    • Ok thanks, I really need help with my mental health over this I’ve called 111 Hi sorry just one more thing can they contact my workplace?
    • Sorry to shatter your leftie dreams 🤣😂🤣😂     Donald Trump gets a SIX-POINT bump in approval after being found guilty on 34 counts according to snap Daily Mail poll: 'I think it was a waste of taxpayer money' WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Teflon Don rides again, according to an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com which found that the guilty verdict in Manhattan... James Johnson, who conducted the poll, said Trump might be waking up as convicted felon but he was winning over the voters who matter.   Our snap poll of a representative sample of likely voters shows that for most Americans the trial has not changed their deep-set views of Trump,' he said.  'But amongst those who are open to changing their mind, people feel more positive by a margin of 6 points. That is outside of the margin of the error of the poll and we are saying that is significant. 'It extends to Independent voters too. Look at the explanations and it is clear why: people feel it was a politically motivated trial and view Trump as a "fighter" against what they see as injustice.

    • It’s all with current lenders and no missed payment to date. so with any reduced payment to them it’s likely to be going to debt collectors at some stage. we jointly own a property together me and my partner 
    • It’s all unsecured loans and credit cards. Mainly loans now though as most credit cards are paid off.   so 95% unsecured loans.   I just don’t know my situation job wise it’s almost impossible to say whether it’s likely or not just don’t want to be caught out by it. My mental health trying to pay this off has taken a huge hit also if I’m being honest. I feel like mentally I need some kind of respite and the credit file cost is something I can accept also.

    • 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 need some help and advice on an issue i am having with brighthouse please.

 

I am not sure if something similar has been posted and i am new here, so i apologise in advance.

 

I have been away for a few weeks due to a family emergency, and brighthouse, among other things, became less of a priority.

 

I have been a customer with them for over a year, and have always paid in full, on time, every week, and everything is on my name.

I fully intended to pay, but never gave it a second thought and went off to sit with my dying mother.

 

I came home this morning from my family, only to find one letter about late payment, which was dated the 5th of February,

and nothing else from them, except, my ex, who was house sitting for me, had let them in,

to recover a washing machine and a corner sofa and matching arm chair.

I have a television with them too, which was locked in my bedroom, and a mobile phone, which was with me.

 

My ex sighed a voluntary surrender form for the sofa and washer, not realising the tv was locked upstairs.

They told him that unless i surrendered the tv and phone by next friday, i would be arrested.

The tv never left the property, as stated in the agreement, and the phone, which is a mobile, is with me at all times.

 

No court order was obtained, and no final default notice has been sent to me.

Obviously being a sunday, i can't ring them until tomorrow, but surely without these, they should not have been allowed to take the items?

 

I had one letter stating that i was late paying, but nothing more.

I am still within the time frames from when they can take the goods, and have done nothing illegal,

as the goods, except the mobile phone, have ever left the property, so i did not breach my contract in that respect.

 

I have had the sofa and armchair since 22 February 2012, so i am not entirely sure if that is a third of the time, because of when i last made them a payment.

 

Can someone please help as to what else i can do?

I am sure i cannot get back the goods taken, but what are my rights to the goods i still have,

and any payments owed to me, if any, on the sofa and arm chair?

 

Thank you in advance.

i cant see how your ex can sign for them as he is not the buyer.

 

as for the stuff they have not taken so far

 

they ARE NOT BAILIFFS and have no such LEGAL POWERS.

 

regardless to the fact you might not have paid 1/3rd.

I know, I laughed at that childish statement too! Not quite LOL but a chuckle, how fantastically inept? That joke should be on a stage, eejitt!

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

So I will not be arrested if they don't get the tv and phone back by next Friday?

 

I have done nothing illegal or wrong except miss a few payments?

 

Is it worth me seeing a solicitor and taking legal action against them?

 

Or should I just give back the stuff and end it there?

I read my agreement, and according to what it says, they did not issue a default notice so they could not have ended the agreement, and the goods were repossessed without my permission or a court order.

I am sure that when you sign a agreement with them you are giving them the right to forced entry. Look at your paperwork.

 

they are powerless debt collectors that if they turn up at any property can be told to play with the traffic

 

no forced entry

If they do turn up on friday do not let them in , talk to them from an upstairs window for example, tell them to leave your property , if they do not leave you will call the police, and when they turn up use that mobile phone to video them and their threats.

If you have any dealings with them try to record it.

hello all:-)
