    • I had some contact with this company earlier in my working life but I'm afraid there's not a lot I can suggest that you haven't already done. During your grandfather's time  British Celanese was a subsidiary of Courtaulds. Courtaulds was subsequently (after your grandfather had stopped working there) acquired by Alzo Nobel. They in turn closed down the Spondon site and sold it. I have no idea what the number is that you are trying to call. It's a Derby (Spondon) area code but the number appears not to be allocated. From my slim knowledge of the history of the company I would have expected your grandfather's pension to be in the Alzo Nobel (CPS) Pension Scheme.  But Willis Tower Watson are the Pension Scheme Administrator of that scheme and would be the people who should know if your grandfather had contributed. Is your grandfather certain he contributed? Joining pension schemes wasn't compulsory in those days. Or might he have got his contributions returned when he left them? That happened sometimes back then. Sorry not to be of more help.      
    • I am sorry I am not aware of this report from IAS assessors? The Court will consider my application at a online hearing in June. The Court instructed me to send Bank copies of my sons condition proving he could not have been the driver I have heard nothing further. My son is not aware of any proceedings I have not involved him to avoid causing him distress, he has been sectioned a fair few times and I need to avoid this happening.
    • I am very pleased that the Court has taken the decision to allow you to  represent your son and hope that he is happy enough with that to relieve the stress he will also be feeling. I do agree that Bank parking are so insensitive, greedy, horrible etc etc to continue proceedings considering  in what it is a very minor case of a wrong number plate . Even their  own  IAS Assessors, who are normally hopelessly biased in favour of their members, went out on a limb and said  " The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." That is damning evidence and you must take that report with you as well as including that in your Witness Statement which we will help you with. I would expect that Bank would discontinue the case at that point.  But I am sorry to say  that you should not count on it.  
    • Evening all,   I have deliberated over this offer for two weeks and I have decided to take their offer. I do understand that some may prefer us to go to court and receive a judgement but with our personal circumstances and my current military commitment that could become an issue. I am so grateful for all the help and support you have all offered me over the last few months. I will continue to monitor this site and push all those that are being wrong to get in touch.   Thank you! what you all do is truly amazing!
    • When I first responded to the PAPLOC, and received that 29 page junk back it was accompanied with a letter saying that they had already responded to my request back on Feb 18th 2023,(I never received it). I was just clearing out some paperwork today and found a letter from Lowell, dated Feb 17th 2023, explaining that they were still waiting for the documents from PayPal, and my account was on hold  until further notice.  Does this mean they were lying and can it be used against them if this goes any further? I have now filed my defence, and have had an acknowledgement from Overdales and the court. A little threatening from Overdales , explaining that part of my defence was invalid because they have now complied with the CCA, and they were still waiting for the Default notice from PayPal.

    • 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.

England will be eliminated in the second round, probably on penalties. You heard it here first.

England are 60/1 to win the world cup. For those of you that dont bet, that means if you put £20 down on them, youll lose £20.

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..

The problem with English pundits (and I say this as a Scot) is that they tend to heap ridiculous expectations on their team. The English team is never as bad as the pundits say, and never as good as the pundits say - if you see what I mean. They're a perfectly respectable team who could well make the quarters, and there's no shame in that. To finish the tournament as one of the top 8 teams in the world? Most of us would settle for that.

 

But they ain't world beaters.

Incredibly low odds for a country with players earning £300k a week!!! Maybe they aren't quite worth it.

 

(I do know that's not for playing for their country but you see my point)?

No english footballer is any good. They might be good in the home leagues which are full of the same quality players, but on the international stage, they dont stand a chance in hell.

yes, i know what you mean re pundits.

 

imo, we can be 'world beaters' given our potential attack. the signs were there when we beat spain recently, and did well v brazil. albeit friendlies. thing is getting the balance right, and going for it. do what we do best, and not try to outplay what we can't outplay. if you see what i mean :)

thats something for roy to address. which i'm dubious about. imo, hoddle s/b there. but, will stand by roy.

eg the italians, they usually play defensive boring footy and usually get to the quarters at least. can eng do that? imo, no. in cf. i think we should go for it, the attacking players are there imo, although mostly young. the heat might be a factor though.

One thing I notice as an outside observer is that there's no team that I can say for sure will beat England. Consider, for example, Scotland's Euro qualifying group: we've got Germany. We will lose to Germany. But England? Sure, they might lose to Germany or Brazil or Argentina or Spain, but on another day, they might win.

 

If I were English, I think I'd be most annoyed about the teams repeated failure to live up to its potential. Because on their day, England can beat anyone, but to win the WC, you need to do it consistently. And there lies the problem.

To be honest, and if I were English, I'd treat as an opportunity to show the world what you can do. I don't know what players Roy should pick, but I'd still just be aiming to do as well as possible.

 

That's obvious, of course - what team doesn't want to do as well as possible? But my point is expectations are built up around the England team, often unrealistically. Just get a bunch of good players, turn them out on the pitch, and ask them to do the best they can.

 

Crass and obvious, I know, but all the unrealistic expectations hurt England's players.

You can blame Jimmy Hill for that, he managed to abolish the cap for players in the 60's, Johnny Haynes became the first player to earn £100 per week.

Don't worry the Site Team are in control, if I didn't think we stood a very good chance of winning, I wouldn't of started the thread.

So for you it must be even more worrying that this thread was started without the aid of alcohol.:-D

The big thing is to play to your strengths, too often teams concentrate on how to nullify the opposition and forget their own strengths. Here I give you an example, I have chosen Liverpool randomly to demonstrate. This season Liverpool score goals easily but they do concede goals. The order of the day is to concentrate on their strengths, attack, it doesn't mean they are not going to defend. The big thing for the manager is to win football matches, they are doing that, that's what England need to do.:-)

Hodgeson is not clever enough to out think other top coaches that will be in this tournament. Our coaching staff will let us down and we will get out done tactically, I think. And if he plays Danny welbeck one more time........the man is bloody useless.

Hodgson shouldn't be underated, but can be frustrating at times, using subs for him is problematic if he doesn't think the subs couldn't influence the game, everyone's shouting, 'do something' and he does nothing.:madgrin:
