    • There's a thread somewhere about someone sending the baillifs against Wizzair that is quite hilarious. I would love to see someone do the same to Ryanair. Question is, should you be the one to take that role. You are entitled to the £220, if your flight was from the UK. If it was TO the UK I suppose it is more of a grey area... though the airlines I know have been using £220 as standard. Not that surprising for Ryanair, the worst cheapskates in the universe, to go for the lower amount, and if you forward this to the CEO he will probably have a jolly good laugh and give his accountants a verbal bonus. After all he's the one who said and I paraphrase "F*** our customers, they'll fly with us again anyway". While we would all love to see Ryanair get wooped in court again, I have to join my fellow posters in thinking it's not worth the hassle for (hypothetically) £7 and not sure it will expedite the payment either. It's already an achievement that you got them to accept to pay.

    • 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.

Landlords do post here and quite a few landlords are available to answer questions from a LLs perspective

Thanks Becka I'll try that.

 

And Jen, you're joking, I scrolled through posts here after I posted and found one landlord who appeared set upon like wolves by everyone. Nooo thankyou, I'm already in fear for my safety and sanity.

 

I have popped a suggestion over to the administrators of the site to possibly re-name this forum 'Advice for Tenants' so landlords dont wander into the wrong side of the stadium too often, I hope they do.

 

Peace.

un-bloody-believable.

 

Shame that you have edited your original posting- you needed a lot of advice, believe me, I saw that posting. Shame about your delicate sanity level- if you think a few posts could affect you, maybe you should not have lodger (NOT TENANT) who dares to cook, listen to music and shower.

As for the "wrong side of the stadium"- puuhlease, you do not know what you are talking about. This is one of the most helpful, polite, informative, respectful, impartial, up-to-date and passionately caring forum in UK on matters of tenant/landlord laws, on par with much older Landlordzone. The contributors here get very rarely frustrated with posters and are quickly brought to order by others- I know, as I am the one with a potty mouth and short fuse!

 

Fancy someone popping in for 2 seconds and shooting their mouth of like this! !!

only one? I count at least 3 excluding the knowledgable Joa who seems to know things from both angles. Splitting the forum will mean hardly anyone will be available to advise the LLs even though some tenants do know about the relevant law despite not being landlords themselves.

 

slightly irked now (at the OP, not admin who are just responding to a request)

The reason there are more threads about tenant problems is simply because more people post them.

 

Well spotted demon. More tenants have problems with landlords and less access to resources then landlords who have problems with tenants. Nothing, absolutely nothing to do with us hounding landlords away (although I did try very hard once, but am reformed :cool: )

Not wanting to slate the admin, but lets remember that all the OP has done, admittedly misguidedly, has put a request in. The admin jumped in(IMO somewhat heavy handed) and done the changes as mentioned. I do not want to slate them too much, as a) I dont want to be slapped down and b) I do generally think they do a good job.

 

My only request would be that before admin act on such a request, they analyse the context behind it. In this situation, as the user in question had only just posted on this section, it would have been nice to ask the regular posters in this section their opinion and consult on this basis, as they are the most likely people to know the potential effects of such a change. At the end of the day, this forum would not exist were it not for the regular posters in particular areas, and this should maybe be remembered when making such wholesale changes. In particular, and with the greatest respect to the admin, they do not know the aspects of letting law, and therefore do not know how interlinked the two sides of the coin are - the regular posters do(I hope!).

 

I hope this has not appeared as too negative - just want to basically make a suggestion for future reference :)

True MrShed.

 

To be fair the OP could have just left his question while admin investigated though, now we're all talking on a half-dead thread

Nevermind, I can see this isn't the place, I dont see any landlords posting.

 

Could an administrator possibly re-name this forum 'HELP FOR TENANTS' ??

 

Landlords do not often post questions it is agreed. However, I see LOTS of landlords posting - in response to questions by tenants. For example myself, and I know of at least one other regular poster here who is a landlord. I suspect that all of the regular posters in fact(with one notable exception - you know who you are!:D) landlords themselves. This is due to the simple fact that you do not get this kind of level of knowledge purely as a tenant or an onlooker - you get it by being a landlord - generally speaking.

I do not want this whole forum to become a grumble point for this change, and so my post above will pretty much(!) be my last on the subject - I feel my point is made.

 

The only thing I want to add is that I hope BankFodder will do as he suggested on the other thread and rather than just change it and thats it done with, maybe in a few weeks consult with the regular posters in this section and ask their opinion on how it is running. It is easy to say that the issue will be reviewed - quite another thing to actually do so.

I'm just in it for the banter MrShed (and you all love me really), lol. I've managed to aquire some random knowledge of everything, comes from dating a law student who loves tax law like I love chocolate. I like to think I contribute something useful every few months or so :p

  • 3 weeks later...

Hello, this is my first question so I hope its in keeping. I am about to rent out a property for the first time. I wondered if someone might give me some advice about getting bank references for a tenant. When I have been a tenant, I have filled in a standard form and ticking a box agreeing to pay for the reference and giving my account details. Is this acceptable? If so, where might I get such a letter and will it be acceptable to most banks? Many thanks in advance

oh, it was something truly ridiculous; she's had a lodger whom she wrongly believed to be an AST tenant, she was outraged because the lodger used kitchen and a bathroom at night, she was totally unreasonable in her expectations of what lodgers could be allowed or could not- she needed a lot of help and correcting. And worse of all, she stupidly whined that there should be a separate forum for tenants and landlords (the irony of it- she not even a landlord!!) and the site owner believed her and split the perfectly working landlord and tenants forum into two separate ones. Well, we have been promised that the situation will be reviewed and that the forums might be put back together....
