    • In my experience (not with car payments) but with many other things, my partner has been ill and signed off in the past and we have been unable to meet various commitments.  Naturally if you ring the call centre they are going to fob you off and tell you you must pay, that's why that never ever works. I would obtain a note from her GP listing all her health issues plus medications plus side effects, then write to the finance company with a copy of it, explaining the situation, as you have here, asking for a payment holiday. Perhaps mention that the car is very much needed for hospital appointments etc. It's likely the finance company would rather you pay till term end than, chase you for money they will never see, and sell the car at auction for a loss,  You can search some of my threads going back years, advising people to do this for Council Tax, Tax Credits, HMRC, Even a solicitors company and it always works, because contrary to popular belief people are reasonable.
    • Sorry, I haven't ever seen one of these agreements. Read it all and look out for anything that says when she can withdraw and when she is committed to go ahead. If it isn't clear she may need to call the housing provider and simply say what you posted here, she doesn't want to go ahead and how does she withdraw her swap application?
    • Thank you! Your head is like a power bank of knowledge.  Her health issues are short term, due to a relationship breakdown she took it pretty hard and has been signed off work on medication for 3 months. She only started her job in February 24 so does not qualify for any occupational sick benefits, which is where the ssp only comes in. (You will see me posting a few things over the coming days, whilst I try and sort some things for her)  I sat with her last night relaying all this back and she does want to work out a plan, she was ready to propose £100 for the next 3 months and then an additional £70 per month onto of her contractual to "catch up" but Money247 rejecting the payment holiday and demanding £200 thew her, which is why I came on here.   
    • I've looked at your case specifically more.   Term 8bii reads " when, in accordance with instructions from the Customer or the Consignee, the Consignment is left in a safe place" Their terms choose to not define safe, so they are put to proof that the location is safe. If your property opens onto a street its a simple thing of putting a google earth image and pointing out that its not a safe place

    • 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.

ok without starting a flame war , i will attempt to show my point of view . as for donald trump there are areas where the police won't except mob handed despite what there politically correct bosses said , there were area when i worked up in london in the 90's .

 

As for fury i don't agree with what we said but we live in a democracy that means one of the costs of this is allowing a view that will be different to yours .

As for the partition i always find it said when sports gets tainted by politics .

I think Donald Trump could be creating hatred, yes. Of course his idea is ludicrous and unworkable.

 

I haven't read much about Fury, he sounds like an idiot. IMO.

 

HB

 

Apparently he caused quite an outrage when he said of Jessica Ennis-Hill

 

“That’s the runner, isn’t it? She’s good, she’s won quite a few medals, she slaps up good as well,” Fury replied when asked about Ennis-Hill. “When she’s got a dress on she looks quite fit.”

 

Fury is also asked about his attitude to female boxers: “I’m all for it. I’m not sexist,” he said. “I believe a woman’s best place is in the kitchen and on her back. That’s my personal belief. Making me a good cup of tea, that’s what I believe.”

I think its difficult in sport and being famous in general

 

Sports personalities are role models especially for the younger generation.

 

If you are famous, then you have a greater responsibility.

 

Having an opinion isnt illegal. BUT like everything freedom of speech has consequences and *IF* expressing that right causes other criminal actions to happen or breaks another law then the consequences must happen.

My daughter as very strong veiws on recent evenrs i.e bommbing ISIS etc and is very anti war. My wife and daughter became very involved in a heated debate on various issues! At one one point my wife stated "Your Dad fought in the Army" At that point I stated that one of the reasons I joined was to allow my daughter to state her views.

 

My point is that freedom of speech is just that. You may not like it, in fact in may disgust you depending on the issue but to ban an individual or group to impose censorship to opinion is the road to dictatorship.

Does the whole question come down to

 

free speech = you can say whatever you like, whenever you like, wherever you like and however you like, or

free speech = you can say whatever you like, etc, but you are responsible for the consequences

Well Trump is dangerous because he may become powerful enough to bring some of his hateful ideas to fruition. Him I'd worry about. Fury is someone who isn't too bright and hits/gets hit for a living, he won't change the world. I think it's a waste of time and effort to take anything he says seriously.

I dunno. I mean, nobody is threatening to arrest Trump. His freedom of speech is not infringed simply because other people, in response to said speech, call him an odious bloviating oaf. You get free speech. You don't get consequence-free speech.

Why give Trump help by banning him. There are republican parts of America that do not like the UK very much or do not like anyone that is different to them.

 

Trump has a massive ego and is pretty dangerous to the world. But let him have as much free speech as he likes, as the more he talks, the less likely he will become President.

We could do with some help from you.

I understand your point but there's a fine line between freedom of speech and causing distress and alarm or inciting hate crimes. In my view likening being gay with peodophilia (Fury) goes over that line. Saying that, what Fury has said is so pathetic it just makes me laugh. I just can't take him seriously. He reminds me of a 15 year old being drunk for the first time and spouting nonsense.

Freedom of speech doesn't really exist because if I ask: "Do we have freedom of speech?"

The answer won't be: "Yes"

It will be: "Yes, as long as..."

 

That is the point of course, take for example same sex relationships, some people who believe in the bible might say this this wrong, should they not be allowed to express there opinion without being accused of being homophobic ?

Yes.

Today's society finds everything offensive and we have to be very careful at what we say and do, especially at work.

Last month was called in the office because I had watched offensive videos on the company laptop IN MY OWN TIME.

The offensive videos were fishing videos in which the large fish gets chopped up and cooked.

Who the hell reported that as offensive???

I agree, what happens if I am offended because someone else is offended ?

Whilst there are truly offensive people on the planet today - Trump for example... I do think a lot of people are very quick to take offence when none is meant.
