    • oh well i wonder what new fake documents they have made up then...for them to try this.... just to check nothing funky like Link have filed an n244 to lift the stay and strike out her defence....she hasnt moved since last court comms has she?   is this an n24? bit unusual for a 13mts stay to just be lifted... has she not received anything from link/kearns in the last fw weeks like a docs bundle? bit like this thread... https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/466576-lc-assetlinkkearns-claim-form-2-mbna-cc/?do=findComment&comment=5256397  
    • if the agreement was taken out jan 23, then she has not reached the 1/3rd mark so the car has not become protected goods under the consumer credit act.  this puts her in a very very vulnerable position regarding ever keeping the car....whereby once they have issued a default notice they can legally send a guy with a flatbed (though they are NOT BAILIFFS and have ZERO legal powers) to collect the car.  if the car is kept on the public highway then they can simply take it away and she will legally owe the whole stated amount on the agreement AND lose the car. if it's on private property i'e like a driveway, ok they shouldn't take it without her agreeing, but if they do, it's not really on but its better than a court case and an inevitable loss with the granting a return of goods order. are these 'health reasons' likely to resolve themselves in the very short term (like a couple of months?) and can she immediately begin working again ? i'e has she got a job or would have to find one?  answer the above and we'll try and help. but she looks to be between rock and a hard place . whatever happens she will still have to pay the loan off...car or no car....unless you can appeal to the finance company's better nature using health reasons to back off for xxx months.

    • Hello all,   I ordered a laptop online about 16 months ago. The laptop was faulty and I was supposed to send it back within guarantee but didn't for various reasons. I contacted the company a few months later and they said they will still fix it for me free of charge but I'd have to pay to send it to them and they will pay to send it back to me. The parcel arrived there fine. Company had fixed it and they sent it via dpd. I was working in the office so I asked my neighbours who would be in, as there's been a history of parcel thefts on our street. I had 2 neighbours who offered but when I went to update delivery instructions, their door number wasn't on the drop down despite sharing the same post code.  I then selected a neighbour who I thought would likely be in and also selected other in the safe place selection and put the number of the neighbour who I knew would definitely be in and they left my parcel outside and the parcel was stolen. DPD didn't want to deal with me and said I need to speak to the retailer. The retailer said DPD have special instructions from them not to leave a parcel outside unless specified by a customer. The retailer then said they could see my instructions said leave in a safe space but I have no porch. My front door just opens onto the road and the driver made no attempt to conceal it.  Anyway, I would like to know if I have rights here because the delivery wasn't for an item that I just bought. It was initially delivered but stopped working within the warranty period and they agreed to fix it for free.  Appreciate your help 🙏🏼   Thanks!

    • 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.

Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister


Recommended Posts

Still as dishonest as when Johnson was there - headline is a sensationalist lie for starters as proven by the first line

 

Imagine a basically honest politician as PM let loose on the VIP lane antics to regain public trust and avoid the opposition saying they are just as criminal with cover-ups

- a chunk of the Tory party would be in dock where they belong and banned from high office .. potentially

Party always comes first though ..

According to the Guardian at 09.49, the idea of Johnson staying on until the autumn is going down like a concrete parachute with MPs. They're more aware than I gave them credit for.

 

I shouldn't quote the whole thing but this is one comment.

 

Another highly senior Tory source who has been with Johnson over the past 48 hours said his behaviour meant it was dangerous for the country for him to stay. The source said:

 

His behaviour in the last 48 hrs and been reckless and erratic. He cannot be trusted to lead the country until the autumn. God knows what he will do.

The government/Johnson has been brought down due to corruption and lying - there needs to be a general election.

In a way i hope Johnson succeeds in generating one although he will try to generate a GE and kick it as far into the long grass as he can to gain time to fiddle.

 

Needs to be one now - and without the select  id required disenfranchising crap.

lets not forget that Johnson was actually getting nowhere with delivering hard Brexit .. he was just kicking it all into the long grass even with his international law breaking

Baker and the hard right wing wanted him gone. Baker may even go for PM now that the doodoo is as deep as it is and he thinks he can do what he likes for 2 years

So the resignation still seems open-ended at the moment. Pippa Crerar said earlier that she thinks it's up to the 1922 committee to organise the process of when Johnson leaves, I don't know if it has to wait until after their election on Monday.

 

I think I already said I don't think leaving him as caretaker PM isn't a good idea, nor do a lot of MPs. For once, I'm finding I agree with some of what Demonic says. He thinks Johnson should be out this evening before there's carnage. He thinks the PM is playing for time until the autumn.

This has been kicking around for a while about Johnson's dealings with Alexander Lebedev, father of Evening Standard owner Lord Lebedev. Places like the Byline Times and others.

 

Johnson finally admitted yesterday to the Liaison commiittee that he spoke to Lebedev senior without security or other staff being involved, when he was a minister.

A link would be handy please. :)

 

In other news, senior Tories are saying Johnson wants to stay on as caretaker PM because of a planned wedding bash at Chequers.

 

 
WWW.MIRROR.CO.UK

Senior Tories claim Boris Johnson is clinging to power in part so that he and wife Carrie can host lavish bash at Chequers to mark their marriage, which...

 

He has form for not leaving grace and favour residences.

 

WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK

The former foreign secretary remained rent-free in his grace-and-favour flat a stone's throw from Buckingham Palace for three weeks after storming out...

Wallace, if he promises and actions a clean-up (fat chance), with Rabb (or May) as a caretaker until then

or back to the people with preferably a lib-dem/labour coalition

.. and the Tory populists/ERG etc all losing their seats - (no issue with few real remaining conservatives winning seats - they are needed)

 

There simply is NOT a Tory party at the moment, no matter how much Russian and right wing trolls and bots (and their cheerleaders) might claim differently.

Just like there is quite rightly no real support for the other wannabe dictatorship - Corbuncle

 

 

What we will probably end up with is Baker hard right with more power until a GE - but I HOPE not.

 

 

Whats your hopes SD?

As I've said before, for me, for many years its been choosing what i perceive as the lessor evil and hope that doing such by enough people would generate improvement rather than deteriation

 

Do you really think that Starmer is as bad as Johnson or Patel?

If so - expand and explain why?

 

Think

Is someone who accidentally trod on an ant the same as a mass murderer

and is someone who isnt perfect really on a par with a lying corrupt ****** like Johnson?

(in which case you should consider you are effectively saying you are as bad as a mass murderer or Johnson)

 

So expand please?

breaking rumors (while we wait for SD)

 

After being secretly awarded the 'order of victory' for heroic efforts enabling essential Londongrad money-laundering services funding Military and subversion programs, an unnamed traitor is allegedly playing for time while he applies for political asylum in Ukraine.

 

A alleged picture of the traitor receiving it from an oligarch during a secretive meeting is expected to be released once the traitor is securely in Ukraine ...

HUH? Whats wrong with asking someone to clarify the reasoning behind their stance?

No-one has to explain, but surely it helps make/break a case, and it should be equally as acceptable to ask for clarification and present a different opinion without having to waffle when a 'stance' which flies in the face of sense and reason appears to have been presented. .

 

Simply again asking clarification on the reasoning behind a repeated statement and presenting the questionable logic in some examples which highlight the issues I see.

 

I might not add wholly niceties , direct is natural me,  but I think unsupported statements don't warrant or even deserve them anyway if I'm being blunt.

In fact I actually believe someone simply stating something like, for example  'Boris is the best most honest politician around and theres none better or different' in the current situation actually warrants little more than 'what utter crap'  as a response.

... So I was being 'nice'

How does that look?

 

 

Now did I whine or avoid when you asked me what many might see as an awkward question?

NO - I answered it as completely as i could in a shortish response

 

Perhaps consider returning that courtesy instead of whining that I am being discourteous.
