    • old and new threads merged i though you were going to send the SB letter in 2017? dx  
    • dunno you've not scanned up what you've had before how can we tell?  
    • Today , after a lot of years i received a letter from this lot. Very friendly, "Were writing to remind you that we haven't had any contact from you in a while".  The velvet fist, followed by  a veiled threat to get their preferred debt collectors involved. Yep dead right. In 1992/3 I took out a Student load under duress from DHSS. up to 2000 I had successfully gotten deferment on low income. But rather than sign on as unemployed ,I decided to be self employed. I applied and they asked for all sorts of documents. I obliged and then correspondence ceased from them, circa 2001. To date I have had no correspondence from Student Loans. I was made redundant in 2009 and reached 65 in 2012 , at which age the loan should have been cancelled. Now , today, 12 years on retirement and 11 ( at least years after last contact) I get a letter with veiled threats. Do I , as I smell a scam a) ignore it and hope that Erudio will think that this phishing attempt has failed or b) respond with a statute barred letter or c) remind them of legal terms that loan should be cancelled 12 years ago or d) combination of b) +c)

    • 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.

Honestly, what does it matter who anyone is a fan of?

 

I dare say that if the Foo Fighter's email distribution list gets leaked then I'll be on there, hell I'm pretty sure SwopShop will have my phone number somewhere too.

 

Are the Kardashian's doing any harm? No, perhaps it's better to concern ourselves more with people who openly follow far-right white supremacist groups or any radical or fundamentalist religeous views. They're the scary ones, not someone with a big bum.

I was lucky enough to have spent some time in the company of a very insightful man who'd served in WW2 as I grew up. We talked a lot but one sentence he said when I was probably about 14 years old stays with me.

 

"Beware of anyone with extreme views, they're the dangerous ones. Doesn't matter if they're an extreme florist, son; their lack of outlook makes them single minded to the exclusion of all common decency. But, when it gets really dangerous is when the normally tolerant, common man is forced to adopt those views. That's when wars happen."

 

I didn't really know what that meant then. How right he was.

 

So, if someone wants a weekly email about how big Kim's posterior is, good luck to them.

Or far left communist followers like those of Corbyn.

 

I wouldn't say Corbyn is far left - yes he's left of current political parties (even most of labour) who are to the right. He represents a part of the electorate that have felt lacking in representation, and that is everyone to the left of centre. He meets a need, just as those representing the right do.

I think we should all forget this left/right/up/down rubbish and just concentrate on what is being offered and vote for who you believe is offering the best deal for the nation which ultimately means you and me.

I agree it is about policies, but we have a divided country. Many people voted at the election out of fear. They saw the Tory posters of Miliband and Sturgeon outside No. 10. Labour lost the election, because they offered nothing different which appealed to enough people.

 

I can't see Corbyn being leader at the election,as he is too old and not supported by MP's. I think they will have another leaders election and Burnham will win.

We could do with some help from you.

OK, I agree with that, and that's what I do. I'm also happy to acknowledge a good policy by someone I usually don't agree with- but you were the one describing someone as far left communist, I just responded to that.
