    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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.

Bugger. I'm in London (I think) on the 14th.

 

The good news for travelling members, the Prince is about 30 seconds' walk from Central station. The bad news is that there is a Travelodge a short walk away. ;)

I have a prior engagement with Mrs Slayer that day unfortunately.

 

It also clashes with a colleagues stag weekend in Blackpool and when I mentioned this to the dear lady and hinted that I may prefer Blackpool to an evening out with her, the answer was "Do what the **** you want".

 

I don't think that actually means what it sounds like:o so I won't be going to either Blackpool or Cardiff I'm afraid.

Advice given is either my experience or my opinion and is given without liability. If in doubt, consult a qualified professional.

If you PM me for advice I will only reply in your own thread

 

Never under estimate your ability. I won over £17,000!

Good day but bad rendezvous!

 

Brains used to have their brewery across the road with The Albert next door yet Wetherspoons used to sell Brain's beer much cheaper than The Albert, or any other Brain's pub in Cardiff. Why?:confused:

 

Stale beer!:p All the dregs were/are farmed out to the said chain of pubs and never again would I ever drink in these establishments and risk a long night on the lav!:mad:

Biggest pile of BS I've ever heard from someone not working for a bank.

 

J D Wetherspoon plc practically rewrote the book on cost-efficiency for the licensed trade. Low-maintenance furnishings (many tables wipe-clean), huge-scale bulk buying (better rate for pub, better NPV for brewery), no music (saving up to 700 x £700 in royalties to PRS), no sound on TVs (apparently means they pay Sky a good deal less) - lots of small cost savings across the board add up to very big cost savings, all of which is why they can afford to vastly undercut the opposition (by as much as £1/pint in some cases - most usually the posh clubs filled with pretentious and wannabe-pretentious types), yet still turn a healthy profit.

 

Nothing to do with buying substandard product, though a bad batch will hurt them more than most others. In my long experience, anything substandard at a JDW pub tends to originate within the pub (such as taking a well-laid out chocolate cake and ruining it in a microwave).

There's nothing worse than a spoilt choc cake!!:o

Seriously, I don't drink beer, never have, much prefer breezers me:p

 

 

OK, I popped on to update...

So far I have had 4 definates and 2 maybes, with at least another 10 to get back to me. I will send reminders out to the ones who haven't got back to me next weekend. I also intend to get into Cardiff soon, to go check out the venue, get an idea of the layout.

 

I am looking forward to meeting you all:D

Hello again folks, seeing as I had to go pick up some N1 forms from the court (is it just Cardiff, or have all the courts stopped supplying the whole info package and just giving out the bare minimum of paperwork?) I decided to go check out the Prince of Wales yesterday...ended up staying there all afternoon:D I'm glad I picked it, the staff were friendly, there's a great area where we can use as a meet point (I also found out that I may be able to reserve this....more details to follow nearer the time.)

 

As the 14th is a problem for alot of members, how would you all feel if we change the date to Sat the 7th? (apologies to all who have said yes for the 14th, I'm just trying to be a bit flexible to suit everyone;) )

 

If this is a suitable/unsuitable date, please let me know:)

 

Diolch yn fawr:D

This date seems strangely familiar. It may have come up while I was looking to see when the major events (of the shut-down-the-entire-city-centre variety) were happening. It may also have come up randomly in a conversation of no relevance whatsoever, though. ;)

Hi all,

 

I'm living near Pontpridd and would love to meet you all on the 14th. How many are attending? I'm a bit shy though:oops: ha ha

Hi, and welcome aboard!:D I just checked my PM's and the thread, so far I have 8 definates (incl me) and 3 maybe's...hopefully there will be more, as there's still a few to get back to me and maybe one or two who've not posted their interest. However many/few we have it should still be a good day. I'm a bit shy too (yeh right) but a couple of drinks down my neck and I'll be completely the opposite:o :D
