    • writing only not email ...end of.. does she want to keep the car?
    • Having another go now. Here is my thoughts on approach with the defence while I edit the WS. Focused around proof of service of CCA required paperwork, referring to s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925, and this section (my highlights) "Any notice required or authorised by this Act to be served shall also be sufficiently served, if it is sent by post in a registered letter addressed to the lessee, lessor, mortgagee, mortgagor, or other person to be served, by name, at the aforesaid place of abode or business, office, or counting-house, and if that letter is not returned through the post-office undelivered; and that service shall be deemed to be made at the time at which the registered letter would in the ordinary course be delivered." Having a photocopied letter only in exhibits is not proof it was serviced. Strict proof? Proof of postage/receipt? Or, am I missing the point with the above please? And somehow arguing the agreement looks smelly.. like I could have typed it up myself. - not sure how this can be argued correctly, but it's just a piece of paper with my name on it, I think having a judge decide is a perfectly reasonable thing for a person to do if they don't think it's right. As it's my first court case and potentially many to come, I'm keen to experience it (or one of the first ones), I can afford to argue this one in court. I will also benefit from seeing this through for future decisions I will have to make.. rock and hard place With all of that said, and taking dx's advice, I'll TO if attractive and maybe do court on future ones that have a greater chance at success.
    • Back in 2019 this forum helped me to get free of Payplan and through some CCA letters dispense with a number of old debts. One related to a Barclays Overdraft from the early 00s, last payment through PayPlan was 04 June 2019. I have informed Drydens in both May 2019 and June 2023 of change of address. No letters beyond a confirmation of the change and a request for finanical details, which ive ignored. Today ive just received 2 letters from them that look like notice of assignment, or confirmation of appointment letters - along with the usual requests for payment and mild threats of further action. What i was wanting to know is do i just ignore these as per usual? I know that i cant CCA an overdraft debt but what is the usual "plan" for dealing with old overdraft debts? Am i trying to run the clock down until June 2025 when it becomes statue barred?
    • put selling and dca's and a very rare chance of a court claim out your mind. months/years if at all. but never ignore a letter of claim. as for the rest, to be frank you are now in the knowledge/research stage. a day.  
    • Upcoming changes to DRO rules The rules to qualify for are DRO are changing on 28 June 2024. From this date, the maximum level of debt you can have for a DRO will increase from £30,000 to £50,000. Another change on the same date will mean you may qualify for a DRO if you have a vehicle worth less than £4,000 (the current limit is £2,000).   Debt Relief Order Unit Insolvency Service Phone: 0300 678 0015 Email: [email protected] Individual Insolvency Register www.insolvencydirect.bis.gov.uk/eiir/ Insolvency Service www.gov.uk/government/organisations/insolvency-service   .   .

    • 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.

Due to a lenthy illness (four months) my employer sent me a letter of termination.

There was no interview or prior notice of termination, just your finished!

Sadly I had not been there for the required year for wrongful dismissal but believe I might have either an unfair/discrimination case but how should I proceed?

CAB say see a soliciter which I did but do not seem to get much help.

Hi

There is no qualification period for wrongful dismissal though there is if it was unfair. (But not always)

There is no qualification period for discrimination either.

On what basis do you think you were discriminated against?

Hi there

 

What does your contract of employment say? Normally there is a grievance procedure set down by employers that employees can take.

 

Have a look at your contract of employment and see what is says also regarding illness. If you can prove that your illness was genuine and can back it up with doctors lines and also that you would be likely to be well enough to return to work then I think you have a case.

 

Check your contract of employment first and let us know what it says.

 

Kind regards

OK Guys,

Here goes the cantract said 1 weeks notice either way (not recieved)

Worked 1 week in hand not received.

No payment in lieu of notice received.

 

Having that they were in possesion of the final sick note (start 20th Aug)

I believe they terminated my employ because I was disabled sufficinently

to be unable to perform my job (class 2 driver) Quote " as we are not sure of your availablility for work) !!

 

Having been in the hire and fire position myself I believe this has been an ill advised and ill thought out termination?

Hi Paul

 

I would agree with you. There are a few points that could be raised here.

 

Firstly the week's notice they need to give you. They havent given you it so you need to be paid for that and also the week that you worked in hand.

 

They may not be sure of your availability for work but it is their duty to find out and if that means having an independent doctor examine you then so be it.

 

I think you should write a letter outlining all your concerns and send it recorded delivery. Also worthwhile speaking to ACAS. The helpline number is at the top of the page.

 

Good luck

Gemspan

Its Also Really Importnant To Note That You Are Not 'sacked' Until The Date They Notify You Of This, So Its The Day You Received The Letter From Them, Not The Date The Letter Was Written Or Sent. Its Illegal To Sack You Retrospectively. Mel Xx

Take Someone With You To The Meeting, Dont Go Alone, Preferably A Union Rep And Note Everything. Make Sure The Date On Ur P45 Is Legal (that Its The Date You Got Your Terminaton Letter Or After). Dont Agree To Anything At The Meeting, Inform Them You Will Accept/decline By Post Upon Taking Legal Advice Of The Discussion At The Meeting.

Sorry If This Info Is A Bit Basic, I'm Going On Previous Experience, And Advice Given To Me By My Recently Deceased Mother (who Was One Of The Uks Top Employment Law Advisers!) A Lot Of Employers (and Im Even Talking Big Ones Who Spend 1000s Training Their Hr Staff On The Latest Practices, And Have All The 'equality In The Workplace' And 'positive About People' Awards) Are Still Clueless And Will Try And Palm You Off. Good Luck, And Let Me Know How U Get On!

Oh Yeah, And Dont Accept Their 'disregarding That Last Letter They Sent'. Looks Like Theyve Realised Their Mistake And Are Trying To Claw Themselves Out Of It. Thats A Reciept For Some Recompense For You To Claim!!!

Just a small note, has you HGV been suspended or do you still hold it?

 

If you no longer hold an valid HGV then most drivers contracts will have a point stating you must hold a valid licence.
