    • The 3 pieces of mortar that fell on the same day, at the same time, were approx. 25-30cm long and weighed around ½-1 kilo each from a roof that is above the 2nd floor; they were by no means tiny pieces of mortar but large chunks falling from a rather great height. I believe the size and weight is enough to cause serious injury and if it falls on your head, I assume it could potentially be lethal if unlucky, but we don't wish to put that theory to test... We can't in good conscience let a contractor install a patio and a gazebo as it is in the exact spot where the mortar fell, nor do I think anyone would be willing to take the chance. Looking at the roof, there are multiple other remaining pieces from the same 'line' or 'row' of mortar that can potentially fall. The mortar is right underneath the slate tiles on the neighbour's roof and I don't know whether the tiles are also (becoming) lose due to the loss of the mortar. I was trying to upload a photo but it seems it's not allowed. The first contractor to work in our garden in preparation for the patio and gazebo is scheduled to start on 10th June, that leaves the neighbour 5 workdays to sort their roof which is unlikely, so it seems we will have to postpone our patio contractor without knowing when they can come back. We have already had extensive work done in the garden in preparation for the wedding reception and it will become very costly for us if we have to move the wedding reception to a venue (if we can even get one at this short notice) rather than have it at home which was our dream.
    • Is this sufficiant for a letter of claim  ? Letter Of Claim       Reference: Techzone Mobile Phones Samsung A71 Mobile Phone £140 Purchase date 29. 5. 24     I the claimant purchased a 2nd hand Samsung A71 mobile from Techzone Mobile Phone unit 10 of the indoor market at the Potteries shopping centre. Initially the phone worked well until I used the camera and found debris in the camera lens spoiling pictures making it not fit for purpose. I contacted the seller who offered a replacement which I initially accepted but later rejected and wanted a refund in full which the seller refused saying they Do Not give refund is unlawful and goes against the Consumer rights act 2015. Therefore I intend to issue proceedings against you in a county court without further notice unless you reimburse me the above amount in Full within 7 days from the date of this Letter     ------------------------------------------    I think its best if i hand him the letter as posting it might not get through so can claim expenses traveling up there ?   or would it be best to just post and get 'Signed for'  ?   Should i also put in the letter of claim interest added or leave that till the Particulars letter ?

    • Sorry to shatter your leftie dreams 🤣😂🤣😂     Donald Trump gets a SIX-POINT bump in approval after being found guilty on 34 counts according to snap Daily Mail poll: 'I think it was a waste of taxpayer money' WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Teflon Don rides again, according to an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com which found that the guilty verdict in Manhattan... James Johnson, who conducted the poll, said Trump might be waking up as convicted felon but he was winning over the voters who matter.   Our snap poll of a representative sample of likely voters shows that for most Americans the trial has not changed their deep-set views of Trump,' he said.  'But amongst those who are open to changing their mind, people feel more positive by a margin of 6 points. That is outside of the margin of the error of the poll and we are saying that is significant. 'It extends to Independent voters too. Look at the explanations and it is clear why: people feel it was a politically motivated trial and view Trump as a "fighter" against what they see as injustice.

    • 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 can anyone help me please post i pm'd you but understand you cant answer to everyone, welcome had a attachment of earnings against me, but as im on long term sick i replied to the court and it was dismissed i only get £64.30 per week to live on, but today ive had a letter from Young & pearce solicitors stating upon review of my income and expenditure i have £59.20 a month disposable income, yeah right i wish then i wouldnt be starving, and welcome will accept £40.pm, and to confirm this with them by monday 1st march2010 our client may instruct us to proceed with action against you, i need a letter to get this set aside as when it originally went to court i never recieved any original orders so couldnt go to court to defend myself, not sure what to do next any help appreciated

 

Tigga - If your circumstances are still the same simply write to them explaining the situation and send it recorded. If they insist on taking you to court it will again be dismissed. The court will not make an attachment of earnings order against you if you are simply unable to pay.

Here is a bit of advice for you all...

 

You take out a loan, you pay it back - simples!!!!

 

You miss payments expect to be contacted to get the payment. You lot make me so angry - you came to Welcome because you CAN`T get credit anywhere else, so before you slag the company off remember if it was not for them you would not have your chavvy houses full of games consoles, 50" plama TV's and laminate flooring!!!!!!!

 

I have nothing else to say so don't bother trying to contact me!

 

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

and now on a more serious note you seem to be missing the point we arent trying to avoid paying we just want to be treated FAIRLY and not bullied and defrauded by a company that doesnt even follow guidelines provided to protect THEM as well as us!! Im guessing Mr Ex WFS Employee is a victim of the hierarchy messing up :rolleyes:

You are correct I am a victim of the messed up heirarchy.

 

Welcome does not have a future and will not be around in a few years, the company knows that. However, all that will happen is your loans will be sold on to other companies. So you naive people who think the destruction of Welcome is in your favour are wrong - you loan will not go away!!!!

 

Dont you have somewhere else to be? Like signing on for a particular payment every couple of weeks?

 

Not that I think your type deserve it....So toodles..Oh yes you should take pride in putting WFS on your CV.

 

PS: JSA only lasts 6 months. Think about it.

 

I have this smug grin on my face right now. The whole "what goes around comes around" senario. Is just so true. My smug grin just got so much bigger!!! You made my day EX WFS Employee

For your information I am not like a Welcome customer I have another job starting March 8th on a salary you can only dream of!!

 

EDIT

 

Yawn.....Now you have the reason why you are no longer are employed and why the company you loved so much is in the toilet bowl.

Poor attitude, poorly educated staff, poor customer service..

 

Enjoy the £3.25 P/hour salary, I am sure you can buy loads of sweeties and chippies with it. You LUCKY LUCKY FISH!!!!

 

Now run along to the few hundred other Ex WFS staff in line at your local benefits office. I did feel sorry for you guys, for about 4 seconds but then I was over it.

Well done ex wfs on demonstrating exactly why Welcome is going down the pan, just think though, they decided that you weren't good enough to even stay on the sinking ship! You must be proud!

 

The people on here are customers, without whom you would not have been employed, if you take time to read some of the posts, look at the behaviour of your colleagues and understand that you were working for a bunch of cowboys then you might have a chance in life of succeeding.

 

I hope your new job works out for you, remember the big shoes, red nose and squirty flower on your first day and you'll be fine. Oh and on the dream like salary, you do know you get paid in spinny bow ties don't you?

Thanks WFS, you are helping our cause no end in the sense of demonstration of the attitudes behind the door of Cattles . . .

 

I often think it is not the workers fault who also have families and are just trying to earn a wage on the only way they know how but every so often like now I am reminded this is not the case as we all have choices in our lives and attitudes.

 

I worked for british gas and Powergen in a quite high position and now work for BT and although I do deal with customers in hardship I do justify myself in knowing I deal fairly with real people and treat everyone as an individual. There are many times I have spoken to a customer and off the record gave them the addy to this very forum as I know they need that extra assistance and as a company we may be doing somthing unlawfull.

 

My job is secondary to doing the right thing, again it is all about attitudes. Now you would say "why you use welcome if you high up in a big company and getting a wage to compliment "reason is I claim no benifits and provide for my wife and 5 children all bills inc mortgage etc, do the maths and it will be clear on my income.

I Was Looking forward to A little chat with our friend Ex WFS Employee ( ****). But you Did the Right thing Ozzy. NO ROOM on CAG for a person like that. We prefer our women to be Strong and Honest.

They really are at each others throats lol,well its there in black and white now about signature lifting and that some area managers new about it obviously

below is one of the postings

 

 

 

more likley the kam just forgot to get a piece of paper signed and then rather than get an arse kicking for not having something signed and not feeling they could get the customer back in to sign it after having paid out the money they forged the signature.

 

I used to work there and it shocked me but it was ell known in certain offices who was good at copying signatures.

 

having come from an fsa audit background i stopped it immeiatley where i worked but sadly that type of attitude was endemic throughout the company...

 

cant get the customer in to sign a rewrite on the last day of the month but the branch needs it doing to hit bonus - well guess what had been known to happen.

 

I bet there are a lot more agreements left on their books that wouldnt stand up to scrutiny
