    • Even a Piers Morgan is an improvement and a gutless Farage Piers Morgan calls for second Brexit referendum WWW.THELONDONECONOMIC.COM Piers Morgan and Nigel Farage have faced off over Brexit and a second referendum in a heated reunion on BBC Question Time.   “Why don’t we have another referendum about Brexit?” he questioned. “I seem to remember when 2016 came around we were told there was going to be control of our borders and it was going to be economically beneficial to this country. And eight years later we have lost complete control of our borders… and economically it seems to have been a wilful act of self-harm.”   ... Piers missed off : after all somebody said a 48/52 decision would be "unfinished business" by a long way - was that person just bul lying (again)  
    • when did they (who) inform you there was a 'police case' and when was this attained? i will guess the debt is now SB'd as it's UAE 15yrs. have you informed the bsnk ever by email/letter of your correct and current address? you can always ignore anyone else accept the bank,  Block and bounce back all emails. Block any text messages  Ignore any letters unless it's: - a Statutory Demand - a Letter Of Claim - a Court Claimform via Northants bulk.  
    • I left Dubai 8 years ago and intended to return. However a job prospect fell through. I’d been there for 15 years. I decided to pay my credit card and the bank had frozen my account. There is no means to pay the CC so completely unable to pay when I wanted to other than the bank advising me to ask a friend in the UAE to pay it on my behalf!  fast forward bank informs there is a police case against me for non payment. Years later IDR chased me and after months/ years they stopped. Now Judge & Priestley are trying their luck. Now I have received an email in English and Arabic from JP saying the bank has authorised them to collect debts. Is this the same as IDR although I didn’t receive anything like this from them. Just says they are authorised?
    • The neighbour's house is built right on the boundary so the side of their house is effectively the 'wall' in our garden separating the two properties. It's a three storey house and so the mortar poses a potential danger to us. Because of the danger, we have put up an interior fence in our garden to ensure we don't risk mortar dropping on us. That reduces the garden by 25% which is not only an inconvenience, but it's the part of the garden where we had lined up contractors to install a patio and gazebo which we will use for our wedding reception in less than 2 months. We have spoken to the neighbour's caretaker who is on the case, has spoken with a roofer and possibly a scaffolding company, but there are several issues. They don't seem to understand the urgency. As long as there is a risk of falling mortar, we can't carry out any work in the garden, and unless they hurry up, we're looking at cancelling our wedding as it's not viable to book a venue because we can't use our own garden! Also, they want to put the scaffolding up in our garden which would be ok with us if it was a matter of a few days and they hurried up, but there is a tree (most likely protected by the conservation area), so most likely they can only reach part of the roof with the scaffolding if they put it up in our garden. We suggested a roofer with a cherry picker but they seem to want to use a company they've used before. Any and all comments, suggestions, advice is more than welcome.  PS. does it make any difference that the neighbour is a business (ltd) and not a private dwelling?

    • 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.

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed the unusually high number of complaints we seem to be getting about the rent to own (BrightHouse clone) Buy As You View?

Looks to me like the company is two or three years behind BrightHouse, and maybe need a little helping hand at complying with consumer law and a serious crash course in customer care... ????

Any BBC researchers watching? Looks like your next target to me!

Interesting view Lefty given a couple of interesting facts

 

1. As Welsh Girl 123 correctly pointed out the company had posted the Service Directors name "Linda Davies" and contact number and email on this site.

 

2. As a result if one would care to check began resolving consumer issues ( A significant reason for the very existance of this site??)

 

3. For some reason the contact details were then removed by the site administrators and despite several emails have refused to explain the reason for this? Given the desire is to resolve consumer issues, one must rightly therefore ask the question does CAG wish to have constructive and productive diologue to improve consumer issues?

 

4. Clearly I am an employee responding so perhaps I can also expect to be removed?

 

5. To be fair I must say I have found your comments balanced and constructive generally advising consumers the best action whilst operating within the law.

 

6. Perhaps then given your stance a meeting and review of this company would be a way to achieve a clearer and fuller understanding,which I am sure the company would be more than prepaird to do.

A provisional check would appear to show that LD was asked to contact admin following the postings of contact details.

Whether this request was complied with,is not clear at this point.

 

No doubt Lefty will answer your other questions posed.

If I may say so Welsh Girl your posts appear to be very supportive of them,its also interesting to see that you have only just registered.

Can you confirm that you have no connections or vested interests here ?

Its not "naughty" it is against site rules to post details or links to emails without sanction from admin.

It would seem therefore that procedures were not followed and that site team removed the details as per the rules.

Hello. I am a representative of BAYV. I can confirm that two requests were submitted by email, asking permission to post responses on this forum. The time and dates are:

22 December 2009 at 3.03pm and 30 December at 10.06am.

Unfortunately we have not had a response yet.

At BAYV our only interest is to resolve any customer issues as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Fair enough.

I will relay the information to Admin.

You will need to give an undertaking to comply with site rules.

You should understand and appreciate,that there will be many here who question your motivations and intent,given the problems CAG members have experienced.

However time will tell.

 

It needs also pointing out that we have a very low tolerance of trolls,and any incidence of manipulation will be viewed as a negative initiative.

We also expect to see reporting of any resolved issues.

yes i must say very intresting reading .i think is the fact that welsh girl s mother is a customer having a valid problem with b a y v .the only person i found willing to help at b a y v was a loveley welsh lady kathrine jones director she grabs the bull by the horns.all the secret b a y v people know who i am this lady intervened when no one showed intrest when there washer burst into flames .

176 days me and mrs and 3 kids from 4 to 11 lived like hermits for 25 weeks .

we had no facilities no heating nowashing no cooking for 176days . no one gave a dam from b a y v to indeset . but give the woman her dues she got builders in stood no nonsense without katherine jones this would not have happened.no praises for no other in this company she does care .

but seperate b a y v im not impressed with at all have customer service problems . i was speaking to some one the other day and they had been threatened over the phone due to non payment sounded like brighthouse .lessons must be learned you cant treat customers like crap they pay your wages ........

Well, I must say... What a reaction to my original post! (Thanks to Martin for keeping order on here today - and yes, the bedtime reading was very interesting indeed!)

 

I have been finding it quite interesting at just how many BAYV threads have appeared in this BrightHouse forum lately... But, then again, BAYV do seem keep a very close eye on BrightHouse, and CERTAINLY have the same business model... I particularly like the way they try to hijack potential BrightHouse customers on search engines... (just type BrightHouse into Google and see what comes up first!) ;) ;)

 

Pretty clever that - so, you see, we have a very internet savvy company here, and one who thinks that, perhaps, by hijacking any threads on CAG with questions/problems/complaints about them, the said questions/problems/complaints will simply disappear and, thus, will NOT rate highly on search engines - just like many of our BrightHouse threads do!

 

So... As long as CAG admin are happy with BAYV registering in an official capacity (and their contact details are verified) I think it could, possibly, be of great use to all concerned...

 

But... I expect to see BAYV contribute to threads relating to them with CONSTRUCTIVE and HELPFUL advice, and NOT to simply provide a link to their customer service department. I also expect to see full CLOSURE on any BAYV threads. By doing this, it allows OTHER people to learn and benefit from any advice.

 

Any BAYV posts that do simply refer the complaint to their customer service department will be removed.

 

Cheers

perhaps as previously stated b a y v should have there own section you may consider.

i have numerous e mails from linda davies over 25 weeks resorting in no action at all.

so i am not confident at all about the help customers will get from her.

i also assume THE TRUTH RARE INDEED is also a member of the b a y v set up .can i suggest lefty for your consideration please.

my intrest in this company is well known no im not at all complimentery about the way they preform indeed.

but i found the operational director kathrine jones at b a y v in a month resolved part of my problem refurbished my kitchen cost of £8000.

damaged caused by a faulty washing machine .

this woman did more in a month than the rest of b a y v did in 25 weeks

so this is the lady u need to sort out these consumer problems seriously .

her words to me we take customer complaints very seriously.she did and quick .that is the type of person you need a lady of action not broken promises.

Hazeleyes,as much as I am sure your post is well meaning and could be of interest to people,You dont appear to have asked for nor given permission to post the links as per site rules.

Nothing personal-I have flagged this for Lefty to look at and respond further.

 

Thanks for understanding
