    • don't get too hung up on the real meaning of 'fake' in terms of the documents a claimant might produce relating to a potential court claim. by fake we typically mean, they are not obviously the 'real McCoy' ,100% associated with whatever credit they are trying to pin on punters. they are often of the right 'version' that an OC would have used for that particular take out date, but with details inserted in a diff font where they should be for say your name address DOB etc. All DCA's typically  have filing cabinets covering each year for most creditor, whip 'em out, scan and copy n paste your details onto them, even easier now with online sign ups. no hard copies ever sent cause 90% of mugs have lost them..... one of our most powerful tools is the fact any docs they produce, unless they state they are 'a reconstruction'  MUST come from the original creditor noty some hidden pile the claimants have. Link are absolute masters at this so dont stick to lowell threads. dx    
    • Driving home last night I contacted wing mirrors with a car coming the opposite way. The wing mirror folded in and the glass popped out. Very minor damage.  I stopped at the next layby (A road) to repair the mirror. A passerby stopped and said they saw the other car stopped behind me in another layby - they went back and passed over details so we could get in touch.  The conversation started cordially, but quickly got heated when I said I was well on my side and they drifted over (which is what happened).  I wasn't going to bother filing a claim as there isn't enough damage to justify it. So I've said to the other party lets just call it quits as there are no witnesses and we both think we are innocent.   they said they are contacting the police and insurance and that they have witnesses. But a quick facebook search found a post by the other person saying they were in a crash, and were 'spun' off the road. Picture of a broken wing mirror and a slight scuff on the front and rear wheel arch. they are asking for witnesses. I have screenshots of the post, and sent them another message saying I can see you dont have witnesses as you are appealing for them. I'd really not drag this out. Lets call it quits and move on. this was followed by a couple of messages that didn't really make much sense. e.g. 'do the right thing'. What should I do now?  Contact police?  Contact my insurance? - Can I tell them about this incident but say I dont want to claim? Will that affect my premium?  
    • So this is the crux of the argument. The scrappage contribution should have also been counted as a deposit. It was literally a part exchange in return for a cash deduction so there is no reason it wouldn't be treated the same way.  I did not request a VT, I was struggling to pay after a separation from my partner at the time. However had the figures been reflected correctly, the VT cost would have been 2k not 9k and I may have considered it as an option. Instead, the car was marked stolen and removed from my possession by the police
    • LOL - old one the fiver theory - although with the poops its take a fiver now, promise 10p  sometime in the future while claiming the reverse theory   So when is jenrick, an apparent slam dunk as referenced higher in the thread, being referred to the police? These poops need to know that anything they throw will be returned .. with interest  
    • Yup, it isn't a criminal case, it's hard to prove, but take a detailed look at my thread to see how many holes there are in what they have sent me, there is a picture building.

    • 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.

Hi Hedgey,

 

You are obviously working in the wrong dept. You can do meaningful work within a LA. I am a line manager to staff and do add a massive amount to service delivery. I work for a LA Youth Service within a County Council which is very meaningful and rewarding work.

 

Perhaps a dept change may be needed:)

I have to say that my 6 years in Social Services led me to the same conclusion as Hedgey. Worthwhile work, but too many bosses, and not enough delivering services. One of my line managers had the tidiest desk I'd seen before or since, and his days were filled picking horses and listening to the races and cricket on the radio! Oh and phoning the results service on the office phone.

 

BAH HUMBUG :-x

Bathroom re-tiling, of course impossible to find matching tiles, deciding that if it's going to clash, might as well make it look like a voluntary job and not a patching-up, so deciding to redo a whole wall in one colour.

 

Stump (tree, not leg) needs grinding, chap came round yesterday, cheap and efficient... Can't manoeuver machine from alleyway into garden, alleyway too narrow. Chap goes away witn maybe coming back in 3 weeks earliest.

 

Deciding to hire stump grinder instead and do it ourselves. Cheap to hire, but deposit is £300 in CASH or CARD! :razz: Who has that kind of cash lying spare? If we did, surely we'd just pay a bloke to do it!!!

 

So now, having to re-juggle next week's standing orders so we will have enough money for deposit to go through on card.

 

Kids breaking off from school today.

 

And all that on a background of sniffles kindly provided by DH who insists on rubbing against me at times where I'd rather he kept his germs to himself.

BAH Humbug for my eldest son (18 yrs) Who is not allowed a key to our house for various reasons! He arranged to stay at a friends house last weekend and my other son (16) was hiking with explorer scouts. So my husband took me for a romantic weekend away in a posh hotel. First weekend alone since child one arrived. Fantastic weekend. On return found son number one had kicked in front door and had big party. House filthy, lots of damage. So I threw him out only to find he moved in to a flat occupied by theives and drug addicts. As he is not stooped to that level yet I felt compelled to bring him back home before anything happens. BBAAHH HUMBUG for wayward teenage boys. Is it really against the law to have him put down??:mad: :mad: :mad:

Wino, do him a favour and report him to the police for criminal damage, perhaps the shock will bring him back to his senses. We could do with a brat camp in this country, but the loony lefties and H&S wouldnt allow it I am sure, I would sign my daughter up straight away
