    • I had to call an ambulance for my wife, but one of the paramedics was not happy, about the condition of our house, as it's cluttered. And he  would only see to my wife, on the ambulance itself. After diagnosis they took my wife to hospital. My wife was ill for a few months, and received help from the district nurses. We then got a call from a social worker, who wanted to visit us, and discuss ways to make my wife more comfortable. When I asked for more details, she became vague, but could give us a phone number, if she visited. I politely declined her offer, as I was coping, along with my daughter in caring for my wife. Then a letter arrived from another social worker, saying similar things, to the first. I didn't bother to reply. Another letter has just turned up, from the social services legal department, which doesn't say anything specific, but refers to the other social workers trying to visit us. Coming from a legal department, has badly upset my wife, who's recovery was on going, and she now fears that someone will be coming to the house, to do whatever. Do we have to respond, or take notice of these people. Also we recently had a fire prevention officer come and fit, smoke and heat detectors. He didn't voice any concerns with the conditions at the property. Worried, Paul.
    • By not sticking to the deadline which you set you have lost credibility. Your letter of claim becomes one of hundreds of others which they receive and which they put in the bin because they think that you are just bluffing.  
    • 05.05.24 Ever so sorry if I have entered this in the wrong part of this website.   My grandfather is in his 70's and retired.  He asked me to help him find a work pension that he was paying into when he was working. From 1967 - 1982 he worked for a Fabric Dying Company, Celanese, Spondon Derby UK. I have already used the GOV.uk Trace Pension Scheme. It listed a few pension companies : Akzo Nobel (CPS) Pension Scheme formerly Courtaulds Pension Scheme.  I do not fully understand how this works but I think this scheme is administer by a company called Willis Tower Watson. We have called this company, got through to the pension department submitted all my grandfather's details (D.O.B. , N.I. no. etc.) but that agent tells that they have no record of my grandfather and ask what is the name of the pension scheme. Here is the problem, his home was burgalled in 2005 and a briefcase which contained his legal documents was stolen. So he does not know who was the Pension Scheme company. I have a this phone number 01332 681 210 for Celanese but it just rings and never gets answered. So I am asking for help if anyone can tell us where we can try next. I am also hoping for a massive long shot that one of them members on this website, worked for or knows someone who worked for British Celanese Spondon Derby and could tell us of any pension company. Thanks for any help.

    • 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.

Lilly - I have 2 accounts from YB that Marlin have - one is for 1800 overdraft which Mortimer Calrke (Phoenix) have issed a stat demand in July - despite me telling them I had disputed this amount (unfair charges etc) and they have listed a Bankruptcy petition hearing at Court - except they HAVEN't told me !!! I found out after getting a leter from the Land registry - after writing 3 times to MC to let me have dets of the hearing they have replied and said they have applied for an adjournment as they did not get the papers from court in time --- THING IS - the Court dont know any of this !!!! I rang them and said there was no application for adjournment -- PLUS - I have SAR'd YB who have sent me just account statement copies and NO copy of Notice of assignment-- am now having sleepless nights as I now have to go to court Friday and ask that this be thrown out -

 

Any advice/reassurance you have will be gratefully received X

Lilly (or anyone else who can help please ) - I cant seem to open a new thread on here - the date i referred to last was adjourned as Mortimer Clarke sent a letter asking for it to be so - I had sent a form 6.19 opposing the BP - but have not heard from the court about that - I have received a date from court for 18feb (tomorrow) for the "FURTHER HEARING OF THE PETITION " but I have still not had anything from the other party (petition papers or anything)

 

I have seen athread this morning that says the SD is only good for 4 months - mine was served 17th July 2009 - does that mean court will strike the petition out tomorrow if I ask ?

 

Also - this company have caused me no end of stress - cant afford a solicitor so am trying to get all my help and advice from here - can i ask for costs to be awarded tomorrow on the day ?

 

thanks for listening

You should be asking that they throw it out on that basis... request your costs for attendance (but as you submitted nothing the court might just make a no costs order to save hassle).

 

If you do make a costs request draw up a brief schedule... £9.25 an hour for work undertaken as a LiP... travel rate of £0.40 per mile (or your bus/taxi fare but you need receipt for it)... max of £50 for missed wages.

 

Be cheeky... ask or you don't get.

Hi Samba - just to update you the hearing in Feb never went ahead - MC asked for an adjournment as "they had no time to serve docs" -what a nerve - they havent even tried - the court adjourned it for a hearing 22nd March - and i rang court today and MC have made an application to "serve papers alternativeley" ie not by personal service just through the post - me thinks they are just prevaricating and I told court so....STILL havent received SAR docs from YB and have chased them up - according to the Post Office they havent even collected the recorded delivery letter !!!

I contacted a solicitor but at £110 per hour fee would be just impossible - I feel 90% the judge will throw this out once it does get there - but what can I do in the meantime ?? Its all rather stressful !!!!

Hi Samba - thanks for your words....I went today and it was adjourned AGAIN (4th time) the judge was surprised to see me as I have not been sent any papers or anything to do with the case. I found today that the other side had applied for alternative service of docs as their process server has been to my house numerous times and not managed to see me - I DONT BELIEVE THEM...........I think it is another attempt to delay all this and put more prssure on me - and its working !!!!!! :mad:

 

I am now resigned to going to see a solicitor - its all getting too much - jusdge said he could strike it out but didnt - he adjourned it - the other side didnt even show ----

GH - sorry didnt see your post - quick resume of my case -

debt = Yorkshire BAnk overdraft (2k) stopped banking with them in 2007 as their fees /charges extortionate

They referred the matter to 3 different DCA when I mentioned to them it was disputed debt (I told YB it was made up of unfair back charges ) - they stopped contacting me

 

MC Sols contacted me July last year with a Stat Demand - they would not listen to me about the debt being disputed (said YB have no record of my complaint when clearly they did )

So - Stat demand issued - I was given bad advice so not set it aside

since then MC Sols claim to have been trying to serve BP docs - and got to court today to be "served" by agent sols.

I have sent YB a SAR on Nov last year but they have only sent copy statements - NOT NOA or copy correspondence to MC Sols etc - or my original agreement with them .....

 

ANY help would be graetfully appreciated
