    • A little reminder of what the water crims are charging us to do       With the untreated sewage discharged into our waterways there is not just excrement - but all the diseases associated with diarrhea and sickness
    • Morning all, a while since I've been here....I contacted my bank regarding the matter and they took the decision to take "charge back" action against QVC, I initially got the money back and then letters from QVC basically stating I had defaulted on my payments and owed them the money Nationwide had claimed back, just as BF speculated they would. In short I repaid QVC to avoid having debt collectors after me, and having contacted CAB am now in the process of writing to Evri outlining my claim. CAB provided me with a basic template for the letter so I'll see how that goes. Regards.
    • Well you could say that you have pictures where the signs were not on the wall where you parked so would require strict proof of when they were erected . But in any case it was dark so even if a sign was there you didn't see as it was not illuminated. Little point in not having signs that can be seen at night though it obviously makes it easier to issue PCNs and pursue motorists claiming they have breached non contractual contracts whilst breaching those same motorist's GDPR.
    • It fizzled out, they kept delaying the complaints process. In the end I believe they stopped charging me for a bunch of services, unsure if it was deliberate or a mistake so I stopped bringing it up. Ultimately we bought a house and moved out.
    • There are so many factors, and local elections are often far more about local issues and people, but the one previously general rule in a general election are that the hard core Tories vote Tory and hard core Labour voters vote labour   Gaza seems to have dulled both the muslim and Jewish labour votes more than the Tories - and I can see why - but do the muslim voters really think that the Tories will do ANYTHING other than talk and then do whatever the Americans say - and thats support Israel whatever they do first and foremost in real terms? Reform has unquestionably affected the Tory local vote - so should affect the GE vote a bit more, but has largely been factored in - reform isnt new in any way - its all Brexitish although there seem to be far more ex 'conservative' core reform/ukip/brexitish voters than ex 'labour' core voters - about 6-8% of the national vote in a GE seems to me. A little up on prior brexitish/faragits scores But the large swathes of center ground voters who decide who wins the election seem to have utterly deserted the Tories in their millions - although they have gone to labour, libdems and greens - and many real conservatives are in limbo despite Sunak being naturally more a thatcherite than most - his party currently seems far less so. Johnson promised much, and many were taken in, just as people (inc me) made that mistake with Farage in the early days - but we now know that they are self serving liars who can't be trusted with anything - although I still think it likely The Liar will be back - but most likely after the GE (60/40) Starmer is lacking in charisma and presence, but others in his cabinet should shine. But Corbynistas could still cause trouble - another group that seem happy to drag everything down if they think it suites   Johnson perhaps could reunite some of the Tory party - but he seems to have numerous criminal and political convistions sitting in the background should he try Lying about giving preference to dogs in the Afghan evacuations - and lying about it Unlawfully proroguing parliament embezzlement re funds and spending (eg flat referb) .. repeatedly Taking jobs before he should after being booted - should lose his PM pension and rights over that IMO the list goes on ad nauseam

    • 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.

My daughter and her friends have gone into town, they have gone into a certain shop, purchased a handbag for £3. Paid with a ten pound note I had given her, and walked away from the till. Took half a dozen steps then realised she had been given no change.

 

She immediately went back to the till, and was told basically tough, you should of checked straight away! Give us your phone number and we will ring you tonight if the till is up.

 

My daughter has just rung me, and is so distressed.

 

Before I go to the shop guns blazin.....what should I do?

My temper got the better of me, and I went to the shop.

 

I asked what had gone on, and she validated my daughter's story. Yes she had the receipt still which showed she had given £7 change.

 

I asked why the change hadn't been offered to my daughter, and the slales girl said she couldn't remember, and to wait until the store had closed so she could check.

 

I told her she should check now while I wait. There were 2 other tills in the shop and it was very quiet, as what would happen if she made another mistake and gave too much change out??

 

So she apparently went to call head office, came back and said she needed to count it out by hand. And low and behold within 5 mins she gave my daughter her change.

 

A tiny victory I know, but one that my daughter is proud of. :)

Just as an aside, the shop (any shop) is NOT legally obliged to give a customer change!

 

Yes I know it sounds silly, but it would be perfectly legal for a shop to take the money you tender for goods and NOT give you any change at all.

 

Obviously that doesn't happen in the real world (except on buses that display EXACT CHANGE ONLY or parking machines that state NO CHANGE GIVEN), but it's true and perfectly legal.

 

I'm glad you got your money back though £7 is a lot to lose because of human error

Reference or citation please Mossycat.

 

Royal Mint says:

 

Both parties to a transaction are free to agree to accept any form of payment whether legal tender or otherwise according to their wishes. In order to comply with the very strict rules governing an actual legal tender transaction it is necessary, for example, to offer the exact amount due because no change can be demanded.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Mossycat is 100% correct...Consider vending machines that state "use exact cahange" or "no change given".

 

However it would be commercial suicide for a shop to impliment a no change policy.

Yep, and that's exactly why they give change.

 

Just as another aside the reason why a lot of retail prices end in .99p is NOT because £9.99 sounds cheaper than £10.00 and therefore tempts you into buying it, it is because of change.

A customer who buys something at £10 and pays for it with a £10 note might not wait for a receipt, but if the goods are priced at £9.99 most customers would wait for their change, which forces the sales assistant to ring the sale through the till.

 

The .99p pricing was introduced to reduce staff theft because they couldn't pocket the money paid and had to ring it into the till to get the change the customer was waiting for.

you think £7's bad

 

once went into the bank and put £400 in, it hadnt gone in next day so i went and asked to be told "theres no record of the transaction".... they asked if i had the reciet from it, and i pointed out i hadnt been asked.

 

they closed the area of the kiosk down and checked the staff members till that had apparently not been cashed up overnight?????

 

found the £400 fortunatly cos i was ready to kill someone that was our holliday money

Its a simple contract issue.

 

The marked price is an invitation to a treat - so if you pay for an item costing £5 with a £10 note... you are the one offering to pay double the price.

 

If the seller does not want to give change then it is their choice... as the customer you either pay the correct price or don't buy the item at all!

I know all that but would still like to see it in black and white or it becomes just another myth.

 

Tendering £10 for a £5 item is not offering to pay double the price unless you make that obvious.

I think that is about as black and white as it gets!

 

The leading cases on Invitation to treat are; Fisher v Bell [1961] and Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain v Boots Cash Chemists Ltd [1952].

 

None of these cases concern someone not recieving change, but they do state that where goods are advertised in a shop, there is no offer by the shop keeper.

 

Therefore it is the customer that makes the offer. So, if you did hand over £10 and the cashier said "i will not be giving you change", you would not be able to demand change.

the answer is in fact there is no LAW that requires change to be given , therefore it cannot be shown in law

 

however a shop / retailers etc etc would be stupid if they ran on , exact price of goods only and did not give change, however there is no actual law to stop them,

 

the giving of change is a service that is offered free of charge, and it can be withdrawn at anytime

 

there are many self serve facilitys that do not supply change such as vending machines, and in most cases they will have a sign saying "NO CHANGE GIVEN" simply because people would be complaining left right and centre,
