    • I recently bought some trainers from Sports Direct and was unhappy with them and their extortionate delivery and return postage charges. I tweeted about being unhappy, and received a reply from someone claiming to be from Sports Direct asking me to send my order number and email address by pm, so a claim could be raised. Which I (stupidly) did. The account used Sports Direct's name and branding, and a blue tick.  The following day I received a call from "Sports Direct Customer Service", and with a Kenyan number. They asked for details of the issue, and then sent me an email with a request to install an app called Remitly. They provided me with a password to access the app then I saw that it had been setup for me to transfer £100, and I was asked to enter my credit card number so they could "refund" me. I told them I was uncomfortable with this (to say the least), and was just told to ring them back when I did feel comfortable doing it. Ain't never gonna happen.  I just checked my X account, and the account that sent the message asking for my details is gone. I feel like a complete idiot falling for what was a clear scam. But at least I realised before any real damage was done. if you make a complaint about a company on social media, and you get a reply from someone claiming to be from that company and asking for personal details, tread very carefully.   
    • The good news is that their PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012  Schedule 4.. First under Section 9 (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; (b)inform the keeper that the driver is required to pay parking charges in respect of the specified period of parking and that the parking charges have not been paid in full; The PCN does not specify the parking period. AS you rightly say the ANPR times do not include driving to the parking space and then from there back to the exit. And once you include getting children in and out of cars especially if seat belts are involved the time spent parked can be a fair bit less than the ANPR times but still probably nowhere near the time you spent. But that doesn't matter -it's the fact that they failed to comply. Also they failed to ask the keeper to pay the charge.  Their failure means that they cannot now transfer the charge from the diver to the keeper . Only the driver is now liable. As long as UKPA do not know who was driving it will be difficult for them to win in Court as the Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. Particularly as anyone can drive any car if they have the correct insurance. It might be able to get more reasons to contest the PCN if you could get some photos of the signs. both at the entrance and inside the car park. the photos need to be legible and if there are signs that say different things from others that would also be a help.
    • Farage rails and whines about not being allowed on the BBC ... ... but pulls out at the last minute of a BBC Panorama interview special. It was denied it was anything to do with his candidates being outed as misogynists and Putin apologists, or that farage was afraid Nick Robinson might throw some difficult questions at him ... despite farages recent practice at quickly cowering in fear.   It was claimed 'it wasn't in Nigels diary'     Nigel Farage pulls out of BBC interview at last minute amid Hitler row WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK ‘Panorama’ special postponed as Reform UK party faces row over candidate who claimed UK would have been ‘better off’ if it had...   Waaahhhh
    • i'd say put lowells to strict proof of where the payment came from. cant hurt to send SB letter, even if proved not. at least they get your correct address. they'd have to link the old IVA times scale to a payment  these IVA F&F pots (if thats where it came from) most mugs dont even know they are not only taking most of your payments on fees but also creaming money off to supposedly offer F&F's.  funny when the IVA fails or is complete these sums of money in F&F pots never get given back or even mentions... these IVA firm directors esp with regard to knightsbridge and creditfix were fined and struck off more times than Paul Burdell of Link Fame and still managed to continue to scam people.

    • 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.

Hello,

Thanks for looking. I wasn't quite sure where to address this but will try and explain as best as possible.

Quite some time ago I started an additional work to my current retail work. It is purely at home employment with an online company. I won't go into it fully but it involved being on a platform and answering messages which earnt me 10p per message. It didn’t take long to send one message so monies were earnt quite rapidly in my spare time at home.

I found myself as of late not having the time to do this so on the 1st April I emailed them to quit. They normally pay around 5th-9th of each month so they emailed me back saying I would be paid around 9th April. They owe me approx £75-100, (there is no way of knowing since each month they archive) which I know isn’t a lot, but mine and earnt none the less.

Money wasn’t paid in when they promised. I emailed them around the 15th April to remind them – no reply. And again, on the 31st, again no reply.

Now, I’m posting here because you folks rock J and wondering if there is anything I can quote from the law etc to email them and get them a little scared so they eventually pay me!

Do you have a contract with them? And do you have a record of the jobs done that have not currently been paid - you imply not, but could be quite important.

hi, no, no contract, you are essentially self employed.

 

no record of jobs done either- after my first month working for them when they paid me 145.00 they introduced a roll over system as they claimed it was more money to them having to pay people who earnt under 150.00 aqnd then they would roll it over until you make that and then theyll pay you. over the next 4 months, every first of the month the wiped the statistics board availible on your account via their website and when i emailed they insisted it was kept as a running total and i would not lose any money. i know it was approx 20.00 the first month, nothing the next as i was offline, and approx 40.00 the 3rd month and about 20.00 the 4th and then i quit, still not having made the 150.00.

You may struggle. However, you should still have a contract, as even if you are "self employed", they are using you as a subcontractor I would imagine.

You could write a letter outlining your grievance & give them 7 or 14 days to respond. Do you have a postal address for them as well? Always worth sending a paper copy either recorded or special delivery & keeping a copy for yourself. After this your only other option ( I would think ) is to issue LBA & prepare to sue them via county court.

 

Someone else on here would probably be better p[laced to advise on your chances of success going this route but an LBA may do the trick... best of luck :)

i just emailed them. im scared lol.

 

 

my email:-

 

*****

 

I am writing again following 3 previous contact attempts with regards to the money owing to myself while i was under contract as a chat operator for your firm, MyTxt.

 

On the 1st April I emailed Peter to let him know i was standing down from my position and he replied to me CC-ing Chris to tell him to pay my money owed. By my calculation the latest i should have recieved my payment was the 13th April, giving the extra time due to Easter.

 

Following this time I again contacted as a gentle reminder, this email went ignored.

 

On the 30th April i emailed again saying i required payment with this months "batch" which again should be cleared through banking no later than the 9th. Again my email was ignored.

 

I require immediate payment of this money. If you do not pay me in full within 10 days, I shall begin a claim against you for the full amount plus interest, plus my costs, without further notice. If you do not intend to pay me you must therefore disclose what monies that are owed to me, or i will be using an estimate from hours worked.

 

For your reference my banking details again:

sort code:

account number:

account name: mrs sarah

 

I look forward to your reply.

 

 

Yours faithfully,
