    • Thank you very much for your letter in regard to the above mentioned shipment.  Due to the high volume of parcels coursing through the courier network each day, undergoing continuous processing and handling, certain packages may experience delays or even can get lost in the course of this journey. Please note that due to the time that has passed, this shipment has been declared as lost.  I have today processed the claim and made offers to the value of £75 as a goodwill gesture without prejudice. I do acknowledge that you have mentioned in your letter that the value was higher, however, you did not take out any protection to that amount. The protection for this shipment was £20 and we will not be increasing our goodwill offer any further.    Please log into your account online in order to accept our offer. Once accepted, our accounts department will process the claim accordingly. The claim payment will be processed and received within 7 working days.                                  In addition, a refund of the carriage fee will be processed as a separate payment and will be received within 3 working days.  If I can further assist, please feel free to contact me.   I have also just noticed that yesterday afternoon they sent me an email stating that "after my request" they have refunded the cost of shipping. I did not request the refund so will mention that in my letter as well.
    • Hi I had to leave Dubai back in 2011, during the financial crisis. And only now have I received a letter from IDRWW. Is this anything to worry about about as I have 2 years left until it’s been 15 years(statute barred in Dubai). Worried as just got a mortgage 2 years ago. Could they force me in to bankruptcy? Red lots of different threads on here. And unsure what true and what isn’t. 
    • Not that TOR will see this now he's thrown in the hand grenade. Rayner has plenty of female supporters on X, for a start. As for the council and HMRC, fair enough and I thought Rayner was already in touch with them. That's where it should be dealt with, not the police force. @tobyjugg2 Daniel Finkelstein thinks the same as you about tax. The Fiver theory.

    • Often with the Likes of Lowells/ Overdales that 'proof' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.   Think about it like a game of poker, they want to intimidate you into folding and giving up as soon as possible, and just get you to pay up and roll over, that is their business model, make you think your cards are rubbish. What they don't expect, and their business isn't set up for it, is for a defendant to find this place and to learn that they have an amazing set of cards to play. Overdales don't have an infinite number of lawyers, paralegals etc, and the time / money to spend on expensive court cases, that they are highly likely to lose, hence how hard they will try to get you to roll over.  Even to the extent of faking documents, which they need to do because the debts that they purchased were so cheap, in the first place. Nevertheless it works in most cases, most people chicken out, when they are so close to winning, and a holding defence is like slowly showing Overdales your first card, and a marker of intention that this could get tricky for them. In fact it may be,  although by no means guaranteed that it won't even go any further than that.  Even if it does, what they send you back will almost certainly have more holes than Swiss Cheese, and if with the help you receive here, you can identify those weaknesses and get the whole thing tossed in the bin.

    • 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.

My daughter has moved into a private accommodation student house sharing with four others splitting the rent between the four.

 

It now transpires that one of the four has a girlfriend who also lives there all the time (in a full time job)

that wasn't mentioned at first and she is not on the lease.

 

They have now asked my daughter never to mention this girl to the managing agents as she is not supposed to be there.

 

She shares a room with her boyfriend and they pay half each of his rent.

 

Our question is - can this void my daughter's lease as she is unhappy there

- the girl in question is 'queen bee' calling the shots and generally bullying my daughter

and she wants out but has signed a lease with me as guarantor.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Biggest problem is as all other tenants are students no council tax is due on property. This other person's presence will really screw it up for them and the landlord if the council get wind of it. her best bet is to get someone else to take over and assign the lease. Best get LL to agree to that and if it is not possible tell the girl in question that the nuclear button will be pressed if she doesnt sort herself out.

Thanks so much for telling us this - a point we hadn't considered. It turns out it is joint tenancy between daughter and 3 others. She didn't know about this girl as we don't live near and its only when she moved in the others have said 'don't tell the estate agents'. Seems she has no choice but to let someone know.

If she doesn't want to be there and the other woman does, suggest that the other woman takes over her place in the tenancy - that way no one needs to know that she was living there without consent or knowledge of the landlord. If they refuse (obviously the couple are trying to reduce their own outgoings by increasing other people's if they share one quarter of the rent between them (they should all be paying one fifth)), then it is an easy matter for your daughter to inform the landlord that there is an additional person there and she does not want to be held responsible for any damages that person might cause and would therefore like to be released from the tenancy. LL might not be pleased, but better for someone to inform him before there is a problem.

If full time, employed 'queen bee' agrees to assigned joint lease (unlikely), the property would lose C Tax-free status and rent or outgoings would increase for all. This cuckoo full-time occupant is increasing utility bills and risk of T damage by ~20%.

Rather then queen bee she is on thin ice legally.

I assume your dau cannot vacate T without LL agreement, prob requiring her to find acceptable assigned joint T

I do not know if other Ts are mice or wo/men but worth calling a joint Ts meeting to require tenant with offending g/f to contribute 2 fifths rent, deposit and utility costs does not sound unreasonable. Otherwise make it clear he is no longer welcome as joint T

If any joint T has a gaurantor then the G should be apprised of their increased liability.

Thanks for all replies - it seems to be a can of worms! We have decided to tell the managing agents and let them sort it out. The girl has brought it on herself and really why should all the other legal tenants be helping her with subsidising her rent. I am going to do the dirty deed as as a guarantor I have a vested interest. I let you know how it goes. Don't like to dob people in but this situation is too tricky. Thanks again. I'll post how it goes.

Hi Everyone, a quick conversation with the letting agent has meant 'queen bee' and her boyfriend are leaving. Council tax was mentioned. Other people are looking at the room so it means a fresh start for all of them in there hopefully a bit more democratically this time. Thanks to all who helped.
