    • Daft question - but you filed the defence on-line on MCOL as dx indicated, right?
    • We looked up the e-mail address so communications would be in writing.  If you do stuff on the phone the other party can just deny the contents of the conversation.  They can't deny what's written in an e-mail. So time to sort Pete out.  Check the following for accuracy and change anything I've got wrong.  Then e-mail Pete this evening.  I was thinking of threatening the pub with legal action but let's initially be nice.   Dear Pete, Re: PCN no.XXXXX, claim form no.XXXXX on 23 July 2022 I was a customer at your pub and I attach proof of purchase. I was picking up my cousin Ms XXXXX and her family as she was working as a cook with you at the time.  I entered the pub through the back door, went to the bar, and ordered a drink and a meal.  At no point did any bar staff alert me that I needed to add my registration number or did I see any signs advising me to do so.  I then took a seat outside in a small seated area so I could chat to my cousin while waiting for her to finish work.  We were joined by the management of the pub and bar staff during my time waiting  I was shocked a few days later when I received a demand for £100 from Civil Enforcement Ltd.  i contacted the pub and was told "don't worry, it's not enforceable". Well, that information turned out to be nonsense because I have now received a county court claim form from CEL. I contacted the pub again on XXXXX and was extremely disappointed to be told "there's nothing we can do". Of course there is something you can do.  You are the organ grinder.  You called CEL in.  You can call your dogs off.  Your pub has absolutely superb reviews on Google Maps regarding the way in which you treat guests.  Do you really think customers should be dragged to court?  I'm sure you don't. I am therefore requesting that you intervene and instruct CEL to cease court action. Yours, XXXXX

    • 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 all,

 

Just need to some confirmation before I go to the Garage about this. I had 2 new tyres fitted on Monday but only noticed last night that they are not sitting flush with the alloys - the alloys stick out beyond the tyre. I'm not happy about it they are the wrong spec.

 

Now, I've gone back to the garage who got them fitted by a third party specialist tyre person. The garage say they will let the tyre person see if he will change them but he said he doesnt think he will change them as they are legal. The garage wont refund as they say I have no right as the items are tyres. Now i'm thinking thats a load of tosh.

 

The thing I need clarification on before i go there is can i say as well that they are not fit for purpose as they are not a like for like? Is it worth mentioning OFT to them?

 

Any advice gratefully received guys

have a look at the unreplaced tyres and see what size they are.

 

It will look something like 195/65r13 on the tyre wall.

 

Then compare this to the size of the new tyres.

 

If the new ones are not the same size then go back and ask for the correct size.

 

Also, you can check what tyres should be fitted to your car by going to a car tyre manufacturer website and search by type of vehicle.

Ok, checked. They are the right size but they havent got the protectors on to protect the alloys. Thats why the alloys stick out. I know its only a little thing but i just feel they should come out of the garage fitted the same as when it went in! He just said that 'you asked me to get 2 tyres'. I said 'yes, but i would expect the same as what they came in with!'

Latest is, that the tyre people have said that they will change the tyres but i would have to pay as they cant exchange as the no good tyres have had a day's use. They said the garage never told them that the tyres had to have the lip on them so its their fault and they will have to pay for them. The garage say they wont pay for them as they dont get cars in needing that size wheel.

 

Grrrrrrrrrrrr :mad:

I think the key question here is were the ones that they replaced have the protector rim on, if so they should of replaced them like for like, unless told otherwise and that should be your position. also quality were they the same make? they should be the same quality as the the ones still on the car not a lesser quality, so may end paying the difference.

Surely both these places actually know how to fit tyres??? You are in the right. Stand your ground!

Summanotre as i understand it the issue isnt with the fitting of the tyres its that unlike the previous tyres these dont have a rubber bead on the side wall to protect the wheel from damage if it comes into contact with a kerb, fair enough if northern lass had specified that the tyres be replaced with the same or for tyres with rim protection but from the posts above this doesnt appear to have been mentioned, northern lass what tyres did you ask for?

I see, I still think she should stand her ground based on the like-for-like issue. But Im no expert.

Thanks guys..... I stood my ground and they have changed them. They argued that they asked me if i wanted the expensive ones or the cheap ones. I (wrongly) assumed that either cheap or expensive - they would look like the ones they went in with... with the protective bead. But no. They werent a like for like. So, once again thank you :-)
