    • We used to recommend that people accept mediation but our advice is change. The mediation process is unclear. Before you can embark on it you have to agree that you are prepared to enter a compromise – and that means that you agree that you are prepared to give up some of your rights even though you are completely in the right and you are entitled to hundred percent of your money and even though EVRi are simply trying to obstruct you in order to discourage you and also to put others who might want to follow your example off from claiming even though they have a legitimate basis for reimbursement. Mediation is not transparent. In addition to having to sign up that you are prepared to give up some of your rights, you will also have to agree not to reveal any details of the mediation – including the result of the mediation – so that the whole thing is kept secret. This is not open justice. Mediation has nothing to do with justice. The only way of getting justice is to make sure that this matter goes to trial unless EVRi or the other parcel delivery companies put their hands up and accept the responsibility even if they do it is a gesture of goodwill. Going to trial and winning at trial produces a judgement which we can then add to our small collection to assist other people who are in a similar boat. EVRi had been reading you around by the nose since at least January – and probably last year as well – and their whole purpose is simply to drag it out, to place obstacles in your way, to deter other people, and to make you wish that you'd never started the process and that you are prepared to give up your 300 quid. You shouldn't stand for it. You should take control. EVRi would prefer that you went to mediation and if nothing else that is one excellent reason why you should decline mediation and go to court. On mediation form you should sign that you are not prepared to compromise and that you are not prepared to keep the result secret but that you want to share the results with other people in similar circumstances. This means that the mediation won't go ahead. It will take slightly longer and you will have to pay a court fee that you will get that back when you win and you will have much greater satisfaction. Also, once you go the whole process, you will learn even more about bringing a small claim in the County Court so that if this kind of thing happens again you will know what to do and you will go ahead without any hesitation. Finally, if you call EVRi bluff and refuse mediation and go to trial, there is a chance – maybe not a big chance – but there is a chance that they will agree to pay out your claim before trial simply in order to avoid a judgement. Another judgement against them will simply hurt the position even more and they really don't want this. 300 quid plus your costs is peanuts to them. They don't care about it. They will set it off against tax so the taxpayer will make their contribution. It's all about maintaining their business model of not being liable for anything, and limiting or excluding liability contrary to section 57 and section 72 of the consumer rights act.  
    • Nice to hear a positive story about a company on this form for a change. Thank you
    • too true HB, but those two I referred for starters - appear to be self admitted - One to excuse other lockdown law breaking, by claiming his estate away from his consistency and London abode was his main home the other if he claims to have 'not told the truth' in his own words via that quote - to have mislead his investors rather than broken lobbying rules   - seem to be slam dunks - pick which was your law breaking - it seems to be both and much more besides in Jenricks case Starmer was director of public prosecutions yet the tories are using seemingly baseless allegations for propaganda and starmer is missing pressing apparent blatant criminality in politics
    • I am sure the resident experts will give you a comprehensive guide to your rights.  The responsibility lies with the retailer. I have dealt with Cotswold before for similar. And found them refreshingly helpful.   Even when I lost the receipt for one item I had bought in Inverness. The manager in Newcastle called the store. Found the transaction and gave me a full refund.

    • 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.

Care to describe Corbyns Brexit policy then

 

To my understanding of his cagey statements,

 

Its a  Corbyn negotiated Remain - which is NOT remain

or a Corbyn negotiated Leave - which is either similar to May/Johnson or no deal hard brexit if he tries the fantasy ruote we've benn going around on for 3 years,.

 

With whatever options he chooses to present, presented to the people

- which are indicated as Corbyns Leave or Corbyns Remain

 

I don't see him presenting simple Remain as an option - in fact he is specifically NOT saying that will be an option.

 

 

 

I think you're fixating a bit too much on the detail of specifically Corbyn's brexit strategy.  I know that's an odd thing to say considering I queried the detail in that piece from the independent.  However, if I can explain; I don't believe it matters at all what anyone says they're going to do at this stage.  Hypothetically speaking, if Labour do win a majority, I would expect them to go back to the EU and look to renegotiate the May/Boris withdrawal agreement in order to put it back to the people in a referendum.  What we would then see is yet another presentation of a "deal" that is supposedly substantially different to what we have seen previously.  In reality it would be the same as before, just with a few paragraphs moved about or removed entirely.  I've heard some Labour Mp's talk about a closer customs union, which at this stage is also nonsense because what sort of relationship we have with the EU would be defined after the withdrawal agreement has been ratified - Making noise about closer customs arrangements now is purely to give the notion that what Labour would do would be substantially different.  So I am in no way blind to the politics going on.

 

In terms of Corbyn being referred to as Stalin .. I would suggest that although our democracy desperately needs reform, the good thing is that we do have fail-safes to tamper any extremities.  If it weren't for the courts, the Tory's would have had us out by now, and they would have had us knee deep in goods from other markets like the US, and they would have stripped back regulation etc

 

I do also think there's some naivety to this whole debate though because all politicians can't exactly be completely honest all of the time.  First past the post encourages them to be dishonest because they have to appeal to the greater number of voters if they want to win, which inevitably means they have to superglue themselves to the fence and tell people certain things they want to hear.  They'll no doubt be some people that are Socialist, and don't know they're socialist, but still vote Tory.  They may have also voted leave.  There's so many different types of people that someone like Corbyn has to appeal to that it's impossible to meet all the expectations.  But at least with Corbyn, you need to be detective to get some inkling as to whether he's being deceptive.  Johnson just does it in the open.

 

So, I would say, just put all the ill feeling toward Corbyn to one side and vote for the best way to stop this madness.  We can deal with his policies later down the line.  He says a lot of things that I agree with in terms of re-nationalisation because privatisation has been a disaster.  But I'm not naive enough to believe he can just wave a magic wand... re-nationalisation will cost an absolute fortune, and some of the rail contracts aren't up for a while yet.

 

Also, in all honesty I expect another hung parliament anyway, and hopefully the numbers will fall on Corbyn's side.  If there's another coalition I can see another election taking place in two years.  Of course, if the electorate return a Tory majority we're all stuffed, which is where the focus should lie.  The Tory party want disgruntled Labour voters such as yourself to not vote for Labour.

The argument there is that Johnson does it to give supporters an excuse  .....

Corbyn does it more craftily to actually deceive

 

In either case, both are simply wrong IMO, aand is specifically NOT how Corbyn presented himself

 

 

You could argue that Johnson does it - and I would answer yes, and I wouldn't vote for him either.

I found it difficult to maintain a semblance of politeness to your increased use of that sort of statement.

so I'll just say that 'and Corbyn supporters want remainers to vote for a Brexiter, without whom (ie with a real labour leader) Brexit would likely have been revoked by now.

I probably would vote Labour - just not Corbyn

 

 

 

Its been widely reported via reputable outlets that the Labour movement moved to Remain, and Corbyn frustrated that - and we can see he still is.

Simple observable fact.

- you chose to try to dismiss that - but the evidence we see clearly supports the reporting

 

Unlike your hypothesis/opinion which flies in the face of events - just like many of the Brexit arguments have and do.

 

 

Corbyn is one of the main problems - He is NOT a solution.

Too right he will be greatly missed - and undoubtedly make the decision for many moderates 0 as is also occurring in the Tory Party.

.. but I do think Ian Austins suggestion that Labour voters vote for Johnson is crazy, although I had a touch of that crazyness for a spell myself,

 

If it was a choice between just Johnson or Corbyn - I would struggle and probably not vote - but it isn't,

and I don't want either of Johnson or Corbyn in no 10 or leading a major UK party.

 

 

Why would i struggle as Johnson seems to clearly be the greater evil to anyone with a brain and a conscience?

Because Corbyn is trying greatly reducing our options to far right or far left and is just a slightly lessor evil IMO and he is ending the Labour party as a real option for moderates - unforgivable.

 

.. and politics being a circle - those extremes are only a fag paper apart in my opinion in real world situations as seen by normal folk.

It was thought that Gimson was included as a ‘paper candidate’. "

I am really not sure that sort of comment is either helpful or true. 

 

I do have some concerns about Momentum, it seems they have caused problems in selecting people who may have been good candidates and as for the areas that have no candidate in place it is criminal neglect but I am not sure who exactly to blame.

Why would that NOT be the leader?

 

One of Tom Watsons moderate Labour Friends has also been 'not chosen' (getting around the risk/certainty of his local party reselecting him) for 'voting against the whip 3 times' hasn't he?

How rich is that from Corbyn - over 500 times he defied the whip wasn't it?

 

.. but of course that was when Labour was a broad church tolerant of different perspectives ... and not an intolerant radical left clique

 

Labour - it certainly aint.

I am saying that local parties have been slow in finding candidates. My area is ripe for the taking with the sitting Brexit MP standing down. He has a large majority but has been here for 30 years and IS a good local MP. I know he intervened on my behalf several years ago with the DWP and they wrote off over £1000 they has wrongly paid me over the course of a year. It was an amount I genuinely believed I was entitled to and I had kept the DWP up to date on my status. They had failed to act and a charity had assured me I was entitled to the money.

 

If he did that for me I am sure he will have done things for other people so will lose that good will

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Then corbyn should be spending less time deselecting and disheartening good MP's shouldn't he?

Everyone knows that was what he wanted to do when he reduced the votes needed to 1/3rd

- and thats what Corbyns 'replacement candidates are getting isn't it - 1/3rd - or less

" I’m absolutely delighted that the members of Hull North put their confidence in me as they did in 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2017,” she told HullLive. “I always knew that members would back me”. "

"Momentum-backed local councillor Aneesa Akbar unsuccessfully attempted to replace her as the party’s candidate for the seat after a third of local party branches voted in favour of a full selection process.

LabourList reported that it understood Johnson had secured 292 votes out of almost 400 cast, including more than 200 postal votes, while Akbar received 101 votes."

Well I kind of think that being forced to stand for re selection is in principle no bad thing. It will get rid of lazy incumbents who are neither good constituency MPs or good parliamentarians. Remember it is onluy 1/3 to trigger the re selection process.  

 

The problem is of course the way the Labour (and Conservative) parties are made up of activists. By their very nature activists tend to be at the extremes of the ideologies. In labours case currently more left, in the Tories verging on the far right - these are often older middle class seekers of empire , well at least in the Shires it is. 

 

I am delighted that the MP for Birmingham Hall Green has been deselected although I hope this won't let the Tories back in (unlikely considering the majority an the fact JLR have been a central employer heavily impacted by Brexit.  

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Nothing like taking a quote out of context is there so you can bash Corbyn. Do you not see that by bashing him all the time, you may help the Tories actually get in . Not every constituency have realistic alternatives to the Con/labour dichotomy.

Taking it out of YOUR desired context perhaps .... But answer me this - in what way is my response inaccurate?

 

'bashing him all the time?

In what way is my statements on him not only accurate, but supported by his teams declarations and actions, and actual reports even on labourlist?

- he's bashing himself - and us - just like Johnson is when you examine eithers claims critically - as we should with politicians

 

 

and my 'bashing' may entirely unintended help another deceitful Brexiter to get in ... BUT ONLY if people believe the deceit that the only option is Corbyn or Johnson

... BUT that isn't the case is it?

 

and my posts are actually intended to:

A: Show some honesty in challenging supporters of people like Johnson and Corbyn, neither of whom seem fit to run a pub in my opinion, let alone a country in turmoil

B: Show that NOT voting for Brexiter Corbyn does not necessarily mean you are supporting Brexiter Johnson

- there are other parties you know, and ones who unequivocally support Remain

- Parties which will hopefully show both Johnson and Corbyn how to do it

 

 

- at least theres a chance they can if voters aren't trapped by the lie that voting against Corbyn is a vote for Johnson ... and vice versa

IT ISN'T

 

 

Brexiters should question Johnsons intents in the same way

After all Johnson was and is a Remainer at heart as he has always stated prior to it being in his interests to support it ... with outright lies

Lets put it in another way

 

Johnson is a life long remainer, Father of Lies, is claiming to be the champion of something he has never believed in, is undoubtedly only in it for personal political advantage, clearly seems to intend to pursue actions which will make any close arrangements with the EU IMPOSSIBLE despite claiming that is not what he is doing

Sold Brexit on the Basis that he will fill in the detail later ... and thats what you voted for.

Vote now .. he'll fill in the detail later .. and thats what you voted for.

 

 

so the ONLY thing we can be sure of that he will do is:

* Whatever he is forced to do despite his best efforts - legal or otherwise

* Whatever is in his own interests (and I seriously question that any form of Hard Brexit is, if he actually got elected without needing Brexit Party 'support)

 

 

 

Corbyn a life long eurosceptic, who does whatever he likes, defied the Labour whip endlessly - but uses it himself as an excuse to deselect good MP's voted in by the public, clearly thinks what he applies to the Tories doesn't apply to him ... promotes intended actions in a way which will make any close arrangements with the EU IMPOSSIBLE despite claiming that is not what he is doing - AND despite those intentions not needing to be that way ...

... and mumbles something about negotiating, and maybe offering something in a referendum .... which he will tell us about later after we've voted him in.

Vote now .. he'll fill in the detail later .. and thats what you voted for.

 

 

Sound about right?

Any of that you can realistically dispute?

 

 

You simply Can't trust a Brexiter ... or Boris Johnson

You know what IS patriotic?

Loving your country enough to care for its old and poor, fund its institutions, unite its communities, feed, house and educate its children, restore and live in balance with its environment, plan with care for its future, build its alliances, and perhaps above all - tell it the truth

 

 

The Tory Legacy

Record high: taxes, immigration, excrement in waterways, energy company/crony profits

Record low: living standards and investment

Crumbling Hospitals, schools, council services, businesses and roads

They squander taxpayer money by the £thousands on a failed ex-PMs luxury troughing on a plane, rather than feed UK children

Clarification:

 

(and I seriously question that any form of Hard Brexit is, if he actually got elected and no longer needed Brexit Party MPs' 'support)

Well of course if Corbyn is a Marxist he will call himself working class as (as far as I know) he does not own the means of production of anything other than this thoughts. 

 

I agree with you that Boris is just an opportunist and I also agree that Corbyn is in a somewhat difficult position because he is a legit supporter. I am not sure what he is promoting that you think is incompatible with either membership of the EU or close alignment.

 

Which good MP has the NEC deselected - lets face it Roger Godsiff is against core labour values of non discrimination. And this is a difficult point , Corbyn is anti the ruling power in the state of Israel, I have not seen any evidence he is anti Semitic although they should have acted more swiftly. 

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

As I said it might be the remain option included a commitment to the Euro or Schengen

 

Before I go into your queries above - which have already been addressed fletch, lets look back at what I've just quoted from you

 

So what we we gain from these concessions to our existing great deal?

... and why would Remainers want any more negotiating to change the deal we want to Remain on?

... and why would Leavers want to join the Euro or Schengen for all the tea in China :-/ - despite some howling diatribes from them claiming we already are?

 

That isn't remain ...

or leave

or anything approaching an improvement for either party it would seem to me. In fact ...

 

It takes a special kind of fool to pick the worst bits of both sides of an agreement and suggest them as a compromise..

- Therasa may did and Johnson has actually managed to raise the stakes on the crappest hand.

 

Whats different in this Corbyns version you seem to allude to?

... Apart from that its corbyns folly rather than May or Johnsons .. and possibly raising the risk while lowering the returns even further?

 If voting for Labour means a second referendum then I'm confident remain would come out on top this time around, and so for me, they are still a remain party. 

 

 

and to Jase a similar question

 

What if the remain option in the referendum isn't actually remain

... Just like Brexit isn't the Brexit sold in the last referendum (just to prove it happens)

Well, remain can never be remain.  What I mean by that is that we'll never get what we had back at this stage.  Brexit has permanently damaged our reputation, and we'll never have the same influence etc.  So, it's a completely hypothetical question with no real answer at this stage that I can see.  I couldn't possibly make a judgement call now on what sort of offer to remain is put on the table in the event of a second referendum in six - nine months time.

Thats avoiding the issue and you know it - so do we

 

We can remain on our existing TERMS

... provided that isn't blocked as an option by Corbyn/Johnson.

 

Now stop doing a Corbyn and answer honestly.

I was only suggesting hypotheticals and not what I thought would happen. I personally think we should have joined the euro and we should have joined Schengen but that was then not now. 
 

Maybe you can answer some of the questions I asked
