      247 Money - refused payment holiday & payment plan

      By dx100uk · Posted

      if the agreement was taken out jan 23, then she has not reached the 1/3rd mark so the car has not become protected goods under the consumer credit act.  this puts her in a very very vulnerable position regarding ever keeping the car....whereby once they have issued a default notice they can legally send a guy with a flatbed (though they are NOT BAILIFFS and have ZERO legal powers) to collect the car.  if the car is kept on the public highway then they can simply take it away and she will legally owe the whole stated amount on the agreement AND lose the car. if it's on private property i'e like a driveway, ok they shouldn't take it without her agreeing, but if they do, it's not really on but its better than a court case and an inevitable loss with the granting a return of goods order. are these 'health reasons' likely to resolve themselves in the very short term (like a couple of months?) and can she immediately begin working again ? i'e has she got a job or would have to find one?  answer the above and we'll try and help. but she looks to be between rock and a hard place . whatever happens she will still have to pay the loan off...car or no car....unless you can appeal to the finance company's better nature using health reasons to back off for xxx months.

      DPD parcel stolen

      By purple_rain · Posted

      Hello all,   I ordered a laptop online about 16 months ago. The laptop was faulty and I was supposed to send it back within guarantee but didn't for various reasons. I contacted the company a few months later and they said they will still fix it for me free of charge but I'd have to pay to send it to them and they will pay to send it back to me. The parcel arrived there fine. Company had fixed it and they sent it via dpd. I was working in the office so I asked my neighbours who would be in, as there's been a history of parcel thefts on our street. I had 2 neighbours who offered but when I went to update delivery instructions, their door number wasn't on the drop down despite sharing the same post code.  I then selected a neighbour who I thought would likely be in and also selected other in the safe place selection and put the number of the neighbour who I knew would definitely be in and they left my parcel outside and the parcel was stolen. DPD didn't want to deal with me and said I need to speak to the retailer. The retailer said DPD have special instructions from them not to leave a parcel outside unless specified by a customer. The retailer then said they could see my instructions said leave in a safe space but I have no porch. My front door just opens onto the road and the driver made no attempt to conceal it.  Anyway, I would like to know if I have rights here because the delivery wasn't for an item that I just bought. It was initially delivered but stopped working within the warranty period and they agreed to fix it for free.  Appreciate your help 🙏🏼   Thanks!

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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, this is in relation to the use of IBC in the UK. In the UK does an IBC have to display the IBC part in its name. I've searched the internet and cannot seem to get past the adverts for companies that set up IBCs. So if you had Joe Bloggs Limited that was an IBC registered in the Seychelles, in the UK, on applications forms,letterheads etc, does it have to display the IBC bit. Also if it puts its registered address as being in the UK, does this have to be registered at Companies House. thanks

Sure, IBC is international business company, an offshore company, in this case, i thought i was working for abc123xxx ltd but i was working for abc123xxx uk ltd which is a subcontractor to 123xxx ltd IBC.

Apparantly, its with abc123xxx uk ltd. What i want to know is, does abc123xxx IBC have to show it that way or can it show it as abc123xxx. I appreciate its a bit misleading but I think it has been done that way on purpose.

A UK subsidiary will be registered at Companies House and legal documents served at the registered address if no other address is offered. Now, if thsi is an employment issue and the company are saying you are employed by the IBC then that should be in the contract as it makes a difference to what tax and NI liabilities the company and the individual have. For example a large mining company having mines and businesses all over the world has its HQ in London and employes people via that office even though they have never set foot there so they are entitled to be treated as employed under UK legislation, even if they are in Papua New Guinea. What they put on their letterhead wont make any difference and nor will the country of domicile.

However, someone may be employed under a US contract and work in London and they have to take any legal action in the US, even though they have never been there. Multinationals use this to reduce their staffing levels worldwide by getting rid of the ones that are cheapest to dismiss.

I presume that this company are arguing that someone employed in the UK is subject to another country's laws or they are not subject to UK law. Probably not the case otherwise they wouldnt need the smokescreen.

thank you for the reply, i was employed by abc123xxx (UK) ltd, no - they are not saying I was employed by the IBC. The "mistake" I made was to put abc123xxx Ltd on the claim form. The same person is the sole director of the (UK) company and appears to be the director of the IBC company.and has used the error to delay the tribunal, I have to live with that for now, the judge has asked me to clarify if I want to join abc123xxx(uk) ltd as a respondent instead of abc123xxx ltd. So I am hoping thats a good sign. What it has done is draw my attention to the fact that he is saying there are 2 companies. I can find the UK one registered with companies house. I cannot find the IBC one, using companies house webcheck. So its the first part of your answer that interest me, I want to check the legitimate state of the IBC company and what rules they have to comply to in the UK regarding displaying their name etc.

Delaying tactic. If IBC is not listed in Companies House records then it is obvious who the respondent is. You named the person as respondent and other than delaying the obvious, I cannot see any benefit from arguing there is a difference. The tribunal chairman's patience may wear thin if that argument is pressed. On the other hand, a further delaying tactic may be arguing that the tribunal has no jurisdiction, again that one won't wash.

Name them both as you have that offer
