    • Please provide advice on the following situation: I rented out my property to four students for 16 months until March 2024. Initially, the property was in very good condition, but now it needs extensive renovation. This includes redoing the bathroom, replacing the kitchen, removing wallpaper, and redecorating due to significant mold growth. The tenants also left their furniture on the grass, which is owned by the local authority. As a landlord, I've met all legal requirements. It seems the damage was caused by poor ventilation—windows were always closed, and heating wasn't used. There was also a bathroom leak fixed by reapplying silicone. I tried to claim insurance, but it was denied, citing tenant behavior as the cause by looking at the photos, which isn't covered. The deposit barely covers the repair costs, or else I'll have to pursue money claims, which I've never done before and am unsure about its legal complications or costs. Any thoughts on this?
    • The part in question was bought direct from Hotpoint (to replace a burnt door interlock and melted wiring). I'm unsure of the original retailer the machine was bought from, we're talking 5 years+ ago, but I can find out if absolutely necessary. It's one of the models that was listed on the recall list, but Hotpoint have stated for many years it wasn't an affected unit when given the serial number - I expect this is why they offered a FoC engineer visit because I sent them pictures of the (new ) burned door interlock.

    • 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.

Forget TV for ten days or buy a replacement!

 

Our Freesat set top box (cost £209.99 March 12th 2015) started to malfunction

 

 

I rang Argos under their extended warranty.

They put me on to D&G who would fix it.

 

 

After two and a half hours on the phone the best offer was to have the set top box couriered 200 miles and then fixed and couriered back. This would take ten days, they said.

 

 

Meanwhile as a 77 year old partially disabled I can sit at home and stare at the walls.

The next offer was to refund the price of the warranty (£59.99) so that I can buy a replacement (estimated £200).

That is the end of me with D&G and Argos.

Welcome to the forum. You can follow the extended warranty link and see what we have to say about them.

 

Whether it was under extended warranty – or under your statutory consumer rights, which would be more than adequate for this situation and which would last up to 6 years, I expect, I'm afraid that the situation will probably be the same.

 

In other words you have had one and 1/2 years use out of the thing and now that it has failed, it would have to be sent off for repair and am afraid that you would have to wait for the repaired item to be sent back to you. They are proposing to do in 10 days and that is probably reasonable. I would want to start complaining after 14 days.

 

You simply need to hope that they are telling the truth and that it is just 10 days.

 

I'm afraid that in this situation the best thing to do is to pack it up and send it off by guaranteed delivery so that it arrives next Monday morning at 9 o'clock. This means that you will have to get to the post office tomorrow morning early and of course it will cost you extra.

 

Make sure you keep all the receipts et cetera. Presumably they have given you a returns reference number. Make sure this is marked clearly on the outside and also on the inside. I suggest that you attach a letter explaining the problem and with any reference numbers by means of Sellotape to the unit itself.

 

If you haven't had it back by the end of 10 days that they promise you, then you will have to start getting on the phone to them – and also you will need to come back here. I'm afraid that these kind of repairs are difficult and is very quickly to lose control of the situation. Argus is not too bad but of course if they were really great company, they would lend you a unit while they were taking care of the return. But they aren't that good – and am afraid that probably know companies are as good as that – except for Amazon. Mind you, after a year and 1/2 maybe even Amazon wouldn't send you a replacement. Generally speaking though, if you have an item which fails certainly in this verse six months to 12 months then Amazon will generally speaking send you a replacement straightaway and then simply charge you for it if you fail to return the old one stroke the broken one to them within 30 days. That's a pretty good system.

 

Mind you, although this is your first time on this forum, you clearly have access to a computer so you could spend a fair amount of time looking round the forum and looking around the Internet – which isn't too bad sometimes. Also, you may well find that some of the programs you want to watch are actually available through the Internet.

which set top box?

I know its not for yo to do

but there are so of the era esp the humax ones

that need a software update

this can be done by a USB penstick or by plugging the set top box into your internet broadband route via an Ethernet lead

 

 

can you give us the make and model number

and explain the issue you are having

I work on these all the time

 

 

as a side note too...how did you pay argos for the Box?

Humax HDR-1000S 1TB Freetime Smart Freesat HD TV Recorder.

 

It says things like "You have no recordings" but 17% of disc full, then next day they are all OK.

 

Also it fails to record things for no apparent reason (i.e. no conflict).

 

It certainly sounds like software to me.

 

If I have a USB connection to a broadband router will the set's own software update work?

from the humax website:

 

 

Up to two years free warranty

 

 

Up to two years free warranty when registered with Humax, giving you confidence in the quality of build and technology, with no repair costs should your product go faulty in the first two years of use.

 

 

your software does have an update your could install

 

 

http://www.humaxdigital.com/uk/products/product_releases.php?gid=135&pid=6

 

 

your problem is very very common.

 

 

this external thread explains a few things better than I can by mass typing

http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2097559&page=2

 

 

ideally you need to contact humax

they don't usually quibble about it not being registered esp if you are its only owner and have purchase proof.

 

 

most of that series had dodgy drives

you could replace the HDD - best idea always sorts it.

 

 

you could try formatting it in the humax service menu

50/50 worked for me.
