    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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 All,

 

Just want some advise on where I stand from a consumer side of things, I purchased a HooverDXCC5962B_BK Washer Dryer in Black from AO on the 01/04/2017 for when we moved into our first home and last week it came up with a heat sensor error code (E11.) It washes but no longer dries (luckily I kept our old dryer in the shed so have been able to dry larger items)

 

I made AO aware about a week ago of the issue and they passed me onto Hoover, so I dealt with Hoover and they sent someone out yesterday to repair the machine. He turned up on time (always nice these days) and replaced the sensor in about 15 minutes, so assuming it was all sorted he left.

 

My partner then put a wash and dry load on before she left the house, on arriving back the error code was still there :(

 

So back on the phone to AO who this time didn't automatically put me through to Hoover as it was out of their opening hours and I was told I would have to wait for her to call Hoover in the morning to arrange another appointment to have it repaired, I said that's fine and we agreed an appointment.

 

I then asked what happens if this second repair doesn't work where do I stand as I don't want to be waiting days at a time for an appointment as I can't take any time off of work and my partner works shifts so timed / all day appointments can be a bit tricky, I was told that I would have to have Hoover out a "few" times to try and repair it if the previous repairs don't work.

 

In legal / consumer terms what would be considered a "few" times before I can ask them to just replace it as it obviously isn't fit for it's purpose ? It wasn't a cheap machine and I don't want to be passed around in the middle of the two companies trying to get it sorted.

 

Thanks in advance.

Called them up, as the 2nd visit has been booked they want them out to try and see if they can repair it, (if they can that is fine, but it looks it can happen again after repairs) but after reading online this is quite a common fault :/ If I can get this one returned I would rather go for a different model / brand.

 

They said that they have the right to keep to the 2nd repair as it is and I have to wait, phone cut out and I have to finish my lunch break so couldn't call back. The 2nd repair is booked for next Monday as they don't cover weekends so they have plenty of time to get Hoover to cancel the appointment.

Id just phone them up and say after further research it appears a common problem. You now have no faith or desire to have an expensive item that is of inferior quality and is known for breakdown.

As I am within a reasonable amount of time, I find the fault is inherent upon delivery and put you to prove otherwise as stated in cra

I'm rejecting the goods forth with and expect a full refund promptly.

On to their live chat;

 

 


    • Due to the first repair failing I have the legal right to reject.
       
      "If a repair or replacement is not possible, or the attempt at repair fails, or the first replacement also turns out to be defective, you have a further right to receive a refund of up to 100% of the price you paid, or to reject the goods for a full refund."

      Im not being awkward it is just I can't take time off work till Decemeber and I work 8am-6pm and my partner is on shifts so it may be days till she gets a full day off where an engineer can come.
    • 1:23:09 p.m.
      Also after further research it appears a common problem, not just with this model but several Hoover models. I now have no faith or desire to have an expensive item that is of inferior quality and is known for breakdown.

      We are aware of our obligations and would always honour them I can assure you this. At the moment there is no proof of the fault which is why we need the engineer to confirm this. Without this we wouldn't be able to assist you further. We have the right as a retailer to prove that an appliance is faulty before any further action can be taken. Once the engineer has visited and confirmed a fault we can assist you further

        But the fault was confirmed on his first visit was it not ?
         
        Plus;
         
        "
        If you discover the fault within the first six months after buying the product, it is presumed to have been there since the time of purchase - unless the retailer can prove otherwise.
         
        During this time, it's up to the retailer to prove that the fault wasn't there when you bought it - it's not up to you to prove that it was. "

        This was then fixed and tested as working okay. We arrange all engineer visits directly with the manufacturer, as they are able diagnose any faults and are the most experienced in their field. Once the engineer has been and confirmed there is a second fault we can assist you further. I'm afraid until the engineer has been we can't confirm there is a fault with the appliance. As I've mentioned I've arranged for someone to contact you on Tuesday following the visit once the engineers visit has been submitted to Hoover so we can help you further. I can appreciate how disappointing it must be to experience a fault with your appliance. We're here to help but do require the opportunity to prove that the appliance is faulty.

        It was never tested the engineer was here for 15 minutes. Left all the old parts and rubbish around the kitchen, it was only after WE tested it we discovered the fault was never repaired. I can easily prove that it is still faulty with a simple picture / video showing the fault code and serial number of the machine.
      • 1:30:14 p.m.
        So if this engineer comes on Monday will he only be confirming the fault or repairing it, because at the moment I am rejecting the goods so I will be refusing him repairing it on the day as I don't want to continue with this machine / brand with it being a common fault.

       

    They want to the 2nd engineer visit to confirm the fault, I thought it was their place to prove the fault wasn't there, can they not do that once it reaches them or I could even take a video / picture of the error code.

    Could I say I will have the 2nd visit only to confirm the fault but don't want a repair ?

Let them come, show the engineer the fault code, tell him to take a picture, he is not to open up the back of the machine or try to repair it in any way. Then tell him to take the piece of garbage machine with him .

 

Video record him in your kitchen on your phone.

Tell him on arrival you will be recording.

If he/sje doesn't like this then turn around and walk away but you will be taking this as a refusal confirm or deny fault.

 

Hoover are reknown for trying it on.

Chat has gone a bit further will just give a break down;

 

 

  • They are saying they have the right to confirm inspect the goods at my premises before they do anything (even though the first fault was never repaired or tested by Hoover and is still present)
  • They said it needs to be a manufacturing fault to be able to return it (I assume faulty sensors and bad wiring are a manufacturing fault.)
  • Engineer is coming next Monday and I have to specifiy to him I don't want it repairing just for the fault to be written down in a report to be sent back to Hoover then AO
  • Initially they only offered to exchange it but I have said I will only be happy with a refund so I can go elsewhere, they have now agreed I am entitled to this

So I guess I just need to wait till Monday now and see if they stick to their word.

Tbh it isn't really Hoover that I am having the issue with it is AO getting them to approve the refund etc.

The first visit he was there for 15 mins, he replaced the sensor fiddled with the wires and then left saying it was sorted, turns out he didn't even test it and left a load of rubbish and a couple parts laying around in different areas of the kitchen.

 

I don't think it will be Hoover taking the machine away at any point it will be AO.com, what I will do though is type up something on the PC to basically say, this machine hasn't been opened on this visit but a fault report for Hoover / AO has been produced and then get him to sign it along with myself.

 

This was the last part of the chat;

      I can assure you there is no need to go to a small claims court. The engineer just need to ascertain the fault and you will need to let them know that you're rejecting a repair. The engineer will then submit his report to Hoover. We will then contact them fro this on Tuesday before contacting you. As long as the engineer has confirmed in the report the appliance is faulty, we can arrange for the appliance to be collected and issue a replacement or refund."

    So hopefully Tuesday I will have a call from AO offering the collection / refund.

Stand firm, you know your rights.

Now they know that you know.

 

Yeah I will be doing, hopefully doesn't need to go as far as a small claims court but would happily do it for the experience lol.

 

Will update once it has all been sorted or if there are any other issues.

 

Cheers again.

  • 2 years later...

Heya,

 

Sorry completely forgot about this, the engineer saw the fault and confirmed it was the same as the last fault. I told him I didn't want him to repair it as we are rejecting it based on the above and he said that is fine and will make a note.

 

Called up AO the next day to confirm what the engineer had said in his report and they agreed to come and remove the machine and refund, in the end I ended up paying a bit extra and said to them to put the refund towards the Samsung we decided on and when that was delivered this was lifted.

 

Still going till this day.

 

Cheers
