    • Well tbh that’s good news and something she can find out for herself.  She has no intention if peace.  I’m going to ask the thread stays open a little longer.   It seems she had not learned that I am just not the one!!!!  plus I have received new medical info from my vet today.   To remain within agreement, I need to generally ask for advice re:  If new medical information for the pup became apparent now- post agreement signing, that added proof a second genetic disease (tested for in those initial tests in the first case but relayed incorrectly to me then ), does it give me grounds for asking a court to unseal the deed so I can pursue this new info….. if she persists in being a pain ? If generally speaking, a first case was a cardiac issue that can be argued as both genetic and congenital until a genetic test is done and then a second absolute genetic only disease was then discovered, is that deemed a new case or grounds for unsealing? Make sense ?   This disease is only ever genetic!!!!  Rather more damning and indisputable proof of genetic disease breeding with no screening yk prevent.   The vet report showing this was uploaded in the original N1 pack.  Somehow rekeyed as normal when I was called with the results.  A vet visit today shows they were not normal and every symptom he has had reported in all reports uploaded from day one are related to the disease. 
    • Hi Roberto, Read some of the other threads here about S Sixes - they all follow the same routine of threats, threats, then nothing. When you do this, you'll see how many have been in exactly the same situation as you are. Keep us updated as necessary .............

    • I think you have the supremacy of contract as it allows you to park in designated areas. I would argue that there being parking enforcement there clearly means its to be used as parking and as such you can use it under your lease. Only need to worry if they ever follow through with a letter of claim and a claimform though

    • 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.

Hi guys

 

Simple question really, when on JSA is it possible to get bills reduced? I've heard of people doing it i.e. getting money off their water bills for example. I'm 25 single fyi no kids anything like that live in shared accommodation.

 

Does anybody have any info about this? I live up north.

I was going to mention social tariffs but a quick googling tells me they've been phased out.(replaced with something else)

Southern water do a capped rate for people on means tested benefits so other water suppliers might too. Unfortunately Southern Water only do that for people on meters, not people on standard rates and I'm too scared to switch because at least I know how much I am paying each month on standard rates, whereas once I say yes to the meter then I'm stuffed and I have no clue how much they will want me to pay each month.

 

Since the introduction of the under occupancy reduction in HB I have turned my hot water off, I don't want not to be drinking as well.

Yep, my TV licence is due for renewal in July and by then I will know if I've saved enough by losing the hot water or not, if not, then that is the next thing on my list not to be renewed.

Let tv license know you don't watch live tv. You can watch everything on catch up & not have to pay a license for that believe it or not.

Not sure about the water, but my brother sounds in a similar situation with the JSA etc, but he has NEVER paid water rates, lives in a block of flats so from what I gather they can't cut him off. But they are now starting to kick off. After about 8 yrs :!:

You need a TV licence if you watch live TV as it is broadcast. So you do not need a licence if you only watch DVDs, or if you only view shows on a catch-up service like iPlayer, 4OD or whatever.

 

However, watching live streams online of things that are also being broadcast on live TV at the same time - for that you do need a licence.

I live alone now in my one bedroom flat, I had a water meter installed, well actually there are two, and its reduced my bill, its now about £160 a year I think. I still find it hard to pay though, even broken down to fortnightly instalments, as is council tax, tv license, gas and electric. Tv license will have to be the next thing, I would be happy watching catchup only and dvd's.

Can't remember when I stopped my tv licence. I had a small tv but when I realised it hadn't even been switched on for over a year I chucked it out. That must have been at least two years ago. Apart from the initial letter confirming I didn't need a licence I've heard nothing from them. They are welcome to visit as I don't have a set!

To people on about TV licence, when I was forced onto JSA I just decided screw them and stopped paying it, they send threatening letters and haven't done anything to me. They may knock on ur door apparently in rare cases but all you have to do is say "sorry not interested don't buy from door" and close it on them. Nothing they can do. Haven't had TV licence in nearly 2 years.

It's possible they have been out with their detector van & found you're ok.

Just to be clear, it is the position of the CAG that people should obey the law. If someone needs a TV licence they should buy one and not try to evade payment. We're happy to advise on the matter of how, legally, to avoid the need to pay for one, however.

A friend's daughter was fined £1000 for not having a licence.

 

Cause she probably let them in and they found her in possession of an aerial I would love to know exact details of this case, they have no powers to enter your property unless you let them. I researched all of this in detail. Also detector "vans" don't exist.

 

They knock on your door and you can just refuse them entry or not say anything at all. Most of it is based on fear tactics.

I think I made the CAG position on this clear. Let's drop the hijack.
