    • It's Hotpoint (but I believe they're part of the Whirlpool group now?). The part was bought direct from them as a consumer.
    • Thanks BankFodder for your latest, I'm in complete agreement on the subject of mediation and will be choosing to decline mediation, the longer timeline is not an issue for me, I will happily let the going to court run it's course. I really appreciate the support from the Consumer Action Group. I'll post the email text I'm sending to Evri's small claims in answer to their recent defence response. Regards, J    email text I'm sending to Evri's small claims in answer to their recent defence response:  
    • Sec127 (3) repealed, now gone. S. 127(3)-(5) repealed (6.4.2007) by Consumer Credit Act 2006 (c. 14), ss. {15}, 70, 71(2), {Sch. 4} (with Sch. 3 para. 11); S.I. 2007/123, art. 3(2), Sch. 2
    • We used to recommend that people accept mediation but our advice has changed. The mediation process is unclear. Before you can embark on it you have to agree that you are prepared to enter a compromise – and that means that you agree that you are prepared to give up some of your rights even though you are completely in the right and you are entitled to hundred percent of your money and even though EVRi are simply trying to obstruct you in order to discourage you and also to put others who might want to follow your example off from claiming and even though they have a legitimate basis for reimbursement. Mediation is not transparent. In addition to having to sign up that you are prepared to give up some of your rights, you will also have to agree not to reveal any details of the mediation – including the result of the mediation – so that the whole thing is kept secret. This is not open justice. Mediation has nothing to do with justice. The only way of getting justice is to make sure that this matter goes to trial unless EVRi or the other parcel delivery companies put their hands up and accept the responsibility even if they do it is a gesture of goodwill. Going to trial and winning at trial produces a judgement which we can then add to our small collection to assist other people who are in a similar boat. EVRi had been leading you around by the nose since at least January – and probably last year as well – and their whole purpose is simply to drag it out, to place obstacles in your way, to deter other people, and to make you wish that you'd never started the process and that you are prepared to give up your 300 quid. You shouldn't stand for it. You should take control. EVRi would prefer that you went to mediation and if nothing else that is one excellent reason why you should decline mediation and go to court. If it's good for them it's bad for you. On mediation form, you should sign that you are not prepared to compromise and that you are not prepared to keep the result secret but that you want to share the results with other people in similar circumstances. This means that the mediation won't go ahead. It will take slightly longer and you will have to pay a court fee but you will get that back when you win and you will have much greater satisfaction. Also, once you go the whole process, you will learn even more about bringing a small claim in the County Court so that if this kind of thing happens again you will know what to do and you will go ahead without any hesitation. Finally, if you call EVRi's bluff and refuse mediation and go to trial, there is a chance – maybe not a big chance – but there is a chance that they will agree to pay out your claim before trial simply in order to avoid a judgement. Another judgement against them will simply hurt the position even more and they really don't want this. 300 quid plus your costs is peanuts to them. They don't care about it. They will set it off against tax so the taxpayer will make their contribution. It's all about maintaining their business model of not being liable for anything, and limiting or excluding liability contrary to section 57 and section 72 of the consumer rights act.     And incidentally, there is a myth that if you refuse mediation that somehow it will go against you and the judge will take a dim view and be critical of you. This is precisely a myth. It's not true. It would be highly improper if any judge decided the case against you on anything other than the facts and the law of the case. So don't worry about that. The downside of declining mediation is that your case will take slightly longer. The upside is that if you win you will get all your money and you will have a judgement in your favour which will help others. The chances of you winning in this case are better than 95% and of course you would then receive 100% of your claim plus costs

    • 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.

This figure sounds like the amount a pay day loan company takes, ask your bank if they have any other details they may be able to tell you if this is a continuous credit agreement or they may have a full name of the company. I would however stop your card say it has been stolen and get the bank to send you a new one in case it has been cloned, also if this is a mistake you can claim the payment back from your bank.

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and let me know, thank you.

I had trouble with myloans but I decided I wasn't going to stand for it. After 5 seperate phone calls and me telling them EXACTLY what I thought of them I chose to contact the financial ombudsman and get them involved. My next step is to get the FSA involved, Even if I dont get the £70 back, I'm going to make them earn it. They have already changed the website and made their charges upfront now (it wasn't when I got had). I feel a bit better to know Im not the only one to get ripped off by them but I hope to be the last! Their phone number is 08454918820. Best of luck with them

I actually am disgusted that I managed to get conned!!! :mad2:

 

To be fair, I don't think it was entirely my fault;

 

I came across myloans via another link which took me into the apply section bypassing the home page stating the £69.99 fee.

 

When I did see this amount mentioned, I thought it was in relation to the company who was offering me the loan.

 

The next thing I get a text message saying "thank you for your payment".

I'm like, who took money for what?!?!?

 

Looked further into it and it is myloan (08454918820 or 01625505465) or Enhance Financial Services, Macclesfield (0871 705 0201) as has shown to my bank.

 

I've tried all the numbers, can't get to speak to anyone,

constantly on hold and then told to ring back.

 

On principle I'm going to fight the bit out. :-x I'm also completing a Visa Dispute which, if successful, can take up to 30 days.

 

Anyone seeking a small loan, please, please, please be careful.

 

I always thought I was savvy now I'm thoroughly embarrassed. :oops:

 

 

Needless to say, they have provided no companies that I would even dream of using and am now getting junk email re loans from companies in Seattle!! :???:

you must have applied for a loan through some website and given them your card details - they take the money and then give you some loan companies to try - massive [problem]!!!! I managed to get money back from one of them by going to their refunds department.

I got caught by this. At no stage was I warned I was entering into a payment service, and my card details were not even entered on that particular site. I just went straight through the VISA chargeback scheme.

 

Funnily enough these companies don't seem to challenge a chargeback...

Hi yes I can help as i have just had to trace them via my bank's fraud team

 

I didn't have an account with them or make an application via them yet they still managed to take the same amount from my account.

 

I today have spoken with the company and here are the details

MYLOANS.CO.UK

ring 0844 288 0444 /0441

and explain that you have not made an application

and you require a refund

they will email you a customer survey to complete as to why you didn't want the loan etc

and jut complete it and send it back

 

they say if you haven't cancelled within fourteen days then they will take five pounds for admin!

 

As i explained to them they had no right to take the payment and because it had taken me almost two weeks to find out who they were they had no right to the fiver either.

 

I hope you are successful as I now sit waiting to find out whether they are true to their word.

I think the word fraud and bank may have helped but I didn't lie as that is exactly how I got their information.

 

I had been stung by these type of people five times in the week before xmas to the tune of nearly £400 ,

one company charging me three times so be careful and good luck. k

Actually it depends on the bank/merchant, all credit card transactions can and very likely will be reversed. Debit card payments are a little bit more tricky, and banks are not obliged to issue charge backs.

 

Many banks will credit the funds to you immediately, then they will send out a charge back letter to the address provided by the merchant. At this stage no funds will have been reversed, the bank will essentially be lending you the money on faith that the claim is valid.

 

If the charge back isn't challenged , the money will then be returned from the merchants account. If it is challenged, or if the bank decide it isn't fraud following an internal investigation, then the funds will not be reversed. At this stage any money given to the client will be taken back, even if this puts them into an unauthorised overdraft (unless of course the challenge fails, which is pretty rare. Most companies don't bother challenging unless they're relatively certain they are in the right).

 

Anyway, sorry for reviving a dead thread but this thread apparently ranks quite highly on Google and isn't entirely accurate.
