    • Hi everyone, I have an update on my case that I’d like to share with you all.  so after submitting 371 pages in my bundle, a witness statement and skeleton argument for my court case due to take place in Manchester on June 21st I got an email from my litigator stating that hmrc have pulled out and the case is now closed!    this is the body of the letter….. This letter, which is copied to the Appellant, pursuant to Rule 17 of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Tax Chamber) Rules 2009, the Respondents gives notice to the Tribunal of their intention to not defend the above appeal.   The Respondents respectfully invite the Tribunal to allow the appeal and close its file. In lieu of the above the Respondents would respectfully ask the Tribunal to vacate the hearing scheduled for Friday 21 June 2024. We would accordingly invite the Tribunal to close its file. Obviously this is extremely good news which hasn’t sunk in that after 3 years of fighting it is over.    I do have a further fight on my hands in that the Group Action I had joined with Independent Tax that had been disbanded in November last year and I chose not to continue with them. They are trying to bill me over 5k for the work they did under that Group Action which is ludicrous bearing in mind the whole point in joining was that it would keep the cost to a minimum as it would be shared between us all. They had asked if I wanted to continue to have them represent me on an individual level which I declined, if I hadn’t, goodness knows what they would have been trying to charge me now.

    • 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.

Morning techies.

 

I am in the process of obtaining a grant to purchase a computer for the use in a communal lounge of the sheltered accommodation I live in.

 

The PC will be used by the residents (after some basic training) to do online shopping, skype and various email plus other stuff.

 

The problem I have is that although there is a phone line in the lounge, this is connected to the wardens office and they already have BT as their ISP.

 

The only other provider (that I have found-so far)that does not require you to take their phone line is Plusnet

 

Can two ISPs share the same line?

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

No.

 

One ISP per phone line ...

 

Another reason is you can only have 1 tag per phone line

Could you get the grant to include say a phone line for ADSL only, and a year or so access? Maybe someone like Sky with unlimited BB and line rental. Plusnet are part of BT btw

 

Is the complex run by a Registered Social landlord? If so they should help under tenant/Resident involvement, and supply a computer. Worth a try, as don't ask don't get.

We could do with some help from you.

I could include in the grant application the cost of installing a new line but I can't get funds for ongoing costs (broadband)

 

I think I will put this on hold for 2 to 3 months as when I attended a residents forum meeting a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned the compute thing and I was informed the the council are considering installing wi-fi in all the sheltered accommodations and possibly in residential too.

 

During the discussions, the council rep made a suggestion that my court be used as a trial to see how much use the wi fi would get (loads in my case) The wi fi aspect was being mooted as a incentive for older people to live in this sort of place as there is some sheltered homes that are under used (not this one BTW).

 

I meet so many people here who have families abroad who receive the occasional letter or phone call as they can no longer travel due to health issues. The ability to 'see' the relatives would help immensely in reducing lonliness which is a major detriment to health, both physical and mental.

It would be a real life changer if they can use Skype with a headset and webcam.

cheapest solution I can think of is a cheap android phone on the Three network with their £12.90 per month sim only plan with all you can eat data. Make the phone a wifi hotspot and it would act like a home broadband if the coverage was good enough...

I would also consider the option of writing to the CEO of some of the ISPs explaining what your looking for, what would they recommend, cost involved and importantly exactly why you are setting this up for the benefit of the sheltered housing community with vulnerable tenants or even if they would sponsor say the line rental, installation etc.

Might be worth approaching BT who supply the office

Some very good points there. BT is a good idea which I will examine

 

Three have a very poor signal round here and rarely works indoors.

 

I did think about getting a wi-fi repeater so that my unlimited internet would reach the lounge but after a little research, extenders are not that good and the fact that the signal would have to travel through 4 walls

 

I will be emailing my housinfg officer (who is helping me with the grant app) to see if she can get something definite from the money holders as to the installation of the communal wi fi in the near future.

 

Now is an ideal time to do it as later this summer, we are having the old communal gas boiler removed and replaced with a biomass one with the addition of new pipes to each flat. An ideal time for fitters to get in and run the cabling required.

Just this week I brought an extender for my sons TV as the wifi signal is weak and not quite strong enough for Netflix in HD. It plugs in at the top of the stairs and has given the TV full bars signal and streams HD Netflix fine. Cost £25 from Amazon, it's like having a second wireless router upstairs. Can't fault it.

Can you tell me which one? At that price, I would buy it and donate it. If it didn't reach then I could flog it on again through a different site

2 ISP's can be done on one line but unless youre a high end corporation, you couldn't afford it. And if you are a high level corp, youd just lease a direct connection to the backbone instead and have all the tech that come siwth it to ensure a strong connection no matter where you are in a building.

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..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

This one - http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-TL-WA850RE-Universal-Extender-Configuration/dp/B00AHXXJVW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403692028&sr=8-1&keywords=wa850re

 

There is a cheaper one that's half the speed. It all depends on how many devices you will use. My home wi-fi is 300mbps and I have a media server to accommodate which is why I went for that one but if you want it for just 1 laptop then go for the cheaper option - http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-TL-WA750RE-Universal-Extender-Configuration/dp/B00CEB53JQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403692159&sr=8-1&keywords=wa750re

 

If it's no good just return it to Amazon, they even pay to return!

 

If you need help setting it up let me know.
