    • wont go near it with a barge pole as its ex gov't debt.  
    • Thanks, I've had my fill of this lot. What makes me so mad is that I had to take out student loan to get any DHSS help. And then when I tried to help myself and family they presented obstacles. Might be worth passing story to RIP off Britain?
    • there is NO exposure if you simple remove your name address/ref numbers etc from docs, over 10'000 pdf uploads are here. which then harvests IP addresses off of the people that then do so..which is why we do not allow hosting sites. read our rules and upload carefully thats exactly why we say capture as JPG, redact, then convert/merge to one mass PDF. then online sites to achieve that we list do not leave watermarks.  every once in a while we have a user like you that thinks they know better...we've been doing it since 2006 with not one security issue. thank you.
    • was at the time you ticked it  but now they've still not complied . if you read up, here , you'll see thats what everyone does,  
    • no they never allow the age related get out, erudio are masters at faking supposed 'arrears' fees which were levied before said date and thus null its write off. 1000's of threads here on them!! scammers untied that lot. i can almost guarantee they'll state it's not SB'd too re above, but just ignore them once sent. dx

    • 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.

Before you read further sorry it's so long.

 

Problems with talk talk started quite quickly, my dad signed up and pursuaded me to do it too. I am an employed by one of their rivals so I knew there would be problems for some. So I took the chance and went for it. Bills went down from £27 - £30 with BT so was quite chuffed.

 

Changeover went quite smooth, bb never arrived for nearly 3 months despite my repeated calls chasing it. And by this time I was selling my house and moving.

 

Now the fun began.

 

I contacted TT in May to arrange the transfer, giving our new address. This was accepted and told there would take about 10-days. I said fine and did the move in June. To try and cut a long story short my house is a new developement and had no previous occupant. Weeks went into months and after repeated attempts to get an answer (mostly using a mobile! or when I could going to dads who still had no BB at this time!).

 

Suddenly I noticed on my recent bill that it still had the old number and STD on it and NOW someone had an answer, a nice fellow pointed out that there needed to be an active BT line to connect to. I had moved area. So I ask what to do and he tells me to call BT pay to have a new line fitted £125 and sign up for a new number and pay to break the 3-month min of £18 and THEN TT would appropriate the new number!!!!!!!!!!

 

I paused, letting it sink in. :evil:

 

At no time prior to my move was I informed of any problem taking my account with me. In fact I even asked if moving to a different area was a problem!

 

Answer was short and sweet. NO CHANCE! (some wording has been changed) All this time I was continueing to pay them for a service I had not had for nearly 3 months. My mobile bills had went through the roof too because of this extra usage.

 

I demand they cancel me account forthwith if not sooner and was passed to cancelations, after a huge wait (now despise that jingle!) to have call dropped. Call lasted 55 mins on my mobile as had no other way at that time to call.

 

Next day went straight to dads. First call dropped, next call dropped, third call dropped. Finally I gave up and sent an email which said to expect a response within 10 days. Email had a full listing of all my woes. Their responce was an email saying that they seen I had contacted customer services the day before my email was sent and they "hoped I had gotten a satisfactory response". Another email sent but ignored.

 

Argh!!! Words can not express. Sorry this is so long guys.

 

So I gave up and lo and behold they default me for not paying them as I went straight to telephone banking to cancel their dd. To the sum of £75 or so.

 

Went to BT, new line and very expensive BB connected within 2 weeks.

 

I've had no more contact since their last final demand. How do I sort these guys out, you really can't talk to them and I'm sure like many now that I'm no longer a customer they'll not even give me the time of day.

 

Oh, and dad still has TT. Banned mobiles so he loves how cheap his bill is.

 

* sigh *

 

TT bar-stewards.

 

:evil:

To be fair to TT (just once) they have no ability to install lines - BT needs to do this, and as you were subsequently told, TT can do nothing until the instllation is working, to let them 'steal' it. OF course, the new development could just as easily have a Virgin cable phone line, and TT would still be stuffed, as cable company's are exempt from this obligation to sell on their local loop. Yuo could always try to get out of the contract due to TT's inability to provide the service as originally requested.

Nah, cable stops 7 doors down from me or I would have! And the point is I told them my situation AND the change of are AND that it was a new developement. At every point the said it was fine to move my account, all you can say is massive training issues.

 

But I'm not interested in that anymore all I want is to clear that default off my record, but they won't talk-talk to me. Last time I tried I got a very nice guy who said he'd have to pass me to another dept and my call got dropped. :rolleyes:

Ah, but all this is just down to staff incompetence - these days, that's an excuse that is accepted everywhere. This is one of the reasons I feel dealing with a firm that only has a year or two's experience in wired communications has a long way to catch up with the professionals like BT and Cable!

No, I completely agree, but odds on most customers with TT would get a service they'd be content with. That was the risk we all took, myself included, myself included. In fairness I should have known better as I worked for Telewest and knew fine well TT would HAVE to sacrifice on customer service to meet the demands. Oh well.
