    • Thank you both, I will make those changes. I have also downloaded the compensation list to add to the evidence and complete the protection bit off their website.  I am going to court next Thursday to deliver the bundle; I will confirm this on Tuesday. I have been to court a few times to represent the military when a soldier is in court, but I will be going. Thank you for all the additional advice. Once I have the whole bundle, I will email it to the admin email. Ill be honest, this is not about the money for me, I do not mind losing that, so I will not be signing a confidentiality agreement.   You guys are amazing
    • Actually there wasn't a massive amount of work to do on the WS.  The "meat" was there because of the great work you'd already done. Here is a version which I think is nigh-on finished. However, with Easter there are a few days for the other regulars to suggest tweaks. Defendant WS.pdf
    • Hi all, We bought a part to fix our washing machine approx 13 months ago direct from the manufacturer of the washing machine via phone. This part then failed 13 months later, as confirmed by their own engineer, who was sent by the manufacturer (who is also the retailer for the part) FoC. The engineer actually installed a replacement part, the machine came back to life, but they then removed the part used for testing (and ours reinstalled) as "we would be charged for it". The retailer are refusing to replace the part, stating that they only warranty parts for 90 days. When I stated that I believed the Consumer Rights Act gives me longer than that, they insinuated that it did not, and this was repeated by many representatives. AIUI for goods bought more than 6 months ago, I need to get an engineers report to confirm the part has failed? Or that it has failed due to manufacturing issues? Or would the companies own engineers report suffice? Also, does anyone have any other decent contact details for Hotpoint (or the Whirlpool group)? Thanks, GH
    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.

    • 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.

What about a CT appreciation website? One that looks rather similar, has all the keywords to get it showing in Google etc., but that has an alternative forum? :D

The domain name crudittotday.co.uk seems suitable and is available!

Righto. :D I see that as a challenge.

 

Let's see who's the first Cagger to register and post something.

 

Infiltration is my middle name.

 

Well I've still got an account, but it's in my real name and that would be a bit of a giveaway at the moment. I'll bide my time - maybe stalk big Ron a bit.

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.

Well if you have to mess around emailing to get on their forums, then even less will post on there. Ron will have nobody to boast to.

Yep, amazing how we all hit the 2000 posts landmark at the same time. Then in Feb it's this threads 1st birthday, and likely to hit the 100,000 viewings too. :D

 

We're going to have to do something a bit special for the 1st Birthday of this thread. It's too much of an important event to let it pass with just a few posts to celebrate.

Be good to have Crudit Today awards for 2009 too.

 

The tickets are £3-50 each and will be held at Maccy D's

 

Lots of articles about DCA's being crap, etc. Articles about the OFT slapping them.

 

In fact anything that shows the credit industry in a bad light should go on there.

 

Whats the betting we get higher ranked on google than the real site? :D:D

 

Feel free to use any of my videos on the site too.

I don't do a very good impression of a big fat lump of big-headed lard, so maybe we should invite the man himself on as a guest. We can then hurl virtual tomatoes and rotten eggs at him.

No need to worry about getting sued.

Should do the trick ;)

Which DCA should we bring down first?

I spotted this job advert on the Credit Today forum. I'm going out for drinkies soon, so won't have time to apply, but I'm sure there's somebody on here that will.

 

What interests me most is this statement: "Manage a team of Account Officers (AO’s)." AO's - a rather unfortunate choice of acronym don't you think?

Actually it should be, "This website is not libelous, even if read by you."

 

A nice disclaimer in tiny print at the bottom of the main page should do the trick. Think about what spitting image got away with. If you make it a parody you can get away with a lot more. :D

If you do, send me a copy.

 

Then we can have Uncle Ron, Uncle Bob, Uncle Charles, and Uncle Bryan Carter all appearing a Judge Judy Fuzzybobbling special edition. :D

 

He's got a profile on linkedin.com. I don't have business profile, but I could soon get one. If anybody already has one they could easily do a search.

Even more so now -

Credit Today online

...access will only be granted to members of the credit industry and representatives of recognised consumer bodies... :-o

Does this mean they do not recognise the Consumer Action Group as a consumer body ?

 

 

Definately CAG 1 - Credit Online 0. I can't believe they spat their dummy out so quickly.:rolleyes:

 

As for crudittoday.co.uk - lovin' it and look forward to seeing it in all its glory :D
