    • “If Trump’s stock in Truth Social, his company, drops any lower, he might do better under my tax plan than his.” — President Biden, while pitching his plan for higher taxes on the rich in Scranton, Pennsylvania LOL   Does seem that way HB - all the little trumpies throwing their money away while 'larger players' milk them by 'shorting it seems     I'm waiting for it to drop below $20 before investing ... .. some more chortles  
    • It's mostly small investors, isn't it, TJ? I don't think Wall Street and institutions have bought into Truth Social. Much like US banks don't want to lend to him, I'm reading.
    • Looking on their website I would of thought that a Life interest trust would of been set up, and they state:   "A life interest trust  (also known as possession trusts or interest in possession trusts) be used for preserving assets for the next generation whilst providing a benefit for the current generation. For example, if your home is placed into a life interest trust, then the person with this interest can continue to live there until their death. The house would then be distributed in line with your Will." & A trust can be created in your lifetime, which is to take immediate effect (often referred to as a “lifetime settlement”), or it can be created on death through your Will (known as a “Will Trust”).
    • “If Trump’s stock in Truth Social, his company, drops any lower, he might do better under my tax plan than his.” — President Biden, while pitching his plan for higher taxes on the rich in Scranton, Pennsylvania   LOL Hit $26 and likely temporarily bounced back a bit to 27 dollars - from $78 - still a good return on MHA (malodorous hot air)   Wonder whos making the money off this ponzi looking scheme share price colapse?
    • I would have thought so but I'm no lawyer. What did the one that you spoke to say? You could also google about how/when a will trust is set up to get more of an idea before you speak to the original lawyer. HB

    • 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.

Sorry Alan just read your letter again above, you have already given them notice, so I guess the ball is back in your court, you have warned them, they have not given ygiven you a new date when they will comply with your request, they just say asap, how long is asap?? or are they expecting another 40 days to comply.

 

On one hand it shows weakness if you don't act, but on the other hand it is not worth rocking the boat for a few days or so, but how long will they take if you don't take action, however, remember this is your time table not theirs!

In my view you have no indication of how long "as soon as possible" is, they have made no attempt to apologise or otherwise convey a sense of duty or urgency...

 

I would say shake them up a bit. Complain to the IC and issue a claim.

Why not give them the same amount of time they give their customers to pay their charges? ie none :evil:

Okay, I have now considered my response, and will be sending the following tomorrow:

 

I refer to your letter dated 8th June 2006

Whilst I have noted the comments you have made, I am disappointed that your letter contained no apology for the procedural errors by your staff which resulted in the loss of my original DSAR. I would also note that your letter contained no timescale for resolving the matter – despite my letter making it clear that I expected compliance by 12th June.

However, since you have indicated that my request is “now underway”; I am prepared to extend my deadline for compliance by seven days. Please be under no doubt, that should the data not arrive by Monday 19th June, an action will be commenced under section 7 and section 15(2) of the Data Protection Act 1998. I may also escalate the matter to a complaint to the FSA and the Information Commissioner.

I reiterate that no further extension will be granted under any circumstances, as the target I have set is perfectly reasonable for a large organisation such as yours.

 

 

I have to be careful not to fall foul of the County Court rules, and must therefore allow them time to rectify their "error".

 

They received my letter on 6th June, and I am allowing them to get the information to me by the 19th, that could not be seen as unreasonable.

Good response Alan, yes I feel you have to give them another 7 days too unfortunately. It will always work in your favour if in the unlikely event it ends up going to court.

Alan, are you still chasing this up as my claim is the same. I sent my lba off 14 days ago, so basicaly its action time, but i'm not sure now after reading you're thread, should i apply for a set aside with a N244 court form and go down that route or carry on with MCOL. any advice.

Judgement was entered against me in 1998, i am disputing it now on the basis that i have just found out through the recent oft report that it was made up with unlawful charges, i have been paying this debt on a monthly basis and i beleive ccjs are not time barred, that would be my reason for a set aside.

So basicaly i have to convince the judge that the charges that are incorparated whitin this debt are unlawful. Well i have got very good arguments to back my claim up.

I have not chased this up as yet, really I have not had the time to go through the DPA stuff from A&L. Once I have done that - probably after my holiday (so won't be until September), I will move this on.

 

In the end I think this will be a case of working out the amount of unlawful charges, then using that as leverage for a considerably reduced settlement figure.
