    • Paint is a free programme on any Windows PC. But don't worry, the choice here is not either perfection or nothing. As you say, use your scanner, save the file ... and then use the "choose files" option when you post to CAG to add the file. We can do all the redacting and converting to the correct file type at this end.  The important thing is just to get the info to us. Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?  
    • I see they're trying to round up asylum seekers and lock them up for about three months so they can be put on planes to Rwanda. I'm a bit surprised that this is legal.  
    • thought for the day "Prime ministers need a big strategy that tells you where you’re going, you need a bunch of tactics that get you there, and you need the ability to take everybody else with you."   Now I know you are all thinking 'why is the  UKs destination Rwanda ???
    • Asset Link filed for a default CCJ against me, in relation to an old Barclaycard debt which I apparently signed an agreement for back in 2000.   I did not own a Barclaycard in 2000 so I know this is not true.  The CCJ notice was sent to an old address so I did not receive it.  Years later when I found out about the CCJ when I applied for credit, I put an application in to have the CCJ set aside.   As part of the set aside case, I was asked by the judge to provide a draft defence, should the CCJ be set aside.   The defence I provided was that I did not admit to the debt as I had not been provided with any evidence of an original loan agreement.   I won the case and the CCJ was set aside.   Link then filed to court again to make me pay the debt.   We both filed directions questionnaires and the judge allocated the claim to the small claims track.   As part of the directions, additional directions given were as follows ' Additional Directions in a claim for an Assigned Debt - Because the claim is in respect of an assigned debt the Court makes the following directions for the management of claim.  The claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless, before that time, the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents'  It then listed various documents such as an original agreement, deed of assignment, notice of default, statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement etc.     The Claimant failed to provide these documents within the deadline provided and instead I received a copy of a bundle of documents provided by them in preparation for the court date, this was received weeks after the deadline.    I have called the Court to ask if it has been automatically struck out and they advised that it is not automatic and that I should still send my witness statement by the deadline provided, which is Wednesday.  This does not give me much time to prepare my witness statement.   I have never done anything like this before and I am unclear what my witness statement should include.  My thoughts were that I should keep it simple and stick to the facts, like the fact thy have not provided evidence of the original agreement, or the deed of assignment of the debt.   They have provided a copy of a default notice from Baclaycard dated 2015, this states a figure of £550 but the debt they say I owe is £10k.   I am not sure what makes a valid default notice?   I have previously requested proof of the debt from Barclaycard directly and have evidence of emails between us where they have been unable to provide me with the agreement or any documents at all relating to the debt.   Should I include these as an appendix?  Are there any other documents I should include in my bundle?    I have also tried to mediate with the claimants, to save the court costs and time, on a without prejudice basis, but the claimants solicitors refused to mediate.   Should i state this in my witness statement too to show the judge that I have been reasonable and they haven't? Many thanks   Louise

    • 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.

Just a quick moan about r mail.

 

i work for and use internet retail sites as iam sure most people do.

 

As a user of their services i have seen at first hand their shoddy attitude to fullfilling online retailers promises.

 

example one....

 

guy orders item for next day before 9am we as a company get charged £50 for the service.

guy calls following day at 9.35 calling our company all the names under the sun,

 

We contact royal mail to find out what went wrong,

answer fill in a claims form!!!.

THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES.

 

.Example two

 

i purchased an item from an online retailer and paided £6.00 for next day express delivery

this was on thursday as nothing has turned up as yet (sat evening)

i will now be looking at tuesday earlest(item was needed over weekend).

 

How does this company manage to continue trading,

hilst dragging all the firms it does business with down with their appealing standards.

How can a company guarantee a 9am delivery when the last amount of mail does not come into the delivery office till 8am, then that mail has to be sorted in the delivery office before dispatch

 

the average time staff get out to start there delivery is now 10am

 

its not so bad in towns, but most towns cover a wide rural delivery

I completely agree with you, the prices have gone through the roof, the service has dropped and so much stuff goes missing.

 

If you pay for special delivery and before 9am you expect with the huge price you pay to get it there it should get there...

 

firs class used to be there the next day, RM now says it can take 1-5days... online auction site still says it should be there the next day therefore your seller is ripping you off.. why did they have to change a system that worked really well... really really well...

 

sigh understand completely

simple reason why the changed the syatem has been a recruiting ban for the last 5 years. Natural wastage such as retirement has not been replaced. Royal mail are going through a process of revisions. Each main office has to lose roughly 400 man hours a week through imposed savings structure

 

simple answer

 

to much work, not enough staff

My son needed and paid for a parcel next day from a local company for this weekend, a large parcel. It didn't arrive so he rang yesterday to see where it was and they said it wasn't on the van for Saturday either so he said he would come and collect. When he got there they said they couldn't find it so he told them to cancel deliver and send it back. He went into the company and bought the same machine so now has to reclaim for the first one.

 

It is the company that would get moaned about and not RM who are responsible.

 

This was picked up locally by a local van with a local driver and taken to a local depot, so where is it.

Unfortunately most mail goes to the big mail centres to be sorted now, rather than local stuff staying local.

 

I remember a big row a few years ago when RM decided that mail would no longer be sorted in the Isle of Wight, but sent to Portsmouth, Southampton, or even Reading. Hitherto all IoW mail stayed of the island.

 

The more it moves the more likely it is to get damaged.
