    • An update! I emailed both Andrzej.Tuleja and James_Goldsmith at Whirlpool dot com. I got a phone call from their executive team a couple of days later, and a replacement part dropped on the mat a week after. She was quite apologetic, however, also reiterated the "90 day warranty" period on customer fitted parts, and did not comment when I mentioned that the CRA also applies as I was a consumer buying from them directly. So I now have a spare door switch if the machine decides to eat another in the future! Cheers all!   Note dx100 that the "Hotpoint CEO" you linked to is not related to the hotpoint appliances, but some kind of marketing app.
    • yep, throw that morality card out the window....9/10 you never owe a DCA ANYTHING!! they are NOT BAILIFFS!!
    • (See the link to DVLA’s INF188/6 document I posted above, page 4 as cited) “I have a new medical condition that I have told the DVLA about on my recent application. Can I drive? As soon as the DVLA receives your correct and complete application for a new licence and as long as you meet all the Section 88 criteria, you may drive. It is important that you are satisfied that the medical condition you have declared on your application does not stop you from driving. If you are unsure, check with your doctor or healthcare professional before you make a decision. You can also look up your condition in the ‘Assessing fitness to drive’ guide, which you can find at www.gov.uk/dvla/fitnesstodrive to see whether you meet the medical standards for driving. As this guide is intended for healthcare professionals, it can be complicated. Your doctor or healthcare professional should be able to help you if necessary." It seems that DVLA think that S.88 does apply for applications disclosing a new medical condition after all. Why might this be so, and what of “qualifying application" and "relevant disability"? S. 92(1) imposes on the driver a requirement to disclose a relevant disability. S.92(3) requires the Secretary of State to refuse such an application disclosing a relevant disability ….. EXCEPT S.92(4) requires the Secretary of State to grant such an application if the relevant disability is “adequately controlled”. Hence my belief S.88 can apply for medical conditions (if the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive) as the application remains a qualifying application IF the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive, until DVLA (on behalf of the Secretary of State) say it doesn’t, provided the driver believes they meet the (medical) standard. Additionally, at (or before) June 2013 (as noted in my previous post) the medical standard for fitness to drive for conditions involving excessive daytime sleepiness was changed from “completely controlled” to "adequately controlled".

    • 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 there.im new to this. with the help of the forums i have started a claim of £809 to natwest for unfair charges for goin overdrawn etc. i sent the pre lim letter to which stuart higley replied (& it was'nt even his signature!) and he refused to give me a refund saying he believed the charges were fair and properly due on my account as its my own fault for going over drawn and those were the terms i agreed to when i opened my account. So i sent another letter telling him i was going to take legal action if i didnt get my money back and i thought it was unlawful cos he couldnt prove that the charges were'nt making a profit. Anyway he replied within 2 days saying "i regret that there is little that i can add constructively to my last letter and note your proposed course of action. i have alerted our lawyers & litigation department accordingly."

what i want to know is do you think i will get my money back? im a little scared now. i dont want to end up going to court and spending money and come away with nothing. please give me some hope people! i want my money back!

let me know what you think.

thanks

kerry.

Yes they love to try the scare tactics. I guess for them the few people that they manage to scare out of even trying saves them losing any money and spending time!

 

I also think you will get your money back if you stick to your guns, don't let them intimidate you at any stage (cause they will try all the way) and use the knowledge, support and info base on this site. Believe me i was scared to and after i sent my initial letter and my LBA they basically told me don't bother cause i wont get anywhere. Then after they filed their defence they sent me another letter saying that they beleive that my case wont stand up in court and they're going to ask the judge to throw it out, so again i shouldn't bother. Then they offered me £600 (they owed me £1136) and said that i should take it cause i was lucky to even be offered it and if i didn't accept it they were going to tell the judge that i failed to accept a reasonable offer. Then finally after we had both completed our court allocation questionnaires and i was waiting to receive my court date, i received a cheque in the post for the full amount. Reason being that they said it would be more cost effective to pay me than to spend the money on legal fees!! Honestly i was pooing my pants about the thought of going to court, but it's just a matter of calling their bluff and dealing with them in the same way that they deal with you. Just make sure that when you communicate with them you are always to the point and that you always carry out the next action that you have told them you will and stick to your scheduled course of action, otherwise they will think that they can manipulate you and of course Natwest love stalling for time.

 

Good luck and keep us posted!

hi there everyone. im now ready to make my claim after being refused a refund by stuart higley twice, but since i wrote my letters i have since been charged a further £100 or so on my account. am i allowed to add these charges onto the £809 i mentioned id be claiming for in my letter or will i have to write to the bank again with a separate claim for these?

im really getting fed up with being charged now. should i just close my account to stop the charges? i already have another account so i dont really need to use this one anymore anyway. let me know your thoughts. i really want my money back. im so fed up.:confused:

thanks for reading

kerry.

Hi I would claim the charges right up to date, then quote the dates from & to the last one on the claim form. Nat west never seem to give the solicitors the spreadsheet anyway!

 

Only my advice though, I am sure one of the really experience members will advise you x

7th June mcol £30 + 276.00 + int17.37=£323.37 Abbey

Accepted £291 chq cleared 28th July

7th June mcol £120 + 1135.02 charges + 83.42 chq for £1438.44 paid to bank 2nd Aug
