    • Not prosecuting in the public interest seems to be bandied about on forums frequented by students. I don't think I've ever seen a prosecution not go ahead because of that. You would have to define why it isn't in the public interest to prosecute someone who isn't paying their way and is costing other travellers more. I can't think of a reason. HB
    • we have known for a very very long time that 9/10 the OC never knows IRRWW are chasing debtors nor  in some cases even taking money from them that the OC never ever see!! IDRWW pockets it -  free money - lets all go on a staff holiday. there was an article some years back whereby that quoted some +£4M debtors had paid to IDRWW on UAE debts that when contacted the originating banks knew nothing about....😎  
    • let the ombudsman do their job. you'll win handsdown you dont obv owe OVO p'haps anything at all.  dont worry about Past Due credit or any other DCA ( THEY ARE NOT BAILIFFS!) as for you being added to the debt, thats quite OK, you were a resident adult and equally liable under law. once you start getting things moving via the  ombudsman dont forget to get your credit files cleansed of any negative data & seek compensation for distress etc, again the  ombudsman should sort both out for you. as you are now NOT a customer of OVO, there is very very little they can do to you 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.

I do as well, but yesterday I hadnt brought enough and noticed they were free at the manned till

 

The small bags are free which you get at cashier tills, they have been charging for the normal size plastic bags at these tills for some time. You can't get the small free bags at the self service tills.

Aldi do not give out bags, never have, so you either need to take your own or buy one

If they had plain bags, then I would have no problem paying for them. Darned if I am going to be paying to do their advertising for them.

 

Not that I go shopping in Tesco or anywhere else for that matter (OH does the shopping) but we use our own bags - strangely enough, made from hundreds of carrier bags that have either been knitted or crocheted :)

Your bound to have people get to the checkout and refuse to pay for bags and just leaving the trolley load of goods and walking away..

 

Yup sadly many I spoke to today still do not understand that the retailer WILL BE FINED for giving away bags (unless raw meat etc) and even then you ar enot allowed to put anything in with the raw meat and excluded products.

That's what we do in Scotland where this has been the law for a year or two now. Everyone takes their own bag. It works just fine. At my local Sainsbury's, you can't get the disposable carrier bags at all any more - if you pay 5p you get a re-usable one that they say they'll replace when it wears out. They do advertise, though, which would be annoying but I've never actually needed to buy one.

We've been paying for our bags in Wales for a while now, never seen anyone stupid enough to do that... Just take them with you or dig deep for the 5/10p and not make a scene because someone's following legislation. It's like rolling on the floor and having a strop because someone's asked for your ID before selling you alcohol/cigarettes.

I don't understand why they have to use plastic anyway - I like the really strong recycled paper brown bags, that our farm shop uses. If you spend over a certain amount, I think it is £15.00, you don't have to pay for them.

 

If I buy dry goods, then I can re use the bags for storing potatoes and when they get too shabby I can put them in the compost heap.

They're also excellent if you've a coal / log fire. Fill the shabby bag with coal and a few firelighters and then you can put the whole thing in the grate and light the paper without getting covered in splinters/coal dust.
