    • I applied to the Court to act as litigation friend has my son is Severely Mentally Impaired and sent the proof they requested from his GP so I thought this might have been accepted without a hearing. I cannot believe the claimant is still convinced my son was the driver.
    • I had to call an ambulance for my wife, but one of the paramedics was not happy, about the condition of our house, as it's cluttered. And he  would only see to my wife, on the ambulance itself. After diagnosis they took my wife to hospital. My wife was ill for a few months, and received help from the district nurses. We then got a call from a social worker, who wanted to visit us, and discuss ways to make my wife more comfortable. When I asked for more details, she became vague, but could give us a phone number, if she visited. I politely declined her offer, as I was coping, along with my daughter in caring for my wife. Then a letter arrived from another social worker, saying similar things, to the first. I didn't bother to reply. Another letter has just turned up, from the social services legal department, which doesn't say anything specific, but refers to the other social workers trying to visit us. Coming from a legal department, has badly upset my wife, who's recovery was on going, and she now fears that someone will be coming to the house, to do whatever. Do we have to respond, or take notice of these people. Also we recently had a fire prevention officer come and fit, smoke and heat detectors. He didn't voice any concerns with the conditions at the property. Worried, Paul.
    • By not sticking to the deadline which you set you have lost credibility. Your letter of claim becomes one of hundreds of others which they receive and which they put in the bin because they think that you are just bluffing.  
    • 05.05.24 Ever so sorry if I have entered this in the wrong part of this website.   My grandfather is in his 70's and retired.  He asked me to help him find a work pension that he was paying into when he was working. From 1967 - 1982 he worked for a Fabric Dying Company, Celanese, Spondon Derby UK. I have already used the GOV.uk Trace Pension Scheme. It listed a few pension companies : Akzo Nobel (CPS) Pension Scheme formerly Courtaulds Pension Scheme.  I do not fully understand how this works but I think this scheme is administer by a company called Willis Tower Watson. We have called this company, got through to the pension department submitted all my grandfather's details (D.O.B. , N.I. no. etc.) but that agent tells that they have no record of my grandfather and ask what is the name of the pension scheme. Here is the problem, his home was burgalled in 2005 and a briefcase which contained his legal documents was stolen. So he does not know who was the Pension Scheme company. I have a this phone number 01332 681 210 for Celanese but it just rings and never gets answered. So I am asking for help if anyone can tell us where we can try next. I am also hoping for a massive long shot that one of them members on this website, worked for or knows someone who worked for British Celanese Spondon Derby and could tell us of any pension company. Thanks for any help.

    • 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.

Please Please bring chat room back why should so many be deprived by one stupid person

 

We can't bring the chat room back until its been checked and all security is tight in there .Also we will be helping the police with their enquiries so at the moment it would not be correct to open it .

 

We are hoping the closure is only temporary as you are correct why should users who have acted responsibly be deprived of this sites facilities , that is one thing we are all in agreement with .

Churchill said it best

"Never in the history of the fabulous CAG chatroom, has so much been spoiled for so many by so few in such a short space of time for so little gain. Never again will the yoke of mis-placed trust deny our fingers their right to type to our friends at any hour of the morning...we will type to our friends, we will type to those strangers who are yet to become friends and we will type just to make ourselves heard above the oppressive financial institutions.......we will defend our CAG whatever the cost may be.

 

We will never stop cagging!!"

WOOF WOOF for Michael B.

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.

 

Ok, that is my wisdom done! But more useful quotes for the CAG chat room chant back encouraged! Share with those that view the pages what was learnt - ?

I for one learnt that there is a bed before 3am!

I respectfully accept Janets comments that it is being remedied and there are valid reasons for it closure.

- just nagging helps.

LOL of course being friends with anyone isn't a crime but posts that are xenophobic in nature are not acceptable and the constant sniping at our volunteer staff even less acceptable .The thread was being left open by us even though it was off topic but some people decided to use it as a platform again so thread was closed .

Hopefully this thread will not be used in such a way and can be left open .:)

I doubt that is the issue Mooch - but why in every thread do people have to go on about him.

 

PM's the way to go....I don't even know who he is and starting to not like him as its some of the contraversy....

 

Again -- I fail to see how the Mods have to justify themselves for decisions made to keep the site safe.

 

Sighs.............................I think the name should be a naughty word and eradicated from debate.

I wasn't asking for justification well not really.. I just like knowing why.

Hope you don't mind me posting my favourite Churchill quote:

 

Churchill v Lady Aster

 

Lady Aster: Winston, you are drunk

Churchill: Yes, and you are ugly. But in the morning I will be sober.

 

Gotta be the best put down ever...
