    • There's a thread somewhere about someone sending the baillifs against Wizzair that is quite hilarious. I would love to see someone do the same to Ryanair. Question is, should you be the one to take that role. You are entitled to the £220, if your flight was from the UK. If it was TO the UK I suppose it is more of a grey area... though the airlines I know have been using £220 as standard. Not that surprising for Ryanair, the worst cheapskates in the universe, to go for the lower amount, and if you forward this to the CEO he will probably have a jolly good laugh and give his accountants a verbal bonus. After all he's the one who said and I paraphrase "F*** our customers, they'll fly with us again anyway". While we would all love to see Ryanair get wooped in court again, I have to join my fellow posters in thinking it's not worth the hassle for (hypothetically) £7 and not sure it will expedite the payment either. It's already an achievement that you got them to accept to pay.

    • 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.

For cases where the standard charges do not apply, DG Solicitors will charge their time on a ‘time spent basis’ at the competitive rate of two thirds of the general market rate. Their current charge rate is £100 per hour plus VAT.

Hi guys,

 

thanks for all the links to DG Solicitors, and contact information. Is anyone aware of an email address for them, or is it best to use a fax?

 

I submitted by claim on Tuesday, and haven't heard from them yet, but want to speed things up a bit. I have my breakdown of costs ready to send so don't want them to faff about for a few extra days for the sake of it...

 

Thanks,

 

WendyN

i faxed them my charges breakdown and got my settlement two days later ;)

 

I received an Acknowledgement of Service claim from HSBC on 30 January, 2007, where they intended to 'defend all the claim'. This was followed up with a request for a fully itemised breakdown of the amount claimed by DG on 14 February 2007. I faxed this information over to them on 16 February 2007. Unfortunately they haven't been so prompt in responding as i have yet to hear from them. No chance getting through via telephone either...It's now 28 February 2007. :-x

it would be best larry if you start your own thread - just look at top of bottom of the forum list for "new thread", it's a smallish blue oblong and press and you are away.

this is entirely normal for them(dg) - as it has now been 28 days from your issue date - can you try to press the judgment button on the mcol? try it. that will tell you if they have entered their defence - perhaps you submitted an n1 in which case you could ring the court to see if they have submitted their defence. so,start your own thread - or we'll never be able to find you - and let us know what you find out - we can help you from this point if we know where you stand.

you could also ring dg to see if they received your breakdown;

here are some dg phone numbers:

0121 455 2111 (Debbie)

0121 455 2701 (Rachael)

0121 455 2196 (Kate)

 

mostly you get voicemail - but you could leave your name, claim no., tele. no. and ask they to get back to you and that you wish to know if they received your breakdown.

Hi all, just thought you might like to know that I am also at the notice to defend stage with HSBC, in the interests of dispute resolution I have attempted to phone them as the date for filing the defence is approaching and they have responded with "we will respond within the guidlines set by the FSA which is 8 weeks" I asked if they were recording the call they said yes so I asked if they viewed the FSA or the court as the higher authority, so they said FSA, I repeated this in about 3 different ways and the response was always "we follow the FSA guidelines" maybe someone who knows someone in the press might appreciate that the banks obviously think they are either above or outside the law !

I received a defence from DG solicitors instructing me that they refuse that HSBC owe me any money what soever.

 

However HSBC sent me on numerous ocasions and on the same day i recioved the defence i received a further partial offer.

 

I am waiting further instructions from the judge can any one help ?

 

I have already sent them a letter objecting to the partial settlement.

Hi All,

 

Have read loads on here and sent my letter requesting my statements which I have never heard back from, so after the 40 days (ie today) I have gone online with HSBC and calculated all charges a total of £3225 inlcuding 8% interest.

 

This letter is going today, obviously par for the course wait 14 days and then send the LBA letter...

 

When should I contact this DG Solicitors group?!

 

:?
