    • We used to recommend that people accept mediation but our advice is change. The mediation process is unclear. Before you can embark on it you have to agree that you are prepared to enter a compromise – and that means that you agree that you are prepared to give up some of your rights even though you are completely in the right and you are entitled to hundred percent of your money and even though EVRi are simply trying to obstruct you in order to discourage you and also to put others who might want to follow your example off from claiming even though they have a legitimate basis for reimbursement. Mediation is not transparent. In addition to having to sign up that you are prepared to give up some of your rights, you will also have to agree not to reveal any details of the mediation – including the result of the mediation – so that the whole thing is kept secret. This is not open justice. Mediation has nothing to do with justice. The only way of getting justice is to make sure that this matter goes to trial unless EVRi or the other parcel delivery companies put their hands up and accept the responsibility even if they do it is a gesture of goodwill. Going to trial and winning at trial produces a judgement which we can then add to our small collection to assist other people who are in a similar boat. EVRi had been reading you around by the nose since at least January – and probably last year as well – and their whole purpose is simply to drag it out, to place obstacles in your way, to deter other people, and to make you wish that you'd never started the process and that you are prepared to give up your 300 quid. You shouldn't stand for it. You should take control. EVRi would prefer that you went to mediation and if nothing else that is one excellent reason why you should decline mediation and go to court. On mediation form you should sign that you are not prepared to compromise and that you are not prepared to keep the result secret but that you want to share the results with other people in similar circumstances. This means that the mediation won't go ahead. It will take slightly longer and you will have to pay a court fee that you will get that back when you win and you will have much greater satisfaction. Also, once you go the whole process, you will learn even more about bringing a small claim in the County Court so that if this kind of thing happens again you will know what to do and you will go ahead without any hesitation. Finally, if you call EVRi bluff and refuse mediation and go to trial, there is a chance – maybe not a big chance – but there is a chance that they will agree to pay out your claim before trial simply in order to avoid a judgement. Another judgement against them will simply hurt the position even more and they really don't want this. 300 quid plus your costs is peanuts to them. They don't care about it. They will set it off against tax so the taxpayer will make their contribution. It's all about maintaining their business model of not being liable for anything, and limiting or excluding liability contrary to section 57 and section 72 of the consumer rights act.  
    • Nice to hear a positive story about a company on this form for a change. Thank you
    • too true HB, but those two I referred for starters - appear to be self admitted - One to excuse other lockdown law breaking, by claiming his estate away from his consistency and London abode was his main home the other if he claims to have 'not told the truth' in his own words via that quote - to have mislead his investors rather than broken lobbying rules   - seem to be slam dunks - pick which was your law breaking - it seems to be both and much more besides in Jenricks case Starmer was director of public prosecutions yet the tories are using seemingly baseless allegations for propaganda and starmer is missing pressing apparent blatant criminality in politics
    • I am sure the resident experts will give you a comprehensive guide to your rights.  The responsibility lies with the retailer. I have dealt with Cotswold before for similar. And found them refreshingly helpful.   Even when I lost the receipt for one item I had bought in Inverness. The manager in Newcastle called the store. Found the transaction and gave me a full refund.

    • 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

 

I hope you can help me, on the 13/04/2018 there was a credit card trasnsaction made with Ryanair to fly from Manchester - Madrid and Madrid to Tangier Morocco on the same day.

 

We normally travel to Morocco every summer to our home in Marrakech. We always book direct flights either from Manchester or Liverpiool.

 

This transaction is unusual as I normally travel with my three children all aged under eleven.

I immediately informed Halifax who raised a dispute against Ryair as it wasnt a fraud since the details matched.

 

I have explanied to Ryanir and Halifax that I did not authorise nor recognise this transaction as its completely bizarre.

We have an excellent record of using our credit card no issues with purchases and payments and to be honest we are planning on paying it all off very soon as we have less than £300 remaining.

 

I am so upset and stressed as I dont want to pay for anything that I have not purchased or bought.

 

Today Ryanair have advised Halifax they they will not refund on the grounds are as follows:-

 

1) Details of passengers match

 

2) No refund policy

 

I have spoken to Halifax at length that the evidence provided by Ryanair does not substabtiate to the fact that it was I who booked the tickets and under their 'no refund policy' it is an easy escape route.

 

We have prerviously booked tickets with Ryanair flying direct to Marrakech from Liverpool and London.

Never once complained - however this transaction is so bizarre that firstly it is pointless booking a one way ticket to Madrid from Manchester then waiting around couple of hours to fly out from Madrid to Tangier.

 

Now from Tangier to my hometown is further 5 hours drive to Marrkech when I could easily book direct flight to Marrakech and be there in my house within 3.5 hours from the UK.

 

Between the connecting flights there isnt much time to explore, its a one big rush to one side of the airport to another.

I say pointless because having 3 children and making them rush to one gate to another would be foolish and injustice.

 

I have also offered the bank to check my previous travels that it will show that I have always travelled direct without any stops.

I have no family, friends or flats in Madrid and Tangier and I feel that Halifax is being so unhelpful by applying pressure that I should make this payment.

 

Please could you advice what I can do?

 

Regards

Never been to spain cannot recall every using my debit except buying a play station few month before.

What is section 75 reclaim?

 

I have been dealing with Halifax's dispute team who then put in touch with Halifax Represents who have advised that Ryanair will not uphold and have resubmitted the charge.

 

Halifax is providing inconsisted messages saying that the email I have recieved today was sent on the 04/06 when I only received this today.

I feel that I am poorly mistreated and Halifax is not doing much to help me :(

You really shouldnt be going into all the detail you have outlined in your initial post.

 

If you have not booked the tickets...you want a refund of the fraudulent transaction...end of the matter.

 

No need to go into detail of flight paths and connections and number of children... Ryanair have to disclose proof you booked it.

 

13.7 Fraud

 

13.7 Payments must be authorised by the cardholder named in the booking. We withhold the right to cancel your booking without prior notice if we reasonably suspect that you or the cardholder are associated with any kind of fraudulent activity. Such suspicion may be based on the following activities:

 

13.7.1 You cannot present the card used to make the booking at the airport, if asked to do so;

 

13.7.2 You cannot provide, when questioned, contact information for the cardholder so that we may carry out security checks;

 

13.7.3 The cardholder did not authorise the payment and claims that the booking is fraudulent;

 

13.7.4 There has been previous fraudulent activity/chargebacks by you or the cardholder;

 

13.7.5 Information given while booking is erroneous/inadequate/inconsistent/linked to fraudulent behavior; or

 

13.7.6 There have been multiple payment attempts with inconsistent data entered.

The only proof they have provided to Halifax is a log of passenger details and card details and nothing else. I argued that still does not prove that I did this however Halifax keep saying its not fruad as the details on the booking match to actual people involve. Their interpretation of fruad is if someone uses your credit card and falsley makes a claim with incorrect details.

 

 

 

For that reason I was transferred to Halifax dispute team who liased with Ryanair and who then arragonatly return the chargeback to Halifax. All the details above has been requested by Halifax.

The IP address of the computer used to make the booking would be valuable information to indicate where the booking was made from. Ryanair should be able to provide this information, if they can't, then that would suggest their record keeping is sloppy.

This is the email Halifax have sent me today:-

 

Card Number: **** **** **** 7047

Transaction Details: RYANAIR

Transaction Amount: £415.49 & £377.31

Transaction Date: 13/4/18

 

I am contacting you regarding the above disputed charge.

 

Unfortunately we are unable to assist further due to the dispute being describes as a “Do not recognise”, but due to your details being on the documents the merchant have submitted we are acting within MasterCard Regulations and cannot progress further with your case.

 

As we had already credited your account with the same amount, it will now be necessary for us to re-debit your account, which will show on your next statement.

 

PLEASE NOTE: When replying, please include your case ID (CCE-), initials, full surname, your post code and the last 4 digits of your card number. To help protect your identity and stay safe online, please do not send any further information regarding your identity by e-mail.

 

Yours sincerely

 

I have explained my case to them and it seems like Halifax are in favour of Ryanair.

 

One of the members highlighted that Halifax have an obligation to protect its customer.

 

What shall i do now gents?

There is no form you simply inform Halifax you require a Section 75 claim...but given your last post..looks like they wont entertain one and are satisfied that Ryanair are correct to process the charge.

 

Court Claim is now your only option...if you can prove you didnt book it....

Hi Andy,

 

Given the fact that Halifax has sided with Ryanair what how can prove that it was not me who booked it? they can check my IP address although that information was never disclosed on Ryanir provided evidence.

 

According to Halifax's dispute information in order to request a claim under section 75 I have to write to them detailing what has happened.

Hi

 

 

 

Just to keep you folks updated this was the last response from Halifax :-

 

 

am contacting you regarding the above disputed charge.

Thank you for your email, although as per my colleagues previous email, we as a processing team are unfortunately bound by strict MasterCard regulations which gives us no further rights of recourse with returning the above two charges to the retailer.

 

When you initially raised the dispute with us, we followed our process by reviewing the merchants documents in which they have re-presented to us. However as you raised the dispute with not recognising the transaction on your account, we reviewed the merchants documents and followed MasterCard regulations. Upon reviewing we took note of your details evident on the merchants documents, and following MasterCard regulations if your details have been provided then we have no right in being able to assist you any further with your claim.

 

We understand that this is not the outcome you were hoping for but unfortunately in this instance there is no further action we can take.

 

In view of the above information it will therefore now be necessary to re-debit our temporary credit which we applied to your account when you first raised the dispute with us. We try to help where possible but in order to reach a satisfactory outcome you would need to contact the merchant directly, as per MasterCard regulations we strictly do not have any rights to be able to issue a charge back (returning the charge to the retailer), or able to assist you any further with your claim.

 

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

I am now in the process of liaising with the Financial Ombudsman in assigning an investigator to look into my case. They are keen to find out why Halifax have not done more to help.

 

 

 

I will keep you posted
