    • 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.

I want to tell every member of the public what we have been put through by SCS in Stevenage

 

As we where moving to a new home back in 2014 we needed to purchase furniture and carpet

In November 2013 we placed an order for Furniture on finance by a VERY pushy Salesman

The very next day we cancelled the order and Finance Agreement as we did not like their terms and conditions

 

We went into the store but was treated so badly by the Salesman and he refused to find our order making out it was lost

I made someone in the accounts department cross out the order saying cancelled across our part of the order and left

 

In January 2014 we went back to the store to place an order for a carpet and left a deposit on a credit card for half the value

A week before it was due to be fitted I find out that no-one had ordered our carpet so it would not be fitted in time

 

We threatened to cancel the order and needed to look for a replacement which could be fitted in time

 

SCS asked us to go into the store as they promised to get one for us like for like of another style which was more expensive but promised to charge the same price and fit it in time

We agreed and we just needed the correct Invoice re written for the change of style name so we could pay for the balance

 

The carpet Was fitted on time BUT it was fitted by COWBOYS

there was NOT enough carpet ordered to finish the job

I was forced to pay them for the fitting as they rang a woman from the store who told me I had to pay them and she would find the rest of the carpet to finish the job

 

Our home was ruined as every skirting was forced off of the walls,

the stair carpet fell off and

the study was unfinished

, the underlay was incorrect

and all three wardrobes where short by an inch

 

We complained about this and reluctantly after months of strain they paid us a cheque for the damage and fitted the whole house again

This was when the real hit the fan

 

9 months later as we where still awaiting the correct Invoice to be sent to us,

we find out that a Mr ....had NOT cancelled the old Credit Finance and put the WHOLE of the carpet order value + extra costs and a huge amount was Totally incorrect on finance but this finance paperwork still had 'SOFA' on it and NOT carpet

 

We where only informed of this from the finance company 'Creation' who by now where chasing payments !

 

We had to explain to them that we had NEVER wished for this carpet nor any order to be put on Finance as we had cancelled it months ago

Long story short

 

We are now being blackmailed to pay for something we have not had ( 'SOFA' )and no one will help us and SCS have blatantly done this knowing we will get a bad credit rating

 

We have been to the Ombudsman who messed up as a junior dealt with it first and made mistakes and we have spoken to Creation but no one will understand our problem

Is there anyone who can help resolve this

 

 

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM SCS
