    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.

I had an eye test at Specsavers and selected some frames and paid for them to be glazed in the script they supplied with thinning and a scratchcoat. I paid via Barclaycard Visa.

 

I went to collect them and have them fitted today and as soon as I put them on I realised something was wrong.

 

I advised the optician they were not right and she refused to believe me saying my eyes needed to adapt to them as I had been wearing my current glasses for some time.

 

I disagreed stating that I owned 3 pairs of spectacles with 2 different scripts and contact lenses with a third script and I had no problem swapping around glasses or contacts previously.

 

I advised that the new glasses made me want to squint my left eye so that could not be right, the optician refused to accept they were wrong and insisted that I try them and come back in a few weeks.

 

Initially I refused and I stated that I was an experienced glasses wearer and there was definitely something wrong.

 

I asked what could be done and the optician said nothing as I hadn't persevered with them. I said I was not prepared to as they were making me feel dizzy and I wasn't going to risk my health to prove her wrong.

 

I was getting nowhere so I said I would get another eye test to see if they had the script wrong and would return as soon as I had that.

 

I left the shop with the glasses and tried them a few more times to make sure and I am convinced they are wrong.

 

I contacted Barclaycard and raised a dispute and they have suspended payment (I presume the shop has received funds as payment on the card was 16/07) so the suspension is for my payment to Barclaycard.

 

So I am going to get another eye test done and see if it matches.

 

If it doesn't I presume I should be able to claim a full refund and possibly the cost of the second eye test?

 

Any advice on how I should approach this?

That's good to hear. I also have had the experience of glasses not quite being right - don't uncomfortable to see through, but not providing as much correction as I've been used to. The optician said this was just me getting older, but I'm not so convinced.

 

What was causing the issue in your case?

I don't know what caused the initial issue. the spectacles made me feel dizzy with a binocular effect on the left eye. I wore them over the weekend and it just stopped. So they are ok, I'm now wearing them every day.

I had a very similar experience with Specsavers and will never use them again. Ended up using a private local optician who spent the time necessary with my eye test and I ended up with a totally different prescription to the twice tested Specsavers prescription.

 

.....Never again!

I had a similar experience few years back, i had used Specsavers for few years at the time with no probs,

Then on an eye test few years ago i was told I required a new prescription, at time my prescription was only for distance albeit i needed wear glasses all the time.

When picked up the new glasses and tried them on .. I said no way, you have given me someone elses prescription surely? the floor was coming up at me, the lighting colour in the shop looked wrong was weird experience, I said you have got something seriously wrong here, i can't be wearing these especially to drive home with.

No i was told justa matter of readjustment few days required.. no way i said .. never going to happen, give it 24 hours your see your adjust and in couple days your fully adjust.

I left shop wearing glasses .. got to my car no way could risk driving, thought ok get home and try them few hours, well did that few hours in started feeling very light headed, sickly with them.. no way could continue.

Went back to Specsavers next day and complained, ok we will retest they said .. on retest they said ohhh sorry the astigmatism part of your prescription was higher than should of been in new glasses, i had to wait another couple days for another pair to be made.

When got the new pair a slight bit adjustment required but nothing like the wrong astigmatism pair.

I let them off lightly thinking back on it, should really made a claim of some sort at time :roll:

I used use Specsavers but we had to go to a different optician for a 2nd opinion and found his company so much better than Specsavers who are the production line company of opticians so we all use him now , i was never really happy with Specsavers any way
