problms have not been fixed. I am unable to confirm were the damp is coming from, I am not a damp expert. You know ful well multiple emails and verbal requests have been made to the landlord to fix issues, hence why you were involved.

 

I do believe page 3 of your own report states the following:

 

  1. Damp and mould growth

  1. extensive penetrating dampness to the second floor common areas AND LOUNGE AND KITCHEN WALLS OF FLAT 5. IN PARTS THE WALL PLASTER IS PERISHED AND ADDLED. The source of water ingress requires investigation. Upon establishing the source of ingress; CARRY OUT ALL WORKS NECESSARY TO STOP THE WATER INGRESS AND MAKE GOOD ANY INTERNAL DAMAGE ACCORDINGLY. IN PARTS THE WALL PLASTER IS PERISHED AND ADDLED....

FUMING!! My bathroom light went kaboom so I reported it. I was sat in my living room with music on doing uni stuff, went to the toilet, low and behold there's foot prints in the bathroom and front door was open!!! The work men had entered without permission or even knocking on the door to come in!!! They just let themselves in!!!

 

Then later they came back as I was in my way out and knocked he says "what's wrong with this light then" I said listen you know full well etc etc I told him I had to go out to work and would he lock the door with the key he obviously had "yeah no problem". I told the landlord I had to honour and make sure they lock the front door. Come home from work, guess what?! Not only was it not locked, it was wide open!!!! They've also been into my living room, the lights were left on, there was no reason whatsoever for them to go into the living room!!!!
