    • I did call the police both in the UK and in my country but both of them said no way to get the money back now. I tried my best not panic but it indeed influenced my life in many ways, the only thing I could do is start therapies. It happened around February- March, so I started to do this shoplifting thing to cover my rent and everything from the end of March, it’s been a month now… today it my first time to get caught. I know it’s very very bad, I seriously didn’t want to do this at all. But luckily I just saw an message from HR, they asked me to have an online interview next week. I’ll stop this behaviour and wish my messed up life back to normal soon 
    • did you contact your bank about the fraud? contact the police , action fraud anyone in authority? have you done anything about it? when did it happen? dx  
    • You may have noticed that we have gone to the trouble of restructuring your posts to make them readable. I had to do it twice now.  My site team colleague has done it once. Posting long blocks of text make it very difficult for people to read especially using telephones. It discourages people who might want to help you. Please can you make your posts properly spaced and punctuated. Thank you
    • Thank you, I was been told that it’s a serious crime if I shoplifted above £200, (this time £500, I gave the thing back+ last time probably also around £500 which I didn’t give back).. and I admitted to them that I sold those things at very low price to pay for food and stuff.   That’s why I was worried..as it wasn’t my first time.. I also did it in John Lewis in the city I live, but when they asked me I said I didn’t steal things from it as I don’t wanna get caught in my city. But I don’t know when they upload my pics in the system will they recognise me and think of me a professional shoplifter than against me… so what happened about the fraud was that what there was a phone call told me that my visa has problems etc due to I helped bad people do money laundering etc. I said I didn’t then they tried to ‘control’ me and many things happened to make me believe what they said… as soon as I gave them the bank details I lost all the money in it.

    • 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.

All of it, including the £3/4 million to not ask the people who worked there and reported it? - The license payer of course.

There are enough people who have made claims, and worked there, yet appear to be totally absent from the report.

 

I think the BBC is a great idea, but its way past time the incumbent **** at the top were all fired and prosecuted.

Lets not wait until they die - get them now.

It seems the main thought is, he was being protected because he had info on others. He may have threatened to spill the beans if they prosecuted him back then. This man took very young girls to night clubs so many in the industry would have known what was going on.

Clearly still is being protected - or at least all those others who MUST have been actively involved.

House of cards.

Its a tragic story, but I think that one is smoke and mirrors to stop people looking at the reports from staff of the time who have repeatedly claimed they reported events and were told to shut up.

it does seem (obvious) that those at the 'top' knew what was going on?

compare the 'costs' re the damages paid out to 36 victims; £526K. £5.4m for reed smith. shame.
