    • Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for their help in this matter. Since my last post I have received a reply from Plymouth Council Insurance Team concerning my wife’s accident (please see enclosed letter and photo of the offending Badminton post) which they deny any responsibility for the said accident. I feel that the Council is in breach of their statutory duties under the following acts: The Leisure Centre was negligent in its duty of care and therefore, in breach of the statutory duty owed under section 2 of the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957. Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (the Act) to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all their employees, and others who might be affected by its undertaking, e.g. members of the public visiting the Leisure Centre to use the facilities. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 that requires employers to assess risks (including slip and trip risks) and, where necessary, take action to address them. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) require the risk to people’s health and safety from equipment that is used at a Leisure Centre be prevented or controlled. I would like some advice to see if my assumptions are correct and my approach to obtaining satisfactory outcome to this matter are accurate. Many thanks   PLM23000150 - Copy Correspondence.pdf post docx.docx
    • Talking to them does not reset the time limit, although they will probably tell you it does, they'd be lying. Dumbdales are the in-house sols for Lowlife, just the next desk along. If Lowlifes were corresponding with you at your current address then Dumbdales know your address. However, knowing that they are lower than a snake's belly, you would be well advised to send them a letter, informing them of your current address and nothing else. Get 'proof of posting' which is free from the PO counter, don't sign it, simply type your name. That way then they have absolutely no excuse for attempting a back door CCJ.   P.S. Best course of action, IGNORE them, until or unless you get a claim form......you won't.
    • A 'signed for' Letter of Claim has been sent today so they have 14 days from tomorrow... Lets wait and see what happens but i suspect judging by their attitude they wont reply 
    • I am extremely apprehensive about burning our files.... I do not know why, so it is becoming an endless feedback loop. Scared to pull the trigger to speak in the desire not to mess up my file. 
    • Hi All, So brief outline. I have Natwest CC debt £8k last payment i made was 7th November 2018 Not a penny since. So coming up to the 6 year mark. Can't remember when i took out the  credit card would be a few years before everythign hit the fan. Moved house 2020 - updated NatWest as I still have a current account with them. Then Lowells took over from Moorcroft and were writing to me at my current address. I did get a family member to speak to them 3 years ago regarding the debt explained although it may be in my name I didn't rack it up then went contact again. 29th may received an email from overdales saying they were now managing the debt. I have not had any letter yet which i thought is odd?  Couple of questions 1. Does my family member speaking to lowell restart statute barred clock? 2. Do you think overdales aren't writing to me because they will back door CCJ to old address even though Lowells have contacted me at current address never at previous? ( have no proof though stupidly binned all letters  ) Should I write to them and confirm my address just incase? Does this restart statute barred clock? 3. what do you think best course of action is?   Any help/advice is appreciated I am aware they may ramp up the process now due to 7th December being the 6 year mark.   Many Thanks in advance! The threads on here have been super helpful to read.

    • 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 was caught in M&S

they called the police and the checked my entire bag

he found the stuff which i was stolen from M&S

 

.And they are asking for the recepiet of other stuff which was not found.

 

I accepted my fault with guilty and shame.

stuff is from other different store.

 

they have told me to sign a Simple Caution because i donot have the photo id because of (Dependent visa).

Now i am feeling so rediculous i cannot be able to tell this whole story to my family.

 

I want to know how it will effect to my visa processing.

 

And also i have read on different website that i would get a RLP letter to pay the penality

however they have taken back all the stuff with them.

 

want to know getting RLP letter

 

what time it will take because my visa is near around of expiring.

 

I think i stole of about 70-80 pound so how much i would have to pay.

Please help me out I caanot be able to resist it.

In future i will try not to come in UK because its my Dependent visa for 1 year.i am so ashamed off.

i think when i will apply for extension i have to mention this Simple Caution given by police in Visa application which i cannt do bacause of dependency.

I have to live here for 3 more months want to know would the police will disturb me any more at my home.

 

The Simple Caution which police has given to me there is 1 clause included:

I understand that the simple caution may not preclude a subsequent prosecution and that it will not preclude a civil action by an aggrieved party.

If there are any victims as a result of these offence ,they might still take civil action me and the police might give my name and address.

 

This is the reason I am so scared i am new for here in UK.

Hello and welcome to CAG.

 

You won't have to pay RLP, it's the police who deal with shoplifting. Are you expecting to hear more from them [the police] please?

 

If that's your real name, please hit the black triangle at the bottom left of your post and report it to the site team. Tell them you need a name change at what you would like to change it to.

 

My best, HB

Ignore RLP. Their involvement would be at most a civil legal matter, not criminal.

 

The problem you may face is that a Penalty Notice for Disorder (PND) isn't a conviction, but those for "retail theft" still get recorded on the Police National Computer (PNC)

 

https://www.gov.uk/penalty-notices-for-disorder-pnd

 

"No admission of guilt is required, and by paying the penalty, a recipient discharges liability for conviction for the offence. However, PNDs issued for offences such as retail theft, criminal damage, cannabis possession and being drunk and disorderly are recorded on the police national computer (PNC)"

 

So, you don't have a conviction, but if, during an immigration process you are asked: " Have you engaged in any other activities which might indicate that you may not be considered a person of good character?", or equivalent, you take a risk not declaring the PND

 

A PND might not be a bar to a visa, but not declaring it and them finding it on the PNC might well be an issue!

correct, security have no legal power to conduct these actions, and only the police are abled to do so..

 

I would be worried if security had the ability to do this, considering it clearly shows most security cant even perform their own duties lol
