    • 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.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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.

O2 really don't like people complaining about the standard of their services. I've had ongoing issues with my mobile broadband service for a while and have a had a lengthy conversation with customer services. Afterwards I logged into my account, and noticed that some of my personal details had changed. Some smart arse at O2 has changed my place of birth to: The Depths of Hell, Bitchville

Guest Jodie_O2 Social Media Team.

Hi Denbies - I'm on the Social Media team at O2 and would like to be able to get this sorted for you. It's not a good customer experience and doesn't reflect how we much we value our customers. If you'd like to drop us an email to webteam @ o2.com we can speak about this in more detail.

02 perhaps had better be very very nice to this cagger, as this shows what contempt a person paid to help us by telephone company can do to persons file to make other switch off when the complaint is carried on. I do hope 02 would want to source who the rep was and SACK THEM as this probably is not the first time such attitude will have appeared.

 

It would be nice to see this thread updated that cagger has got sattisfactory conclusion and apology from 02 !!!!!!

Just a word of warning to the OP. CAG has not confirmed this person represents o2, so be wary about giving details. (although [email protected] does sound pretty genuine!)

 

Jodie, If you are wanting to represent o2 and help sort customer problems here, I suggest you contact the site team.

This is to confirm that Jodie has been sanctioned to deal with 02 complaints,and we ask that CAG members allow her to do this in her capacity.

 

Jodie,welcome to the site,it is good that you have shown willingness to help our members with 02 issues.

The site has seen many 02 customers with problems that require answers,and up to now we dont appear to have had any official representation,as is the case with Vodafone or Orange.

Our members like to make their judgments on seeing results,we hope there will be plenty of those in the future.

Friendly bump for the OP, any update to this?

 

Re: "...never seen anything like that before..." when working for a different company (NOT o2), their computers had a system that allowed the staff to put a pop up for anyone that looked at the account so we could leave notes to inform of any specific needs. Generally you'd maybe put "customer is hard of hearing" or "customer does not understand English very well". I have seen one that said "Customer is hard of thinking". That was reported and the person that posted it was fired for gross misconduct and walked out of the building by 2 security officers immediatly.

I am shocked at this, generally O2 sort my complaints out within an hour now after I had to take a complaint to the CEO which resulted in O2 admitting the error, refunding the whole bill for £400+ and they gave me 3 months line rental.

Is this a record? See below for my experience of O2 - just trying to get a phone repaired:Over the past month I have spent several hours attempting to get my phone repaired, not a complex request I would have thought. The phone is both insured and under warranty. I have ‘chatted’ with over 30 gurus; and have been put through to your complaints department on numerous occasions. The response has been on at least 6 occasions “Please don't worry, you're now in safe hands and I'll personally look into this issue and it will be resolved at the earliest.” Aside from my time, my daughter has stayed in all day waiting for the telephone to be collected on the basis of such promises but no contact has ever been made.Yesterday morning (Thursday 26th July ) I was promised for the sixth time that I would be contacted personally by e-mail within 24hrs to resolve this on my e-mail address. I indicated that I did not believe that this would occur and therefore were I not to be contacted that my statements yesterday should be taken as formal notice of termination of contract for breach of contract on your part. O2 has of course broken its promise once again and not contacted me. I have had endless expressions of ‘sympathy’, ‘empathy’ and understanding of my 'issue'. I dont in fact have an 'issue', I have a broken phone which needs repairing. The whole complaints procedure is designed completely around the needs of the organisation rather than those of its customers and whilst customer service personnel are superficially pleasant and polite our service is worse than useless.I o intend to report O2 to Ofcom and the Ombudsman and send my account of their utter incompetence to the newspapers. has anyone else had a similar experience?

Welcome Paul.

 

Send them a letter with what you have said above and give them 48 hours to collect the phone for repair, say that if it isn't collected by the end date, that you will take it to

an independent repair shop and bill them for it and that failure ot refund the bill will lead to a court summons.

 

Make the letter recorded delivery.

I am an existing O2 customer and have been for several years having taken out various contracts with them. However, a few years ago I encountered O2's lack of customer service and empathy towards their customers first hand when I experienced a short spell of financial difficulty due to a change in personal circumstances. I am still in battles with O2 to this day. Despite my settling the account in question at the time, unbeknown to me, until last year, O2 had in fact placed a default notice against my credit file without ever having given me any prior warning either by written correspondence or verbally - their reason being, they are not regulated like other companies because communications are regulated by Ofcom which have lower regulatory guidance. I say this needs to change. I was given the contact details of O2's ombudsman, who I have written to and obtained a response that they cannot deal with my complaint because O2 issue service agreements and not consumer contracts. I am now putting a case together to submit to Ofcom - I have googled and stumbled across many dissatisfied O2 customers where the same thing has happened. I was only in difficulty for a short time and the amount I fell behind on does not even amount to any significance, however, I am effectively placed into the same category as someone who has a CCJ registered against them as a result for the next 3 years despite not being in financial difficulty anymore.

Welcome disgruntledwith02.

 

You should copy all your correspondence attached to a letter to you MP. Parliament is really the only ones that can change this if Ofcom don't have the powers.

 

You could also start a petition to parliament http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/ . Think carefully how you word it to bring in the most signatures. This won't be against O2 but against 'service agreements' being unregulated.

 

Add a thread to CAGs epetition section http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?357-e-Petitions and plaster links to it on as many sites and forums as you can find. Start with this one http://uknationalforums.com I think you will find not a lot of sites will delete your link if it is worded well as it's not spam.

Hi Patrick

 

Perhaps too much personal info, its a public forum and it would be sensible to edit and remove all person info.

 

I have a contact at Telefonica who has proved helpful in the past for a similar (ish) problem. It does seem to be an issue where you are being passed from pillar to post because nobody is prepared to take ownership of it.

 

Try the following contact on Monday.... [email protected], 0845 330 0683, copy email to [email protected]. If no joy please update the thread and we'll take a look at best approach to get it (Telefonica) to take ownership.
