    • How much of the documentation have you seen from when probate was obtained? And do you have a copy of the original will? I can't remember. My thought about you making the decision on your own to go with another lawyer is that three of you are meant to be beneficiaries of this will trust, aren't you? Normally you would need to act together. HB

    • Hi guys, I am about to file my defence via email as cannot log in to the claim anymore.  Can you please advise if I can paste below and if it's good to go for now, or should I add anything else in?  Thanks!  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4.  The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made.  1.  The Defendant is the recorded keeper of vehicle xxxx xxx.  2.  It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant - Parking Eye LTD.  3.  As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance.  The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner.  Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim.   4.  In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant.  5.  The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer.   6.  The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety.  It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • Ooops - one to many also s..... my draft reply should read as:  Thank you for your response Mr Schnur  I set out my position quite clearly in my letter of claim and nothing has changed. Your insurance requirement is unlawful and is contrary to section 57 of the Consumer Rights Act, and also section 72 of the same statute. I would also refer you to the outcomes in PENCHEV v P2G (225MC852) and SMIRNOVS v P2G (27MC729).  My deadline for action - 1 May 2024 - still stands, and if P2G wish to avoid the addition of court costs and interest to my claim, you may wish to respond positively before that date.

    • 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.

Hi

Hope somebody can help me? Sleepless nights and tears of fear 3 weeks later and still no car.

I took my car to my local garage/mot centre which i have been using for a few years now. It failed the mot due to wear and tear of brushes and arms. when i went to pick the car up which was just being finished off when i arrived they could not get it to start.

 

2 days later they still had no joy so they called SEAT dealer (IBIZA) and they informed them that it was a common fault on this particicular car and year that the link on the timing belt had slipped off and was just coincidence that it happenened in the garage.

 

I called SEAT dealer who confirmed this and said that a special repair/part pack had been specially put together for this reason and if they did the job then it would cost approx. £300 and a couple of hours to carry out the work. I asked if the garage would be ok to carry the work out and they didnt think there would be a problem!!

 

another 3 days later the garage have told be that they are having problems getting a seal off to get to the engine and that when they spoke to seat and asked if they would do job they refused?? why I do not know but i will be going to visit seat dealer tomorrow to see if this is true. the garage have said that they will continue to do the repair but they have not quoted me a price and said that they would not be charging me a large amount of money!

 

I am at the end of my tether I just do not know what to do, who to turn to, or my rights, can anyone please offer me some advice?

 

I dont think the garage would rip me off as they know I am a single parent student nurse and have always charged me the minimum but i dont trust them

with my car now

 

many thanks

having looked at some other forums it seems that this is a common fault!

Have sent an email to watchdog as someone suggested. Is SEAT at fault

for not recalling. I brought my car from SEAT originally?

thanks

Thats nice.

 

The garage is trying to help you, after all, it's not their fault the car failed whilst they had it for an MOT.

 

They are trying to fix it for you, but they are struggling a bit. You already were a returning customer to them and they have advised they will not be charging you a lot of money.

 

So what do you do? You come on here, use the phrase "Rip Off" in the title and say you don't thrust them and e-mail Watchdog.

 

Unless there is something you have omitted to tell us, I think that is a bit unfair.

I agree with Hammy, but he is not the most tactfull of posters. :)

 

If this in an inherent fault with that car/model, and Seat have said so, then you would be wise to ask Seat to reimburse you the cost of the repair and on failure to do so, sue Seat for the cost of the repair.

Actually I emailed watchdog about Seat not about the garage!!!

apparently it is a fault that has now got modified parts to replace the faulty ones!!!

Also I was asking a question (garage rip off???) Yes the garage was trying to help but not doing a very good job of it as they had my car for FOUR weeks and never called me even though I asked them to with any progress.

They also admitted to taking on a job that they should not have and charged me £400 for completing it, but the dealer SEAT quoted me £350.

 

I dont think I was being that harsh do you?

Well, Seat, or is that VW.............. Anyway all manufacturers modify there designs, parts and available spare parts, some revisions are cosmetic, some durability, no one instigates a recall unless it safety related. Cam belts are, unfortunately not safety related, they are generally a service item. Some manufacturers have extended terms on commonly failing parts, some pay 100%, some pay 0%, some pay somewhere in between. It's still not the fault of the poor sod MOT'ing it.

 

How on earth can you blame the garage for having your car for 4 weeks and not ringing you, presumably your telephone makes outgoing calls as well, ring them. If any garage had my car longer than 2 day's I'd be ringing them daily and then hourly.

 

I would suppose they took the job on to help you out, this is all the thanks they get.

Sounds to me like you have been ripped off alright. Always be weary of any garage that omits to mention the ACTUAL cost before you agree to any work. They didn't seem to know what they were doing, yet charged MORE than the main agent?

 

Sorry you feel insulted by some member(s). This is normal with this and every forum I have been on. Someone gets on their high horse and starts judging people they know nothing about. Not everyone is like that, although this particular forum does seem to have more than its fair share of people who know very little, but talk an awful lot.
