    • Your attachment showing the cinema parking restrictions seems crystal clear. Let's see what the photos turn up.
    • Meter certification periods re given in The Meters (Certification) Regulations 1998, Schedule 4. From there you can check if they are correct about your specific meter .. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1998/1566/schedule/4 If they're telling porkies then you have e clear grounds to tell them to take  hike. If they're correct or if you haven't been able to confirm then you have  few options. You could just keep fobbing them off. In general Octopus can't keep up with demand for smart meters. It took 9 months to get our. So they may not push too hard. Or ask if you can install your own choice of meter. The Electricity Act 1989 cover this in Schedule 7 (2) and (2A) https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1989/29/schedule/7 Or fight the them and their enforcement. Or go off supply.
    • We received a copy of the completed Directions Questionnaire (N181) from the solicitors along with a draft copy of their directions. I am on a course today so can upload over the weekend if needed. By 4pm on 16th May both parties must each give standard disclosure of documents by way of list by category. By 4pm on 30th May any request for inspection or copies of docs must be made and compiled 14 days thereafter. I will provide more over the weekend.
    • Have you asked for advice from your students union people? HB
    • I (and other respondents) always advise “not getting caught in a lie” it hardens their response. Why would they now believe protestations of remorse and “I won’t do it again” if they've already seen you'd lie and say it was a one-off when it wasn't..  You can try approaching the prosecutor on the day, but "I wouldn't hold my breath" …..

    • 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 all, I'm after some advice hopefully.

 

We took out a business loan in 1995,

at the time we were told that I had to take out a personal insurance cover in order to secure the loan.

Don't take the cover, no loan.

I've still got all the docs and paperwork etc.

 

The issue is I already had life insurance in place elsewhere.

This was never asked about or considered,

I was just told you must take the insurance policy with us or you can't have the loan.

 

It now seems ridiculous I was paying twice for the same product.

Is this a case of miss selling?

 

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks very much. I'll get it looked into.

 

Sorry, being ignorant here, I ve done PPI before but this is obviously different.

 

Is the spreadsheet to show what I paid over the duration?

 

Is there a template letter for this sort of thing?

 

I want to word things correctly.

 

Thanks again

Thanks for all the info. I've actually got 2 insurance covers, both business loan cover, which we were told we had to take out and which we already had elsewhere.

I've got both loan agreements and all statements so I'll follow your instructions and see what happens.

 

Thanks again.

Lloyd acknowledge the issue but require : account details, proof of payment, statements etc. I have them all so will scan them and send them off but this seems like stalling and surely they can't legally require all that?

I've sent Lloyds all the requested info, and more.

One last query, when they sent their request, I assume the 8 weeks doesn't start again and that they still have 8 weeks from original receipt to advise of their decision?

 

Thanks again for the assistance.

Hi, I'm after some more advice please as I'm getting lost off here.

 

Lloyd's fobbed me off,

after twice asking for copies of the paperwork (which they sent me anyway under the SAR),

and me sending it to them they said the policy was underwritten by someone else so not their responsibility.

 

They also said that in the 90s it was a legal position that I would have to take out the insurance to get the loan.

 

I pointed out that I already had comprehensive cover and they were already using property I owned as security.

I was then told, selling property takes too long and you may have left the money from your other insurance to the local Cats' Home.

 

Did I legally need another life insurance assigned specifically to the bank to get the loan?

It all sounds very waffly to me and as if they were trying all ways to get me off the line.

 

Any help much appreciated.

I apparently have another letter arriving from Lloyds, I'll upload as soon as it arrives.

 

Thanks very much for the help.

 

I was told 'no insurance, no loan' they've tried to say that was a legal requirement  in 1995. Also, there was no explanation at all of the insurance being assigned to the bank, no discussion re existing cover, and to top it all I've had a heart condition since the 80s (which was dismissed as it didn't matter) so it probably wouldn't have paid out anyway if the worst had happened! 

 

Even I can see a few holes in this
