    • Thanks, I've had my fill of this lot. What makes me so mad is that I had to take out student loan to get any DHSS help. And then when I tried to help myself and family they presented obstacles. Might be worth passing story to RIP off Britain?
    • there is NO exposure if you simple remove your name address/ref numbers etc from docs, over 10'000 pdf uploads are here. which then harvests IP addresses off of the people that then do so..which is why we do not allow hosting sites. read our rules and upload carefully thats exactly why we say capture as JPG, redact, then convert/merge to one mass PDF. then online sites to achieve that we list do not leave watermarks.  every once in a while we have a user like you that thinks they know better...we've been doing it since 2006 with not one security issue. thank you.
    • was at the time you ticked it  but now they've still not complied . if you read up, here , you'll see thats what everyone does,  
    • no they never allow the age related get out, erudio are masters at faking supposed 'arrears' fees which were levied before said date and thus null its write off. 1000's of threads here on them!! scammers untied that lot. i can almost guarantee they'll state it's not SB'd too re above, but just ignore them once sent. dx

    • 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.

I'm after some advice today... 

I had a Bailiff visit today, regarding a court fine for a motoring offence.

I had the original judgement set aside at the end of January, as I had no knowledge of it.

I went to Court, swore an oath, and was retried for the original offence and fined.

I paid this fine within the agreed timescale. 

The Court said that the original fine and warrant would be cancelled. 

Today a Bailiff arrived at my address, to seek payment - the Court hasn't cancelled my original warrant. 

I wasn't in (I was 300 miles away!) and my landlords girlfriend let the Bailiff in, though he didn't have any ID on him (it was in the car, apparently).

I have a TV and an Xbox in the room I rent, and that's about it.

The rest of the equipment in the house self evidently doesn't belong to me. 

The Bailff has gone round the house, photographing various electrical items in my bedroom, and in the rest of the house

- my landlords girlfriend told him the situation, explained I'm only the lodger, and that the stuff in the house wasn't mine, other than what was in my room. 

He's told her, and me, that all of these good are subject to a Controlled Goods agreement.

She has no paperwork at all for this, has never seen any and wasn't given anything. It's just photos. 

Apparently they will be attending on Saturday to remove all good listed - we have no idea what they are, as there is no Agreement! 

What I'd like to know is

- does this sort of thing happen often, ie a Court not cancelling a Warrant properly?

Bailiff reckoned he'd not experienced it before, but then he's probably thinking I'm making it up I suppose.

I was very specific with him about what I'd done and when I'd done it, including dates of hearings and when I paid the new fine. 

I've phoned the Court Payments office, who could see what had happened.

He said he would lodge a Complaint on my behalf, as he could sense I wasn't happy about having a bailiff stamping around my landlords house, threatening to take stuff that isn't mine!

Not to mention the embarrassment of this happening in the first place. 

Said Bailiff also flat refused to speak to the Court to see whether I was telling the truth

- apparently that was my job to do, despite me pointing out that I'm not the person in the wrong here! 

So - has the bailiff acted correctly?

He's not offered Id, has not left a Copy of a Controlled Goods agreement, or offered a chance to sign one, or even attempted to fill one out, and he's threatened to take goods that plainly don't belong to me. 

Is it worth lodging a complain about the whole sorry a fair, and if so, who are the best people to complain to? 

I've included a text from the Bailiff, showing he's said he's taken control of goods. 

Sorry about the long post!

Until you do as ploddertom advises, and make sure the court pulls the Warrant, the bailiff will attend and remove the goods.

 

What Bailiff company is it ?

We could do with some help from you.

I'm not sure as he left no paperwork. I'll have to dig out my own paperwork later on. I Contacted the court yesterday, last thing. The agent I spoke to at the payments office could see the original warrant had not been recalled.

 

I will check later on that this has now happened, as promised.

The Bailiff has done very little wrong but does have to follow the Warrant if it is classed as "live". The Magistrates have the power to recall it at any stage - it does look as if it may have been pulled but no one followed through to make sure.
