Laptops sent to schools for pupils who don't have a computer may have malware on them, as some schools are finding. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/jan/21/malware-reportedly-found-laptops-children-england Jolyon Maugham is also investigating the price paid to Computacenter, owned by a Tory donor, which appears to be too high. Some of the laptops have arrived without the sound facility which means children can't participate properly. -

I find it difficult to imagine that they actually want to "repossess" the property. Presumably there is nothing in the lease which says that service charge debts are automatically secured on the property. You haven't told us anything about the value of the property as opposed to the value of the service charge which is being sought. To a certain extent it's outside my experience – but it seems to me that this would fall under the heading of an ordinary debt. Of course if they obtained a County Court judgement, then they might eventually be able to enforce it against your assets – one of which would be the holiday home. So I think you ought to give us a bit more detail and also post up the claim form in PDF format please -

Government officials are advising UK companies to set up shop in Europe to avoid problems with red tape and taxes. Unbelievable. Was Brexit meant to create jobs in Europe? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/23/brexit-hit-firms-advised-government-officials-set-up-shop-in-eu -

Post in Court Claim Against Hermes - item sent via Packlink was lost/tampered with **WON**
jj58 posted a post in a topic,
Hi @BankFodder
Sorry for only updating you now, but after your guidance with submitting the claim it was pretty straight forward and I didn't want to unnecessarily waste your time. Especially with this guide you wrote here, so many thanks for that
So I issued the claim on day 15 and they requested more time to respond.
They took until the last day to respond and denied the claim, unsurprisingly saying my contract was with Packlink and not with them.
I opted for mediation, and it played out very similarly to other people's experiences.
In the first call I outlined my case, and I referred to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 as the reason to why I do in fact have a contract with them.
In the second call the mediator came back with an offer of the full amount of the phone and postage £146.93, but not the court costs. I said I was not willing to accept this and the mediator came across as a bit irritated that I would not accept this and said I should be flexible. I insisted that the law was on my side and I was willing to take them to court. The mediator went back to Hermes with what I said.
In the third call the mediator said that they would offer the full amount. However, he said that Hermes still thought that I should have taken the case against Packlink instead, and that they would try to recover the court costs themselves from Packlink.
To be fair to them, if Packlink wasn't based in Spain I would've made the claim against them instead. But since they are overseas and the law lets me take action against Hermes directly, it's the best way of trying to recover the money.
So this is a great win. Thank you so much for your help and all of the resources available on this site. It has helped me so much especially as someone who does not know anything about making money claims.
Many thanks, stay safe and have a good Christmas!
