    • Thank you fkofilee, Ill try and get an email put together , do i email all 3 of the above ?
    • Reform more or less said it's what they will be campaigning about but they don't expect to be implementing the plans. Dan Neidle thinks the cost is about double the amount of Truss's plans and the IFS think the figures are out by £10s of billions.
    • Rather like farage .. Reform UK plans ‘don’t add up’ and costings are out ‘by tens of billions of pounds per year’, says IFS – UK general election live | General election 2024 | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM As Nigel Farage launches party’s manifesto, Institute for Fiscal Studies says ‘the package as a whole is problematic’   "Reform UK has published its manifesto. They plan tax cuts which they say will cost £70bn; however our analysis shows that they’ve miscalculated, and the actual cost will be at least £93bn. Reform UK says it will fund these tax costs with £70bn of savings and additional revenue, but it provides few details. Their proposal to change Bank of England reserve rules is over-stated by at least £15bn, and the cost would likely fall on businesses and consumers, not banks. These two factors mean that Reform UK’s plans have a total unfunded cost of at least £38bn – about twice the unfunded cost of Liz Truss’ ill-fated 2022 “mini-budget”.
    • The finance company has a 50% stake (legal Owner) in the deal so I would certainly involve them. As for the outstanding £3635 bill thats owing to Mercedes in Croydon I wouldn't be in a rush to settle that just yet and keep it in abeyance as leverage.  Where are you at with Doves in Horsham ?

    • 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 need help to figure out where I stand with all these Parking tickets that I have racked up. I am just about to seek legal advise when a friend advised me to come on this site and ASK FOR HELP.

 

2 years ago, I was extremely slack on paying parking tickets. I was driving with a non UK licence and All of the cars I was driving were rentals. A few months ago, the council where most of the fines were racked up transfered some of my fines to the bailiffs and I started to pay the inflatted bailiff's prices for each of these fines. Once I had paid off most of the "Bailiffed" fines, I made arrangements with the council to pay a set amount per month. I am trying to come to a settlement agreement with the council but they are adamant that they are not willing to reduce my fines in anyway. I have already paid £1000's towards these fines and don't really know where to turn.

 

I have come to an agreement with them 1 month ago and have sent them payments for the next 3 month in fear that they will send the remaining to Bailiffs again. I have however, refused to sign a payment agreement that states that I will pay every fine in full. They are now advising me that within 7 days, if I don't sign the agreement (even after I have sent them the first 3 months worth of payments) that they will send the remaining fines to the Bailiffs which would add thousands of pound to the huge amount I already owe and have paid off.

 

1- How can I claim the Inflated Bailiff charges I have paid

 

2- each fine has increased to £150 each when the original amount was £50...

 

3- has anyone every been in this situation? what did you do? how did it go and where did you start?

 

I desparetly need advice, can anyone help?:? :evil:

Here's some advice......

Don't park where you shouldn't and pay up if you're caught.

 

I think the OP may have possibly realised that by now. Sarcasm alert.

 

I also think that the above was very unnecessary. A lot of people on this forum have had trouble with bailiffs and their extortionate and unlawful charges. Fair enough, the OP should have paid, and still should pay, the parking fines (as long as the tickets were valid in the first place), but there is no way that it costs bailiffs hundreds of pounds to nip round and loom in your doorway, or fire off an illegible and badly photocopied letter threatening bankruptcy (which they can't), prison (which they can't), or a visit from the boys (which they CERTAINLY can't).

 

That is why I am contending that smugness doesn't suit you.

 

Tallyhat, you may wish to start a thread in the bailiff forum detailing each company and how much they have charged you for what. I'm sorry your first post was answered with such rudeness. As long as you are willing to pay what you actually owe, and are not simply dodging a fine, people on this site will be willing to help if they can.

Click the scales if I've been useful! :)
