    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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,

 

I have been working for a business who made my life hell, it’s ended up in me leaving.

 

I resigned via email a month ago which they ignored, left on my final day and did not receive my final pay which should have been a few days later.

 

They run weekly payroll, I left it two more weeks and still nothing

I sent a letter to which they acknowledged.

A few days later I received another letter saying that I would be paid in a week and a half meaning that it would be the payroll after next and I won’t receive my p45 until this is done.

 

Is there anything that I can do about this?

 

Thanks

What is the value of the outstanding money?

You could simply go ahead and sue them on the contract – but maybe you can tell is a little bit more about the problems they caused you.

You felt forced to leave – tell us more about that please.

How long had you been working there and how many hours per week were you working? What was your role?

Who are they?

It’s around £10000,

I am already suing them for my treatment and would rather not submit another claim  as this whole situation sent me into a depression for months.

 

I was verbally abused by directors in front of others, sworn at on numerous occasions, denied my contractual wage and completely ignored by a few who were not happy about me joining from the day I started and since I lodged a grievance about my treatment, I have have false allegations made against me, lucky for me I can prove that they’re not true.

 

I was just wondering if I could send some sort of email to request that my p45 and outstanding payment is released before the next payroll given the delays that have happened.

You haven't addressed the questions as to how long you were there and how many hours a week you were working

Less than 2 years service means some avenues regarding taking action about your treatment are more difficult.

 

If you are suing them, I guess you are receiving help from a qualified Solicitor who specialises in employment cases ?  If not, you should do so.

We could do with some help from you.

I'm hoping that Cagger @Emmzzi will be along to help – who is expert in employment rights.

However, because you have been there for less than two years you don't have the normal employment rights which might have entitled you to claim constructive dismissal.
It's very likely that on 18 months you will simply be able to claim for breach of contract – which means that you would get the salary which is outstanding plus any holiday entitlement.

What is your holiday entitlement at the moment?

I see that I have just crossposted with my colleague.

Although my colleague has recommended an employment solicitor, because your situation is likely to be limited simply to a breach of contract action – it probably won't be at all helpful to do that and might even incur some costs.

Let's see if @Emmzzi can supply any ideas

By the way, since you began employment have you received a written contract of employment or at least a statement of the terms of employment?

Have your salary payments been properly documented every month and you have been provided with the correct paperwork associated with those payments?

 

I have just noticed that you have said that the outstanding money is £10,000 – ten thousand.

 

Is that correct? Or did you mean £1000?

 

Also you say that you are already suing them in respect of the treatment you have received. Can you tell us a bit about that claim please

I can remember receiving training from a employment Solicitors years ago, as a line manager in a company and much of that knowledge is long gone. However, what stuck with me is that anything employment related is incredibly complicated.  Hence why questions are being asked, as it is important to have all information.

 

Type of employment will also be important. ACAS website has information.  I would want to know details of the employment contract, what your role required of you, any disciplinary processes etc. 

 

WWW.ACAS.ORG.UK

It's important to know your employment status as it affects your legal rights and what you’re entitled to.

By the way, in terms of your original question about your P 45 – which I realise wasn't addressed, you are entitled to receive your P 45 almost immediately and there is a route to complain to HMRC about the failure to provide it.
I didn't know this. This is something that I just picked up from the Internet.

I'm sure you realise that not having a P 45 doesn't prevent you going on to new employment although you would probably be taxed at some emergency rate which would then be adjusted once your tax code had been established.

Hi,

 

In regards to my claim I have a union helping me, £10,000 is correct as it includes unused holiday. I am claiming on the grounds of discrimination. I was one a full time permanent contract. My role was managerial and I submitted a grievance previously but have not had any disciplinary held against me. Am I able to ask the company to release monies owed to me immediately with my P45 as opposed to waiting for the next payroll?

I see you have advice and support from your union. Have you asked them the payment question?

 

Obviously you can ask for pay/P45 to be paid immediately but I expect they will just repeat what they have already told you, that you "would be paid in a week and a half". And they aren't refusing to pay you, it's just when? Is that right? 

 

Although legal action might be possible I'm not sure how practical that is for you. If I understand your post correctly you should get the pay/P45 within the next 7-10 days or so. That hardly gives any time for you to start legal action.

 

I'd wait until the date they've said you'll get pay/P45 and see if it arrives. If it arrives all well and good. If either (a) it doesn't arrive or (b) it arrives but is less than it ought to be, that's the time to think about legal action.

 

Is the delay causing you significant finacial problems? eg you are are having to borrow money for day to day living expenses?

If your contract has ended, then the payment of any amount due plus the issuing of the P45 should be a manual process.   Should not have to wait until next payroll date.   But companies often delay making the paying, as it relies on  managers passing all of the information to HR/payroll.

 

Suggest that you get the Union to complain about the delay on your behalf.

 

Given that the Union are helping you, suggest that you follow their advice.  And to contact them, if you have any problems.

The only way to force someone to pay you is via the courts - and then sometimes with a follow up by debt collectors. So there is no easy way to make it go faster.

 

£10k seems like a lot - is it pure holiday outstanding or also time in lieu/ overtime? It is a really well paid job, or do they owe your several weeks money?

 

Did you have agreement to carry over holidays/work overtime etc documented?

 

Basically - what evidence do you have for anything above regular pay?

Never assume anyone on the internet is who they say they are. Only rely on advice from insured professionals you have paid for!
