    • You can counter a Judges's question on why you didn't respond by pointing out that any company that charges you with stopping at a zebra crossing is likely to be of a criminal mentality and so unlikely to cancel the PCN plus you didn't want to give away any knowledge you had at that time that could allow them to counteract your claim if it went to Court. There are many ways in which you can see off their stupid claim-you will see them in other threads  where our members have been caught by Met at other airports as well as Bristol.  Time and again they take motorists to Court for "NO Stopping" apparently completely forgetting that the have lost doing that because no stopping is prohibitory and cannot form a contract. Yet they keep on issuing PCNs because so many people just pay up . Crazy . You can see what chuckleheads they are when you read their Claim form which is pursuing you as the driver or the keeper. they don't seem to understand that on airport land because of the Bye laws, the keeper is never liable.

    • 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.

Hello all...first post on this wonderful site.

 

I have a samsung LE40N73BD 40inch LCD tv which is nearly 2 years old and cost me £1200 plus delivery from currys online.

 

As from this morning it will not switch on.Tried new mains lead but not even a light on the front.

 

The TV has always been connected via a good quality surge protector as well.

 

On reading a few threads about Sale of Goods act I assume I can claim for a repair or replacement/Refund.

 

If I can do this, what are the things I have to do to start the process and how long does the process take.

 

Many thanks.:)

Hi Tony & welcome:grin:

 

Yes, write to Currys (email through the website poss).

 

Tell them it's not working & ask their procedure for getting it repaired or replaced.

 

Then take it from there depending on their reply.Maybe best not to go in all-guns-blazing quoting SOGA on first contact.

Faulty goods

 

The following are guidelines for all goods ordered for delivery. For Reserve & Collect items, please see in-store Terms and Conditions and your receipt wallet.

Wherever possible we will respond to your individual circumstances.

If there is a fault with your product within the applicable product guarantee period (normally 12 months from delivery) or other defect with your order, we will normally offer a prompt repair service. You will always have the option of an exchange or refund if the fault occurs within 28 days of delivery. In all cases we reserve the right to inspect the product and verify the fault.

To qualify for a refund or exchange the product must be:

- in otherwise 'as new' condition

- complete with any accessories and free gifts offered with it

if possible, with the original box and packaging

If a pre-recorded videotape, DVD, CD, minidisc or other software is faulty under guarantee we will happily exchange it for the same title or offer a refund.

You can either return the product to a Currys store or phone Aftersales on 0844 561 1234 to arrange a collection. Aftersales is open from 9am to 8pm, Monday to Friday, and from 9am to 5pm, Saturday and Sunday. Any refund due to a fault or other defect will include a refund of the applicable delivery charge.

THIS RETURNS POLICY DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. DETAILS OF YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU OR CONSUMER DIRECT.

 

 

When they start to wriggle about "12 months" then you can quote Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended).

ok....sent a polite email asking them to repair tv free of charge 4 days ago(monday).They havn't even replied.

What do i do now .

 

I'd wait a little longer for a reply. No-one's going to reply until they have a solution. Four days is pretty unrealistic for a reply, where as ten is probably fairer.

You'd probably be a million times better off going into a store and actualy talking to someone about your issue.

 

I'm fully expecting people to respond with "he shouldn't have to *insert legal jargon here*". But e-mails, and phone calls are no replacement for a good face to face chat with someone who has the power to get the ball rolling.

 

Although they will try to tell you, your out of your 12 month manufactorers warantee, just let them know your making a claim under the sale of goods act, as your product is not sufficantly durable. Although in my opinion I think that the manufactorer should be held responsible for issues arising from their item not being durable enough, anyone would think currys made samsung tv's. But anyway thats outside the scope of this topic.

Ok

I know this post was a while ago but I have been having the same problems with my Samsung LCD flat screen TV recently where it won't switch on and appears to "click".

This is a problem with the power supply and capacitors which "burst".

 

A simple search on line will reveal to you that Samsung have been trying to cover up the fact that the components in their systems are of not up to standard and they have admitted that there is a problem to me over the phone. They have tried to say they haven't but it is a recorded conversation so they can't say otherwise.

 

They are trying to "secretly" upgrade affected systems, but the power of the Internet hasn't allowed this to happen, type in - "my samsung lcd wont switch on" and see what comes up.

 

The Sale Of Goods Act refers to the retailer so you must take it up with them firstly then they must pursue the manufacture - you do have the six year rule which states - the goods have to be fit for purpose.

 

My TV has had the capacitors changed and it still didn't as they had "fried" the power supply and it looks like it will be two weeks before i get it back, so what I am going to do is set up a forum on Facebook to shame Samsung in addressing this disgusting situation over their product.

 

I hope this helps but it does appear Samsung have been supplying shoddy goods to unsuspecting customers for about 3 years.

They are and i taking this further - Samsung should be ashamed over this situation there is no warranty to cover this they doing it " as a gesture of good will" (sic).

If you search you will find this problem is global - I know this is anecdotal but the engineers that came out said the TV's are cheaply made with bad components - kind of sums thing up.

I am sitting here listening to our Samsung 'clicking' away merrily in the corner of the room . . . . . As it has been doing for just over an hour. We bought the 42 inch LCD just under 3 years ago BUT, due to family reasons, left it in the dining room, boxed and un-opened, for around 14 months. We have been using it since then for aroound 20 months. About 4 weeks ago, the dreaded 'click' caught up with us and progressivly got worse. A couple of minutes 'clicking' before powering up then a couple more til we are where we are today. Having read some articals/posts regarding this fault, it seems that we would be better to go and buy a new tv rather than embarking on the uphill Samsung struggle we have read about. Any thoughts?

Hi there,

after reading your reply to my post I urge you to contact Samsung Do not get a new TV it is a known problem with this tv the capacitors on the power board burst they are under powered . samsung know about this problem ring them and they will arrange a repair.

They will say its a gesture of goodwill accept it but make them aware you are not happy about a design fault.

My capacitors had burst it took 20 mins to fix but still wouldn't work so it was taken away for a power switch to be replaced now it's fine for the moment as they only replaced 2 of the four capacitors so we are waiting to see what happens.

The number for samsung is posted here not sure where as they changed there number when you ring up make sure you have your model number and make

Shhhhhhhhhhhh! Just go off the phone Samsung. Success it seems. I am told that their engineer will contact me within 3 days to arrange a service call free of charge. Customer 1. Capacitors 0. I hope. Thanks for the advice. Got a baby a month away from arriving into the world and glad not to have to spend on a new tv!

 

Samsung number as follows-0845 726 7864 --- After a couple of option choices, all simple and sorted. Well worth the call.

Hi, I am hoping this will reach some of you who are experiencing this problem and thought that the only option available was to go out an buy a new TV. I called Samsung direct today (01932 454358) and very politely explained the problem I had with my TV, explained that I had googled it and found that 1000s of others had this problem too and asked if they had a recall on this product at all, as I had researched that it is the capacitor that's gone. The guy on the phone just took all my details and said someone will phone me to arrange a time to come to my house to fix the problem free of charge. There was no passing my call from pillar to post, it was one simple phone call. I was really very, very impessed with the way my call was dealt with and thought that I was going to have a real figh on my hands as the tv is over three years old, with no extended warranty. Hope this may help others.
