    • But I'm not mixing and matching. Sure, when researching I do check multiple avenues, but when speaking, I will open a single post. The Fb post was made in March, it is now June, time has passed, and when the suggestion was made, no further information was given on how I should progress beyond "send a letter", which has meant that I've needed to start another stream - this one, but only after taking the time to research first.
    • hes not turning you away he is simply saying that you should stick to one channel of advice. he is perfectly happy with that channel being this forum, and he will help you   all he is saying, and I agree, is that you should stick to one help channel, not mix and match 3/4
    • As long as we are clear . Do the reading and post your letter of claim in draft form as requested and we can go from there.    
    • Hold on @BankFodder, that was a bit harsh. I spoke with the EVRi complaints Facebook group to begin with, a user on that group told me to send a letter but didn't give any specifics. Here at CAG, I was looking more for specific help as I've never raised such a claim before, and wanted to be sure that my claim was correct, which is why I've researched information with the other groups too, to be sure; but you seem to have assumed that I've made some form of contact with the other groups, such that I find your comments and tone to be very unfair. And I do know a thing or two about forums, that forum users are unpaid volunteers, I happen to be a Tableau Ambassador, and so perform a very similar role helping others in an unpaid capacity

    • 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.

For those of you that don't know...

 

I've been preparing a huge acrimonious Disciplinary Appeal for the last 6 weeks... I've finished it tonight, and the Hearing starts at 2pm tomorrow afternoon!

 

Fingers crossed then...!

 

:D

OK, here we go then! It's been an extremely long day...!

 

Got up at 4:45 this morning! :eek: Real PPL will know that there should only be one 4 o'clock in the day!! But hey even at that time it was a beautiful sunny day already!!

 

Did my rounds in the City Centre and got back and finished for Noon... Spent the next hour producing 2 full photocopy sets of my file. At 2pm was advised they were running 30 minutes behind schedule... @ 2:30 we went in...! :-D

 

The woman hearing the appeal is a GM from another depot in Yorkshire. She was stand-offish from the word go and had an air of superiority about her. You could see from her facial reaction when I produced my file and gave her her pack of my case file that she was only there to tow the company line.

 

I spent the next 3 hours throwing everything I could at her just to spark a reaction. I accused Supervision and Management of fraud, of presenting falsified evidence, of committing criminal offences, of ignoring ACAS guidelines, of ignoring Company Procedure, of committing offences under the Postal Services Act..... Nothing, no reaction, no surprised comment, a few snide remarks which were reciprocated. Nothing but a straight face to 41 pages of statementised evidence and 13 pages of supporting documents.

 

After 3 & 1/4 hours I concluded my case with 8 precedents. I declared my case complete and she declared the meeting closed, and I would get a written judgement within a calendar month.

 

So... A bit of an anti-climax really..

 

 

But..... I'm sooooo worn out now that I don't care!!! :rolleyes:

Yep! But in the mean time I can report for Employment Tribunal...

 

I can always stop it if the Appeal goes our way.

 

Must say thanks to pinkduchess too for that voddy blue! :-)

  • 2 weeks later...

Forgot to update this! :oops:

 

Appeal was denied and the original decision upheld. A total whitewash really.

 

The matter has now been reported for Tribunal. The good thing being that i've already prepared the case and won't have to do it again. :)
