    • The 3 pieces of mortar that fell on the same day, at the same time, were approx. 25-30cm long and weighed around ½-1 kilo each from a roof that is above the 2nd floor; it is by no means tiny pieces of mortar but large chunks falling from a rather great height. I believe the size and weight is enough to cause serious injury and if it falls on your head, I assume it could potentially be lethal if unlucky, but we don't wish to put that theory to test... We can't in good conscience let a contractor install a patio and a gazebo as it is in the exact spot where the mortar fell, nor do I think anyone would be willing to take the chance. Looking at the roof, there are multiple other remaining pieces from the same 'line' or 'row' of mortar that can potentially fall. The mortar is right underneath the slate tiles on the neighbour's roof and I don't know whether the tiles are also (becoming) lose due to the loss of the mortar. I was trying to upload a photo but it seems it's not allowed. The first contractor to work in our garden in preparation for the patio and gazebo is scheduled to start on 10th June, that leaves the neighbour 5 workdays to sort their roof which is unlikely, so it seems we will have to postpone our patio contractor without knowing when they can come back. We have already had extensive work done in the garden in preparation for the wedding reception and it will become very costly for us if we have to move the wedding reception to a venue (if we can even get one at this short notice) rather than have it at home which was our dream.
    • Is this sufficiant for a letter of claim  ? Letter Of Claim       Reference: Techzone Mobile Phones Samsung A71 Mobile Phone £140 Purchase date 29. 5. 24     I the claimant purchased a 2nd hand Samsung A71 mobile from Techzone Mobile Phone unit 10 of the indoor market at the Potteries shopping centre. Initially the phone worked well until I used the camera and found debris in the camera lens spoiling pictures making it not fit for purpose. I contacted the seller who offered a replacement which I initially accepted but later rejected and wanted a refund in full which the seller refused saying they Do Not give refund is unlawful and goes against the Consumer rights act 2015. Therefore I intend to issue proceedings against you in a county court without further notice unless you reimburse me the above amount in Full within 7 days from the date of this Letter     ------------------------------------------    I think its best if i hand him the letter as posting it might not get through so can claim expenses traveling up there ?   or would it be best to just post and get 'Signed for'  ?   Should i also put in the letter of claim interest added or leave that till the Particulars letter ?

    • Sorry to shatter your leftie dreams 🤣😂🤣😂     Donald Trump gets a SIX-POINT bump in approval after being found guilty on 34 counts according to snap Daily Mail poll: 'I think it was a waste of taxpayer money' WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Teflon Don rides again, according to an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com which found that the guilty verdict in Manhattan... James Johnson, who conducted the poll, said Trump might be waking up as convicted felon but he was winning over the voters who matter.   Our snap poll of a representative sample of likely voters shows that for most Americans the trial has not changed their deep-set views of Trump,' he said.  'But amongst those who are open to changing their mind, people feel more positive by a margin of 6 points. That is outside of the margin of the error of the poll and we are saying that is significant. 'It extends to Independent voters too. Look at the explanations and it is clear why: people feel it was a politically motivated trial and view Trump as a "fighter" against what they see as injustice.

    • 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.

This my first posting and I have been following Cabot with interest for sometime. In order that we may divert the above friviolities to the more serious nature of this site and forum will you kindly tell me more about the Cabot Fan Club please and its' purpose, what you hope to achieve by using such a vehicle and convince me this is a more serious thread for the purpose of debate in the midst of the Debt recovery industry and that this thread is not just taking over from the now defunct Bear garden.

 

Thank you

Taking over from the bear garden? Oh, dear me no.

 

Th Cabot Fan Club is a collective of Die Hard Cabot fans, as you have probably already surmised. By pooling our knowledge (not all of it on site here in CAG. Big Bad People watch us otherwise), we feel we gain far more information about the activities of this wonderful company than we might otherwise be able to do as individuals.

 

In light of this, it is intended that there will soon be a site dedicated to highlighting the nefarious activities of the Debt Purchasing and Collection industry as a whole. Pointing out in simple terms that the unwary don't just have to take their sh1t any more, and actually have more rights than they ever thought possible.

 

It goes without saying that there will be a primary focus on self help, and hopefully folks will feel encouraged to click on a link to this site to take advantage of even more information, and be able to discuss their own problems in the fashion that us CAGGERS already know and love.

 

The idea behind it really, is to hopefully get these idiots who try to evade laws which exist to protect consumers to perhaps take note of the fact that the general public IS becoming more aware of their rights, and realise that perhaps they SHOULD start to act lawfully from the word go.

 

Hope that answers your question. To which I would like to add... why not start your own thread? I realise that our humour might not be to everyone's taste, but at least with your own thread going, you will have greater say over the content, and the mods are always at hand to weed out unwanted posts etc if it starts to get a bit out of hand.

 

(Curiose too... KMC? Ken Maynard's Cabot Towers?????)

"get these idiots who try to evade laws"

 

Do you feel these people are idiots? People who have built a massive business? Do you really feel a small number of people like yourselves would have the knowledge or detail it would take to bring a company like Cabot to heal?

 

I would like to hear more about your intentions so as to see what 'bottle' you small group have'

 

Convince me...

Certain DCAs have built a massive business from exploiting peoples' fear and ignorance of the law.

 

I know, becuase I was one of them until I found this site.

 

Sadly, every day thousands of pounds are paid to DCAs with absolutely no proof that debt exists, and often as a result of the DCAs breaking the law. Not necessarily Cabot, lawyers!

 

What Seahorse and co are doing is giving the poor old consumer a helping hand to understand their rights. Nobody is suggesting that anybody evade genuine debt; but for the thousands of people who are being bullied and intimidated into paying money we simply don't have then I'm sure the CFC will be very useful.

 

Instead of bitching and moaning, why not add some constructive help?

  • Barclays: WON!!! It took four months but was totally worth it!
  • Cabot: I'm still waiting for an enforcable agreement, more than a year after requesting it. Go on, Uncle Ken, take me to court if you dare. You know you want to!
  • Elephant.co.uk: VICTORY - they admitted there was no debt!
  • Ashbourne Management (gym membership): Finally got my default removed and out-of-court settlement; I'm not finished with them yet!

<--- If I've been helpful please remember the scales ;)

The very last thing I need to do is convince you. You either give a sh1t, or you don't. Matters not a jot to us.

 

If you have issues with these people, I wish you luck. If you are just here to spread doom and gloom. Well, you know where the door is.

I thank you for your input. Let me explain my reasoning.

 

I am aware that your "Fan Club" has written to one particular Collection firm that I know of, informing them they the treatment your Fan Club members have inflicted upon Cabot and its' management will be forthcoming for them also and that forum members will be advised to follow your instructions if certain changes are not made to collection practices.

 

I am interested in knowing quite what your "Fan Club" philosophy is, how many of you there are and what you intend to achieve. I might be able to assist, I might be able to contribute, I might object to what your are about. Either way I would like to know there is substance, not just for my own personal benefit but for the seriously concerned people who have suffered from Debt Collection Agencies overall who visit this forum.

 

I am just asking you to put your 'mandate' on the table, show me you have some creditability and we can take it from there.

All will be revealed in due course.

 

However, I think you should be able to glean a little of our "philosophy" by simply reading our threads.

 

As regards a "mandate". Fer fecks sake, we're not a political party touting for votes here. All we're trying to do is act in a reasonable fashion with these clowns, and all we ever get back in reply is lies, half truths and a total disregard for the law.

 

Just to clarify.... we're NOT advocating a way to dodge a debt. We ARE trying to get them to behave lawfully and reasonably too. Perhaps if they did act in that manner, they wouldn't be getting the flak that has headed their way over the past few months. They really only have themselves to blame for a few "rogue customers" getting the hump with them.

 

And if this is Sarah trying to get me wound up, you're a Dead Woman!!!! :lol:

Shouldnt KFC towers be concentrating on making Chicken? ..Oh its KMC -- still no bother- I think they'll be better off doing chicken than taunting ole' Seahorse...Unless it's Sarah winding him up, then it becomes funny.
