    • Speaking of the reformatory boys, here they are with all of their supporters, some of whom traveled with them from miles away, all carefully crammed together and photographed to look like there were more than about 80 .. rather like Farages last rally with even fewer people crammed around what looked like an ice cream van or mobile tea bar ... Although a number in the crowd apparently thought they were at a vintage car rally as they appeared to be chanting 'crank-her'. A vintage Bentley must be out of view.   Is this all there is? Its less than the Tory candidate. - shut up and smile while they get a camera angle that looks better

    • Now that is an interesting article which adds afew perspective that I hadn't thought significant - but on reflection of the perspectives offered ... Now Starmer is no Blair, however 'blairite he may be perceived, but the Tories aren't tories and aren't even remotely liberal   The fast 'unannounced and unexpected election call from sunack may well be explained by the opinion linked that he hoped reform would be unprepared and effectively call a chunk of Farages largely empty bluster - making him look even more of a prat, leave scope for attacks on shabby reform candidates and mimimise core vote losses to reform - while throwing the 'middle ground' (relative) tories TO THE DOGS - and with the added bonus of likely pacifying his missu' desire to jogg off to sunny cal tout suite somewhat   thumb in the air - I expect about 140ish tory seats, but can hope for under a hundred Reform - got to admit the outside possibility of 1, maybe 2 seats with about 8% of the vote - but unlikely. I think projections of over 10% of the vote for reform is nudged and paid for speculation - but possible with the expected massive drives from Russian, Chinese and far right social media bot and troll prods targeting the gullible.
    • Commentary June 2024 WWW.ELECTORALCALCULUS.CO.UK Interesting article about just how bad it could be for the Tories.  Also Tories could be hoping on Reform not having candidates in many seats, as they were not ready.  
    • Even a Piers Morgan is an improvement and a gutless Farage Piers Morgan calls for second Brexit referendum WWW.THELONDONECONOMIC.COM Piers Morgan and Nigel Farage have faced off over Brexit and a second referendum in a heated reunion on BBC Question Time.   “Why don’t we have another referendum about Brexit?” he questioned. “I seem to remember when 2016 came around we were told there was going to be control of our borders and it was going to be economically beneficial to this country. And eight years later we have lost complete control of our borders… and economically it seems to have been a wilful act of self-harm.”   ... Piers missed off : after all somebody said a 48/52 decision would be "unfinished business" by a long way - was that person just bul lying (again)

    • 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.

Just a thought but are bailiffs all subject to regular Criminal Record Checks?

 

The reason I ask is that i have just been reading an article where the local councills are starting to insist that CRB checks are done on their employees including councilors.

 

This came as a bit of a shock to me as I presumed that this would have been a requirement for any one working in the public sector especially those with access to our council taxes etc.

 

In the case of bailffs who are put in a position of power over what are sometimes vulnerable people i would have thoutht it would be a pre requisite that they had a enhanced CRB accreditation.

Any of the bailiffs on here help me out

This is what really pussies me off. A bailiff can break the law and go away in 5 mins and to undo what he has done the debtor has to chase around the system for years on end. Even then no joy in cases.

I can remember them coming to our house for a none paid store card they were sent by the court. On the little leaving card it had hand wrote that if you are not in they will come with a lock smith to gain entry. After later speaking to a solicitor they advised me that it’s a load of rubbish unless they have already listed the goods which they hadn’t. Was very upsetting at the time.

Very sloppy of the bailiff to leave evidence of such a well used and totally illegal practice that they use to scare people who arn't aware of the law.

I would have used that card as evidence to take them to the cleaners.

Have sent the following to my MP

 

Dear

 

I am a member of the consumer group CAG which petitions against unlawful penalty charges.

Please find the document I have attached which I ask you to read.

As you will see it describes in some detail the disquiet surrounding this governments new bill regarding the baillif industry and those who engage them.

Furthermore a number of constituents from different areas have written to their MP's expressing great concern that considerable powers are being invested in an industry known for it's very sharp and frequently illegal practices.

One member has received a reply via their MP from Harriet Harman which not only does not address the problems raised but it is clear that Ms Harman does not understand her governments own bill.

I particulary like the bit about bailiffs being able to seize family pets

Can see the headline now "family pet taken by bailiffs & will be disposed of unless parking ticket paid..........4 year old Samantha distraught

Has this government gone completely mad!

They appear to be being allowed to run amock.................Please do something.

Regards

Let see what happens

Bailiffs find dead couple

 

A couple were found dead in their St Helens home when bailiffs came knocking at their door, police have revealed.

 

Alan Brown, 57, was found hanging in the hallway of his semi-detatched house. His wife Joan, 56, was in a bedroom. Tests showed she died of asphyxiation.

 

It is understood that Mr Brown was a former worker at the Ravenhead Glass factory, but was made redundant in 2001.

 

RIP

Hello All,

 

Just a quick update for you all.

 

The issue with Rossendales has now been resolved on my behalf by Alison from the Bailiff Watchdog.

 

I cannot thank Alison enough and would recommend her to anyone who needs help with an industry, that although they try to justify themselves by quoting laws that they have read from a script, is blatently daylight robbery and no matter how much bf1uk or any other bailiff try's to tell me different, i will never believe a word you say again.

 

Rossendales can in my opinion now go and take a long walk on a short cliff and with some look all fall in the water.

 

The bailiff industry in this country is an absolute farce and how some of these people can sleep at night is beyond me. Why on earth should anyone bother getting any proper qualifications and get arrested for bank robbery when you can just become a bailiff, its simple, all you need to do is learn a script (b1fuk will probably comment on this using verbal rubbish).

 

Alison thank you very much for your help and i wish you and your organisation against the modern day bank robbers :) we have come to know as bailiffs :)

 

Regards

Currently Bailiffs can only enter your home without your consent if they are pursuing a criminal warrant issued by the Magistrates court or The Custom and Excise Dept in pursuit of gathering evidence of criminal proceedings. Recently they gained the right to force entry to recover fines imposed by the Magistrates court under warrant.

They also can force entry if they have a signed authority to a lien on goods provided by the householder on a previous visit.

Usually a visit of a bailiff with a warrant issued by the Magistrates court will be accompanied by a police Officer in order to prevent a breach of the peace.

 

This as far as i am aware is the situation at the moment but this all may change when the Tribunals Courts and Enforcement Bill.

This bill is currently being debated in the House of Lords and its initial draft was introduced to the HL in June 2006.

 

I and others on this thread have been in touch with the Department of constitutional affairs raising our concerns on various aspects of the new legislature.

 

Our concerns centre on the apparent disregard for the individuals rights that have existed under common law for 800 years.

 

This law if passed will give Bailiffs (renamed enforcement officers) the right to us force to enter dwellings without the owners permission.

And threaten the owner with a custodial sentence if he should physically interfere.

Amongst other atrocities it will allow enforcement officers to enlist the help of unlicensed individuals to help enforce the warrant also it gives them the righ to enforce a warrant on a public highway which means that they can stop you in the street and use reasonable force to relieve you of your possessions.

 

In a reply i received from the Department of constitutional affairs they stated that this would." stop people from evading paying there debts by simply closing there door.

 

It seems that the right to peace and security in your own home is dependant on you remaining solvent.

 

What next Debtors Prison.

From MP

 

Thank you for your email of 10 January.

As a matter of fact, I have been concerned about this question of bailiffs for some months and have had various discussions with relevant parties.

I am glad to say that my colleagues who are leading on this for the Opposition are now putting down amendments seeking to include regulation of bailiffs on a much firmer basis within this Bill.

I am absolutely persuaded that the cowboys have to be stopped from acting in the way in which they clearly are prone to act.

I hope that we shall be able to persuade the Government to change its mind. If not, then I am minded to include proposals for further regulation of bailiffs in the Conservative Policy Review which I am currently chairing.

 

Yours sincerley
