    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

From the Guardian today.

 

'Jeremy Corbyn has said he will remain in place as Labour leader while his party undertakes a “period of reflection” after suffering catastrophic election losses in its traditional heartlands.'

 

I wonder how he'll take it if the upshot is that he was the main problem...

In enabling a majority for Johnson, Corbyn has undoubtedly done more damage to the labour Party, the soon to be ex United kingdom, workers and environmental rights and protections, and the NHS than a decade of Thatcher-ism ever could.

 

Well done the loony left.

Johnson and the ERG say THANK YOU.

Probably won't HB, a Marxist will never admit that their core Marxist belief is out of step with mainstream, what is apparent is the more, the likes of Soubry and Chuka hactored the people the more angry they became, as they  had had enough of being told you are wrong, but don't worry we will waste 3 1/2 years fixing it for you.

 

People feel that Politics is something done to them rather than a process they have a full and meaningful part in.

Someone on the BBC has worked out that 48% of people voted for parties that backed Remain or a second referendum.

 

And now Farage is talking about starting a Reform party to campaign for proportional representation, amongst other things. I didn't see that coming.

Overheard tab-hanging outside the window at corbyn central.

 

 

 

Comrade 1: It cant have been jeremy - it was Brexit

 

Soon to be ex comrade 2: But our policy on Brexit was Jezzs' wasn't it

 

Comrade 1:  Of course it wasn't - we presented it to you all.

 

 

Comrade 1:  and Jezzas policy is to work together to bring the country together not to lead by dictate

 

Soon to be ex comrade 2: But Jezz ruled out a none aggression pact in certain seats with the other Parties

 

Comrade 1:  Yes but they wouldn't just step aside ... They could have

 

 

 

Comrade 1: But the people loved our policies

 

Soon to be ex comrade 2:  Apart from how little they were actually properly defined - and the none-Brexit policy loathed by Remainers and Leavers - and of course the open door instant benefits to all and every immigrant policy announced just when it seemed Jezza had a chance of being in a position to get the people a confirmatory referendum and deliver some real changes.

He did want to win didn't he?

 

Comrade 1: You are a Capitalist plant - throw her out.

Comrade 1: Now where were we? Ah - it wasn't jezzaa' fault and we must insist he remains in power and persues these policies relentlessly against his will as he is a reluctant leader now musn't we?

 

(Discontented murmurings start to increase)

Blair MK2 is the only way Labour ever wins again.  No matter how much the momentum lefties screech about it, it's just how it is.

 

Besides, with such a huge majority Johnson is no longer in hock to the ERG or DUP, so the chances of a softer Brexit are higher.

As I recall the only thing you tried telling us was based on a quote that you selectively edited by Lord James of Blackheath. You misrepresented it as a statement of fact when it was actually a question which was laughed at by his peers in the House of Lords.  We told you it was garbage, you asked us to prove it and we did.

You proved nothing.  All you continually harped on about was how great Commie Corbyn and the Labour party is and how

you are going to remain in the EU.

Read back through at what you said, you sound just like the losing party did with all it's rubbish and lies in a manifesto that

they had no intention or the funds to every adhering to. They would have done exactly like your mate Gordon Brown did, bankrupt the country

and achieve nothing as they always do.

 

Gang up on me, I don't care, because whatever way you try to bend it, the Conservative party won, Brexit won and I won.

Especially as there have been toys out of pram protests by Momentum and other left wing supporters against Johnson, what do they want re-run the election  next week and see if Corbyn wins second time around?  the FPTP electoral system is fatally flawed SNP got 48 seats on 3.9% of the total votes cast in UK on 2.7% the Greens got 1 seat Tories had 29.3% of the vote in a turnout of 67.3%  So in reality the representation is skewed.

Labour now need to go back to sensible moderate slightly left of centre politics.  The experiment with Momentum/Corbyn is over, as British electorate would never vote them into Government. 

 

I am hoping that Kier Starmer takes over as leader and takes action to remove the experimental side of Labour, who are not in tune with the electorate. 

 

Labour losing heartland seats was not only about Brexit, it was a rejection of a fantasy Socialist manifesto the country could not afford and a rejection of Corbyn who was not trusted.

The proof of the pudding as they say will be in the eating. As far as I saw Labour did have a costed manifesto but they failed because they had the wrong leader. I say that as someone who believes in nationalisation, taxing the rich more and providing a real living wage with real living hours. 
 

Of course we will now have to wait 12 months to see what sort of trade deal we get, if we don’t get one then Johnson will be unable to hit his spending promises which don’t even undo the cuts since 2010. So yes maybe the Tories won and we are leaving and maybe you got what you wanted , but I think if you have the ability to reflect in 5 years time you will regret it. 

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Ok, if I'm still alive in 5 years time I promise to come back then and we will see just what has happened.

 

As far as the cuts, they were all required because Gordon Brown and Tony Blair bankrupted the country.

 

Labour has said this time that it will borrow and when asked on tv what happens when all that borrowed money is spent,

Corbyn said live on tv "borrow some more".

How many more times!!!  It was a global recession!!  Seriously, I feel like I'm in a cuckoo clock.  Answer honestly, surely if the country had been bankrupted the price of food would have shot up and we wouldn't have been able to draw any money out from a cash point?  These things are what I would expect if we had gone under as a country.

In terms of the result, in hindsight, I think that the manifesto possibly went too far.  I think nationalisation of utilities, railways and royal mail is a good thing due to the fact privatisation sucks money out of the system, and things end up being paid for several times over.

 

I'm not sure nationalisation of BT was such a good thing.  Our network is pretty rubbish and leaving infrastructure projects to private companies is incoherent and inefficient, but that might have been a step too far.

 

I disagree it's all Corbyn's fault because the Tory's campaigned on a very simple message - "get brexit done".  In effect, their manifesto was very basic, and labour haemorrhaged leave voting labour voters so desperately tired of the process.  There was a hell of a lot of anti Corbyn propaganda from the word go.

 

I said after the referendum that the Tory's would be screwed because they wouldn't be able to deliver on any of the promises made, and for a long time it looked like that would be the case.  However, I never took into consideration the effect of Boris Johnson would have because he's a very good salesman... I would bet my life on us having a deal by the end of next year, and whatever we're left with will be championed as a massive success... I'm sick of it all if I'm honest.  I've had people banging on about remainers can all shit up now, they lost etc, as if they'd won the lottery.  But when I look at it, it was all still based on nonsense and misinformation, so I think we've all lost.

 

We're now left with a Tory government that has a huge majority so that they can push through anything they like.  Where's the democracy there?  Leavers wanted more democracy, but Johnson having played a blinder, has secured less democracy and conviced them they're all winners.  Coupled with their promise to "renegotiate the relationship between parliament and the courts" I'm concerned all these leave voters aren't really thinking clearly.  I've also said all along that brexit was about the elite in our country having more overall control, and now they have it.  They've even convinced working class labour voters that it's in their interest.  How did this happen?

Jase, I agree about the elite taking control, not that the Tories think they're the elite. According to them the eilite are a group I possibly don't understand, who are against what the Tories are doing.

 

I think we should be worried about the courts, parliament [he already prorogued it once and Bercow has gone], Channel4, the BBC and others.
