    • So, Sunak has managed to get someone to 'volunteer to go to Rwanda hasn't he? .. for just £3000 payment to the person plus 5 years free board and lodging isnt it? - cost to UK taxpayer over £300M+ (300 million quid+) isnt it? - Bargain says Rwanda, especially with all the profit we made privately selling those luxury chalets Bravermann advertised for us   I wonder how many brits would jump at that offer? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Lets see, up to 5 years free board and lodging and £3k in my pocket .. I'd go - and like that person - just come back if/when I get bored. First job - off to Botswana for a week to see the elephants.   Of course the paid volunteers going to Botswana are meaningless - Rwanda have REPEATEDLY said they wont take any forcibly trafficked people in breach of international law eh? Have the poops actually got any civil servants to agree to go yet - probably end up as more massive payments to VIPal contractors to go and sit there doing nowt shortly eh?    
    • Hi Wondered if I could get a little advise please. I entered into a commercial lease (3 years) and within a few months I had to leave as the business I was trading with collapsed. I returned the keys to the landlord and explained the situation and no money, also likely to go on benefits but the landlord stuck to their guns. They have now instructed solicitors to send letter before action claiming just over £4000. The lease was mine and so the debt. I know this. I have emailed the solicitors twice to explain I am out of work and that with help from family I could offer a full and final settlement figure of £1500 or £10pw. This was countered by them with an offer to reduce the debt by £400, or pay off the amount over 12 months. I went back with an improved full and final offer of £2500 or £20pw. This has been rejected with the comment 'papers ready to go to court'. I have no hope of paying the £4000 and so it will have to go to court. Pity as I have no debts otherwise but not working is a killer. I wondered if they take me to court, could I ask for mediation? I also think that taking me to court will result in a pretty much nothing per week payment from my benefits. Are companies just pushing ahead with action even if a better offer is on the table? Thanks for your help.
    • Hi all, Many thanks for the advice! Unfortunately, the reply to the email was as expected…   Starbucks UK Customer Care <[email protected]> Hi xxxxxx, We are sorry to read you received a parking charge after using our Stansted Airport - A120 DT store.

    • 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.

Hi guys, thanks steampowered it was just something I was looking into but dont need to anymore as I have lodged the case with the ET. Thanks again though.

 

Hopefully someone can give me some advice on this new question.

 

My daughters boyfriend has been working for a carework company for the last 7 weeks. He has not been paid anything, none of them have employment contracts. He is bank staff which means they go in as and when they are needed I think.

 

After working the first 2 weeks he was expecting to be paid then his boss told him no he will get paid the end of the following month. He was not happy as this had never been discussed anyway he continued to go to work.

 

He was due to be 28 feb 2013, but was not. He asked his boss whats going on they said payroll didnt have him down and he would only be getting paid for 2 weeks work not 7 weeks saying he has to work a month in hand but remember none of this has ever been discussed previously plus they have no contract. All the other staff have been paid but he hasnt.

 

Can anyone advise me if they can do this, I am almost positive they can not. He was brought into the job by a friend and feels he cant raise too much of a issue because it may look bad on his friend that referred him.

 

Sorry no one works for free when they are expected to be paid in my opinon. Sorry for the rant I dont like anyone being taken advantage of, I think the company is making it up as it goes along.

no, of course they have to pay him!

 

has he put the request in writing?

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

Thanks honeyBee13 and Emmzzi

 

No he's not put anything in writing because he feels like he will be causing trouble.

 

Can a company only pay you for 2 weeks work when you have worked 7 weeks. :???:

They said he has to work a month in hand 2 days before he was due to be paid.:-o

 

He's not the best at standing up to management:violin:he feels quite intimidated. The company is small and privately owned by them.

they can indeed get you to work a month in hand, but you'd be wanting a contract saying that

 

is he bothered about causing trouble if he's working for nothing? doesn't seem that much to lose to me...

If you work for a month, you should be paid at the end of that month and not at the end of the following month. Different if on wages. Imagine if every company paid a month in arrears, new employees would be unable to get to work as no cash for anything after 1 month!

Depending on your start date you might not get paid on the 1st pay run after starting but you would be paid for more weeks on the 2nd pay run, I know LA's that if you say, start 1/2 way through the month then you are paid 6/7 weeks not on the next run but the one after, but it normally forms part of your contract.

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

Most care companies pay bank/sessional/relief staff a month behind as there is not way to ensure the exact amount of hours worked that month without putting a mid month cut off point. Also lots of companies pay sleepovers, overtime, expenses a month behind again because it is easier to work with whole months and not part.

I would advise to give it to next pay run and see what happens.
