    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.

I see the point you are making, but I respectfully disagree with your interpretation that you were "offered" a fixed term employment contract.

 

When evaluating the intentions of the parties, the courts would look at all the facts and circumstances in the round. The courts would try to work out what a reasonable observer would have understood as constituting the agreement of the parties.

 

I think the fact that your written signed contract expressly states that the employer can choose whether to offer you hours would determine the dispute. If the intention was to offer you a fixed term employment contract, rather than a contract allowing the employer to choose whether to offer you hours, that is what you would expect the contract to say. A clear, express statement in a formal written contract is almost always going to take precedence over separate vague alleged agreements.

 

There's not really anything more I can say, we may have to respectfully agree to disagree on this one. As you were advised by widewinder, if you do want to push this you could issue a claim through the MCOL system, but personally I do not think you would have a good chance of success if the employer decides to contest the claim.

I never thought that an official fixed term contract which terminates on the expiry of a specific term was offered to me but that what was offered to me was rather a specific task which no end date i.e. a project. Anyway something should have been offered to me and accepted by me because my contract makes reference to offer and to acceptance and the principle of ‘offer and acceptance’ of contract law should apply to it

 

It is important to note that a contract could be oral or by email and not necessary in a document signed by the parties

he doesnt want advice, he wants us to all agree his is much smarter than the people he has locked horns with over his employment, rental and college affairs. Well, if he truly belives the nonsense he writes why bother coming here and not just getting on with a court claim for the untold millions he so obviously deserves as recompense for the imaginary slights he has suffered.

Or it could be that he has "issues" as they say when being polite about mental health problems.

I think that simply you are not able to reply to the legal issues raised by my thread but this is not a problem I invite you simply to carry on trying to find a reply to these legal issues

 

How difficult is this to understand? Every single person had told you the same thing. THERE ARE NO LEGAL ISSUES. There is nothing to say because you refuse to accept this no matter what anyone says. You have wasted a lot of good people's time here and elsewhere. You are not cleverer than everyone else. You are simply blinder than than everyone else. It would appear that you are either very stupid, or you are deliberately baiting people by reprising the same useless phrases over and over again to see how long you can keep this going for. We don't need testing. We know what we are talking about. We can hold down employment for considerably longer than two days. Something you seem to find impossible to do. Does it make you feel big and important to act like some kind of guru and insult people by pretending they are stupid children who need teaching by you? Because here's a shock for you. You are acting like a pathetic infant who had been told they can't have more sweets. So I "invite" you to take a hike... Nobody here believes you. Nobody thinks you are clever. There must be another site you could go and annoy?

Possibly now is the time to see a lawyer, resources, as you seem to have more or less worn out the advice here.

 

People have tried their best to advise you, but you don't seem to like the answers.

I would like to reply to 'Sangie595' that I do not understand what to say that someone is not able to reply to an issue has to do with insulting people. The issues raised by my thread are simply difficult and there is nothing to be ashamed off of not being able to reply to difficult issues. I think that 'Sangie595' is too touchy.

 

Difficult issues means also interesting issues because to succeed to reply to a challenging issue is rewarding

When we want to issue a claim to the Employment Tribunal we have to go through a compulsory early ACAS conciliation period. When this ACAS conciliation period ends ACAS issues a certificate which allows the claimant to issue a claim. There is a three-month limitation period to issue a claim to the Employment Tribunal. The claimant has an additional month after this certificate is issued to issue his claim.

 

I would like to know if we can still reach early conciliation with the employer through ACAS within this additional month after this certificate has been issued without the need to issue a claim to the Employment Tribunal or we have to issue a claim otherwise ACAS does not intervene anymore?

 

This is very important if we need more time to first try to reach a settlement with the employer using his internal procedure, if this is not possible to try to reach an ACAS early conciliation and if is not possible to issue a claim to the Employment Tribunal.

Potential respondees may find the information in the thread http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?473674-Zero-hours-contract-offer-acceptance-withdrawal-of-offer&p=4989203#post4989203 useful, when considering:

a) their reply, and (more importantly??)

b) if it is even worth replying.

 

Is the OP looking for a one word answer? or to start another argument??.

Ohh, no doubt they'll dress it up as "I want help" and "its a real situation", and "I want an answer, and then when I disagree I'll want you to give the basis for your answer" ...... but look at that thread (and their posting history!). If they don't hear what they want, they just argue some more, never discussing ... just contradicting. Beware.

Issue the claim if you are approaching the time limit, to avoid being time barred. You can still negotiate, and withdraw the claim if negotiation isn't successful.

 

There, you've got your answer.

No, I won't enter into further discussion with the OP (and I advise caution for anyone else who might .....).

 

 

 

BTW, I'll happily discuss it further with any of the forum regulars if they disagree (as I may learn something new.....), and they'll no doubt back up their stance with a rationale.

This thread is a different matter that my previous thread.

 

I have submitted an Early Conciliation notification form and an ACAS conciliator has been appointed.

 

However the problem that I have is that I am still negotiating with my employer to find a settlement and I do not want that the ACAS conciliator contacts my employer as long as I am still negotiating with him because I do not want he knows that I have already approached ACAS because this could be considered as hostile. The problem is that we are coming close to the one month deadline after which the ACAS conciliator has to issue a certificate. It is why I would like to know in case my negotiation fails with my employer if I can still ask to my ACAS conciliator to contact my employer to try to find an early conciliation even if this certificate has been issued without the need to issue a claim because to issue a claim even if I withdraw it will cost money and could be seen as hostile by my employer.

Quote - from ACAS

 

"There’s a time limit to make an Employment Tribunal claim usually of

three months which pauses if you engage in Acas Early Conciliation.

However conciliation doesnt stop there. You can contact Acas for

conciliation before you lodge the Employment Tribunal claim, and up to

the point of an Employment Tribunal hearing"

Any advice given is done so on the assumption that recipients will also take professional advice where appropriate.

I do not understand why you have put my new thread at the end of my previous old threads.

 

 

My new thread has not nothing to do with my previous old threads.

 

 

I would be grateful to you if you can separate my new thread from my old threads otherwise people will get confused

I have seen complaint procedures of educational institutions having up to three or more stages. I would like to know why complaint procedures have so many stages?

 

Because they are following ACAS guidelines. Informal, 2 x formal, and an appeal, usually.

Never assume anyone on the internet is who they say they are. Only rely on advice from insured professionals you have paid for!

It is a different thread and I would like you separate it from my other threads. The reason is that ACAS concerns employer and has nothing to do with educational institutions (I am a student and not a teacher). My thread about ACAS concerns old cases and I have moved on since.

 

I would like to provide the following additional information concerning my new thread:

 

The problem that I have is that I have started the complaint procedure but my educational institution has processed it only through two stages even though the complaint procedure has three stages.

 

What has happened if that during stage 2 the manager who should have replied to my complaint was not available and it was the manager which is involved in stage 3 who replied to me under stage 2. The consequence is that there is no manager of a higher seniority to reply to my further complaint under stage 3. Therefore my educational institution refuses to reply to my further complaint under stage 3.

 

I would like to know what to tell to my educational institution to convince it that it has a duty to comply fully with its own complaint procedure by processing my complaint through three stages and not only two if necessary by asking to a manager of another department to reply to my further complaint under stage 2 because there is nobody in my department of a higher seniority than the manager who already replied to my complaint under stage 2. Otherwise my complaint would not be fairly processed

It is probably here so that people don't waste a lot of time.

 

You seem to spend a lot of time arguing with everyone.

 

 

In your employment, here, in your new course...

You might want to think about reflecting on why that is.

 

This matter is between you and the educational institution.

Look at whatever contract you may have with them.

That's all there is.

I assume this is a formal grievance? If, for expediency, they have taken out a step in the process, and your case has already been reviewed by the highest ranking authority, then any points about not following an exact documented process are pedantry. Time to let it go.
