      Should we trust Sunak or the next PM to fix the Country's problems? (title revised 24/10/22)

      By honeybee13 · Posted

      According to Alastair Campbell on Twitter, anti-Le Pen parties are pointing to RN's fiscal policies and saying they'll cause a 'Truss-style market meltdown'. Liz Truss charged taxpayers for Amazon Prime subscription - Mirror Online WWW.MIRROR.CO.UK The subscription costing £95 gives the ex-PM free shipping from the retail giant, as well as the ability to stream films and TV shows such as My Fault...

      Another P2G / EVRi Lost Parcel Claim

      By steam_hammer · Posted

      Thank-you @BankFodder, your statement is a correct understanding of my position and I agree, it is actually really what I was looking for in starting this thread, as I too believed that the maximum I could claim for is that which I sold it for, even though this was substantially below market value at the time. And so, this sold value is what I shall be claiming for + the other expenses. @dx100uk I get your point, but this is just not what I want to expose myself to. Unfortunately I was one of the unlucky ones to have my details stolen in the Peoples Energy hack, and in 2020 I discovered that those details had been used to take out car insurance, and that the insured was then involved in a collision and my details were dragged through the mud. Despite Aviva cancelling the claim and treating as though it never were, even though I have the letters from them to say that they have removed this claim from the insurance database, I still get refused insurance and credit products to this day until I send across the letter from Aviva which explains that I was a victim of fraud. So you'll forgive me for not jumping up and uploading my data to a server utility for which I have no control over its retention policy, or where the server is located globally, its legal jurisdiction, or its security protocols.

    • 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.

Cheers ,I am one of lifes worriers but still think 95% sure it SHOULD be ok! . Thank you for your message.

 

The possible loss of a house IS a worry...

 

Nicely done there :)

 

Big up the help you received here as well. A font of help and information. You have been very fortunate with the County Court you were at. I am trying to get some duty solicitor help at Dudley County Court and have got no where (actually to be more accurate, in seeing the staff in person at the court they could not be helpful enough, other staff on the phone since have been very 'strict' - in the self same position where no duty solicitor will be attending on the next court date they seemed mortified at the thought of one considering going in on a date that one was not listed for court to get legal advice on a mortgage [arrears] matter).

 

Rest easy, 95% is a good number :)

Excellent news re the cancellation of the eviction.

 

Not sure you'll avoid the legal costs as the action they took wasn't unwarranted - you were in arrears and they applied to the court legitimately to execute a warrant on the old suspended possession order. But there is absolutely no harm in asking the DS to request that - you might be lucky depending on which judge hears the case.

 

Lee, make sure you arrive at least 30 minutes before the hearing as I told the DS that you would be there by 9:30 am.

QualitySolicitors Talbots are the providers of the duty scheme at Dudley County Court, 0800 118 1500.

 

Quality Solicitors Talbots (QST) are held in high regard by both judges and staff at the court Dudley County Court. A upcoming court date is not on a date listed for QST to attend and QST do not offer free consultation on mortgage matters :( Lee was really fortunate on multiple levels there with you and the duty solicitors resulting in the most positive of outcomes just round the corner which is all good :)

They are the government sponsored duty providers, which means they provide advice on possession proceedings, be that rentals or mortgages.

DS did comment on the level of charges on my account also I really want to know the legal costs the spo cost and enforcing it and eviction notice cost . Is there a sticky someone can point me in the right direction please.

 

Also ell did ask the ds about legal fees he said it is set amounts and don't try it. Also there solicitor did turn up.

 

Lea I didn't got steel got a lady she was quite nice. It really wasn't how I read about. They used a proper court with the judge sitting high up and benches was quite scary.

You were probably in court 3? Court has had six judges sitting over the past few days rather than just the usual four downstairs (there are two upstairs too, but I don't imagine you were upstairs). If you were in court three, then she was probably a deputy district judge just sitting in the red chair instead of the blue one lower down (which is where the deputy usually sits in that court) - either way, it's treated as chambers rather than 'court'. Sorry it was scary - I should have forewarned you that if it was in that court it would seem a bit different to how it usually is.

 

Without wanting to contradict the DS, if he really said that the legal fees were fixed, then he's wrong. That is true for costs in some rental possession proceedings, but not in mortgage possession proceedings as the costs are a contractual issue, not a legal one. You CAN challenge legal costs on a mortgage, but ONLY if they are unreasonably high. E.g. approximately £600 for possession proceedings is about average - if they're as high as £1000 or more, for issuing paperwork and attending one hearing, then they are too high and you can ask them to break down the cost for you - which you can then obviously challenge if they say they spent 20 hours completing the court form for example as at best it would take 2 hours.

 

Hope you manage to stick to your payment plan this time - but if not, seek help before it gets to the eviction stage!

 

Best of luck - and you're welcome to the help, it's what we're here for.
