    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59

    • 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 all :)

 

I've had my VW Golf TDI from new (just had 1 st MOT) and it is also due a service next month.

 

So far, all the servicing has been done by local franchised VW garage.

I have no problem with the workmanship,that was fine. The price was pretty steep tho', if I recall correctly it was over £400 !

 

Do I really need to have VW garage to to do the service, or would a cheaper alternative garage do the job ok ?

 

What are the implications of not having a VW garage service ?

 

Any help or advice would be much appreciated !

 

Thanks Guys

 

Hope xx

Hi i am a VW Technician and no you dont need to be serviced at the dealership any garage will do must keep reciepts and also buy the parts from the dealership before you go to the indipendant garage as they will make money of you getting to parts them selfs. Any further questions on your car please mail me i will answer to best of my knowledge. Thanks

if its just had its first MOT then it must be at least three years old so the car would be out of warranty anyway, but for anyone else wondering about there car (regardless of manufacturer) you can use a good independent but make sure you retain all invoices as these are in most cases required as proof of service if warranty claim needs to be made (do not rely soley on having the service book stamped) as in many cases the service book is only treated as a reflection on the record but the invoicing shows if all parts were change according to schedule, we deal with servicing on many fleet cars that a brand new but we are not a dealership and the warranties still stand if problems arise

The EU removed the block exemption with regards to car servicing which means an independent could service the car from new. The only provisos are that it must be serviced as per the manufacturers schedule, so if the car needs to be hooked up to a manufacturers diagnostic system, the indy garage might not have that equipment, so it will need to be checked by the franchised dealer. It would also be advisable to use service items and parts supplied by the manufacturer during the warranty period. Servicing by an indy should not affect any warranty claims, if teh work has been done properly.

make sure you use the correct oil on these engines as they can fail early on if you dont-this is expensive oil-ibet if you check your £400 bill a big chunk is oil!!

many VW's are now using longlife oil ( 0/30 ) as part of the servicing

it is quite expensive, i have seen it as much as £62 for 5 lts if your struggling to find it at better money try your local vauxhall dealer who sell at £40 retail price.

 

there is a sensor fited to the sump of these cars that can detect the viscosity of the oil and uses this info to determine when the car should be serviced (puts the "service now" warning on the dashboard) these cars also need to be plugged into the correct equipment to rest the service warning using either the "longlife" schedule or "adaptation"settings so if you do want to use any indepent garage please make sure they also have this equipmet to reset your service warning otherwise they will be telling you to go to the dealer to get it reset (more cost for you)

check which service you need as vw do 2 a basic and a advanced one.

we got our golf tdi serviced at a vw garage as it was the first time for us, but next time its back to my local garage.

vw also picked the car up for me (lazy)
