    • Actually there wasn't a massive amount of work to do on the WS.  The "meat" was there because of the great work you'd already done. Here is a version which I think is nigh-on finished. However, with Easter there are a few days for the other regulars to suggest tweaks. Defendant WS.pdf
    • Hi all, We bought a part to fix our washing machine approx 13 months ago direct from the manufacturer of the washing machine via phone. This part then failed 13 months later, as confirmed by their own engineer, who was sent by the manufacturer (who is also the retailer for the part) FoC. The engineer actually installed a replacement part, the machine came back to life, but they then removed the part used for testing (and ours reinstalled) as "we would be charged for it". The retailer are refusing to replace the part, stating that they only warranty parts for 90 days. When I stated that I believed the Consumer Rights Act gives me longer than that, they insinuated that it did not, and this was repeated by many representatives. AIUI for goods bought more than 6 months ago, I need to get an engineers report to confirm the part has failed? Or that it has failed due to manufacturing issues? Or would the companies own engineers report suffice? Also, does anyone have any other decent contact details for Hotpoint (or the Whirlpool group)? Thanks, GH
    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.  
    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.

    • 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.

hi

 

When i purchased both my cars from Welcome Finance i received what i was told was a free car kit consisting of products supplied by guardex.

 

I have recently found a warranty from gardx supplied by welcome from when i purchased my last car.

 

I have looked through the paperwork that i received when i purchased the car and can find no mention of gardx but have had £300 charged for extras.

 

I contacted gardx on the number provided on the warranty and enquired about thier product. I was told it cost between £300-£400 and was protection of the paintwork of the car and if any damage caused by weather, industrial fallout they would remedy the problem subject to t&c.

 

I quoted the warranty number for my last purchase and it seems that they had no records of this transaction or the previous transaction for my old car.

 

It seems Welcome are supplying this product under false pretences and charging their customer for a warranty that is non-existant.

 

This has happened on both my cars from welcome, so this is not an isolated incident.

 

I can provide evidence that this is a practice that is encouraged by Welcome as i have a document breaking down commission paid to an agent on completion of a sale clearly stating "add gardx to cash price".

 

underhand way of conning Welcome customers out of more money

 

Has any body brought cars with this "free car kit"

hi just jue

 

how did you get on with the fos, i spoke to my local branch manager that clearly stated that gardx was not included in my agreement despite showing an extra for £299.

 

i have been in correspondence with gardx themselves and having provided proof of my warranty under their headed paper are now they are saying my warranty may have been lost in their update of a new data system.

 

my warranty having been active for two years without any contact from gardx officially acknowledgeing my purchase are now saying that as i have not purchased a conserver my warranty is invalid.

 

surley Gardx has to aknowledge rceipt of my purchase as it states clearly this document has to be registered within 30 days.

 

as this is a warranty of purchase is their a cooling off period that allows me to cancel this warranty if i am aware it has been misold

 

anybody had any dealings with this lot as any help would be most appreciated.

i am told that the price for gardx is normally £299 -£400 and in the commission statement i provided you it clearly states include gardx within the cash price.

 

Although i think they slipped my gardx through extras in my pre-statement and this would only show up as a cashprice for goods within the credit agreement

 

if this has been done i received a single sheet of paper(blue) with gardx protection as its heading this is the warranty, no other correspondence has been recieved in my case.

 

hope this helps you

hi beyondhope

 

gardx will not be shown on credit agreement, as i have stated before gard x is included within the cash price as the commission sheet i provided you states gardx is included in the cash price.

 

So If you have received the car care kit you can be sure you have paid for it in some way.

 

i have spoken to gardx and the lady i spoke to agreed no agreement existed and after further correspondence with gardx they are claiming that my policy may have been lost when they transfered to a different computer system.

 

i dont know how you can prove if you have purchased a product/warranty unless you have an actual warranty then again if you do have a warranty and you did not realise you purchased this product, gardx will not honour this warranty unless you have purchased the conserver on an yearly basis.

 

So it looks as if the few cloths and small bottles of products justify the £299 cost and as this included within the cash price welcome charge interest on this

 

another con by welcome

 

has anybody actually realised they have purchased this product at the point of sale.

hi beyondhope

 

try e-mailing [email protected] with your concerns, i do not hold out much hope as she is adamant that any agreement is between welcome and ourself despite the fact i have a warranty agreement.

 

at least i received the few cloths and small bottles of cleaner, surely if you have gardx within the cash price you have paid for something

Hi, I'm still waiting for the FOS to pull their finger out and decide about my complaints (5 in total) including the GARDX, I did get a piece of paper when we took out the car, but we were not allowed to cancel the GARDX, this was already on the agreement.

to all

 

if you unsure and think gardx is included within your agreement it is normally next to the mak and model in your agreement and will be under "inc gx"

 

This is further evidence Welcome include this product within the cash price as it is not a seperate charge as other insurance are.

 

It is clear welcome offer a "free car kit" as a ruse to sell a product on behalf of Gardx and any warranty is subject to an annual purchase to Gardx

 

i am a complete simpleton and my belief is that as it is a warranty/insurance and has been purchased through buying the product (albeit unaware the product has been sold to you).

 

Can gardx justify the cost of a few rags and some cleaners that we could all purchase through ou local stores

 

With any product provided by welcome a cooling of period is mandatory after receipt of confirmation of purchase of the product/insurance/warranty and normally after receiipt of any policy.

 

Welcome have failed to supply a true cost of this product and furthermore have increased the cost by including this within the cash price by adding interest, therefore increasing any commission paid to Welcome agents by the company supplying the product.

hi tonycard

 

looks like you have been sold gardx and if your agreement is over a year old and have not bought the conserver any warranty is in Gardx opinion, none and void

 

did you know if you had gardx

hi tonycard

 

so was i and proberbly many others

 

nice [problem] not only charge you a fortune for some rags and cleaner, but cop the interest on it also

 

This is all in the knowledge that the warranty will in all likely become invalid as the purchaser knows nothing about this [problem].

HI Essexboy, I have had my reply from the fos, they agreed with Welcome on all of my complaints, but funnily enough there was no mention of my complaint about the GARDX. I am not taking their review and I am seeking further advice about this.
