    • Thank you. You contacted directly with the parcel broker so your best option is to proceed directly against them for breach of contract. I hope you have read enough to understand that you will not be able to rely on the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Do you understand why? Have Parcel to Go giving you a reason for declining reimbursement? Do you have anything in writing from your customer which shows that they did not refuse delivery and which identifies the actual circumstances of the situation?

    • 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.

I went in to work last tuesday and was told my employer was bankrupt and receivers sent me home after taking my work keys.

 

came as a complete shock after 7 1/2 years there tbh, my final wage wasn't even paid and for a week they wouldn't even tell me my employment was terminated. Despite me constantly ringing them, it was only after my wages were not paid that they decided to tell me and agreed to send me a termination letter.

 

I have about 7k in unprotected loans my credit cards are covered by PPI and my catalogue bill is so low it is immaterial.

My only default comes off my credit file in Feb2010, now i am looking at being in trouble with paying off my loans, what can i do about these loan repayments?

one is with welcome and the other with citifinancial, and needless to say i am paying horrendous interest rates to these people - i don't need them destroying my credit file after paying so much in interest over the years.

Do i approach them directly or do I use a debt management solution.

 

clearly i am due a considerable sum by way of notice and redundancy holidays wages ect from my employer. I have started the ball rolling on that and will be posting my claim on monday to the RPO - they are probably overwhelmed at the moment. In an event, that payment when and if it ever comes is likely to have to last us quite some time and i can hardly see myself giving it away in exorbitant +40% interest rates to the likes of thse lenders.

Any advice on what i should be doing here please?

 

My wife works 6 months of each year on a temp contact, due to this the CSA are cutting her wages in half as they say she owes them back payments. I am given to understand that benefits such as council tax and rent do not take this into considertion whe making awards. she is pregnant and leaving work in a few months and we have a 5 year old.

So presently while i have an appointment on tuesday at jobcentre to sign on we are having to live on £60.00 a week and pay rent of £80 elec and gas of £25 and council tax of £23 so as you can see i am only weeks away from a very serious problem in lieu of the fact i was not actually even paid upto date by my employer monies already earned and the receiver are blanking me and have frozen all the assets of my employer lol.

 

 

Quick advice would be appreciated in all honesty peeps.

 

 

thanks

i only have PPI on my credit cards not my loans and the total repayments on those each month is £350.00. I have already had the forms for PPI claims on CC's and will have to get some form from Jobcentre and send them it with claim so i have that covered.

I am rather more concerned with the uninsured debts i have tbh.

Do you have a mortgage? Redundancy is not the end of the world, though it may seem like it at the time. In fact, for many people it is an opportunity to evaluate what they like and dislike about their job, and even perhaps help them decide that they would like to change career.

 

It would be worth checking on the PPI policies to see if they will cover your minimum payments until you find another job.

 

It would also be worth getting in touch with a job agency as companies are hiring now for the Christmas period. What is it you do?

WARNING TO ALL

my CC ppi's pay 10% per month on o/s balance for 12 months.

i don't have a mortgage lucky me!! i could never bring myself to even think about taking that leap lol.

I am an engineer, i deal with access control systems ect.. i don't for a minute think i will be unemployed for very long. But one must try not to take a too optimistic view on things i this situation and given the ecomonic state of the country.

To be honest this will be my first time in a jobcentre and as far as i'm concerned if had been given my 7 weeks notice then i might well have had another job to go to, i have secured offers of employment a few times over the years to leverage pay rises :D. It is just the total financial shock of not even being paid for my worked weeks ect that has been a critical blow here. and of course even PPI's are 30 days behind so i am still having to make the minimum next payments on everything!!

And as i said before the loans are not covered by PPI's!!

I am posting here since likely others will get into this situation especially given the climate.

 

I contacted my creditors, funnily enough i phoned Welcome - they commented that in all the years i had run an account with them it had been conducted flawlessly - on that basis they gave me a 1 month breather to get things sorted. Then agreed we would speak further about if no redundancy payment had been received how they could reduce interest and take token payments for a period until i can get sorted. They advised me to cancel my DD on my end and they would do he same on there end. They didn't actually offer PPI when i murged what was left on my old debts with them into a single debt, so i personally don't think it is entirely my fault, but i am very happy that they were seemingly very helpful. Any payments of redudnacy to me would of course service loans without PPI for a very long time and maybe even enough to become debt free in 1 shot. My second loan provider i havn't contacted yet as i had just made a payment on it so i thought i could take a little break from the telephone.

 

Oddly enough the PPI providers are all placing difficult hurdles for me, i have a letter from the OR stating reason for my termination, i have pay slips complete from april to now. I have 7 full years of P60's, a letter or termination from my employer as well as a perfect reference - And still they insist i find my employerand get them to sign the f'ing page on the PPI claim form or send it to the OR to complete when he doesn't have the compabny records in his possession yet and couldn't complete it if he wanted. To cap it all off i phoned CC providers as soon as i knew what my position was - i was told my account was flawless so they couldn't actually do anything till it wasn't even though i told them without my last wages i couldn't meet the payment. Today i get a call from a RUDE woman on the phone from them requesting i make an immediate payment as it was due to them 3 DAYS ago ffs. HALIFAX IRELAND INSURANCE are idiots already trying to manuovre out of a claim they know full well is valid!!! by creating hurdles that are just not practical.

 

so far lenders - great help

c cards - don't know what the left hand is doing

insurance providers - a real big let down in a crisis, and already looking for loopholes

 

RPO - well intentioned but i don't expect any rapid pay outs there - although the limits rose from 350 to 380 on 1st oct so a little result there lol. They say 3-6 weeks so i expect nothing before xmas :(

 

Jobcentre - first words out of there mouth "rapid response" to pay for additional training/qaulification. As i try to wrap my 126 I.Q around that i will also consider that my claim to notice is already affected by my benefit claim automatically and do they actually think for even a single nano second that i would chose to diminish it further my getting a job within 7 weeks of my notice to reduce it further, or maybe save these insurance companies a few quid.:rolleyes:

 

Housing benefit - Total F'king a**holes tbh, they insisted that i provide months of bank statements for me, my wife, my 4 year old girl, proof of tax credit payments (bank statements are not sufficient need the award letter "does anyone who receives basic 10.50 per week tax credits actually still have these from april ffs. Also insisted i could get the statements over the counter and argue perfusely when i told her that was BS. Guess what? they all said post service and expect delays lol. Her other comments riled me also - your on a means tested benfit now sir so you will have to keep all this stuff - and it would have been much easier if i had claimed this sort of thing in the past years. no f'king wonder the council tax bills are so high here. So i don't know now how much rent i should be paying cos i don't know how much the will pay, i now have to stall the housing people and leave any new tax credit award in the bank just incase they say i got to pay more than is realistic. waste of space the lot of them!!!!

 

Tax Credit helpline - Absolutely first class service, got a payment increase within days and they took all the information i had and changes in cirumstances i know are coming (wife pregnant and going on maternity after JSA her PT contract ends in december) they calculated our entitlement and gave us a full months payment and then swicthed us to weekly payments. so we got some money to live on and we can leave the weekly payments as rent intention because we don't yet know what the HB will say we have to pay.

 

gas and electricity providers - too full of wanting to install pay as you go metering for my liking "to help me budget" lmao, they mean to make sure they can overcharge me. not at all helpful tbvh:mad:

 

Dowside - my F'ing phone bill is going to be huge far to many 0870-0871-0845 numbers to ring. seems a right shame as i have 600 free minutes month on my mobile lol.

 

Finally - the bank "yorkshire bank", very understanding and helpful with increases to OD to help with immediate problems - must confess i was a bit taken aback by there attitude cos they have never really been the listening bank if you know what i mean lol.:grin: But i left there feling much better i must confess.

 

All in all not the end of the world just yet - i hope lol.

so far i am thinking the most important thing is to keep proper lines of communication open with creditors and just keep pushing to get things sorted. no doubt i'll do all this and have a job in 6 weeks lol
