    • Ok, sure! The company is Community Fibre. The issue is that while my internet speed from tests is extremely fast, I still experience delays in loading websites, connection issues on conference video calls, etc. I called & spoke to an agent, who had extremely poor communication skills and kept misunderstanding the problem & going round in circles. After half an hour of this, I asked if I could speak with a manager, but was told none was available. He eventually promised one would call me back within 24-48 hours, but no call came. I have now written to them explaining everything,  I am waiting for a response (I have an acknowledgment of the complaint). The 'manager will call you back' is a broken promise I've experienced a few times from different call centres/companies over the years, which is why I was curious how others have dealt with that & if there's a good general approach to this. Virgin Media (whom I was with in the past, and had a number of issues) were notorious for a whole range of awful examples of customer service, and this was their favourite it seems!

    • 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.

Good luck with your claim :)

 

I'm not dealing with your branch, but it seems some branches are handling them differently - eg in my case I didn't get an offer, just a load of old guff about Financial Ombudsman etc. Some branches pass them (probably correctly) along the line to Head Office who may make a derisory offer.

 

Sorry can't help on Ulster Bank - try a forum search ?

Just had the man from the Halifax on the phone this morning offering £250, I said no, so he said his limit was £500, I refused that also saying i wanted FULL refund.

 

He said he would put his offer in writing anyhow, and if i wanted to persue full amount then I would need to go to court where Halifax would defend any claim !

 

Another 12 or so days until I can start small claims process!!

Yes, sadly this is correct : Halifax will not buckle until Moneyclaim is filed :( They will settle though - no-one here has gone to court, despite their feeble threats.

Thanks Clayts, from what i read i understand that to be the case. I am in Northern Ireland, and the small claims limit is £2k, plus interest and charges. so my claim will be for the full £2k plus interest and charges !!!

 

Will keep you posted on developments

Hi All

 

Halifax just written back and said they dont owe me anything relating to this claim so thats the end of it as far as they are concerned.

 

Do I need to wait for the full 14 days from first sending the LBA or can I file the small claim today!

 

Thanks
