    • Isnt there some indication in there of at least intent to inform arbuthnot? IF he wasn't then it would seem to be Vennells decision to keep him 'uninformed .. Although seems to me if arbuthnot was unaware - he was either incompetent or should have very detailed records of denials. Seems vennells is constantly at the core of all the lying about all these issues though.

    • 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, i signed up for Setanta the night Ricky Hatton fought about 5 or 6 weeks ago, on the night the lady on the phone assured me that i could cancel after a month and i would only have to pay the subscription fee of around £15.99(something around that figure), since then i have rang countless times and been told different dates when i can cancel by, i have now been charged one extra payment of around £4.00 and iv been told that even after i emailed them last night by way of a 'follow up' confirmation, i still will be charged another fee(around £4 again i think!) Im sure they said that i would receive a confirmation email but still i haven't heard anything...any advice please? These guys are really p**sing me off...

Hi there, yes there certainly has been progress with this..but not good news! they have now taken around £32 in total and are due to switch the signal off very soon after i finally received confirmation from them that they would cancel. I have rang so many times to tell them that i was originally told i would only be charged ONE payment of £15.99 and each time they have said that they would listen to the call as it was wrong advice that i had been given but they never have! What can i do to either get my money back or just to report them to someone? Apparently they have received bad press for this sort of thing before!! God im angry with them!

I'm not sure but call your card supplier and state that they were unauthorized transactions as see what they say. but remember advise them you have wrote to the company and gave them timelines to return the monies but they have failed to do so.

Hi there. I myself had an epic problem with Setanta Sports a while ago, i had signed up to them for the start of the 2007-2008 Premier League season, specifically as Aston Villa v Liverpool was the opening game of the season and it was on Setanta Sports i believe. It was £10 a month then, i signed up to it (im already a Sky customer) and when it came through it was all glitchy, barely worked, it was like Freeview in a bad reception area in the early days but even worse. It was like a moving slideshow of pictures from the game it was so bad.

 

I phoned them up to complain and cancel, they did the usual trick of trying to blame my equipment, which was futile as it was all only about a month old as i'd recently replaced it all with brand new stuff, Sky Box, TV etc the works. Then they said that not only would i have to pay for the full month (which we were 3 days into and had not received any service to speak of) but i'd also have to pay for the following month as a cancellation fee plus £4.99 Admin fee.

 

Needless to say i lost my rag with this lot, as charging for a service not provided is illegal for a start, but they were adament i was lying and that i should pay for it. Then i had some other plank on the phone with me saying my Dish is in the wrong place, as im in the East of England apparently my dish is alligned to receive Sky in perfect quality, but it needs to face the other way for Setanta. I refused to agree that i should be forced to pay for 2 dishes just to receive one channel and have gone without Setanta Sports ever since.

 

Absolutely awful company, waste of space, and if there is any justice in the World they will go bust and fall very soon. And to get any of my money they'll have to force it out of my cold dead hand.

I am in the same boat regarding Setanta. I signed up 5 months ago to receive Setanta via my freeview box.

The offer was free for 2 months though a 10.99 connection fee. It said i could cancel at any time as long as i gave 30 days notice and was before my payment date. So the just before 2 months were up i cancelled by sending an email to ([email protected]) which is what they say on their T's and C's. I received no reply, though it has been opened as I requested reply on opening. So i was expecting my Setanta to switch off after the 16th which is payment day.

I hardly watched the channel as it is pretty poor coverage of sports. So I look at my bank account and see that i have been charged £15.99 on the 16th of the month. I should never have been charged this so i cancelled my direct debit via my online bank account.

1 day after this i have a phone call from Setanta saying why I have cancelled my direct debit. I explain to them that i sent them a cancellation request and they have ignored it and taken money out of my account. They say they do not have any cancellation request on their system, so i explain to them that i sent my request over 1 month ago and have the proof of this. The guy says there must have been a problem or something and explained that in order to cancel they do need to have my direct debit details. So i agreed to give them my debit details again, and he assured me that if the request was made 30 days before payment then no further payments would be taken. This is not what they say on their T's and C's but i just said to myself forget about the 15.99 that has been taken last month, no other payments will be taken so end of story. I also forwarded the email i had originally sent to the same address asking them to respond to my original cancellation request. No reply., though again the mail has been opened.

16th of this month comes along, and yet again £15.99 is taken from my account. So i again cancel my direct debit details online, and sure enough i get a call from Setanta asking why i have cancelled payment. I got into an argument with the docile divvy from Setanta claiming that I have cancelled my subscription. He goes on to say , as they did previous (no record of cancellation) I explain the same situation again, and he says that they require 30 days notice of cancellation for them to cancel. I explain to them again that my cancellation request was made OVER 2 months ago, and if it is right what they are saying then the 1st £15.99 was correctly taken and that should have been my last payment, and they should not have taken this months payment from me. They say that they must be processing my cancellation request and it takes a while, but for the cancelation to provide they do require my payment detail. I refused to give it to them as they have taken money out of my account when they should not have. He then says that without payment details on the account no cancellation will go through.

Why is it so bloody difficult to cancel a subscription. They have been on the phone 3 times today, 3 different operatiors demanding payment details. I am not going to give them my details again. I also would like a refund of £15.99.

I am not sure what to do now, as clearly they do not know what the hell they are doing themselves, only taking peoples money illegally. Who should I write to? I see somebody wrote to the MD and had no acknowledgement ??

Ok people: Read 'IdainFife's post :I'm not sure but call your card supplier and state that they were unauthorized transactions as see what they say. but remember advise them you have wrote to the company and gave them timelines to return the monies but they have failed to do so.

 

I told HSBC that the debits were not authorised by myself so they immediately refunded me £12 and sent a form for me to claim the rest! The result being that im getting my money back and Setanta are getting it right in the ar*e!! Fact! :p:p:p

The trouble is, you're making an untruthful declaration. They are still trading, and as of today appear to have had a financial injection on funds do aren't going to diassapear overnight. Declaring the funds were taken without authority (when they were) makes us complaining of unfair practices pretty weak. No wonder firms do this if customers are going to stoop so low too - we get what we deserve.

but when you only agree to one ppv and they then keep taking sums for a subscription that you didn't agree to I would say that was unauthorized.

You mean, like Sky?

 

Like phone calls - emails leave the consumer exposed to the failings of the broadcaster. An email 'receipt' proves nothing - not even that it has been read. A follow-up ohne call if emailling, or a follow up email if phoning are often required if you do not WRITE and sent a letter, which would be taken as absolute proof.
