    • There's a thread somewhere about someone sending the baillifs against Wizzair that is quite hilarious. I would love to see someone do the same to Ryanair. Question is, should you be the one to take that role. You are entitled to the £220, if your flight was from the UK. If it was TO the UK I suppose it is more of a grey area... though the airlines I know have been using £220 as standard. Not that surprising for Ryanair, the worst cheapskates in the universe, to go for the lower amount, and if you forward this to the CEO he will probably have a jolly good laugh and give his accountants a verbal bonus. After all he's the one who said and I paraphrase "F*** our customers, they'll fly with us again anyway". While we would all love to see Ryanair get wooped in court again, I have to join my fellow posters in thinking it's not worth the hassle for (hypothetically) £7 and not sure it will expedite the payment either. It's already an achievement that you got them to accept to pay.

    • 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 Guys

 

My daughter has a problem with this PDL and I was hoping for some advice on how to deal with them she has had a lot of personal upset in the last 2 years

 

ie lost a child and came home from work one night to discover father of child had packed and left with no explanation she is now depressed and suffering from anxiety

 

she had a loan off this company in 2011 for £100 and today they have telephoned her at work and threatened to send the bailiffs to my address unless she pays £500 of the £700 she now owes

 

I don't really want them to know she doesn't live here anymore that way I can with help from you guys deal with it for her so what should be my 1st plan of action?

 

I need to stop them ringing her work the embarrassment is making her anxiety worse at the minute I am able to get her to go work that alone had been a battle any help you can offer would be great thanks guys

Well for starters they should not be telephoning her work number. You can make a complaint about that to the OFT.

 

They cannot send bailiffs anywhere.. not until they have issued a claim and won and then your friend not paid the judgment debt.

 

You must insist that all communication is in writing. You can say that the address is a postal address only or simply let them believe she is still living with you.

 

I am assuming that all the threats they have made have been on the telephone - and no recording has been made by you ?

Wda are notorious for calling g employers. You need to get s full complaint into wda and the oft. Dont ask for them to stop. DEMAND IT. If they dont stop then involve the ico and consider legal action.

 

Already advised, if none of what they said is in writing, then dont worry. They would never put all that in writing

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

They should have their registered office on their Website - and also a contact /complaint form.

This is odd! A PDL company still owning the debt after 2 years? They usually pass them around a few bottom feeding DCAs after 2 - 3 months.

 

Is it definitely WDA? Or a debt collection agency collecting on their behalf?

 

The above advise is correct and good! It's against OFT guidance to contact anybody at work.

 

This behaviour needs reporting immediately.

It never rains but it pours...
