    • No problem honeybee13. (It does have a non fee-paying forum).     Piano Cube - note - beware the "tell us about ....good days" bit - on the PIP2 form. It can be very difficult to describe the bad days and one can understate the bad days. Also look up "Reliably" on the PipInfo site Also look at this site that might be useful as ASD can affect eating: WHAT IS ARFID? | ARFID Awareness UK WWW.ARFIDAWARENESSUK.ORG  
    • lolerz -  many thanks for your reply and conforming this. Much appreciated   ---------------------- Stu - many thanks indeed for posting about what happens next with the Order for Possession and the Warrant for Possession. I also read the link you gave and the GOV site basically agrees with what you just said. You perhaps missed the previous post where i mentioned 'There be no order as to costs' - which seems to suggest i don't pay any court fee's. Im unsure if that includes that i dont pay the bailiff fees too. At the bottom section it also says - the claimant can ask , without a further hearing, to authorise a bailiff or High Court Enforcement Officer to evict you. (in that case, you can apply the court to stay the eviction, a judge will decide if there are grounds for doing so.)  
    • Thank you for posting ssett. I'm afraid I've had to remove your link to a fee-paying website, I've left the other one. HB

    • 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.

Trying to find out about Opted out of Serps Pension account.


Recommended Posts

Hi, I am trying to find which company holds my opted out of serps  pension pot.

Myself and my wife both opted out in the late 80's with a company called General Portfolio (if I remember right) due to recommendation from our old boss who went to work with them.


We are trying to find out more information now and have been on the Gov website and it said that we did opt out but no other information,

we did send a SAR to NI HMRC department BX9 1AN at the beginning of May but neither of us have had a reply to this request.

Is there anything else we can do?

Thanks in advance

Thanks HB, I did look but there seems without any paperwork I am unsure who to write to.
If I am right General Portfolio got brought out by Gan in early 90'a, this is why I thought it would be easier to write to the HMRC but they haven't got back to us.

We have had a letter from HMRC saying that the details were with Gan personal wealth plan until 2012 then the details go to my other half's pension with the NHS.

 

It seems that General Portfolio were brought out by Gan then Winsor Life Assurance ltd.

It it just so confusing finding out what has happened to everything.
