    • Please go back and read my message posted at 10:27 this morning @jk2054. I didn't say that I wasn't going to provide documents, only that I will upload them to an online repo that I am in control of, and that I would share links to these. You shall still be able to read and download them no different from if they were hosted here. And, the issue I have is not so much with hosting, but using an online pdf editor to create a multi-page pdf, again I have discussed this that same message.
    • Thanks ,DX, I'd forgpotton about that letter and can't remember sending a SB letter. I must have left it and they did not chase. Unclebulgia. Yes several periods of no contact. Think its time for the SB letter . 
    • well if your not going to upload documents because you are too scared of your data being stolen and someone rocking up to you we are going to struggle to help you peoples energy data breach has nothing to do with a hosting site...

    • 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.

The worst thing is I don't sleep now.

 

When I owed the money I slept all night.

 

Now I lay awake all night thinking of my next telephone call, I'll think, 'That's funny' jump up, run downstairs and make a note next to the PC.

 

I still like the Idea of them ringing a crime scene ;)

When I sent a **** off the accounts in dispute letter to a new DCA I demanded a fiver to pay for postage. When they wrote back saying no, I wrote back a formal complaint, asked for a copy of their complaints procedure and doubled the bill.

 

I told them that their actions had caused me a financial loss when they weren't allowed to ask for money, it was totally avoidable on their part, so cough up immediately or I was going to report them to the FOS.

 

(I saw somewhere that the FOS ignore complaints that don't leave you financially disadvantaged)

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

The DCA staff are all too busy reading this thread and no longer have the time to send us any threat-o-grams. :p

 

Moorcroft are getting 4 letters from me on monday morning. I always time my annoying letters to them to arrive on a monday morning. It's the worst time of the week to have to deal with peeps like me, who hassle them with legal stuff they prefer to ignore.

Next time one of them calls I'm going to pretend to be a clown booking agency, and seeing as they are so interested in speaking to me prehaps I should come round and entertain them at work, with plenty of red hot custard tarts lol

Pretending to be very drunk and slurring your words works quite well. Then they say, "Well if you can afford alcohol,you can afford to pay us."

Then I say, "Yesssshh, tooooo right matey skip. But alas cannot pay you, because you have yet to prove I owe you anything." Burp loudly and hang up." :razz:

Aaargh!! Why won't they ring me lol I used to dread the phonecalls now I want more :p

 

I don't wait for calls from them. I ring them. I'm sure a warning flashes up on their computer screen when I call. I've even got a cheap mobile phone and disposable sim card, so I can hassle them from work too.

 

No amount of training can ever prepare a DCA call centre monkey for when fuzzybobble calls.

How about pretending they've rung 999 and then telling them the police are coming to do them for hoax calls.

 

Excellent :D

 

The 999 operator's script is 'EMERGENCY, which service? Fire, police or ambulance?'

 

Then, when they refuse to answer, say you have to transfer all hoax calls to the police ;)

Good one!

 

I hope inpersonating the emergency services is not a crime though! I'm sure the DCA's will say it is.
