    • How much of the documentation have you seen from when probate was obtained? And do you have a copy of the original will? I can't remember. My thought about you making the decision on your own to go with another lawyer is that three of you are meant to be beneficiaries of this will trust, aren't you? Normally you would need to act together. HB

    • Hi guys, I am about to file my defence via email as cannot log in to the claim anymore.  Can you please advise if I can paste below and if it's good to go for now, or should I add anything else in?  Thanks!  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and 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.  The Defendant is the recorded keeper of vehicle xxxx xxx.  2.  It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant - Parking Eye LTD.  3.  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 simply contracted by the landowner 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.  Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim.   4.  In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant.  5.  The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer.   6.  The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety.  It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

Hello everyone.

 

I used to be with talktalk for phone and broadband.We moved house on 3rd February of this year.

 

When I told talktalk we were moving house,they said I had to go into a new contract with them.

I asked how long it would take for the internet to be "live" in the new address,they lady on the phone said to be it would the 8th of February.So I thought that's not bad.

 

After getting to the new address I received an email telling me the go live date was march 26th !

 

After a few phone calls to them I decided to leave talktalk.

they then said I owed them money on the contract I was in,

not the new contract for moving house,

as I cancelled that within the 20 days cooling off period.

but on the old contract,

which didn't end till January 23rd 2017.

 

I received an email from talktalk telling me I owed them £257,24,

which was the amount I had to pay for leaving contract with 11 months still to go on it.

 

 

I told them I could not pay that amount in full.

so they said I could pay £50 per month till it was paid off.

I made a payment of £57.24 in april,and another payment of £50 in may

 

Today I received a letter from talktalk telling me I had to pay the £150 that's left in full within 7 days

or they would be sending it to a debt collection agency,

which would ruin my credit report etc etc,and further admin charges.

 

I explained to them I thought we had agreed on a installment plan,which they seemed not to know about !

 

if I do not pay this £150 in full,which I cant,they will send it to a dca.

I know it was because I came out of the contract,

but seems weird to me to pay them so much money for an internet service im not getting anymore.

 

Just wondering what my best course of action should be ?

 

any advice would be appreciated.

Hello.

 

Not advice as such but u think uv been had. They cannot force you or say u have to enter into another contract with them just for moving house.So in my opinion its been misold.

Also if u did owe them money you tell them how much u can reasonably afford to pay not the other way around. I would make a formal complaint to them. As for the Debt collection waffle they can do nothing to you.

 

im sure others with better knowlege will ve along soon to help.

Clowns!

 

DO NOT pay a penny more to them, you've been mugged off!

 

Lodge a formal complaint with them, and exhaust it.

 

If you're dealing with them over the phone, then STOP, only ever communicate with them in writing, or email, as you need a paper trail of evidence, I guarantee that what they say over the phone, they will never commit in writing.

 

As for their threat of sending this to a powerless DCA, I'd be rolling on the floor! If they think that should intimidate you in some way, then they're sadly mistaken.

 

TT are a joke, get making that complaint and exhaust it so you can escalate it to the ombudsman.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Thanks : ) yes im going to write to the head of complaints office ceo.

 

 

I think its disgusting that they can make the rules up as they go along,and one advisor there does not know what the other is doing.

 

 

People should not have to pay for something they are not getting.

 

 

when I asked them why it was ok for them to break the contract I was in to start a new one

 

 

then for me to have to pay for the 11 months left on the old contract,that was ok for them to break !

Ignore...deal with TT

 

Moving home with TalkTalk

 

What to do: You can arrange your home move through TalkTalk's website (http://www.talktalk.co.uk) - just make sure you have the full address of your new home, your moving date, an alternative contact number and email address, which plan you want, and the socket type, if you happen to know it. Once you're moved, you'll also need to re-register and re-activate your TV2Go and Talk2Go apps.

 

How long does it take?: TalkTalk needs at least 14 days' notice, but you can book your move up to three months in advance.

 

Cost: Free if you continue the same plan.

 

Do I need a new contract?: Yes, a new 18-month one, but you won't be charged a cancellation fee for your current plan.

We could do with some help from you.

Pity you left them then as they contracted to complete the move within 14 days...also you wouldn't have incurred the early contract cancellation fee.

Hello Again.

 

 

After sending a letter of complaint I received this e mail today.

 

 

I’m sorry you’ve had to contact us about the issue with your TalkTalk account. This clearly isn’t the kind of experience we want you to have with us, and I can imagine you’re probably feeling quite frustrated by now.

 

As a manager in the CEO's office, I’m going to take care of this for you from here. The first thing I need to do is really understand what’s happened and to do this, I’d like to speak to you and hear your point of view. Please expect a call from me in the next 24 working hours.

 

I have two numbers for you: your home number and your mobile number. If you’d prefer me to ring you on a different number, please e-mail me with this number and when you’re free to talk. If you’d rather call me, my direct line is 0333-0011-254 and if I’m not at my desk I'll endeavour to return your call as soon as possible.

 

Thanks for your patience, and I look forward to speaking to you soon so I can get this sorted for you.

 

Kind regards,

 

David Quinn

CEO Case Manager.

 

 

Do you reckon I take the call ? or request to be contacted by letter or email ?

 

 

Thanks.

a hold on them not chasing me for the money I guess.

 

 

the balance was £150,now its £160,£10 was for a late charge

he said the reduction was the £10 late charge and £40 to make it the £110.

 

 

He said £50 was the most he could deduct.

 

 

Yes I will definatley decline the offer and see what happens from then.

 

 

thanks for the advice

Hello again.

 

 

I received this email today after declining their offer.

 

 

I refer to our recent contact via phone in regards to your complaint. I would now like to confirm the outcome of my investigation and the resolution to be offered.

 

You contacted TalkTalk in relation to an outstanding balance that you agreed to pay and due to this being sent to a debt collection agency you have expressed your wish to be refunded for what you have paid and the total outstanding amount to be waived.

 

You were issued the balance due to leaving your contract before the end date of the contract. You agreed to set up a payment plan were you paid £50.00 towards the outstanding balance every month on the 4th of each month starting in the month of May. This was agreed on the 4th April. As you made a late payment in the month of May you deferred on your payment plan and the balance was passed to a debt collection agency. You have stated that due to this you want to be refunded the £107.20 you have paid and want the remaining £160.00 to be waived.

 

As a result of my investigation I would like to offer you a credit to the amount of £50.00. This would leave you with a remaining balance of £110.00. You have already had a £10.00 late payment charged waived on a previous bill. TalkTalk will not be refunding you the amount that you have paid, this is a you agreed to a payment plan and you missed the agreed date to make a payment. This is your responsibility.

 

If you do not accept this offer, we will have reached something called a deadlock situation. In that case, I will provide you with a letter confirming that we have exhausted our internal complaints process and advise you how you can take your complaint to an independent Ombudsman should you wish.

 

I hope this information provides some clarity with regards to your complaint. However, if you do have any further questions I can be contacted directly on 0333-0011-254

 

Finally, if I haven’t heard back from you within the next 10 working days, I will consider your complaint to be resolved and will close it down on our systems. However as you have already advised that you will be rejecting TalkTalk's offer, I will request you a deadlock letter immediately.

 

Kind regards

 

David Quinn

CEO Case Manager

Hi again.

 

The guy from ceo's office phoned me today.

 

and told me he looked further into my account etc.

 

He told me i was told when i put in for the home move i was told

the landline and broadband would be up and running the day we moved in

but the fibre broadband would take a month to be live.

 

which didnt happen.i got a email saying the go live date was not until march 24th

when being told broadband would be running february 8th.

 

he said like you told me they had to have it all up and running within 14 days.

he said it was no acceptable for me to wait this long.

they have waived the £160 they expected me to pay

and are refunding the £107.20 i paid them from the £257.20 they said i owed them

for the 11 months left on the old contract.

 

Thanks for all the help & advice.
