    • On interviewing members of the 'gathering of 10s of people, who huddled together in a small village pub car park with the bus and other vehicles with room to spare, other excited comments were offered: 'wheres the free chip van we were told was here?' a group of 9 locals asked 'Isn't this Angelas' battle bus?' from another significant group comprising over 10% of the total (11) 'We thought it was  30p Lees' resignation speech? retorted what seemed to be the largest grouping (25)   A large percentage (6 or 7) of the crowd of 10's were apparently so impressed with the 2 very small looking figures hidden away on the top of the double decker, they repeatedly called for knighthoods for the right pair: "2 Sirs" "2 Sirs" was continually heard 
    • Hi yes I didn’t scan 4 things went to the kiosk and they asked me for my receipt. It was ASDA no police were called I paid for the goods and they gave me letter saying I’m banned for a year. 
    • Hello, welcome to CAG. Can you tell us more about what happened please? Who stopped you and which shop? Best, HB
    • You don't mention what the debts are, which is important, as it really depends on the details in deciding best course of action. So list types of debt e.g credit card, type of loan, utility bill; current owner bank or dca; approximate amount for each debt.  And do you own any property assets. There is no blanket advice regarding all types of debts. Whoever you contact regarding debt advice would want to know all of the information. The debt buying businesses deal with multi billions worth of debts. They can't issue Court claims for most debts as the cost of pursuing would be ruinous and don't have staff resources. Instead they rely on credit records being impacted and therefore people need to resolve the debts. And they rely on anxious debtors paying amounts after receiving threatening communications. If you know you are likely to be made redundant, start looking for other employment soon. Due to longer recruitment processes being followed by employers, it can take about 3 months between applying and starting a new job.

    • 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.

Did not pay NI conts in 14/15 and 15/16 as I was below lower earnings limit.

 

I am now unable to work due to a health condition.

 

If I opt to pay the contributions for both these tax years is it likely I will then satisfy both of the contribution conditions for an award

(I know I am not entitled to income based as my partner works).

The second condition is really confusing me!!!

 

The guidance online says:-

 

You qualify for contributory Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) if you have paid sufficient National Insurance contributions.

 

There are two contribution conditions you must meet:

 

First contribution condition

- in one of the last two complete tax years,

you must have paid Class 1 or 2 contributions on relevant earnings at the lower earnings limit for at least*26 weeks.

This means you must have worked for at least 26 weeks of the last two complete tax years; and

 

Second contribution condition

- in both of the last two complete tax years,

you must have paid or been credited with,

Class 1 or 2 contributions to the value of 50 times the lower earnings limit.

 

Anybody?? Please

Hi thank you for your reply, I was working in those years , I didn’t pay conts because I was below the threshold but had the option to pay no conts at the low earnings level so if I did this would they be class 2 conts , I’m very confused 🤷*♀️ x
