    • I'm unsure about going to court because it takes a lot of time and can be stressful, and there's no guarantee of winning. I'll still ask legal for advice. NLRA suggested making a MoneyClaim, but I'm worried it might cause problems and end up spending more if goes wrong.         
    • If you have legal cover and insurance, you can try going ahead with your Insurer. They may be able to refer you to their "Legal Partner" but do your research.  If you know where 3 of them live, you can attempt to take them to court, but in todays climate, going legal will not get you the result of £15k that you are after.    Others may have their own input - But in reality you are asking for £5k from each of them - Might find it hard to recover that in a timely manner.  Like I said earlier - Your option maybe to take the hit now and factor it in to future tenancies. 
    • I have insurance that covers legal matters for this property, and I can confirm it with the insurance company. I also know where the tenants currently live, as all three have moved to the same place. There's been a lot of mold growing in the property over the past few months. All the builders who came to look at it think the mold grew because the windows were kept closed, lack of heating. In the past few months, they haven't used much gas or electricity, as shown by the smart meter I checked. Recent trace and access report says there's no water leak in the property. I have lots of photos from when I moved in until now. But in court, more people usually want to sue the landlord, not the other way around.
    • simply write to them, offering one months fee, give them 14 days to accept. if they sont accept, ignore everyone. Harlands too! and the extra £20 penalty is not allowed either. thread title updated. dx  
    • So technically you could push it via the courts with the clause in the AST (I remember seeing something about this recently)  However if one has left the country - It might make it hard to recover it all from the others.    How would you look to bring action against all parties involved? Do you know where all of them currently are?  You can service to last known address but as you know they have moved on - It could be held against you by a judge if it goes all the way.    I think you need to consult a solicitor on this one - Its a complex claim against multiple people rather than a simple Creditor vs Debtor claim we see here.

    • 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 need some advice

 

we bought a vw t5 which had few problems with engine and gearbox

 

we decided to give it to a company to rebuild the engine and gearbox at a cost of £5300

 

in may 2017 he said it would be about 4 weeks

eventually we pick it up sept 2017

 

from the day i got it back it smoked ,the company said run it in

it never got better

 

then we got an oil leak from the rocker cover gasket which was to bad to drive back to company as its about 100 miles away

it cost me another £620

 

it kept smoking

i called the company again and he said it was our cheap turbo,

 

we had it taken off to find it was fine except the silicone sealant on the gasket which he denied doing,

eventually he convinced me enough to change the turbo, another £1000

and after this it still smoked

 

i decided to take it to a vw specialist else where

they stripped it to find quite a lot of things wrong

and its going to cost about £5000 for the engine build and gearbox as that has never performed correctly either.

 

They can provide photos and proof of poor workmanship I have sent a letter recorded asking for a refund on the advice from CAB , with no response, what should I do next?

Well it sounds as if you've been led around by the nose – and enjoyed it.

 

It's about time you stopped all this nonsense and took control.

 

Which is the company that has done this work?

 

You need to get an independent expert opinion of the quality of the work done and what is needed to repair it.

 

Do this quickly. It may cost you But on the other hand you don't seem to be averse to spending money.

 

Once you have your expert diagnosis, should then get to independent quotations for doing the work – and make sure you go to reputable places this time where you will also get guarantees.

 

 

Once you have this, then you should probably go straight ahead and send them a letter before claim giving them 14 days or you will start a legal action. If you're not prepared to do this then don't bother. Don't bluff – just give up.

 

We are happy to help you. Which company you dealing with? Also maybe you can tell us more about the vehicle – what's its value?

It would have been much better not to have started the remedial work yet but to give QCS Engines notice of it and give them an opportunity to carry out their own inspection.

 

As you have already started, I suggest that you contact QCS Engines immediately and let them know what is happening and give them a copy of the written quotation that you have.

 

Tell them that in view of the ongoing problems with them and your need for the vehicle, you have decided to mitigate your loss and put the vehicle into a reputable repair immediately – but they are free to carry out their own investigation if they want and to contact the vehicle repairer for further information.

 

This will look much better for you in court because otherwise they may say that they were given no opportunity to consult with potential repairers or to carry out their own inspection.

 

It seems to me that you have excessively delayed sorting out the problem – and all of a sudden you are doing things in a rush. Definitely the wrong way round.

we were in the position that having paid out all that money it wasnt running right and to take it back for him to land us with another massive bill and be without the van for a further 5 months wasnt possible.

 

we took it to vw specialist not expecting what he has discovered but instead something simple that had maybe been overlooked

we are left horrified at the engine build we have paid for has to be as good as re-built, parts missing and poor workmanship things have been codged.

Well get it all in writing – and get it to the other side as quickly as possible. It would have been better to get the diagnosis and an independent quotation and then provided to them before beginning any work. However, you have started the work so make sure it is all properly documented, photographed – whatever so that it is fully recorded.

 

You will need to have a full assessment of the work which was done by QCS Engines so that you can then proceed against them. You need to be as open as possible and let them know as far as possible what is happening.
