    • Ok thanks for that, well spotted and all duly noted. Yes they did eventually submit those docs to me after a second letter advising them I was contacting the ICO to make a formal complaint for failing to comply with an earlier SAR that they brushed off as an "administrative error" or something. When I sent the letter telling them I was in contact with the information commissioner to lodge the complaint, the original PCN etc quickly followed along with their excuse!
    • its not about the migrants .. Barrister Helena Kennedy warns that the Conservatives will use their victory over Rwanda to dismantle the law that protects our human rights here in the UK.   Angela Rayner made fun of Rishi Sunak’s height in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions, which prompted Joe Murphy to ask: just how low will Labour go? .. well .. not as low as sunak 
    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!!

    • 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 there,

 

i have been reading lots of threads on this and my story is exactly replicated here. Mr lee of 169UK has collected my Vauxhall Antanra 6 months ago, saying is 2 weeks job to put reconditioned engine with 2 years warranty....so far nothing happened it seems as every time i call him, he says next week.

 

but now his mobile number goes out of service and that's the only contact i have. don't know really where my car is ? no garage address?? he arranged collection so, i don't know really how to get it back?

 

is there some one here can help me that? my worst fear seems to be true that they are scam. he was talking about the bill of around GBP 3000/- but didnt send any invoice, etc so i haven't pay anything yet.. however, i would like to get my car back asap with or without repair as it seems now.

 

thanks for your assistance in advance !!!!

hi saints60,

 

the number that i used to talk to Lea, is out of service now. tried the other number, which he finally answered and said, the same old story that the car running into multiple issues and should be ready by next week. he has been promising this since last june that car will b ready by next week !!!

 

i don't know really they are repairing it OR using it !!!!

 

i don't have their address as the online website ,1st choice (from where i got to know about 169UK) does not show their full address, just Essex and phone number..

This is his address: 4 /18 burnt mills road north Benfleet Essex SS12 9JX

 

Also, this is Jack Wilkinson’s number (I believe he is the owner of the business): 07496 028098 and this is Jack’s wife, Jennifer’s number: +44 7908 672220

 

Your car should be at this address, obviously it isn’t (or wasn’t, as you have received this fine).

 

If you report it as stolen from 169UK address, then the police will look into it and hopefully you’ll get your car back.

 

If for any reason they had taken it out of the garage, they would have used trade plates and therefore you would not have received the fine.

 

Everything about this company is fishy!!!

hi Saint60,

 

thanks very much for you as well. but is Lee the same person, impersonate himself as Jack??? i don't know really as never talk to Jack or anyone else, except Lee.

 

so the address provided by you and bluefire69 is the same, so most probably i can find my car rusting there ...

thanks anyways...

regards,

M.

Hi M,

I never had any contact with Lee, so I can’t be certain. I know that Jack is the owner though.

Your concern about your car rusting away is probably a genuine concern. Our Discovery was there for over 12 months and when he finally got it MOT’d , it came up with multiple issues of rusting under the vehicle. It was clean when he took it.
