      Equita assault and serious injury

      By hhh_88873 · Posted

      Dx100uk according to the ICO office, who I spoke to at some length earlier today after getting the email from the court, Equita are the data controller if they have instructed the contracted EA. The ICO have noted the case, and stated very clearly that the court has the higher standing in terms of dealing with, and punishing either party if they fail to adhere to the district judges order and any action they take will not be criminal.    but they also stated very clearly that with what I’ve told them, and on the basis of accepting what I’ve told them as gospel (which it is with written confirmation from both the courts and the police) then there is some major red flags being raised on both sides with them blaming each other.    they’ve advised me to essentially keep my powder dry until there is a charging decision and an outcome from the seperate proceedings with the EAC2 complaint, and then come back to them with the case and they will be in a stronger position to act against Equita and the EA as there will be established facts and evidence that have already been laid before a court.

    • 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

 

 

So you mentioned that the bonuses were for meeting targets set by the company and the factory staff have been excluded (I assume for not meeting targets).

 

Now were any of the Managers graded m2 and above in charge of the factory staff to meet those targets?

Well, that's nice.

 

How about some facts instead of your opinion? Bonus is awarded for what? Contractual or discretionary? Without proper inforation we can't help, so if you could stop being angry long enough to tell us the whole story properly please..?

Hi Bones76

 

I know you may feel angry and upset about this but you need to take that anger out of the equation as you may not get the advice you need to assist you.

 

As Emmzzi suggested could you give us some information to assist you:

 

1. What is the Bonus awarded for?

2. Is this Bonus part of your Employment Contract or?

3. Is this Bonus Discretionary?

 

I can only understand how you feel but to get anywhere with this anger needs to be put aside and you need to concentrate on whether the employer has actually done wrong i.e. Employment Law and the Companies own Policies and Procedure.

ok guys, no longer annoyed or ****ed. hatred put in bottle.

 

1. it is contratal as i understand that bonus is paid for hitting tgts, these tgts are UN-achevable in my opinion as the company will not spend money to fix the tools we are expected to run.

2. this is the real bummer, our contracts where changed 3 years ago from an end of year profit bonus to a quarterly tgt met bonus

Hello again.

 

Thank you for the extra information and I'm pleased you had second thoughts about the FB page. When you have time, please have a read around this forum for facebook threads and you'll see the trouble it's caused other members here.

 

Are your colleagues as incensed as yourself and do you think they would be interested to be involved in trying to change things with you please?

You need to discuss the issue of targets and machinery not working properly with your line manager/supervisor. It is not in managements best interests for people to fail to meet targets as it looks bad for them too.

 

Talk calmly and clearly about it. Tell them you really want to achieve targets and how it frustrates you that you can't due to the machinery. If your manager says they can't do anything about it, ask them to raise it with their manager.

 

Try and be positive and suggest solutions without dwelling on the negative.

Don't be put off if you don't get the response you want. The important thing is to make sure that you let them know you see there's a problem so they can address it. You need to give them the opportunity. If it doesn't get sorted then you can consider what your next step should be.

Unless it says you make 15 widgets and you did make 15 or above in your contract there is nothing you can do here other than collective bargaining

 

That means the workforce in unison not just one voice

 

If you decided to be the lone ranger or Spartacus on this issue with your managers you'll only be building your own gallows!

We don't have a union, when we asked "how many of the workforce need to be in a union" we where asked bk, "why do u need to know that?" can someone enlighten me? I was told many years ago that 40% of the work force had to be in one for any company to formally recognize it. Is that true? If not? what are the facts about joining one and the support we can expect?

respectfully,

Even if your employers don't recognise a union, you can still get advice and support, and it's a lot cheaper than paying a solicitor!

Thx caro, but i really need some facts. as above could some one tell me what percentage of a workforce is required to be a member of a union for a company to recognize it. also would this have to include office staff and managers? also again, would this only have to be the factory floor staff? are there different unions for different types of staff members? Any facts u can give me would be of great help to me and my fellow workers.

p.s learning to control my anger and frustration guys :)

Hello again.

 

Here's a link to ACAS with a bit more information on unions and what it takes to be recognised by an employer. They have a helpline that you might like to talk to.

 

I have known companies that had different unions for different types/levels of worker, I don't know if this has changed at all.

 

I think you're in the private sector? Are you able to give us an idea what the company does please? That way we should be able to tell you which union deal with it.

There is no percentage because their is no obligation for a company to recognise a union at all.

 

Most do though as it gives the impression that the care a small amount about their staff.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks
