    • Interesting question regarding what Government accounts opposition parties have access to, before an General Election. From what I understand, Government department accounts that are published are always lagging behind and would not include some amounts which are classified as 'commercially sensitive'.  Therefore opposition parties and Parliamentrary select committees would not have access to accounts which contain real time up to date information. If a new Government have found £20 billion of spending liabilities they did not know about, this could be true, as £20 billion is not that much when you look at total Government expenditure. Government department are making decisions on spending all of the time and it could be the previous Government were planning tax changes and/or spending cuts to balance the books.  Jeremy Hunt has recently said that if the Tories had stayed in Government and held an Autumn budget, it would have been very difficult to cut taxes as some had wanted.
    • Everyone knows the tories were hiding the costs - and even added 4 billion quid to the taxpayers high interest credit card to fund a chunk of the NI tax reduction - prime example - look at how much cost was hidden re the Rwanda dogwhistle -10 Billion quid     and re the handful of rebels on the benefit limit If the disasters (like the Rwanda rubbish) of Tory dogs being wagged by the extremist minority ERG tail doesn't highlight the issues ..

    • Trump instigated that didnt he @theoldrouge despite losing the election - and Biden mitigated as much as he could within his boundaries?   "President Donald Trump ordered a rapid withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Afghanistan and Somalia in the wake of his 2020 election loss"   “The order was for an immediate withdrawal, and it would have been catastrophic,” said Rep.

    • ok your WS is wrong. Paragraph 16 and 17 says  you did not contract with evri but this is not true - see below  Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (c)  Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency post 251 of occy thread - £844 lost    you should also add a paragraph on donough v Stevenson talking about the fact that even without contract there is still duty of care to goods and by failing to deliver this duty has been breached.   Make those changes and post it back up here and I'll check over things again

    • 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.

Tom its well known that if the postman has not logged it as delivered,that it wont show on the website.

Recorded delivery is not what it once was and the prime service now is special delivery which you pay over 4 quid for.

 

I think if you sent your letter 1st class delivery then you can safely assume that within say 3 days it will have been delivered.

 

The banks are not quick to acknowledge reciept of your letter and the first you may hear is when they send you the information.

Hi Again,

 

Looks like I’m in the wrong thread :confused: as I live in Scotland and the law is a bit different up here. Like I can only claim up too £750 in one go and only go back 5 years Grrrrrrrrrr.

 

I also read Fruitycar’s story and that the case for 8% interest was dismissed:eek: ;-

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/scotland/12105-sorry-guys-4.html

 

It just seems a shame that the Scottish part of this site is'nt quite as well organised as the English part

So I have a few questions that are specific to Scotland so bye and Thx for the help so far.

 

Tom

There are of course some differences between the English and Scottish litigation but I am sure that its all covered within the site.

Both sections have been assisting eachother and I know broadly the differences because I have been curious and keen to read up on it.

 

Our ultimate aims goals and successes are primarily all the same.

 

I am sure that despite your claim being in the Scottish legal system will in no way affect your access to all the info you need .....at least on this site !!

I have just 3 questions i can't find the answers to anywhere on the Scoltland fourm or the FAQ

 

1. With the £750 max in small claims, and you decide to go with as many £750's as you need to get the whole amount they owe you, do you claim the whole amount in your Preliminary approach for repayment. or is it just £750 a time?

 

2. Should i go the whole way and get a lawyer and go the summary route.

 

3. Anyone know if i can claim in an Englsh court and get round the problem this way?

Tom they still have time within the rules.

Theres no reason to suspect that you wont get them......there has been very few cases of problems with this bank.

The fact that your fee has been cashed,and that you have had no requests for further information to support your dpa request would indicate that they are processing it.

Dont forget that most of the banks are now working flat out and in some cases just able to cope.

Their own making of course.

You should look at the 40 day deadline and make a note of that.

Called Halifax direct on 01422 380880 and asked to be put through to Adrian Percy at Business Risk-Retail (this was the person who replied to my data application).

 

He apologised for me not receiving the information and said that the automatic request has failed. So he will get it done manually and should I have it within the 40 day time frame but it might take a few days over that and I could complain about it if I wished.

 

To be honest he sounded really helpful :o

 

So it’s more waiting, as always I’ll keep you guys posted…
