    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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,

 

New to this forum after reading a few posts relating to this company "cash4phones.co.uk".

 

I sent my phone to them last week, recorded delivery and have used royal mail track and trace which shows the phone was received and signed for.

 

Its still early days but the site shows the status as "pack sent to customer" i assume it should by now say "received" or similar. After my paranoid level soared i did a quick google only to find hundreds of complaints in reviews of this company, so, this appears to be the first step in the process of being ripped of by this company so i thought i'd make an official note of the situation here.

 

I've used their contact form online and asked if someone can take a look into the status of my request, as i hear back i'll update on here.

 

phone is a galaxy s3 in spotless condition which they quoted as being worth £185.51

No - I expect that it had a cracked screen - but you didn't notice!!

I quite agree. These invisible cracks are everywhere, even on my phone. I can't see it but C4P must have better eyes than mine.

 

You have proof this was delivered so a Letter before action will be needed giving them one chance to pay, say within 14 days, otherwise court action will follow with no further recourse to them

Yep, i don't doubt it was so massive that rather than see it i'd actually fallen into the crack..... hehehe..

 

 

On a serious note, do i give them a chance to make an offer or wait till they contact me (i assume that might never happen??) or do i start now with the letter?

The longer you leave it the longer they have the chance to go out of business (which is what I suspect they are planning-no proof, just a gut feeling)

 

I would get that letter off pronto

so i've sent one there with the below content.

 

 

will have to post something to them also the old fashioned way.

 

 

after completing the online form and receiving no response within the 48 hours SLA i

’m having to mail at this address as its the only other contact detail on your website.

Can someone please contact me in order to arrange for payment for my phone,

my phone was received by you a week ago, i

t was sent recorded delivery so I

have a signature and name as proof it was received.

however your system shows the status as "pack sent to customer" ,

no one is responding and

after reading the thousands of complaints about your company

i am now concerned that i am another victim of a fraudulent phone recycler. I

f i do not receive a response promptly i will have little choice but to begin county court proceedings to reclaim my losses.

hope you can help! thanks!

My story is exactly the same. Sent mine off about 2 weeks ago too. I did send them a note asking if they`d received my phone and they said they had and now were looking it over. That was about a week ago. the phone`s perfect, so i too (after finding this forum) am getting worried. thing is, I really needed that money too.

 

I normally always check these things first, but I sent an old phone away 2 years ago and had no probs (not with this company I should add). I thought it would be the same here.

 

I`ll watching how this story goes. Might write a letter too.

  • 5 weeks later...

got worse....

 

After sending an email to threaten court action i got an offer and it showed on their site as pending payment, so i thought i'd wait a week and see if i got it. went back on there yesterday to find their site is down and there's rumours all over the net that the police and trading standards are after them but they're "hiding"

 

what can i do? worth contacting the police?

In the meantime I have sent a couple email querying the phone and there are no reply. When I tried to contact them the site is always down. What shall I do as I don't have the contact number.

So now it will be down to the individuals to take their own legal action in order to recover their loss, the consumer loses out again,

terrible way to do business, unless your the CEO and directors...

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!
