    • @Man in the middle I've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • 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?

    • 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.

Couldn't go to today. Car was packed, parents, brother, sister and niece had to be somewhere.

I asked my dad if I could phone the council tomorrow and he said I could. So I could ask to be refereed over the phone. Didn't know why they didn't take me. I can't go on my own as I have no idea what to say.

 

That's fine, Casper. Call them in the morning, tell them that you're homeless and you need a referral. Just answer any questions they have for you, then come back here and let us know how it goes.

Casper!

I honestly can't say I'm surprised that you still haven't sorted anything out, I am sorry but I think that there will always be something that gets in the way and until you pull your socks up and deal with this yourself for your to move on with your life you are simply going to plod on just as you have done since this thread started and are you really suprised that people are infuriated with your lack of action.

 

PLEASE can you just phone them tomorrow morning to get things started? The people there areonly human they will not judge you and will help as best as they can IF that is what you want of course. If you do want the help then go and get it if you don't then simply carry on as you have been.

Casper you are 26 or 27 years old, why are you not capable of taking responsibility for yourself?

Of course you can ask for help but you shouldn't expect the help just to be given.

You can always ask you parents for the telephone number and simply call the team yourself tomorrow, surely you don't need somebody to call for you?

 

I am mid 30's and although I know I can ask my parents for help at any time I also know full well that as an adult I am responsible for looking after myself and I have been since I left school 20 years ago, I certain;y never expected anybody to run around a\fter me then and I most certainly don't now.

I was going to call them. My parents just know the number, which I will ask for tomorrow. I used to be phone shy after something happened to me over the phone. And I also have low confidence and very shy. But I can ask the council myself. Just have to ask mum for which department, as never had to call them before. I am 26, when I said I was 26, it was days before my birthday.

Just tell them that you're homeless, and need a referral...they'll ask you questions as you go along.

I've had similar thoughts too.

 

People sometimes 'cant see the wood for the trees' and get tied up with 'other stuff' in an effort to block out a bigger issue.

 

The main problem here is lack of any positive action on part of the original poster.

 

I can't see why their mother would be fined for having them stay - that doesn't make any sense to me - I am aware of no rule which says a parent cannot have a child stay, even an older one.

She would lose money from her housing benefit for having another adult in the house unless they are unwaged. I believe the deduction is £20.

Yes, I know...but Casper appears to have forgotten where her sanction letter is so she has no proof of income, or lack thereof in her case.

 

To be honest, it's sort of the least of her worries, really. I still have no idea what happened with the compliance interview she was supposed to have. Or where her furniture is, or if it's her LL she owes £1600 to. Thinking about it, I just have no idea generally when it comes to this thread. The plot, I appear to have misplaced it.

I know the wheelsof government take a long time to turn but this us just silly.

 

Another question,and it may be rather rude. If you are very shy (and i do not doubt the issues this causes people) why was it a problem working in a factory with people who didn't speak English?

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Very careless of you laughing girl but with the stuff you are going through who can blame you.

However i think my plot may be hiding out with yours.

 

There's a joke in here, but I don't dare go for it in case I unwittingly identify my 'employer'.
