    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

Evening All - I'm just after a someone who is in the know about company finance issues and placing default notices on company credit file if possible?

 

 

To give you a very brief background into my case I was employed by a government organisation and in October 2003 it was revealed that they had made errors with many employees salaries and subsequent pension contributions dating back to 2003, to summarise they are now applying The Limitation Act 1980 to make reduced payments to all the affected 250 staff members identified. As the organisation is refusing to pay me in full I now view all the outstanding monies owed as a debt and will be treating its as such, hence my intention on placing a default notice against the organisation in question.

I have established that I have a reasonable argument under S.32 The Limitation Act 1980 subsection ©. to bring a civil claim against my former employers, as a mistake is a major part of the problem AND a reasonable level of due diligence was carried out each month when receiving my monthly salary, also the fact 250 members of staff did not realise that their monthly pay had a shortfall further emphasises the gravity of the problem.

For more details see my other post the link can be found in my profile - I can't post the direct link as I only have 5 posts and require 10 posts or more to put links on here

I would like to know if possible:

1. Can I place a default notice on the organisations credit file? With Experian / Equifax etc? My former employers have admitted that mistakes with my pay amounted to £10k dating back to 2003 however they have paid me just £1,001 using The Limitation Act 1980 to make this reduced payment

2. This case will be going to court shortly so could I write to the credit reference agencies and ask that a default notice is placed before a court judgement is made based on the correspondence that I have and limited payments made by the organisation?

Again any input or advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Again,

muzzy17

Hi, I think much will depend on the status of the entity that you were employed by.

 

 

Debts owed to Government departments e.g. the DWP (overpayments) are not reported on CRA files.

 

 

Also this case would appear to be an employee/employer matter better placed with an employment tribunal.

 

 

There is a procedure to follow before a default could be placed, also you would need to subscribe to a CRA ( 3 main ones) which would involve costs to you.

 

 

I really doubt that this is a viable proposition for an individual involved in an employment dispute.

Hi Brigadier2JCS, thanks for your advice - I must add that the mistake was only discovered in October 2013 and some 250 staff members are affected who also didn't realise the shortfalls in their salaries, this just demonstrates the complexity of the mistake. The organisation have now flatly refused to pay anything which falls outside the Limitation Act 1980 as it is statue barred - Section 32 subsection c provides an adequate argument against this.

 

As the organisation owe outstanding monies to us all which fall outside the limitation act I know view this as a debt and wanted to treat it as such, i'm not bothered about how much it costs me personally to join the agencies its about the moral of the issues now and I want to set a precedent on many front in relation to these matters.

 

Thanks again for your advice - I will keep you all updated on this story. The national tabloids are interested in this story so will post the links when the story goes live.

Ok, when did the actual "even" occur?

 

 

I agree Sect.32 c LA 1980 does clearly defer the limitation period when the "deprivation" is caused by a mistake.

 

 

Do you and your colleagues have a union or other body to represent you?

The 'mistake' from looking at the external auditors report dates back to 2003. I can prove minimal due diligence under S.32 as I checked my monthly pay slip and of course 250 other members off staff not noticing this error tells its own story.

 

 

The reason this particular organisation are so stubborn on not paying outside the limitation period is because they have only set aside £1.1m from their budget to offset this problem. If they paid everyone in full it would take approximately £3m - £4m to settle in full.

 

 

They have gone on record to state in writing that this issue could be 'considered' a breach of contract, but they are scared if someone wins a court case it could set a legal precedent for them to pay out all staff members in full.

 

 

Unfortunately as I'm a former staff member the UNISON have confirmed that they cannot represent matters of a historical nature so only serving staff members who pay into the scheme can get representation.

That does make it more difficult to challenge this for a loan individual!

 

 

Which Government Department is responsible for the "organisation" you worked for?

 

 

Perhaps get your MP involved in this.

May be a complaint to the Minister of State for the Police at the Home Office would help.

I see the police state it stems from 2006, is the a cover up?

 

Damian Green Is the man I think.

Thanks for your advice - Damien Green has been emailed and I am awaiting his response in full, also the Police and Crime commissioner has been written to and i've asked him for his thoughts on this matter, especially at a time he spent a reported £160,000 of the forces budget pursuing his own agenda of ousting the current chief constable Neil Rhodes, again no response as yet. The Nettleham MP Edward Leigh has also been emailed and informed of events.

 

Its amazing what lengths Senior Police officers go to in order to limit any damage their force could be exposed to in public - the press release to the BBC (as linked above) is interpreted that the force would be fully resolving these issues yet away from the pubic scrutiny of the article the reality is that the force are applying the Limitation Act 1980 to make reduced payments to staff which is not mentioned. I've asked Mr Smy the deputy chief constable on two separate occasions why he has omitted information from the press releases back in October and he has ignored both questions put to him.

 

I think again the 2006 date quoted was the start of the limitation period that they were paying staff from - if you have a look at the audit Lincolnshire report it states that the errors stemmed from 2003. Here's the audit report which is available to the public, its strange however that Lincolnshire Police would go on record and state 2006 when the facts (which are publicly available) suggest otherwise.

 

http://www.lincolnshire-pcc.gov.uk/Document-Library/Item-9---Appendix---Lincs-Police-Audit-Lincolnshire-Final-Report.pdf

 

Can you see a pattern here? When the heat is on "no comment" seems to be the best policy and this is at a time police accountability is at the lowest levels ever recorded. Unfortunately the police service is accountable to the tax payer and i'm sure most would like to know what has happened to the misappropriated tax payers money.
