    • If the legendary dx could offer his wisdom it would be greatly appreciated 
    • Hi there Manager for our soccer sixes team moved overseas mid season and we struggled for numbers so we told the ref about 5 weeks prior to seasons end that we would see out these games then be done and he told us he’d ’pass the message on to the relevant people’. Heard nothing, then 3 days prior to the new season beginning we were given our fixture for that weekend. Told the guy over text we had pulled out and the ref should’ve passed a message on but we were told sufficient notice wasn’t given and it needed to be in writing. I argued it’s not our fault the ref didn’t do as he said but we were countered by the T&Cs.    now being chased for what was £608 kindly reduced to £476 to pay off remainder of the season. Been sent a letter in the post from their accountancy team and told needs to be paid by Friday.   seen a lot of the other threads saying we can literally just ignore everything but im concerned about debt collections and credit score being harmed. Can anyone confirm if this all works/what we should do?   thanks
    • Hi,   I have given an official police witness statement for the prosecution in an upcoming criminal court case, and I am very anxious about what might happen.  Specifically regarding being cross-examined.  My statement is very short, and only a couple of paragraphs long, regarding a conversation I had with one of the victims.  I have tried to research online about what information about me the defence barrister might be able to find and use to discredit me.  I have by no means have a shady past but, I am concerned about what private information might be brought up, and as this is a case that will be in the national press as it is in the public interest.  The two preliminary hearings were reported in the papers.   I have tried to research  online what information the opposition can seek, but it is all very complicated.  I believe that they can legally access public records, but I'm not sure what information public records hold.  Can they access my medical records, educational history, HMRC, and Department for Work and Pensions? (I am a self employed sole trader).  I was arrested once, and this was unfortunately instigated by the victim in this case, so could well be of interest to them.  It resulted in no further action, however I have only discovered this week that that, in fact, this means I have a criminal record, and will be so until I am 100 (no chance)! This has really annoyed me to say the least, especially since I asked him afterwards why he rang the police and he said 'for a laugh'.  So I have started to look into applying for it to be deleted, but again, if anyone has any advice on this I would be appreciative. At the moment, my name isn't on the confirmed list to give evidence, but the detective I have been dealing with has said it is 'likely'. The names of the victims in this case will not be allowed to be reported, are witnesses fair game for the press? I really need no know how deep they can delve in to my life so I am prepared if my character gets assassinated in front of the nation. I really wish I'd never agreed to this.   Many thanks
    • A belated thanks dx. Yes I may take your advice regarding StepChange. I am finding that I am telling them (on behalf of my Son) the true balances outstanding? They never seem to check properly in which worries me. If I was to take on myself is there another way of dealing with various debts? I have already submitted other IRL complaints on his behalf. Today I have received a further response from Quidie T/A Fernovo confirming that they will waiver all interest paid.
    • Good evening  Case hearing this Friday 26/04. looking to have all my prep/papers ready.    just checking in to get update on my last post , ( the t&c’s attached). No name or address on them as per #49   thank you UCM

    • 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.

wow lucky you - you get two offers when most people are waiting for one!!! lol

 

now what u are asking for is 'permission' to rob the bank - yeah i know, how tempting is that... but at the end of the day they'll catch up with you so........ be honest i'd say (that's only my opinion).

 

oh heck what a tuffy - after all the c**p they put us through, it seems like a prayer answered that you could give them a taste of their own medicine lol.

 

fraud, deception.. i dunno

it's a bit dodgy but I guess you could plead ignorance? I'm not brave enough to do anything like that though!

 

It happened to my mum, she had her own business. A large client paid an invoice twice £6000. She told them on so many occasions that they'd overpaid. They never claimed it back. She put it into a savings account and left it there for a couple of years. Then spent it!

 

Do what you think is right. But make sure you could pay it back if needed!

:) Won the following claims thanks to this site...

 

£250.00 RBS - after 2nd letter

 

£140.00 First Direct - after 2nd letter

 

£393.32 Alliance and Leicester - filed claim on MCOL and they paid up within 2 weeks

 

£2218.28 HSBC (for hubbie) - filed claim on MCOL and they paid up after 3 weeks

 

:D nothing more to claim now and O/D and Credit Card paid off with proceeds of claims.

Hello Folks.

Although mrdoran has edited his/her posts what was being suggested is wrong, and is not supported in any way by CAG. You should claim back what you are owed, no more. If there is a mistake, they will catch up with you.

After having the day to think about this and as much as it would be lovely to have the extra money I will always be worried about spending it as i'm sure it will come back to bite me in the a** when I least expect it.

 

Looks like I will be holding my hands up on this one and contacting them in the morning. Still don't think they deserve it though...:D

you showed us yours - i'll show you mine - never been told in public before - when i was doing my son's claim - it had dragged along - they offered, he accepted, money wasn't coming as quickly as he would have liked so he rang - they said the cheque was in the post (yeah, right!), he said that wasn't good enough and they put the money in his account that day! three days later - guess what came in the post - and it was unbelievably a handwritten cheque to him from some account - for all the world looked like something you'd write to the plummer - not like any bank cheque i've ever seen. well, we were tempted - especially to put in onto the managed loan (there seemed a certain poetic justice in that!), anyway, i pm'd two people on the site whom i trusted and the f-word was bandied about (starts with an f and ends with raud!). in the end, we kept it as a souvenir and do you know dear old colin, debs and anyone else - no one ever asked for it back! still have it (crossed off the signature so we wouldn't be tempted) would give it back if they asked - for a price!

i approve of your decision mr.d even though i got here too late to read the details.... i can guess. you'll get yours! (i believe in karma).
