    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.

    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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.

My and I am in a long running dispute with Tesco Insurance. Briefly they paid out settlement funds to Carlyle Finance without my giving my son the option to agree the figure, without notifying him and without having the ownership papers to the car.

We lodged a complaint and they eventually provided a breakdown of the settlement figure which included a deduction of £900 relating to scratches to the car caused by vandels after the accident.

We disputed this figure being taken off because it clearly states in their documention that they would only take into consideration damage to the car that happened either prior to the accident or on the date of the accident.

It was only when we took the complaint to the CEO that his representative said that they were in their rights to do this because of a time lapse in making the claim.

The claim was delayed because of a dispute with Carlyle Finance which is now in the hands of the Financial Ombudsman and has been for several months. Tesco was made aware of this at the time of the claim and was povided with all documetary proof including the Police info relating to the vandalism. At no time during the claim has my son been made aware of any restrictions on his claim due to the time lapse until we sent in the complaint to the CEO.

I will point out that the car was deemed as a right-off at the time of the accident so the scrarches would not affect that outcome because they occured after the event.

I have written to the CEO to allow him time to reconsider his decision but have heard nothing and feel that we are now just being ignored.

My son has just received a letter telling him to send the ownership documentation to Tesco and that he must give them permission to dispose of the car or they will put it out on the road.

I am searching for a Solicitor who will give free advice, I really feel my son is in the right here and we are being bulied because we are vulnerable and poor.

I disabled, with only partial hearing, osteoarthritis, vertigo, atthritis and tendonitis. The car had engine problems from the start and then suffered a malfunction causing my son to run it into a small tree. We only had it two weeks and was going to go back to the Dealership because it was under warrantee but it had gone bust so we were advise to go to the Finace Company but they refused to do anything after several weeks of considering the issue. We then took the case to the Ombudsman but it has to be looked at by their Adjudicary body first. After several weeks again they did not uphold our case so it went into a queue to be looked at by the Ombudsman. Thus the time lapse for the claim, we were hoping it would not have to come to that and our rights would be upheld but that was not the case and now my son has been unfairly treated by the insurance company too. He now suffers with major anxiety problems contributed to by all this so I would really appreciate some advise to confirm where we stand legally at least with Tesco Insurance.

Thank you for your time

If Tesco Insurers have issued their final response, saying they will not answer any further letters, then you will not get a response. You would then have to go to the FOS. The FOS will take ages (people are waiting 2 years or more in some cases).

 

Probably the legal route would be the best. I am not sure whether you qualify for legal aid.

 

See if you can get an appointment with a local solicitor. Find one with the help of this link. http://legaladviserfinder.justice.gov.uk/AdviserSearch.do

We could do with some help from you.

Thank you Uncle Bulgaria, I was afraid this would be the case. We would qualify for legal aid I believe but it is difficult to find one who offers this who deals with these type of disputes. I am thinking of going to the newspaper to highlight the way my son has been treated but it would have to be me contact them because of my sons anxiety probs. It is dreadful that they are allowed to have this much power and yet we have to go to such lengths to receive fair treatment.

I will not bother with the FOS from what I have just read on this site they are biased and do not operate efficently so should be closed down in favour of a new independent and fair service.

I will check out the website you have suggested, thank you so much
