    • Sorry but first of all you are still referring to your six-month right to reject – but you didn't assert your right within six months so this is not relevant. The situation is that you cannot reject the vehicle unless it is a write off or you have been deprived of the use of it for a significant period of time so that it can be said that you have been deprived of substantially the whole benefit of the contract. By my understanding that is not the case here. Your complaint must be that they are in breach of contract because the vehicle is not satisfactory quality. Clearly because of the way the windscreen was fitted it was not satisfactory quality when it was purchased and it has not remained in satisfactory condition for a reasonable period of time – witness the leakage and the corrosion in the car. On this basis you are holding them responsible for the cost of repairs which are £XXX and any ancillary costs reasonably incurred as a result of their breach of contract. You are currently without the car and this is not a situation which can continue. You are enclosing the evidence plus quotations for repair and you want that by the end of the week you want them to agree to the repairs. Broadly that. Please post a draft as soon as possible. You don't want to hang around on this
    • Hello folks  Got a letter from overdales the day after I submitted my defence this contains a copy of credit card agreement and a letter stating the account has been sold to lowell. H
    • Seen a number of videos online of interviews with people in town centres around the UK. Those that say they will vote Reform can accurately be described as 'Gammon Faced'. So frustrated with life in 2024 and yearning to switch the clock back many decades, they don't really care about the policies of Reform. What appears to appeal to them about Reform is an old fashioned nostalgic outlook, of trying to get the country back to how it was a very long time ago. Yes much of this is about immigration, but it is also about many other issues such as Equalities legislation, Human Rights etc, which they believe have gone too far. For the above reasons, I don't think many who are looking to vote Reform, will switch their votes back to other parties they have voted for before. From what I have seen in polling, 70% were previously Tory and about 30% Labour. The Tories under Sunak can no longer appeal to those who now back Reform. For example, I doubt any Tory Government would support leaving ECHR, because that would most likely be opposed by the majority in the UK. And many Tory MP's would not support leaving ECHR and the House of Lords would block anyway ignoring any conventions to give way to The Commons. A combination of Brexit, Reform lead by Farage and the average age of this voter demographic is quite likely to lead to the extinction of The Conservative party. What may happen after this election is that the right of politics splits into new groups. Some Tory MP's are likely to jump ship and join Reform. And others will try to relaunch the Conservative brand as a centre right modern party. This could possibly lead to the Lib Dems becoming main opposition party at some point. The outcome of this election could well significantly change UK politics forever. And it is not just about the future of the Tories, Labour with a huge majority may find it difficult to keep some on the left happy with Government progress on tackling some issues. So we may see a fracture within Labour support and new parties formed.

    • 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.

Ignore them.

 

You are wasting your time sending letters to a machine that only responds to Cheques, Postal Orders or Cash.

 

The chances of a home visit are small, not worth worrying about, and you have no obligation to be polite to them if they do turn up. In fact, this is your opportunity to get on your soap box and tell them to go forth and fornicate - and you should take it!!

 

Relish the opportunity to say your piece, while so many others suffer in silence.

HOIST BY THEIR OWN PETARD.

 

Blimey it works....:-)

Well, there you are!

 

Dannyboy660 and I obviously have a completely different way of playing this, but I suspect both are equally valid. It really is just a case of personal choice. It is like a chess game. Some players are naturally aggressive, while others play for position and look to counterattack. There is no right or wrong way.

 

I totally agree that there is no need to be polite or anything remotely approaching it. The idiot who disturbs you is doing so in the full knowledge that they are a pest, a nuisance and that what they are doing is totally immoral and totally unwarranted. If you annoy someone, expect them to be annoyed. One plus one equals two.

 

Sequestration? So, you are in Scotland? We need to bear that in mind, because some parts of the law are different up there. Best not to send them any letters quoting "English Common Law."

 

I can understand your concerns about your mother. That is a common problem with these threats. If she will be there and you won't be on Wednesday, just tell her not to answer the door as there have been reports of dodgy characters in the area. You don't have to say exactly what type.

 

There is still a good chance that this is all bluff. I hope you are in a nice rural part of Scotland where travel will be very expensive and time consuming. Durness, anyone?

I do like the chess analogy.

truecall doesnt work on mobiles but if you google call blockers there are some free and some really cheap downloads that create white and black lists on your mobile to get the same effect

 

further, if you have asked them to stop pestering you on the phone and they have refused- invoice them the cost of the truecall and tell them you are deducting it from payments you are making or from the amount they allege you owe

Thanks again folks,

 

I wont be in when these numpties are planning on coming so I will just have to leave a note for my mum incase she's here.

 

Scabhunter - I am indeed in Scotland, and changed and letters accordingly, although I can quite imagine they wouldn't have even noticed they arent the brightest sparks! I do live rurally so if they want to waste their time and fuel I'll just leave them be.

 

Diddydicky - Thanks for that info re the blockers. It was Mercers/Calders who were really pestering me but so far *fingers crossed* I havent heard from them for a week now, its been bliss!

WARNING: PROTECTION FROM HARASSMENT ACT 1997

 

WARNING: COMMUNICATIONS ACT 2003. s127.

 

Telephone Number: ££££££

 

Re: Harassment by Telephone

 

11th December 2008

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Alleged Account Number £££££££

 

I am writing in relation to the telephone calls I have received from your organisation, which I deem to be personally harassing. I have requested that these calls stop, and for a time they did; however I have today received yet another unlawfully harassing and distressing call from ££££.

 

I now require the telephone number listed above to be completely removed from your systems.

 

I am in the view that your renewed calling puts you in breach of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.

 

This is a private telephone line, operated on a contract with the intention of receiving and making personal phone calls, I have not authorised any other member of my family to receive calls from your organisation using this PRIVATE TELEPHONE LINE.

 

By using this telephone number without my permission you are interfering with my ability to use my own private property for the duration of any call.

 

It is my right to require that this telephone line, which is licensed solely to myself, be kept clear for my own personal calls.

 

It is consequently my view that you are committing the tort of interference with contract insofar as for the duration of each call you make to me without my permission, you are interfering with my contractual right to receive and make personal calls on my private telephone line.

 

Continued interference with my contractual rights in this manner will result in legal action.

 

If you continue to harass me by telephone, you will also be in breach of the Communications Act (2003) s.127 and I will report you to the Office of Communications, Trading Standards and the Office of Fair Trading, meaning that you will be liable for a substantial fine.

 

Be advised that all telephone calls from your company are recorded.

 

 

Kind Regards

Sorry this is off topic but could I use that letter for other purposes? Its just that I keep getting sales calls from an organisation called "The Money Club" and one other based in India both of whom have been asked several times not to call me and it drives me nuts. Again sorry to digress from the thread.

Dont worry these people have NO POWERS.

 

1. DO NOT BE TEMPTED STOP TALKING TO THEM (they will have to write to eventually)

 

2. Unless yo give them permission no one can come to your house.

 

Please read this link.Preventing Enforcement - Going Debt Free (UK)

 

I have written many letters threating them that if they persist I would take legal action and it usaully works.

 

Good luck

Hi and thanks,

 

TBH I cant be bothered anymore - I dont see the point in cca'ing them if I'm putting in for my own sequestration anyway, unless I'm totally missing something?? I have depression and an anxiety disorder which is just getting worse and these people and only one of my many worries
