    • I would have thought so but I'm no lawyer. What did the one that you spoke to say? You could also google about how/when a will trust is set up to get more of an idea before you speak to the original lawyer. HB
    • While I am waiting for the original solicitor to ring back about the will can I ask. After my dad passed they were informed about this an released a copy of the will to me and my brother, should they have set the trust up then as they were informed of his passing?   Thanks again

    • Another one. Apparently this has been hushed up for about three months. They're working through their majority quite fast with all the sackings. Not that they've done anything about Menzies yet but he sounds like a blackmail risk. Here's the original article.   Revealed: Tory MP allegedly demanded campaign cash to pay ‘bad people’ ARCHIVE.PH archived 18 Apr 2024 07:32:33 UTC  
    • and another one   MP Mark Menzies loses Tory whip as party investigates claims he misused funds "According to a source close to Mr Menzies, the MP had met a man on an online dating website and gone to the man’s flat, before subsequently going with another man to a second address where he continued drinking. He was sick at one point and several people at the address demanded £5,000, claiming it was for cleaning up and other expenses." The sum, which rose to £6,500, was eventually paid by his office manager from her personal bank account and subsequently reimbursed from funds raised from donors   Never mind losing whip - how about criminal charges   MP Mark Menzies loses Tory whip as party investigates claims he misused funds WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK The Fylde MP is alleged to have used campaign funds to pay off ‘bad people’ and cover medical expenses   ALSO According to the The Times, £14,000 given by donors for use on Tory campaign activities was transferred to Mr Menzies’ personal bank accounts and used for private medical expenses. The MP, who is one of Rishi Sunak’s trade envoys, is also said to have called his 78-year-old former campaign manager at 3.15am one day in December, claiming he was locked in a flat and needed £5,000 as a matter of “life and death”.   Hes supposed to use funding from Taxpayers and doners for a life of service, not funding a life of drink and debauchery Hope his parliamentary expenses are also investigated.   In fact, perhaps Mr Bates next role in life should be as an independent investigator of Parliamentary expenses?

    • 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.

My first advice is that you should discover the paragraph return key on your keyboard and also try using some punctuation and new sentences.

It's not a joke.

We work very hard here and your question as posted was nearly impossible to read, took a long time to do so and discourages any effort or goodwill on the part of others.

 

Secondly if you take the trouble to read some of the other posts on this YB forum, you will find that exactly your scenario has been played out several time before and that the suggested course of action has already been explained.

I see from another thread that you are asking about Oldham Court. This should be of interest to you.

Thanks Caro, very interesting I am hoping that the recent judgement by Judge Cooke will not influence any other Judges.

 

I am also doing my sons partner's reclaim of charges, still waiting for 12 months statements, the 40 days is up on 26th May, so far the charges come to around £3000 excluding interest and i am sure there will be about another £1000 on top of that, as they really struggled when the children were born she banks with TSB.

Her's will also be at Oldham County Court as I am sure TSB will not pay out, they are filled with false confidence at the moment

 

I am going to look on the site about claiming PPI back, as I recently found out that she had been paying the Select account fee for the past 6 years, currently £7 per month, she was unaware of this and had never requested the account (trying at the moment to get back the 6 years from TSB).

A recent letter from TSB said that she agreed to this when she was granted a loan in April 2001, she cannot recall being told about the select account and is pretty sure she did not sign for it, she said she was forced to take out a PPI wich was over £700 on a £5000 loan.

 

I would just like to thank everyone who works on this site, you really have given people inspiration and confidence, i could not have got this far without this site, there is still along way to go but all the information is here and I will see the cases through to the end win or lose.

You'll win. You are forgetting the Lloyds case was the first they have won, and I understand is to be appealed as there were some questionable issues with the case. There have been thousands of others that have been settled and there is no reason that yours won't be a winner.

 

I too am starting a claim for my husband against Lloyds TSB, and have a thread in that forum, where I'm sure you would find more specific advice and support on that claim if you start a thread there. There is also a PPI forum.

Sent prelim requesting charges of £527 back on 27th April (delivered by hand) had the usual bog off letter.

Hand delivered LBA 13th May they have until Tuesday taking into account the bank holiday. if no refund I will be filing at court on the Tuesday on behalf of my son of course.

Has any one else had any problems trying to access MCOL once you have lodged a claim.

 

I have been trying for nearly 2 hours to get back in to see any progress and it is very slow on log in then it says page not found, I have now been locked out for 2 hours, I am entering the right details but can' seem to access the claim.

Managed to get back into MCOL it must be a very busy site, the claim was issued 31st May & Acknowledged 5th June, they have 28 days now.

 

Today received a gesture of goodwill offer from Solicitor in Leeds for £200, going to reject the offer as charges are £527 plus interest and £80 court costs so far which equates to over £700.

 

Just another big thank you for all the people who run this site.

Just seeking clarification on how long YB have to file their defence, the MCOL claim was issued 31st May (deemed served 5th June) YB acknowledged 5th June, is the 28 days from the 31st May or 5th June.

 

Thank you

My son contacted bank today to ask when he will be getting the money, he was told they have got 40 working days to pay, is this correct, he has not yet cancelled his court case until the money is in the account.

That's a new one on me. I suggest that your son writes and reminds them that the case is still on going pending settlement, and that if they don't pay up within 7 days, he will continue with his claim, including interest to the date of settlement. Thank goodness he didn't sign the discontinuance notice.

Just an update, my son received his cheque on friday,they may have been prompted by the order the judge had made, it was ordered that by 10th August YB should provide a full breakdown of thier costs by a responsible employee, or thier defence would be struck out and the claimant could apply for judgement

 

I have made a donation today, it is from my own money as my son needs every penny. I would like to urge everbody else to donate and ask yourself would you have had the confidence to take on your Bank without the support of this site, I know that I would not have, even though I have had no financial gain, It has give me great satisfaction to know that I have taken them on and won.(with the help from this site)

 

So please please please donate to keep this excellent site going.

Thanks very much cf. If it weren't for such generosity it would be harder to keep going. I don't know how many know these days, that to begin with, BankFodder and Dave paid for this site out of their own pockets, and the size it is now, that just wouldn't be possible.
