    • As i don't have any mitigating circumstances other than trying to save pennies, will they fine me to the maximum? What is the maximum fine they will impose? I honestly don't know how many times i use it.  I will get a criminal record which means i can't find another job? Will they prosecute my partner?   
    • Yes. They won't inform your employer but you may need to. You need to check what it says iin your employment contract. I don't think it usually causes huge problems for most people. HB
    • Good afternoon. I've read a few threads briefly regarding a dmp with stepchange and was 95% complete with setting one up when I noticed the advice of letting things default instead and/or managing a dmp yourself. My current situation is the following £470 owed to Jacamo. Has not defaulted. Currently on a £10 payment plan with them for 12 months. Not sure what to do here £2700 owed to Vanquis - Credit Card. Has not defaulted and I have not missed payments. I am unemployed and even making a £200 payment from my benefit means £80 odd gets eaten thanks to interest. Guessing I let this default and then set up a payment plan after? £2500 owed to Lowell who bought from Very and passed on to Overdales after I ignored them. Last payment to Lowell was 30th November 2022. Plan here was to fight them in small claims court if it ever gets that far, assuming the worst. Any advice is very much appreciated, thank you.
    • will they inform my employer and sack me?  
    • Ok, so they will look back a max of 1 year's record and ask me to tick which ones were used by me?

    • 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.

Awwwww........... I'm so sorry to hear that you can't make it Kev. I was looking forward to meeting up with you again. :( :( :(

 

But I totally understand how you're fixed right now - and my heart goes out to your missus as well Kev. I remember how it felt to be 'overdue' - wouldn't wish it on anybody. So take care of Mrs. Kevboy, as I imagine the poor woman's just about had 'enough' at this point in time. And hopefully, we'll get to see you again soon - possibly with Mrs. Kevboy as well. :)

 

Best of luck hun, pass my very best wishes over to the missus as well please. And fingers crossed that we have a lovely new baby Kevboy within the next couple of days!

 

Lots of love to you both xxx :)

I'm afraid I have bad(ish) news...

 

My younger brother, who is emigrating to Canada in January has decided in his spoiled self that he and his family are coming for Christmas on..... yep U guessed... Saturday 8th December.. And on the back of that, my older brother has decided that the 8th is a good date too, as it will mean he won't have to travel to younger bruv's to say goodbye in January...!

 

I'm afraid I will have to do the family thing given Chris' is emigrating in January. However, given the short notice we've agreed that I can attend the Manchester meet from 4PM until 9PM. So i'll have to leave a little early if you guys don't mind...?

 

Really hope U don't mind...

It's called killing two birds with one stone! We'll just have to make sure that you're not desperately drunk before you go home! x ;)

And if you think you'll find her on that description, think again.

 

First round on her? well, she's short enough, I guess, but she ain't too steady on her pins usually, so I'd rather get a table!

 

Shall I get out the HH photo, Janet? :-D

I can expand somewhat now!

 

Seems they've decided that they want to do the Science & Industry Museum!! :D Sweet!!!

So, were going to do the family thing up until 4pm, then they're going to leave me down there to meet U lot, and I can stay until 1930/2030.

 

Looks like it's all worked out nice!! :)

 

There's just 1 thing I need to ask... Is there any 1 who's coming who's camera shy...?

 

Here's a piccy of me!!
