    • we dont get N157 because its new OCMC but no court dont have evidence either.   Just seems a bit of a pointless wait but oh well
    • Post #9 suggested some options to avoid or put off having a smart meter. Post #12 a simple solution to your complaint about the ay they handle fixed monthly DD. It's not really clear why you posted if you're going get irate when members "jump in" with suggestions. You can see what I'm referring to on "gasracker.uk" to allay your suspicion that I was lying in Post #16 which was made to correct ther misinformation shown in your Post #15
    • Back to octopus from the smart meter/tariff salesperson. Octopus have now said just ignore the letter - I dont have to have one despite there letter implying (at least) it was required, but that i will HAVE to have a smart meter if current meters stop working as 'their suppliers dont supply non smart meters any more'. They also say they do not/will not disable any smart functionality when they fit a smart meter I am of course going to challenge that. Thats their choice of meter fitter/supplier problem not mine
    • Point taken that we should inform new Caggers that the £20 option is there in wrong registration cases.  Well, supposedly there, who knows what the PPCs would do in practice.  Anyway, the option is allegedly there with both the BPA as you say, but also the IPC (I've just checked). However, there's a danger here of baby, bathwater. The two easiest types of cases to win are (a) residential - due to Supremacy of Contract and (b) wrong registration - due to "de minimis".  Indeed until recently we has been boasting that no Caggers, over two years, who had sent a PPC the wrong registration snotty letter, had even been taken to court, let alone lost a court hearing. We simply can do nothing about a terrible judge.  The judge seems - I say seems because we haven't had all the details - to have ignored "de minimis",. got fixated on a sign and awarded unreasonable behaviour costs.  A totally bizarre judgement.

    • 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 a debt with a vet .we had been with them for millions of years and always paid..no matter what.

 

Our last visit we disputed the amount due to incorrect advice and took them to the vet board(they won our disputed malpractice)

 

Within a week of us stating to our vet we were querying amount and letter of malpractice complaint they had put our debt to a dca and threw us out practice the same day. . 

 

Had our 1st letter from dca and it has jumped by £300

 

There doesnt seem to be anywhere I can call for advice or do we have to pay this amount on top of the debt(the vets conditions were £20late fee pmt) 

 

Anybody lead me in the correct way plz

IGNORE the DCA who is it?

 

What is the vets complaints procedure and have you exhausted it?

 

WWW.CITIZENSADVICE.ORG.UK

What to do if you have a complaint against your vet for negligence or misconduct.

 

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

I wrote an email to said vet, explaining I was contesting/unhappy with fees and to stop the dca.

 

Their response was it was passed to dca so I have to contact them as nothing to do with the vet now.

 

I have had numerous talks with vet management in regards to incorrect diagnosis.

 

I suffer with MH so their original diagnosis and all the initial stress etc made me do tests which I would never have done (as backed up over years of different  times I have visited them noting ..(me)

 

did not want xyz done. 

 

Hope I make myself clear. ..

Homer67.

The amounts increased by the dca is a charge of £72 as per our clients terms and cond. Of business to cover today's visit...

I have no clue what the other £230 is for.

They also state they will add £175  when court action begins

Who is the DCA please, and most definitely ignore them they are completely powerless to do anything.

 

Their silly missives are spat out by a computer and have no human interaction short of the postie putting it through your letter box.

 

Take a step back, start from the beginning, do you consider the vet carried out unnecessary work. didn't carry out the work a vet would have reasonably have been expected to carry out, inflated the cost??

What's the story?

 

As above scan and post up what you have received, but ENSURE you remove ALL IDENTIFIERS!

Took pooch to vet.

 

At app vet ignored all we said and stated it was Boas(to do with airways). This imho was due to breed and not examination. 

We told him at least 6 times it was not. Vet did not do any other examination to check for boas but wanted us to book in for surgery.!!

 

Turns out it was his scrotum and panting was extreme pain. Vet also ignored that dog had a hind leg issue with bone disintegrating, didnt even check it.

 

On 2nd visit later that evening dog was diagnosed with inflamation/infection.  Vet Sent dog for xray etc ..just to check(vets words) ..when antibiotics was what he  needed in the end

 

As I suffer from MH and dog had been in severe distress for 9 h I just agreed to anything. I was so away with it by this time.

 

In normal terms I do not agree to exploitative scans etc . And would not have on 1st app if told it was inflammation

 

Dca Letter was hand delivered through letterbox not mailrd. It is DSL.

Would you be harmed in any way by a CCJ against you ?

 

It seems to me that if you have  already complained about Vets and lost through the complaints process, that you would struggle to defend any Court claim that was issued against you.

 

I would suggest that you deal with the Vets directly.  Write to the Vets practice and offer to pay them the original bill amount, plus the £20 late payment fee.   And work out an amount you could afford to pay them each month and pay them the first payment.  On the vets bill you may have their Banks sortcode/account number to make a payment to.  If not send them a cheque. And then keep making payments that you have offered.

 

If you are making payment to the Vets, it is less likely they would issue a Court claim.  And if they did, you would have evidece of making payments to them for the debt.

We could do with some help from you.

DSL spouting utter nonsense and thinking they're Bailiffs by using big words. IGNORE them, although for their immature response I'd be very inclined to be reporting them to the relevant authorities for their use of certain terminology.

 

As for the Vet, I'd be finding another one, and then starting a dialogue with them and coming to some arrangement, have you gad a second opinion from another vet as to what they would have done in this particular situation with the symptoms your dog presented?

 

That missive from DSL has really got my back up, ''Pre litigation survey'' Absolute twaddle, they wouldn't know litigation if it hit them on the backside, what children.

Bazooka boo.

Prior to getting the 2nd app. With my own vet I called a Boas specialist vet to ask advice.

 

As it was a tel. Call and they had never seen my dog they could not give advice but based on what I said said it was not boas.

 

They did state that they would take a full medical history of any  dog coming to them in  (there are about 10/12 issues relevant when dog has boas)

They would ask me relevant q's in regards to those issues and would also walk dog to see how its breathing was.

 

None of this was done by the 1st vet. 

He also ignored us when we stated 6 times the dog had never shown Boas signs and got walked/run for 1 h per day(a boas dog that needed immediate surgery would have difficulty walking/breathing never mind a 1 h exercise. )
