    • for more information both driving offences were on the same day 18/11/23 so currently fall inside the 6 month mark for prosecution is that correct?
    • You're a wizard with Booking.com, Dave. I'll wait to see if you have any joy talking to your buddy and hope you have a good catch up. Thank you for doing this. I'm not sure the owner of this gite knows what she's doing so I'll certainly mention what you've just said about customer services. I'll wait for the result of your conversation first, though. HB
    • Yes, I noticed that.  Too much of a coincidence methinks!  The OP says they never received a LoC and then in the CPR answer the solicitors say they hold a copy of the LoC but don't include it. I think the best thing is not to request a copy but use this against them in your WS - you never received LoC and indeed in their answer to your CPR request (included an an exhibit in the WS) they included various documents but not the LoC.
    • Frustratingly I've got a voice WhatsApp message from my friend but he's misunderstood the situation and thinks it's you who wants to cancel.  Anyway, I've answered asking if I can call him and hopefully the two of us will be free at the same time today to actually speak on the phone. In the meantime I found this on a page I think meant for people/businesses who have listings on Booking.com How can I communicate with guests to inform them about unforeseen issues at my property and initiate a cancellation? If you’re experiencing unforeseen issues and can’t accommodate your guests, you must report this to our customer service. They will support you with the cancellation request and relocation of the guests, if applicable. https://partner.booking.com/en-gb/help/reservations/changes-cancellations/handling-cancellations-and-guests-cancellation-requests#question-153182 So that's what the host should be doing.  
    • Hi ALl,    Would appreciate some advice and support. I went to insure my car with my partner last night and they refused insurance. I checked my dvla license online and it stated I have been disqualified for 6 months. This is due to 2 driving offences that I failed to identify the driver. I moved house a year ago and completely forgot about changing the registered address. This went to court on 14th May 24 and was given a fine for both and 6 points each totalling 12 points and a 6 month ban. I have read a few things online and spoken to a couple of solicitors for a quick consultation and views and opinions are so varied. Some solicitors are charging extortionate money for something that I know takes 5 mins such as the statuary declaration.    I am going to complete a statutory declaration today and get a solicitor to sign and submit this. But is this just delaying the inevitable? what's the likely hood of being able to overturn this and just pleading guilty to the original 2 offences and take the 3 points for each and a fine with no ban? Any help would be much appreciated, I have been sent the papers by the courts today so have this to hand. Looks like I'm only being charged for the failure to identify and not that and the speeding offence if that makes any difference.    R

    • 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.

We'd like to spend about£300 on some law books. We will probably need more later.

 

It would be helpful if people thought that they might like to chip in.

We have no accounts and no way of showing that the money is correctly spent.

It seems that the best way would be if anyone who is interested might like to purchase and send us an Amazon Gift certificate to [email protected]

 

These start at £5.00, I'm afraid and need a credit card - so that might cause a problem for some people on this site, unfortunately.

 

here's the link

If anyone has any criticism of this request, please let us know publicly on this thread.

We aren't very happy to be asking in this way but we don't have any other ideas.

Any contributions will be thanked privately and we will post when and if the certificates amount to £300. We will post Amazon receipts so that people can see what has been bought.

 

Thanks

there you go, youre 10 quid richer. can you tell us how much you end up getting? also you should set up a wish list so we can buy the books for you - its a bit more trustworthy.

 

I'll second that. Not because of the trustworthy part, but because s/one might be able to get hold of some 2nd hand (ebay, anyone? :lol: ).

 

I got specialist books on autism & out of prints on ebay that would have cost me a fortune through regular channels.

also it would be nice to see just what youre buying with what we're giving you.

 

As I said in an earlier post, we would put up the Amazon receipts for what has been brought.

 

However, I can tell you that so far the list includes

Civil procedure handbook 2005 - pub Oxford - about £35

Civil Procedure Loughlin & Gerils - pub Cavendish - about £35

Toulson on Confidence about £135 new edition. - this especially

other contract, banking law, trusts books not identified yet.

Book of forms and precedents - not identified yet

 

Also, possible subscription to Lexis and or Lawtel at some time in the future but this is not on the present list

One problem with law book you have to buy the latest issue as new cases can change the law daily. So by using old books, you could be quoting a cases that has been over ruled.

you should look in second hand book shops, they have th ebig advantage of having other peoples notes in them too :)

 

In your dreams!

If you knew the time that this forum is taking you would understand that we don't have time to hunt around like that. I don't even have time at the moment to make claims against my own bank or one or two other companies which I have set my sights on.

 

I'm pleased that The Bank Action Group seems to be working but you had better believe that I am putting 100+ hours per week into it.

There is now a wish list at http://www.amazon.co.uk

wishlist is in the name of BankActionGroup

3 books in it at the moment

 

However as far as I can make out items in a wish lisy can only be bought in their entirety not by numerous individual contributions.

 

I don't think that it will work.

 

Gift certificates are the best way but if people rather not, or they don't trust it then just don't contribute. It's OK
