    • 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.

    • 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.

This is the most difficult thread to follow. Earlier Camper said the council were paying £50 per month to his rent as well as gas and elect. Now he says that he is getting nothing.

Can JSA. be stopped with no hardship payments?

If there has been mo court eviction you should really stay put,the fact the dwp want to come round suggests that either you have been picked for a random check or you have triggered something on their system.

Being seen by an advisor at the flat would be a huge help.

As for the eviction i know a lady on another site LB who might be able to help. She is very articulate and knowledgeable. No point in pming me as i can't receive them.

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Yes, JSA can be stopped with no hardship payments.

 

To be fair, there's loads of knowledgeable people on here who could help Caspar regarding her housing situation. I just think it's important that she speaks to someone in person, who can go through the situation in a fully logical way, because doing it like this isn't really working.

I wasn't disputing the fact,i just know this lady has personally intervened on several peoples behalf and at least made every use of the law. All out of the goodness of her heart.

It's just as well that there's people out there willing to do it Fletch, and I can't say enough good things about anyone who takes the time to help. Sadly, I think we're going to be seeing a lot more of this type of thing in the not so distant future.

I agree. I have to say she is a brick. Has helped me more than i can possibly say. Not just her but another lady as well.

Some people on here will know the two ladies i mean. Hearts of pure gold although i am not sure all of cag agree.

Some of my furniture has already been removed. I can still talk to shelter though.

 

yeah sadly the law is a joke, it basically requires to make yourself a nuisance to the landlord probably getting blacklisted in the process to then get help otherwise as she said you will count as voluntary homeless.

My dad told me not to bother ringing them. He thought it was a waste of time. He said I'd be sharing a house with someone.

I rang to ask why my appeal got sent to Belfast and the guy said because income support goes there. I gave him my postcode as he asked and again he said Belfast's office sorts that out. My postcode is PE30. I told him that Basildon sorts it out and always has done. I don't know what to do now. It's too late for my appeal, I feel like they're doing this on purpose.

Sorry Casper, not ring who?

Isn't sharing a house or being in a bedside better than being homeless?

Although my processing centre is Wellingborough i do still get letters from belfast sometimes. Appeals do take ages.

You really need to get to CAB. Or does cambridgeshire have a welfare rights team?

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

fletch70 there is no hardship payable to caspers ghost as they were sanctioned prior to 22nd october and under te old rules no hardship was payable for work program customers.

Casper I can only advise you to follow the advice that Laughing girl has offered regarding the housing and contacting Shelter, the people at Shelter will have a wealth of information available to help and share with you.

Unfortunately if you want something sorted then I am sorry to be so blunt but you are going have to do it yourself, we have advised numerous times of actions that you could/should take but you seem to hold back each time.

 

Please take care of yourself x

Not to ring Shelter. I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out here.

 

Casper, this is one last plea to speak to either Shelter or the CAB again, because I really have no idea what to tell you from here.

I want to speak to them. Would they instantly rehouse me or if I tell them that I am staying round my mum's would they say I am OK where I am? What if they are full? Another question, I need to change my address with Job Centre, if I put in C/O at my mum's address, would she have to pay for me?

Only they will be able to tell you how they'd manage your case, Casper. Once you've spoken to them, come back and tell us how you get on and what their advice is.

Shelter will help anyone. Getting onto the housing list will be easier as you are over 25. Not sure what you mean by how long will they keep you there? They will give you the advice you really need. It is for your own good, please talk to the experts.If they feel you need more help they may find you a volunteer who can deal with the authorities

Yes, they're there for advice...they're not a hostel.

I am a late comer to this thread but already i can see the frustration. I know there have been the holidays but your were advised to go to shelter a month ago and you still haven't been. If you Google shelter that will tell you what services they provide.

Of course you don't want to live with mum at 30.

Do you have any special needs or disabilities because if so a social worker might be able to help.

All that can be suggested is that you take the advice given. People on here are giving their time and effort for free trying to help you, the least you can do is accept and use that advice.

I went to sign on today. When asked if my circumstances have changed. I told the truth. I'm homeless and have no money. So I waited downstairs for someone to see me. Which took forever. And then when he did see me he didn't know what he as suppose to tell me.

I said I am homeless and currently staying with my mum. Not living there. I don't think he understood anyway.

So tomorrow. My birthday. I have an appointment for hardship. He was shocked that I was refused even though I was living on my own. So hopefully I get my money. But this is a one off payment. 'IF' I get it.

 

I have been in town all day so think it's too late to call shelter. He did say go round to the Purfleet trust.

Anyone heard of it? I've been there twice for my food. Don't know if they can help me.
