    • The last photo shows the overflow carpark looking at the block which our room was located. When we got out of the car my partner thought that the building was for staff accommodation.  The unsecured bedroom window opened onto this car park.
    • Also I see that you are doing a lot of this on the telephone – and without any written confirmation. This is a big mistake. You need to start taking this matter seriously and so everything should go in writing. If you have telephone calls then they should normally be recorded. Read our customer services guide. You should make notes about every telephone call and then you should send an email to your telephone correspondence confirming what they have said or what they have agreed. It is important that you keep detailed paper trails here. Of course we may be jumping the gun and maybe big motoring world will step up to the mark – but I'm afraid that they have a lousy reputation has you have seen and so you need to start practising survival techniques and protecting yourself. You say for instance in your letter of rejection that the mechanic told you on the telephone that the gearbox needed replacing. Do you have any other evidence of this conversation? This is going to sound a bit harsh – but other people will be visiting this thread as well for their own purposes. You conducted their research about this company before you bought the vehicle. You now are fully aware that this is a company which can be very difficult to deal with and causes a lot of problems for many of their customers and yet you are still taking a telephone/verbal approach. Do I need to say any more? Also one of the documents you put up is an email exchange but it is not clear who is writing to who or what dates. If you showed this email to somebody in a pub they would be asking lots of questions about who sent the first message, who sent the second message, what dates were they sent et cetera. Please think about this before you post things. Please can you clarify the details of that email exchange. Please will you present the information carefully. We are all volunteers here and we have to rely on you to do the spadework
    • I told the DM that the room was not acceptable because of the reasons already mentioned. He informed me that they were full that night and that they could move me to the room next door (would not solve my problem with the rooms location). Told the DM that I could not stay in the room provided for the night so left no option but to leave. DM did not reply and I walked out.   IMG_1475.pdf IMG_1476.pdf IMG_1477.pdf
    • Please will you upload your documents in PDF format in future. It is unhelpful to have them in word format and also word documents will carry personal details relating to you and your computer.
    • Thanks for letting us know that you had a conversation with someone – I sort of imagined that you might tell us what the conversation was – who said what to whom…

    • 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've had an interesting letter in the post with regards to the development of a link road on the M4 which I believe is planned to ring round my house, though how close I'm not sure yet....

 

The letter says that I could be entitled to compensation for physical factors such as noise, dust, fumes, vibration etc and the effect on my property, associated with road use during construction and after opening.

 

It says that CTF are an established firm with extensive expertise in highway matters including Part 1 claims.

 

It relieves my fears (!) by stating that if I am concerned about fees, I can be assured that if my claim is successful all costs involved will be reimbursed by the highway authority - nothing I didn't know already BUT "if for any reason the claim should prove unsuccessful, then the issue of fees would not arise and the file would be closed without any charge to yourself".

 

And that's when they lost me.....I'm never a great believer that anything in life is free, so what gives? How can they state there would be no costs to pay?

 

I am intrigued by the prospect of compensation from this project, but a bit put off by a sol soliciting me stating I won't be liable for any costs. Anyone got an opinion? Just interested in what others think?

 

 

Cheers

Right.

 

Proceed with caution then? See what they have to say but don't agree to anything?

You can check out to see if the firm is a reputable company. If its a law firm check out the Law Society register. If its a claim management company there is also a register.

 

There is nothing wrong per se with hiring someone to do this for you indeed they may well be able to get more compensation than you would be able to yourself especially if they do specialise in this area. Its worth making an enquiry and maybe also seeking out other firms that could help and whether they offer more favourable terms or see if it is something you feel you are able to take on yourself.

 

Best to look at all angles before committing yourself and always read the small print :)

Ok cheers for your advice. The planned development hasn't started yet and it says my claim has to be in before the road is opened so I've got plenty of research time ;)

Hi

 

Takke a look at the following link to the Highways Agency

 

Highways Agency - Compensation

It states:

Compensation under Part I of the Land Compensation Act 1973 may be payable if you live near to a new road or road improvement but no part of your property was required for the development. Claims are normally submitted on or after the first anniversary of when the new road or improvement was completed. However, if you intend selling your house before the first anniversary you should advise the Highways Agency.

 

so it might be worth contacting the HA to find out if this link road proposal is for real and when for.

I may be able to advise you here because I work in something that deals with lands claims part 1. Whenever a major development is required then the developer is liable to pay any Lands Part 1 claims which can be made up to 6 years after completion of the works by properties that are affected - ie noise.

 

Quite often I find small companies deicde to contact people who live locally to advise them of this so they can make money on your claim. Usually a company will do a fly drop in an area where they learn a development is happening as all these have to be in local papers for the planning permission before they go ahead.

 

You don't need to use these companies and can complete a form to submit it yourself.

 

I suggest you visit:

Highways Agency - Compensation

 

there is a guide on how to make a claim but do call the number and ask for advise as this is something that is paid by private developers and not neccessary comes from tax payers money.

 

Hope this helps you.

not a problem, good luck on your claim and dont forget to ask about interest as well as this is usually up to the end date for all claims to be received by.

 

Sorry, can you explain? From the date of MY claim to the end date for all claims? Is that what you mean?
