    • Same as Barclays one I have just updated on. PRA group have written back and told me they intend to proceed with claim, have also sent another stack of documents, similar to last time round. I did fill in an online income breakdown etc on their website  offering to pay them x amount of money back each month,  a couple of weeks back, they haven't acknowledged that ?  
    • Hello, I wasn't able to update the defence, so they got the daft one.  Pra Group have responded dated 25th April saying they intend to proceed with claim. I have also received a stack of documents, similar to last time - print outs of old statements, but this time around they have send me a copy of the Barclay Card Conditions. Unsigned and dated. The address is an old address.  A consumer credit agreement with current address. Pages of it and no signature. I have uploaded onto a PDF what I have. The CCA agreement looks like a generic print out, I5 pages + long, I've included the 1st page that had my details on (redacted) don't know if its necessary to upload all of it.  Barclays 26042024.pdf
    • I suggested consideration of bankruptcy some years ago. It was not well received.
    • That is a superb WS. However, I have a few tweaks to suggest. In (2) "indicating" not "indication". I think to be consistent with your numbering, in (6) the Beavis case should be EXHIBIT 2. Do you really need to include over 100 pages of Beavis?  I think that would be likely to annoy the judge.  Just try and find the bit where they decide it was not a penalty due to having an interest in limiting the time that vehicles can stay. I'll have a look myself for this bit later as it's highly likely to be in WSs from PPCs who think that that paragraph means all their charges are valid always on every occasion. After your current (7) add this.  It's always useful to refer to a judgment when making a legal point - 8.  In the case PCM vs Bull, Claim No. B4GF26K6, where the Defendant was issued parking tickets for parking on private roads with signage stating “No parking at any time”, District Judge Glen in his final statement mentioned that: “the notice was prohibitive and didn’t communicate any offer of parking and that landowners may have claim in trespass, but that was not under consideration”.   In (14) if my maths are right the CPR request should be "EXHIBIT 3".  it is missing from your list of exhibits. In (16) the two figures should be £100 and £170.  They are entitled to increase fro,m £60 to £100, they are not entitled to increase to £170.  To make it clear for the judge I would write - 16. The Claimant has artificially inflated their claim for a £100 invoice to £170. This is simply a poor attempt to circumvent the legal costs cap at small claims. 17. The Claimant has also invented a second fictitious charge, for legal representative's costs, when they have no legal representative. You also need ot number your exhibits. The rest is excellent - well done.

    • 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 am currently running windows 8.1 on my laptop, however a pop up window keeps

appearing saying that my pc is scheduled to upgrade to windows 10 on Saturday 12th March.

Despite the fact that I clicked cancel to cancel the upgrade, another window opened advising me to "upgrade now" or "upgrade later", and does not appear to have cancelled the upgrade.

What do I do ??

It's silly to cancel the upgrade to Windows 10, it is the most secure yet and it is free. Windows 8 is not supported by Microsoft except for security updates and soon will there will be no support at all and Windows 7 is nearing it's support life.

 

If you don't get Windows 10 now while it's free, and you wish to upgrade when the others are debunked you will either have to fork out a few hundred or make a permanent subscription.

How can you say it is the most secure when it hasn't even been around for a year yet?

 

It will continue to be free for much longer than they say, they are desperate to get people to move to it.

I dont get why people dont like win 10. Its sleeker, faster, more secure, more stable, more compatibility. It seems the ONLY peopel that have an issue are the ones using 10 year old tech where mobo compontents arent supported, and even the manufacturer of the hardware itself gave up support years ago.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

You can even install it, and use something like classic shell to get the old start menu back. Couple of other good programs out there to modified notifications etc, and youll never even know you changed versions apart from how better your system runs overall

I work in IT, so many of our clients have automatically updated to Windows 10. Our work load has doubled with software not working, drivers not installing, WiFi / sound not working, a few have not been able to log back in after the upgrade.

 

We not have to bodge windows in order to prevent this upgrade, which only lasts a few weeks before it is trying to do it again.

 

Last week I had to perform 7 downgrades.

 

I did install this on my Dell laptop which is 2 years old, WiFi stopped working completely, after reinstalling drivers, it now barely works with constant drops in connectivity. Office 2016 and Windows 10 currently have a bug which makes it difficult to write emails, several of our clients have this bug.

If you work in IT you should have contacted the hardware manufacturers in advance for any software you'll need as almost all of them protest it for months on the dev builds ms release. And as for software, unless it is a specialised piece of kit, the developers usually do the same. The specialised ones will likely charge you as they provide software just for your company. All this usually happens months before the op even hits an actually release build or date

In Windows 10 there is a setting that if you are on a battery laptop the wifi is turned OFF as an 'energy saving' feature. This is dead simple to disable.

 

Windows 10 saved an older laptop from going to the local tip, it made it run far faster and solved a lot of the mismatched drivers problems the laptop kept having.

Yes spoke with Lenovo and HP and both said 'should work, but we can't guarantee it'.

 

The specialised software has only just became compatible with Office 2013. It is not compatible with Windows 10 for sure as we deal with them often. Thats why we have to try and prevent the upgrade which doesn't always work.

I'm sure I could have got it running on Windows 7 just as well.

Prefer Ubuntu Studio myself, too much spyware and phoning home to Redmond in Win 10, in fact the telemetry and tracking included in can cause breaches of legal compliances regarding data security for Corporate user.

Done that, set keyboard to UK English as well, set as default, still not working.

 

Really hate the forced updates, I turn my laptop on some mornings to find I can't use it for 40 minutes while it updates. I want to restart it now, but only given @Update and Restart@, @Update and Shutdown@ (Note the stupid US layout!) Brilliant OS!

Not an old laptop. And old hardware doesn't cause boot errors. This is purely a logical issue.. Not to mention, Windows upgraded to Windows 10 on this laptop, if it was 'ancient', then it shouldn't have done it!

 

Windows 10 is a pile of s***
