    • How do I 'link' a letter without posting it publicly. Sorry for stupid question.
    • Rather than dsunaks lies, lets look at the reaL Data and real black holes in the UKs budget - all created by the poop Tories   Public sector finances, UK: April 2024   Main points Borrowing – the difference between public sector spending and income – was (a black hole of) £20.5 billion in JUST April 2024, the fourth highest April borrowing since monthly records began in 1993. Borrowing in April 2024 was £1.5 billion more than in April 2023 and £1.2 billion more than the £19.3 billion forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). Public sector receipts grew by £1.6 billion compared with April 2023, however, this growth was outstripped by a £3.1 billion increase in spending over the same period. Since our March 2024 publication, we have increased our initial estimate of borrowing in the financial year ending March 2024 by £0.8 billion to £121.4 billion, now £7.3 billion more than the £114.1 billion forecast by the OBR. Public sector net debt excluding public sector banks (debt) at the end of April 2024 was provisionally estimated at 97.9% of gross domestic product (GDP); this was 2.5 percentage points more than at the end of April 2023, and remains at levels last seen in the early 1960s. Excluding the Bank of England, debt was 89.9% of GDP, 8.0 percentage points lower than the wider debt measure. Public sector net worth excluding public sector banks was in deficit by £703.4 billion at the end of April 2024, a £93.5 billion larger deficit than at the end of April 2023.     and the Tory legacy of financial mismanagement  to be passed on :   UK government debt 2023 | Statista WWW.STATISTA.COM Government debt in the United Kingdom reached over 2.25 trillion British pounds in 2022/23, compared with 1.83 trillion pounds in... - and graph does NOT show the increases as it should

    • uncle, why you think the last 2 years I did not not do this lol - 90% was keeping my partner sane... but after explaining everything and that we have a plan she is feeling a lot better about it.
    • That's very interesting to hear! I received a notification of a CC verification from Coles in Australia on the 12th May - also a Sunday evening. Not having been to Oz for about 30 years I was somewhat suspicious and so immediately cancelled the card. Guess what, it's the one I use to pay Lyca with........... If you've got any further information I'd be interested in hearing it.

    • 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.

Recently a new app for Apple TV appeared on our Panasonic SmartTV.      On opening the app we were taken to a web page showing all the latest films etc and some look interesting.  There was an offer for a free 7 day trial so we decided we would use the trial period to see what Apple Tv was like.  I completed all the details on the Apple TV website which included my credit card number.  We got the verification code and were able to log in and started watching a movie.

About halfway through the movie I needed to pause it for about 5 minutes.  On pressing play again it jumped back to the login page on the TV and displayed a QR code or the option of logging in via your laptop.  On doing this I got the message that I could not login with my Apple id which is my email address.  I thought that perhaps I had inputted the incorrect password so tried 2 or 3 times, but still could not log in.  I then clicked the "Forgot login or password" and needed to enter the Apply id and then a message came up stating that the Apple id was not verified?  I have cleared my cache and also cleared all cookies, but it still states that Apple Id is not verified despite having received two emails from Apple, the first with the code and the second confirming that the account has been verified. 

Unfortunately as I cannot login  I cannot cancel the subscription and it is now becoming a nightmare. To get to the page to cancel you need to download something called iTunes, but as I cannot log into that either I am still snookered. Obviously I want to cancel and do not want Apple Tv to debit out credit card for years to come because Apple will not allow me to login with the Apple id that they confirmed.  Would I be correct in thinking that the bank can block the merchant or maybe even replace the credit card?

Thanks I have tried just about everything suggested, but cannot get passed the Log in Apple id not verified.  Strange as they can send emails to my address?  I even tried logging in from our Samsung table and gets the same response.

It's probably worth calling your bank to cancel the continuous payment authority to Apple then. IT should cancel itself after the free trial :)

Thanks I have done this now and the merchant is blocked.  It does seem to be a common issue with Apple Tv judging by the number of posts on the Internet regarding Apple id not being recognised.
