    • 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.

:shock:Hi every one 1st time ad ..

 

I am looking for some good advice on this if anyone can help me please

 

.we purchased a leather suite cost £1876

within 3 weeks I noticed something wrong with the one side

 

we phoned them next day and explained

several weeks later their man came .

 

he takes it apart to find the main frame as completely snapped in half

he does no more and goes to his van gets some old wood and glue and screws

cuts the wood to size screws and glues wood on .

 

he didn't ask anything

he bodges the sette up .

then fills out his report

 

writes Mishandled in transit.

also writes retail delivery next to their word who

 

now at this point we are no wiser of the extent of the damage

but it turns out to be main frame snapped in two.

 

therefore he and Scs have admitted to delivering a faulty settee not fit for purpose intended for .

 

I can't see how anyone has a argument against this

why even should we be considering a repair or a repair at all

its not an option

we did not even have say in the matter.

 

after a year of trying to solve this matter with Scs we took them into court 5/9/17

lost the case on the grounds we let them repair it

took the judge all of 4 minutes to make her decision

 

I tried to explain things but you get to know its going straight over her head.

 

we are wi5 pounds out of pocket and will be getting their solicitors Bill

who knows the final amount

 

we have 7 days remaining to a appeal if we decide to go down that route

I have to watch in case we lose again.

 

we tried on Ombudsman

they can't help

our solicitor doesn't deal with these matters

 

made couple inquires today and been quoted £160 plus vat per hour .

there's but more to this story but I don't want to bore anyone to much .

 

I think I still have a very good case

we have copy of their report

we have a pictures of the clean snap on the frame that their solicitor described as a very very minor split .

I told her to get some glasses

 

their bunch have tried every trick in the book to get out if it

even tried moving dates to go outside the 30 days of returns to even telling lies over the phone

 

sorry but i had a good go on him

 

if theres anyone can help me point me in the right direction

i will chase it with more money if it comes to it,

 

can text me if it helps [removed]

 

thanks to every one who as viewed this

 

,all thanks to s c s.

under the consumer rights act you do have the option if the item is faulty and reported faulty within 30 days to reject it and receive a full refund.

 

 

what date did you receive the item

what date did you report the fault.

hi. the rest of the story is as follows.

 

 

we had the odd letter off them saying you have no rights to do what you are doing etc and we should stop the case.

 

 

august just gone

we went on our holls on 13th august

on the 15th my partner gets a gmail on her phone saying we are offering you a full refund of 1876 plus your court cost of 285 pounds and the terms are you don't tell the media you don't tell your friends etc and this offer expires on the 21st at 4pm,

 

 

that eve we had a chat and decided to accept their offer [that tells me they are in the wrong]

next day I rang them and said we will accept their offer and thanks for the offer

 

 

I then said what happens about the court case its only few weeks away

he said he would send me out a letter for us to sign and return that allows him to stop the hearing

I said ok il await your letter thanks,

 

 

then next day after giving it some thought we wondered if they would sell the suite back to us for £700 pounds.

 

 

next day I rang them and said do you think scs would sell us the suite back for £700 when its all sorted

either way we will accept their offer

saves us looking for another one

saves them sending out their blokes

saves load of hassle

 

 

he said its not up to me ill chat with scs see what they say.

I said ok thanks that was it.

 

 

17/8/17. we come home on 23rd august to find the same letter we received in the gmail of the offer dated the 15th,

then on the 1st of September post man had been and still no letters

I decided to phone the courts up to see if case was still going ahead

 

 

she said why I told her she said you should still attend the hearing ,

its now 4 days to the hearing two of them weekend.

 

 

I then rang their solicitor who said oh I was just going to phone you!!!!!

I said something like yea I said whats going on no letter 4 days left to hearing

 

 

he said I am awaiting on scs to get back I cant make a decision

by now hes getting me on a line with his excuses.

 

 

i said to him you're not going to get a letter out now for me to return it I

ts not going to happen

I told him I phoned the courts and they told me to still go to court.

he said why do you want to go to court

 

 

I said because if I don't go it will get thrown out in your favour

I am going to court as I think you're playing mind games

 

 

I said your winding me up so that's it ill see you in court

then he said we can sort this out now,

 

 

well that got me even more mad

I said to him just few minutes ago you said you cant do anything about it and now you can all in space of five minutes down goes the phone,

 

 

next day 2nd sept we get a letter off him we have refused their offer and that the courts should throw it out etc.

he sent same letter into court .

 

 

in court we go 5/9/17

took less than 5 mins as she said its the law you let them repair it

I tried to explain but she was having none of it

she had made up her mind

she mentioned our counter offer of £700

I said yea

she then said you should had bitten off their hand

I said I did but their solicitor messed it all up.

 

 

like I say she was having none of it

I come out the court room

she had already made up her mind saying that's the law,

 

 

so not only do you have to sort out scs

you have their lying solicitors to have told several lies and tried every trick they know .

beware of them,

that's all the story

 

 

if it don't help me it might help others

don't let them do a repair that's their get out case.

 

 

I am just awaiting there final bill then its off to the papers I go

I will have to pay to publish it but it will be worth it in long run ,

they know they were in the wrong and done every trick they know to get out of it

 

 

thanks to the judge seems it as worked.

but if they think that's it they're very much wrong.

 

 

thanks steve
