    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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.

More Than & Tesco are about to shaft pet insurance customers even more than other insurers.

 

 

It's bad enough having to pay a huge excess AND a further 20% if your animal is over 8 years old,

which is what happens with Virgin & why I'm about to leave them

 

 

- now we're being forced by More Than & Tesco to treat our animals like trashed cars

 

 

- change your insurer if you're with one of them.

(I currently have 2 with More Than and am hugely disappointed because til now they were a good insurer.)

 

 

They are going to charge £200 for using the "wrong vet" :

their deals limit families to 28 approved centres in the whole of the UK,

only 2 of which are in Scotland!!!!! :mad2:

It would be deliciously ironic to use RSA's (Who own More Than & also provide the Tesco Pet Policy) own court case against them...

Sainsbury's is the worst for upping the premiums every year... mine started out at £18 five years ago and is now around £50! I've just cancelled the insurance as they have refused my claim for treatment and I can't afford to pay both the insurance premiums AND the £50+ per month for meds... I believe some vets have a system wherby they can arrange a loan for expensive treatment... sounds better than paying rip off insurers! TB

I think M&S are probably one of the worse for upping their premiums every year.

 

 

I have 2 dogs a 10 year old Goldie and a 5 year old JR. The last premium increase for the GR was about 33% it was nearly £200.00 per month. I had already reduced the level of cover to basic in order to keep the premiums down. Both dogs are what are apparently called 21st century creatures.. allergic to almost everything that a dog would come in to contact with. They both have allergy jabs every month. Whilst the GR has had one or two serious operations, looking at the bills submitted to the Insurer it still worked out that they were absolutely quids in. As she is now over 9, I would have had to pay 20% of the cost of any treatments and if she died from natural causes they would give me a £100.00 contribution to those costs !!

 

 

I have now come to an arrangement with the vet where I give them half the last insurance premium every month to take care of the jabs and I then put the rest of it in to a Credit Union savings account for her. My vet also has their own insurance which provide for discounts on all items not covered by insurance - provides their worming and flea treatments for free and also provides for 2 x free check ups each year. This can be paid yearly, quarterly or monthly and at least gives a lot of owners a basic cover for treatment.

 

 

I will keep the younger JR covered with M&S mainly because he is very active - however, if his premiums shoot up as they did for the GR then he too will have his own savings account !

 

 

I suspect with the increase of available treatments for domestic pets, insurers will either want to come out of the lifetime cover or simply not want to insure pets at all.

Yep… sounds sensible! I have cancelled my policy… I need that money to pay for my dog's treatment. I am in discussions about a vaccine… apparently there needs to be an allergy test first, although I'm not sure that's entirely true, plus it costs around £300! Do the monthly jabs work… ? Could you tell me more, please? He had a steroid injection a week ago and hasn't scratched once… Hmmmm… Off to pop him in the bath now. TB

Yes, we had the tests done first to see what they were allergic to. We thought perhaps if it was something we could avoid then they might not have to have the jabs.

 

 

JR is allergic to grass - wheat/corn - dandelion seed heads - house dust mites

GR is allergic to house dust mites - dry air caused by central heating.

 

 

The allergy jabs do work and yes the initial tests can be quite expensive - between £300 - £500. It can however take up to 2 years for the stuff to work. The vaccine can only be purchased from one place - I cant remember whether it is Holland or Germany. I will find out more detail - name of vaccine/supplier etc on Tuesday which is their next visit. I believe our vet orders a 6 month supply which comes in individual units which they store in a fridge - I think that is about £300.00. You can save money by injecting the dog yourself. I wouldn't be able to do that, so we do get charged a fee each month on top of the vaccine.

My 8 1/2 year old German Shepherd has allergies that result in horrible "hot spots" that irritate him like mad - he used to get antibiotics and steroids, but they only worked for a short period, weren't very good for him long term, and cost a fortune of course at the vet. I somewhat sceptically bought a trial pack for £14.99 of a product that was originally sold for horses who get "sweet itch - an allergy to midge bites that leaves them raw and broken skinned.) It's called Stinky Stuff and consists of a shampoo - which I haven't yet tried - a carrier oil and gunky stuff to mix with it. It cleared his hot spot in 24 hours. I kid thee not. And the bonus was, after I'd given him an hour with a muzzle on so he couldn't lick it off til it had sunk in, when I removed the muzzle he showed no signs of feeling any irritation. I'm now converted to the point that my ponies are all going to be covered in the stuff this summer too!

The vaccine is called Artuvetrin.

 

 

This link gives you a bit more information. http://www.alk-abello.com/veterinary/Veterinary/alkcontact/Pages/SectionFront.aspx

 

 

It is only available from the supplier/manufacturer in the Netherlands.

 

 

Hope this helps :)

Many thanks for the link… I shall go and have a look… The only vaccine I know about is called RESPIT… Trouble is, dogs are not just allergic to one thing only, so testing will give a rough idea of possible irritants...sounds as if we are in this for the long haul, then! TB

Yes, that is why the vaccines are individually produced. Both my dogs have 2 or 3 major allergies, with lots of minor issues.

Yes… the RESPIT one is regional, according to where you live and taking into account those allergens specific to your location, apparently…

 

 

So, do you carry on with other remedies such as steroids, shampoos, etc., alongside the vaccines? Otherwise, if they take 2 years to have effect, the dog would be scratching itself to ribbons in the meantime... TB

We carried on with the steroids only when the rash started up - we had a spray - cortavance and a special shampoo. One thing I did find effective was to wash their feet after walking them on grass - especially if it had just been cut. That way they didn't carry the grass seed / cuttings to their fur when they did scratch. Also brushing after their walk helped. I still do this.

Ha… Bertie is always covered in mud when he gets home… he likes to roll in fox poo, too if I don't stop him in time… so it's usually a bath rather than brushing… I really don't think it's connected to grass as it's worse in winter… I really believe it's a dust mite thing, which of course, no amount of feet washing will help as the stuff is in the home all the time…it would be interesting to find out, though, but I am worried about the ongoing costs, what with continuing with the current treatment as well as the vaccine… I have an extremely low income… I am going without as it is, just so he can receive his meds and worming, etc… :-( TB

Indorex Spray - It is a control for both house dust mites and fleas The directions are that you spray on bedding, carpets and soft furnishings - although I only spray it round the skirting board areas. Pets shouldn't be in the room when you spray and you need to ventilate the room after spraying for about an hour.

It's a great tip, I hose my dog off after being on grass especially during summer (seed season). If it makes a difference it's pretty good evidence of sensitivity and a sensible next step is to choose grain free food.

I have no carpets or curtains and the sofas are leather… the only soft furnishings are some feather cushions which I put in the freezer over night… the floor is hoovered and damp mopped… I don't like chemical sprays and try not to use household chemicals as much as possible. their bedding is Three Peaks with hypo allergenic covers and I drape a boiled sheet over other sleeping areas…I am really trying hard to sort this out… but some dogs just itch, whatever you do… I have a friend who swears by putting rock sulphur in the water, but I thought dogs were sensitive to sulphur… Hmmm… trial and error, I suppose.

It would appear there is no effective treatment produced in the UK :(

This one uses natural remedies to get rid of spider mites, but would appear to be just for plants !
