    • You need a back up plan. If you believe that redundancy is very likely, start looking at other employment options.  Don't leave it until you have been made redundant before looking for new employment. I regularly speak to people who have been made redundant and about mental health. Those who have a positive plan, get into employment quickly following redundancy and manage to maintain their finances. Those who don't have a plan, decide to accept redundancy and a period of unemployment. They end up in a downward spiral, with redundancy money spent, debts accumulated, mental health decline and difficulty finding new employment.  
    • Interested observer here as I'm in a similar situation. People become conditioned into seeking and maintaining a perfect credit score/file, but if your situation is that you're unlikely to obtain further credit for the foreseeable future anyway due to your other outstanding debts, then tanking your credit file now won't make a difference other than you've took back control of your finances.
    • Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for their help in this matter. Since my last post I have received a reply from Plymouth Council Insurance Team concerning my wife’s accident (please see enclosed letter and photo of the offending Badminton post) which they deny any responsibility for the said accident. I feel that the Council is in breach of their statutory duties under the following acts: The Leisure Centre was negligent in its duty of care and therefore, in breach of the statutory duty owed under section 2 of the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957. Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (the Act) to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all their employees, and others who might be affected by its undertaking, e.g. members of the public visiting the Leisure Centre to use the facilities. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 that requires employers to assess risks (including slip and trip risks) and, where necessary, take action to address them. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) require the risk to people’s health and safety from equipment that is used at a Leisure Centre be prevented or controlled. I would like some advice to see if my assumptions are correct and my approach to obtaining satisfactory outcome to this matter are accurate. Many thanks   PLM23000150 - Copy Correspondence.pdf post docx.docx
    • Talking to them does not reset the time limit, although they will probably tell you it does, they'd be lying. Dumbdales are the in-house sols for Lowlife, just the next desk along. If Lowlifes were corresponding with you at your current address then Dumbdales know your address. However, knowing that they are lower than a snake's belly, you would be well advised to send them a letter, informing them of your current address and nothing else. Get 'proof of posting' which is free from the PO counter, don't sign it, simply type your name. That way then they have absolutely no excuse for attempting a back door CCJ.   P.S. Best course of action, IGNORE them, until or unless you get a claim form......you won't.
    • A 'signed for' Letter of Claim has been sent today so they have 14 days from tomorrow... Lets wait and see what happens but i suspect judging by their attitude they wont reply

    • 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.

first of all i would like to say well done and thx for a great informative web site :)

i like others have stumped up loads of dosh to these modern day dick turpins and after a few nights of reading posts and stuff i have decided to try and gain MY money back!!! but i am nervous to say the least :) never done any thing like this before im the 1 who sits and takes it NOT ANY MORE!!!:)

A few years ago i even went in and had a meeting with the baNk manager and he was as much use as a chocolate fire gaurd:mad: ,we were waiting for tax credits to be paid into the bank and we were one of many thousands who were

waiting for months for this new revised way of getting paid easier (ha ha ha)NOT!!!

needles to say we then incurred the charges routine which we seem to be forever paying of ,you know the cycle, bank charges then money paid in swallawed up then incur more charges cos you need money to live/pay bills.

 

So today the wife and i went into the branch and requested our statements for the last 6 years ,the woman was really good didnt quibble or nothing she did say there would be a charge which i expected after reading these forums she then said it would be sent of to some department and they would send them out to me in due course.

should i have requested the statements with a recorded delivery as then i have proof cos lets face it we all know how often our paperwork never got there!!!!!

or no record of it

i will give them two weeks and make a phone call to see how it is going whether they are dealing with it or never recieved the request

 

i will keep this post updated as to what happens and if i have done any thing wrong so far could some one point me in the right direction plz???

 

thx in advance for any info or guidance you can give :)

Hi, I don't think you need to send anything other than the preliminary letter from the library. I didn't anyway and so far they have not requested it. If they want to query amounts they have got the records themselves to check. No need for you to do all their work for them!

Don't forget to contribute to the CAG. Without them we would probably still be drafting our prelim letters.

OH Cap One - £436/ So far received £40. MCOL submitted 17/7/06. Caved 4/8/06 for full amount!!!

OH Monument - £140, claim filed 8th May. Requested judgement by default, settled in full 4th July via out of court settlement (see thread). Total £192ish received.

Me Barclays - £630. Received letter 13th May offering £300 full and final (they can bog off). Claim filed 16th May. Acknowledgement of Service filed 22nd May to defend all of the claim. Allocation Questionnaire completed and Stay been ordered by Judge on 18/7/06!!!

Personally I wouldnt, they already know your timescale as it is stated quiet clearly in your letter. If you can jazz up your letter at all and make it a little more interesting for them they may well act slightly in your favour. I wouldnt lik eto guarantee anything though.

check this out!!!!!

 

after i had my standard letter of well reply by the 16/06/06 i got a phone call today 26/05/06 from the debt managemnet team giveing me a rise in my overdraft with a reduceing scheme of £50 pound a month to help me out :eek:

i have asked for this on numeros occasions and been told a flat NO!!!

dont get me wrong this is much needed and appreciated but why couldnt they do this from the beginning?? ,

i also got later that night a phone call from barclays asking if i could do a survey for them and was i happy with there service and was it ok to record the call:eek:

i answered there questions and told them in no uncertain terms that i was unhappy about there punitive charges and they asked what exactly was it that i was upset about with there procedures blh de blah and so forth and that i was unhappy about the lack of help form them untill now!!!

they also asked if i had complained was it dealt with satisfactorly i then said that i was in middle of action at the moment and could not comment on that question at this moment in time.. was this correct thing to say?

 

 

call me suspicous but do you think this has anything to do with my previous letters and threats of court action?????

 

do you think they are actually listening to us now or is this a butter up approach before court?????

 

i am sticking to my guns and i will be sending my L.B.A on the 01/06/06

unless they come up with a full refund

 

i just need some and advice and some comforting words to be honest that i am doing this properly:)

 

sorry if this seems like a long winded post but like i said before i just need reassureing im doing the right thing ?? deep down i know it is but i just want to follow correct procedures so i do it right and dont end up looking like a numpty :)

If the letter said something like "full and final offer", then go straight into claim.

 

If not then you can try accepting their offer but make it clear that you will be pursueing the full amount.

If you are having problems with the spreadsheet, then you need to ask Vampiress about it. She is the spreadsheet guru.

 

Post to this thread.......
