    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59

    • 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,

Sorry but its quite a long story.

 

My electrician purchased and collected an oven from currys, and fitted it.

He gave us the paperwork.

 

The first time l used it the glass oven exploded, showering glass as far as the hall.

 

After many hours on the phone to the manager of the store,

it was agreed that he would send another one,

as l would not have the same one again,

 

l paid an extra £40 for another one.

He also said when it was delivered they would disconnect the broken one, and perhaps put the new one in for a cup of tea.

Oven was delivered and they could not disconnect the broken one as they were not allowed to.

 

After a few more hours on the phone they arranged for an engineer to come and take broken one away and plug the new oven in.

 

l opened a customer service case the day after it exploded (2 weeks ago).

They have finally replied saying the contract is with the electrician, and will not speak to us.

 

l cant understand why we were allowed to sort a replacement out and pay another £40,

and have it delivered to us,

when they are now unwilling to talk to us.

 

l have reported it to trading standards as would not like it to happen to someone else.

l was lucky that there was nobody in harms way when it happened.

 

l has an onion which ended up with a piece of glass sticking into it.

 

l would be grateful of any advice please.

Thanks

sounds like it wasn't level and the glass door was twisted by the frame and the heat cause sideways pressure to squash it

bi like when a shower door goes

but it should have been toughened glass that shouldn't do that!!

 

what does the manufacturer say?

lt was to replace my old oven, built in and no problems with the old one.

This happened on first use.

 

The Currys electrician said it should be tested to see what was wrong with it.

 

lt was Currys Logik make.

 

But going on how they are treating us at the moment,

l doubt if they will bother in case it affects sales

Have you consulted your electrician? If it went first time after he had fitted it, then did he test it correctly after fitting? Did he test it at all? Is it right to go after Currys or to go after him? Do you need an independent engineer to do a report?

Hi

 

I have to agree with the above.

 

Did the Electrician follow the Manufacturers Instruction for Installation? (did the electrician leave all the product documentation with you, also check the manufacturers website for installation documentation of this product if you don't have it)

 

Did the Electrician Test the product correctly? (Do you have anything in writing stating this was done)

 

Have you checked the Electrician was qualified to carry out this work?

Although it could be argued that they would need to be competent (competent is not the same as qualified) for their own sake as much as any else, the electrician (or anyone) fitting an electric cooker to an existing cooker connection unit does not need to be qualified. It's not notifiable under part P.

I would like to add that most ovens now come with a standard 13 amp plug, so no special knowledge is required.

Did this oven had a plug?

 

Obviously not as an electrician was required.......some ovens still require to be hard wired into a higher rated cooker circuit

If your oven is fitted with a plug... A) you've been conned and B) you're dangerously overloading whatever ring-main that you're 'plugging' it in to.

 

A 13A socket at 240V is rated to supply 3.1kW Peak. More like 2.4kW RMS. So on a 32A ring main, you can draw a maximum of 7.6kW (rounded) peak at any one time.

 

A modern electric cooker could easily draw 7kW on its own (hence the reason that it should have it's own 32A (maybe even 40A) supply)

 

Try and pull 7kW from a 32A ring main that's also trying to run everything else that's plugged in to it and you're going to be standing in the street watching your house burn down before too long.

There's no way I'd even entertain a cooker that plugs in to a standard socket. "Efficient" or not, it's never going to match a proper free standing electric double oven & hob.

 

Looking at the specs for my cooker, I'd say that it was fairly efficient, it doesn't draw anywhere near the maximum that it could on it's 32A circuit, but it's still hardwired to a proper 'cooker' wall outlet.

I'm still upset with the EU over my coffee machine that likes to turn itself off after 40 minutes. How the hell am I supposed to drink 10 cups of coffee (or 5 mugs) in 40 minutes exactly? I soon had the bottom off of that to disable the timer :wink:

Obviously you haven't fitted an oven in the past 10 years.

Most of them now have a standard plug (to my concern i should add), have a wonder in an appliance store and look behind the display units.

You'll be surprised.

Independent 32 or 45 amp for cooker/oven has been standard for the past 20 years at least.

You’ll need the right supply outlet for your appliance.

 

For electric and dual fuel appliances, there needs to be a suitable outlet within 1.5 metres of the location.

 

You’ll need the right outlet, for example; a 32 amp outlet for appliances including freestanding electric cookers that consume more than 3KW. A 13 amp outlet will be required for single electric cookers and gas ignition appliances using less than 2.99KW.

Hmm, not sure I agree with that.

 

Even if you were rewiring a house tomorrow you'd still have to install a dedicated high Amperage outlet for a cooker.

 

You have to allow for the installation of a cooker that draws >3kW even if one isn't to be installed at the time.

32 or 45 amp supply is standard because many ovens and range cookers have high kwh, however as said, many modern ovens come from the factory with a standard 13amp plug.

Being sold in UK, they must be safe to use by simply plugging them in otherwise they won't be fitted with a standard plug.

We still don't know if this is the case with the op oven.

 

The exploding door surely has got nothing to do with the electrical connection.

Either the oven was faulty, the glass was damaged or the oven was somehow fitted in a twisted/squashed position so to put the door under mechanical stress.

Can I call for a pause for a minute.

 

The words "oven" and "cooker" keep coming up.

 

The OP talks about an "oven",

I have taken this to mean a built-in or built-under, oven only.

 

I define "cooker" to be a full blown electric cooker, ie oven, grill and hob.

 

As per the last few posts, I agree an "oven" is ever likely these days likely to come with a 3 pin plug.

 

A cooker would NEVER? come with one?

 

I think a few of us maybe getting crossed wires here (pun intended...) Maybe OP can confirm?
