    • 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.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍

    • 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.

Hey folks,

 

Right, I'll try and keep this a bit brief. My rating is a bit shot thanks to some youthful indiscretions and I really wanna get myself back on an even keel.

 

I am currently having issues with some payday lenders, but thanks to the advice on here, it's well in hand. However, that doesn't stop me wanting to really put things right again and just in one place.

 

Basically, I'm looking for bad credit unsecured/tenant lenders for £3000 over 3 years, hopefully averaging out at £125-150 a month in repayments, well within my scope of finance, even if I ended up jobless.

 

My debts aren't quite as high as £3k but I want some left over so I can move in with my partner and with only one debt, with a very affordable repayment.

 

I'm in full-time employment and only been there 3 months though, but they have just sorted my contract and I'm earning about £1k take home right now. I have other plans for earning more, but neither here nor there atm.

 

Anyways, I wasn't sure where to post this as I didn't see an unsecured loans board, so feel free to move this.

 

Any help would be grandly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Personally, I think it would be a bad decision to go for new credit if you're already handling payments back to payday lenders. First sort them out and then decide what to do.

 

Also, even bad credit lenders would not look positively on someone being with an employer less than 12 months.

I understand that, but paying off charges etc that payday lenders charge is much tougher than taking one big loan and setting them all at once.

Plus I have designs for the rest of the loan that I would be taking. It's just much safer than continually incurring charges/defaults/rollovers to sort things out.

 

To reiterate, does anyone know any dependable unsecured loan companies for people with poor/fair credit?

Hi,

I would imagine the best way to get quotes would be on google or such like but I note you stated unsecured and wanted to advise you of this....

 

You should be aware that their no such thing as an unsecured loan, they are in fact easily secured on your property providing the CCA is enforceable. If you have equity in your property any creditor will have this loan secured on your property in a matter of months. I have personal experience of this and took out an 'unsecured loan' for new windows. to cut along story short my employment changed and I could not meet the repayments. Within 5 months they had a CCJ and subsequently secured the loan via a charging order. To sum up we had to sell the house.

i dont think the charging order point would be anything to worry about, i think the OP is a tenant.

Good place to start looking would be moneyline, if your a council tenant or credit union, but you wont get 3k to start with
