    • Moneyclaim is going to court   Its how you do a claim     Do you believe that you will be able to cover the full amount from the 3 people youd want to claim against? 
    • I'm unsure about going to court because it takes a lot of time and can be stressful, and there's no guarantee of winning. I'll still ask legal for advice. NLRA suggested making a MoneyClaim, but I'm worried it might cause problems and end up spending more if goes wrong.         
    • If you have legal cover and insurance, you can try going ahead with your Insurer. They may be able to refer you to their "Legal Partner" but do your research.  If you know where 3 of them live, you can attempt to take them to court, but in todays climate, going legal will not get you the result of £15k that you are after.    Others may have their own input - But in reality you are asking for £5k from each of them - Might find it hard to recover that in a timely manner.  Like I said earlier - Your option maybe to take the hit now and factor it in to future tenancies. 
    • I have insurance that covers legal matters for this property, and I can confirm it with the insurance company. I also know where the tenants currently live, as all three have moved to the same place. There's been a lot of mold growing in the property over the past few months. All the builders who came to look at it think the mold grew because the windows were kept closed, lack of heating. In the past few months, they haven't used much gas or electricity, as shown by the smart meter I checked. Recent trace and access report says there's no water leak in the property. I have lots of photos from when I moved in until now. But in court, more people usually want to sue the landlord, not the other way around.
    • simply write to them, offering one months fee, give them 14 days to accept. if they sont accept, ignore everyone. Harlands too! and the extra £20 penalty is not allowed either. thread title updated. dx

    • 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.

Hopefully good news for Gym members at LA Fitness and Dave Whelan Sports (DWS) and those with other gyms whose Admin is handled by Harlands :-

 

These gyms have agreed to make cancellations easier for folks when their circumstances change. See The OFT report here - http://www.oft.gov.uk/news-and-updates/press/2013/62-13

 

Extract from The OFT press release on 10th September :-

 

The undertakings to the OFT from LA Fitness, DWS and Harlands Group include:

 

* Extended rights for members to cancel their contracts early should their circumstances change in a way that makes attendance at the gym difficult or unaffordable - for example if they lose their job or suffer an injury

 

* A commitment not to describe membership as being of a fixed duration, if the contract automatically continues on a rolling basis after the initial membership period has expired

 

* Greater transparency about key membership features, including initial membership periods and cancellation rights, and for these to be provided upfront as part of the sales process.

 

It will be interesting to see how well the gyms or gym admin Co's stick to the new undertakings.

 

This is in addition to the agreement that The OFT reached earlier this year with Bannatyne Fitness Limited, David Lloyd Leisure Limited and Fitness First Clubs Limited, to change their contract terms.

 

Time will tell ...............

Everyone who took the time and trouble to make a complaint to The OFT about their gym or gym admin company should be proud that they have contributed in getting the gyms to agree to treat customers more fairly.

 

Even though The OFT could not help in your individual cases, I'm sure the complaints will have have been a material factor in The OFT's insistence on the gyms complying.

 

So well done to you all !! :whoo::cheer2::whoo::cheer2::whoo:
