    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. 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. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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.

Hoping someone can help.

 

We called into a local fire/stove shop as we wished to have our gas fire removed and a wood burner installed.

Chap came round, checked everything and advised due to space we could only have an inset wood burner.

 

He showed us no physical examples just a couple of pictures from the web.

He provided us with an esitamate with his terms stating payment of half upon ordering and the remaining half five days before installation, the fitter to be paid directly upon completion as they are sub contractors. We duly paid and arranged a fitting date of last Friday.

 

The fitter removed our gas fire and found a live electrical socket embedded in the chimney behind it, and advised he could not fit the wood burner whilst it was still there which was quite understandable.

 

A builder working next door came and had a look and arranged for an electrician to come and make the socket safe, which he did and he advised that he had no idea where the wires were coming from as they were encased in concrete in the chimney breast. The fitter said he was still not prepared to fit the wood burner as it stands.

 

We rang the shop and the guy originally said the manufacturer would take the item back less a hundred quid, we felt we were entitled to a full refund because it can't be fitted due to health and safety issue.

 

We agreed to have the hundred quid knocked off the refund and advised that we would look to recoup that amount later,

the guy in the shop promptly hung up on us..

 

we emailed and asked him to process the refund and he emailed back threatening to charge us for storage of the wood burner and said it was totally fit for purpose and that we would come round and chase the wall so the wires could be pushed back, we declined as he is not a qualified electrician but we can't understand why he suddenly changed track and went on the defensive.

 

We paid by credit card, despite him wanting us to pay by Bank transfer so I guess we can down that route if he doesn't give us our refund?

 

Also because we did not physically see the wood burner before it was brought in by the filters we think we might be protected by the Consumer Rights Act which says you have fourteen days from receipt of the goods to return it because the law states you should be allowed to see the product or experience it before making a final decision.

 

We don't really want to go down the legal, route if we can help it but we can't afford to write off £2K

 

Anyone offer any advice on whether we are protected or not?

 

Thanks

i wonder why he wanted you to pay by bank transfer.... :) he knows that by CC there are rules. Bank transfer, once the money is in the account, you have zero comeback

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Well, he;s obviously trying to avoid his responsibilities. And legal route? Just go to the CC and start a chargeback.

But will they do it?

 

Effectively there is nothing wrong with the goods apart from they can't fit them unless we have electrical works carried out which will be costly and which we can't afford,

 

he has the woodburner and our money but could say we can have the woodburner back

(obviously we don't want it back as it's no use to us)

 

so were hoping that because we hadn't seen the item before it was delivered we would be covered by the consumer contract regulations

We spoke to a solicitor yesterday who says we are covered by the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2015 and are entitled to a full refund.

 

We have once again emailed the guy,

advising he has to give us a full refund within 14 days of our cancelling in writing which we did on 31st Jan,

 

solicitor says if he doesn't refund by 14th Feb he will take up on our behalf.

You don't need a solicitor. You can do it yourself for free

you cant reclaim solicitors costs so you would be better off staring a claim yourself.

We can advise what the procedure is and what to put in the claim.

 

It is usual for the sller to pay up once the claim form hits their doormat as they know that you arent going to let the matter slide.

 

You have been a member long enough to work out how to navigate the forum and to pick out the relevant bits

so from now on you dont use email,

you write proper letters and send them to the business address.

We also put a couple of our emails in the post to him, and sent via signed for post,

he has signed for them so can't say he hasn't received them..

 

solicitor would just send a letter and if he still doesn't pay up we would go through small claims court,

 

I will come back as and when I need help with the forms etc.

 

Thanks for the advice so far

This bloke is still ignoring us, he won't reply to anything we send and hasn't issued refund.

 

Come Wednesday when the 14 days are up for issuing refund as per Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013..

.can we just issue small claims court procedure?

 

Been reading about pre action protocol but not sure if that is applicable in this case?

if you have sent a letter telling them what you want and when you expect it by and warned them that you will take court action to recover the amount owed plus expenses then yes, just get on with it.

 

For the CRA it is the date you raised the matter that is important, not the date of your last action.

 

your solicitor should have made this clear both to you and in his letter to the company.

 

It may be that he didnt knowing very well that he would then generate further business by doing things slowly

We've not used solicitor for anything more than a free phone call...

.we have letter before small claims all typed up and ready to send if he doesn't comply with refund by end of 14 day period,

Yes If you threaten to do it, make sure the second the timeframe elapses, you file that claim. Be professional with it. Don't feel you have to be kind to them. Get the claim in, and you want nothing short of a refund as a result.
