    • But I'm not mixing and matching. Sure, when researching I do check multiple avenues, but when speaking, I will open a single post. The Fb post was made in March, it is now June, time has passed, and when the suggestion was made, no further information was given on how I should progress beyond "send a letter", which has meant that I've needed to start another stream - this one, but only after taking the time to research first.
    • hes not turning you away he is simply saying that you should stick to one channel of advice. he is perfectly happy with that channel being this forum, and he will help you   all he is saying, and I agree, is that you should stick to one help channel, not mix and match 3/4
    • As long as we are clear . Do the reading and post your letter of claim in draft form as requested and we can go from there.    
    • Hold on @BankFodder, that was a bit harsh. I spoke with the EVRi complaints Facebook group to begin with, a user on that group told me to send a letter but didn't give any specifics. Here at CAG, I was looking more for specific help as I've never raised such a claim before, and wanted to be sure that my claim was correct, which is why I've researched information with the other groups too, to be sure; but you seem to have assumed that I've made some form of contact with the other groups, such that I find your comments and tone to be very unfair. And I do know a thing or two about forums, that forum users are unpaid volunteers, I happen to be a Tableau Ambassador, and so perform a very similar role helping others in an unpaid capacity

    • 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, what a great site. Finally got off my backside and sent DPA letter {rec delivery] on 23/6/06. I found two years of statements on line and they owe me £606 with interest! Can't wait to see what they owe me after six years. I'll let you know what happens.

Right. I didn't get a reply for the "letter asking for it back" within 14 days, In fact they had 21 days! but still they couldn't oblige. Perhaps they are a little snowed under. So i sent my L.B.A. on the 31/7/06 Then would you believe it I had the standard reply letter to my first letter dated 26/7/06 but \I got it on 1/8/06, six days seems a long time for second class. Ready to do my moneyclaim on 13/8/06

Had a letter from Northampton CC (22/08/06)- DG solicitors intend to defend all of this claim. Then in the very same batch of post a letter from DG offering me half! In the meantime FD 'stole' another £80 from me. So I 'phoned them up asking for it back, got put through to a nice lady, she said we won't give it back,so I said 'no problem' (intending to add it to my claim). She became a little upset that I wouldn't argue or rant and rave at her. She ended up saying 'why won't you discuss this matter with me'? IN the and I had to make my excusses to get rid of her. So I wrote to DG with-'half will be ok as an interim payment, but i'm still claiming the remainder, and by the way your clients have***** another £80 off me please add it to the total'. I'll see their response before ammending my claim with the court-they might save themselves an additional £35 in costs.

 

Edited;please dont use libelous words !

Hi ant, I listed First Direct PLC. That seemed to be OK as far as the court are concerned. DG solicitors refer to their clients as HSBC Bank plc (trading as First Direct) I guess either will be OK. Go for it!

Hi Philip - just about to proceed to 2nd letter with First Direct, and certainly awaiting your outcome. My daughter put me on to this site, as I have about £2500 over 6 years. She just got her money back after moneyclaims on line to Nationwide - but then they asked her to close the account.
