    • This is the info that I have. Name of seller... Thomas Stone. Reg LG51UOV Driven 109,000 2001 ford escort van 55 Price paid £500. (I know that that's stupidly cheap for a van, but my son wanted to take it apart, and put it to gether again) His address st margarates drive gillingham kent. We live swindon, so over 2 hours away. My oldest sons machanic inspected it . Sorry I don't know if I'm reading this right, but NSR wheel cylinder leaking NSR Shock mounting corroded  Rear cross member corroded  Rear number plate light missing Brake compressor valve seized Hand break cables insecure O/S Seal to floor repairs are very badly done Dash lights are painted out Bonnet ( This is all he wrote here.) Brake pipes are covered in black doodoo ( This is what the machanic wrote). My son asked Thomas Stone if it would need lots of work, for it to pass its next mot,  Thomas Stone said , " I can't see it needing mega amounts of work, for it to pass, it isn't rotten and it starts and drives ok, and the brakes work well".

    • Appreciate your response BankFodder. I am aware that the Consumer Rights Act does not apply in my case as I operate a business and, instead, should rely on the Supply of Goods and Services Act and Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. I was a little unsure as, when I read the judgement of Hashim Farooq v EVRi Parcelnet, July 2023 I presumed that,  as Farooq had supplied laptops through Amazon,  the Consumer Rights Act would not apply but the judge refers to it in Section 22 as to why the claimant should be given judgment. Have I read this correctly? The reason for not offering full reimbursement was because I did not take out insurance for the full value.  In regards to correspondence from my customer,  I have emails from her in my timeline stating that she was waiting all week and that no one attempted delivery.  I have no doubt that she will be willing to corroborate the events with a written statement.
    • When you post information here you will have to post it in single file multipage PDF format. Follow the upload link. However, it would be more helpful if you could simply answer the questions that we have put to you and we can deal with paperwork afterwards if we think we need it.  
    • I was trying to post all the paperwork that I have, namely facebook ad, messages between the seller and my son etc . But I'm getting the message that the files are to large.

    • 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.

They arent even in Glasgow, she obviously thought because she had a Scottish accent it was more plausible.

 

She said that she already had the number for OFT, and I replied that I can understand that she probably did, and that I daresay her company has a lot of dealings with them, then i hung up.

 

I've been looking forward to them calling all day but havent heard a thing.

 

 

Theyt do have an office in Glasgow.

It doesnt really make any difference, I refuse to deal with them because the debt was in dispute before it was passed to them... what can they do? They can ring... they can write threatograms but they cant actually DO anything. The alleged debt is unenforcable, has a dodgy DN and has been terminated.... Let them do their worst.

Can some one explain this to me please.

 

I rang my pet DCA today....as I do on my days off to have some fun and Antoinette, if that's her real name said " I need to aks you some security questions ".

 

" AKS " I said, "what does aks mean?"

 

She got very upset and hung up on me.

 

I've noticed a lot of them say "Aks".

 

What does "Aks" mean and am I missing something?

Actually it is proper English (not Jamaican), its even found in Chaucer.

 

Around the 14th century the word 'ask' underwent a metathesis (2 sounds or letters swap place.

Wikipedia would disagree.. they say it is actually a speech error.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metathesis_(linguistics)

 

Although I don't know whether I would believe much of what's on that site.

 

But like you say, aks was around along time ago and both aks and ask were used together. That doesn't explain the Jamaican / Carribean use of Aks because would they have been speaking english in the 14 century?

 

Perhaps its just a posh way of saying axe:rolleyes:

Oh I have no doubt the said DCA woman wasnt using it as an Old English word and was just a mispronunciation. I was just pointing out that it was originally "proper" English.

Sure.

 

She wasn't saying "May I aaks ye for thy paticulars...kind sir".

 

Definitely something else going on:cool:

As long as she didn't say 'ye' and actually said 'the' because that would be a mispronunciation of Old English and Early Middle English. ;)

You might want to get rid of the emergency service one as it's a criminal offence to impersonate even a BT operator routing and monitoring a 999 call. I know, I was one ;)

 

The others are great though :)
