Tim Shipman has the inside track on where it all went wrong for Sunak. How Rishi Sunak got stumped: the inside story of a disastrous campaign ARCHIVE.PH archived 6 Jul 2024 23:09:01 UTC -
We were in the UK while we were with the Kings Interhigh. Not now. But I want to do something about it now.
-
We were with King's InterHigh for two years and faced constant issues. Subjects often overlapped, making it impossible for my child to attend all live lessons. Some overlaps were resolved, but a few persisted throughout the year, causing scheduling conflicts and complaints from teachers. So were double live lessons. So the child can access only one lesson, and the other learn from recordings. We pay for online live lessons, not video materials. When we moved houses, my child had her mock exams. But can't submit it despite agreeing to a rescheduled date during a parent-teacher consultation. This left her without mock exams for the year. In the second year, overlaps recurred, and my child ended up with unwanted subjects while missing her chosen ones. It took a month to correct some overlaps and subjects, but overlap problems persisted. As a child misses a month of education, because of the wrong subject, the child is behind. Frequent teacher changes and long breaks (1 hour, 2 hours ) between lessons added to the instability. Despite some compensation only for a first month , they did nothing about some overlaps and the missed mock exams, leaving her year marks incomplete. We also encountered frequent software issues, preventing access to online classes. Communication from the school was poor. When they introduced online exams for GCSEs, I spent two weeks trying to get information. I finally spoke to someone on the last day before high late fees applied, but they were unhelpful and still charged the high fees. My child was left without confirmation of her GSCE exam registration. They then asked me for our permanent address, which I couldn't provide as we were waiting for our new home in temporary home. They were informed about it. When I mentioned a complaint and withheld payment before they resolved it, they blocked my child's access to classes and all materials for 2 years in her cabinet, all her work, in June, and July before the GSCE exams. So she could not revise as she don't have any acccsess to her work or materials. I refused to pay and was really sad and disappointed as nobody called/reply me back about my complaint. I did pay for the last two months when we didn't have access to the material during GCSE EXAMS. A child couldn't revise. So They later claimed safeguarding concerns due to my child's lack of access to (blocked by them ) classes and that they wanted an address and contacted the police. The police explained the situation and said the Kings Interhigh said yo them that they needed to find our address to send sometDespite being an online school, King's InterHigh never sent any materials. They also took a 500 £ deposit towards the bill I refused to pay when asked to complain.We could not do any GSCE exams as no access to the child's 2 years of school work and materials. Paid around 6000£ per 1 year. So around 12000£ for 2 years minus 1000 I refuse to pay. Given these issues, I believe there may have been a breach of contract by King's InterHigh due to the persistent problems, lack of support, and blocked access to education.

Hang on a minute. You came here due to a disputed invoice from Parking Eye. Yet the LoC is from solicitors on behalf of Euro Car Parks. Are you getting two different invoices mixed up here?

Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld
ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,
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-

Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available
BankFodder posted a post in a topic,
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.
