    • Appreciate your response BankFodder. I am aware that the Consumer Rights Act does not apply in my case as I operate a business and, instead, should rely on the Supply of Goods and Services Act and Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. I was a little unsure as, when I read the judgement of Hashim Farooq v EVRi Parcelnet, July 2023 I presumed that,  as Farooq had supplied laptops through Amazon,  the Consumer Rights Act would not apply but the judge refers to it in Section 22 as to why the claimant should be given judgment. Have I read this correctly? The reason for not offering full reimbursement was because I did not take out insurance for the full value.  In regards to correspondence from my customer,  I have emails from her in my timeline stating that she was waiting all week and that no one attempted delivery.  I have no doubt that she will be willing to corroborate the events with a written statement.
    • When you post information here you will have to post it in single file multipage PDF format. Follow the upload link. However, it would be more helpful if you could simply answer the questions that we have put to you and we can deal with paperwork afterwards if we think we need it.  
    • I was trying to post all the paperwork that I have, namely facebook ad, messages between the seller and my son etc . But I'm getting the message that the files are to large. 
    • First of all please can you tell us the name of the seller, something about the van – age/year, mileage, price paid. How far away is the seller from where your son lives? Who do you take it to for this inspection? Are they prepared to give you a written list of the things that they found? This is very important and you may well have to get an independent inspection from somebody such as the AA. This will cost you some kind of feedback we expect that we will be able to help you get it back. I would say that if you have to bring a court claim – which is likely – then your chances of success are better than 95% but the difficulty might be enforcing the judgement against the seller. We will have to no more in order to give you better advice. Does it have an MOT? What is the date of it and who gave it the MOT? I suggest that you start taking pictures of all of the defects that you can find.   Also I am going to say that I believe that you came over from Facebook where you were already informed that we would need at least all of the information which I have requested above. It will save a lot of time and effort for everybody if you can simply come up with the things that we ask without too much delay
    • My autistic son brought a van from a private seller. ( there was 5 other cars on his drive and another van, plus loads of machanic tools in his hallway,  so he probably is a unofficial dealer).  He gave the van a once over, he checked for any warning lights that might be on, there was none. He checked underneath for any rust etc, it all looked fine. The body was rough, but you'd expect that for the age of the van.  He got his brothers machanic to give it a pre mot check, as the van was old so he expected it to have a few problems. The van is a deathtrap, the seller had blacked out all the warning lights that were on the dash,  and I mean all.  He had also painted some kind of black stuff on the underside, to hide all the damage there.   My son drove it for over 2 hours to get it home. The machanic said he's surprised my son is still alive, and an untrained eye would not of seen what the seller had done.  Iv asked the seller for a refund and for him to have the van back, but he is refusing. Is there anything we can do.

    • 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.

Well as the title suggests l need a sensible present idea for my sons teacher who is leaving the school at easter.

 

The classes parents have said for me to get something from the donations which could be anything up to £50.

 

I am ok with a card one big enough for all the class to sign but a present is my sticking point.

 

Hes about 30-40 and has a wife and 2 children if that helps. Sensible suggestions please. I am willing to get one present or a few smaller presents.

I absolutely adored a receptionist at my sons junior school. My son was still pre school and daughter toddler and social services were involved. I wasnt leaving the house at all and wouldnt answer the door. This lovely woman came to my house introduced herself, the school was just on the next road and proceded to collect him every day, till I could start when okay cross the road.

 

Over the years she took an interest in both my kiddies and I just remember she would regualary be there when I might have fluffed something up or not filled in a form.

 

When ill organised the kiddies to get free places in associated kiddies club/nursery to let me sleep longer and she was just lovely.

 

Any how she retired a couple of years ago and we went up to the bear workshop and chose teddy and put outfit on it and the kiddies said thankyou to the little chip,you can squeeze to get teddy to talk.

 

She cried and said it was the best pressy ever, lovely woman

 

I think you can do one for about (35.00 then) and the outfits are so cute xx

You could buy a garden bench £25 - £35 and have a little plaque made with a personal message from the class. That is if he does have a garden of course!

Give him something that is potentially useful but will also remind him of the class.

 

Get a chess set and get the kids in the class to write their names one each in all the white squares (Maximum 32). If you have more than 32 pupils buy a white marker and start using the black squares.

 

He will keep it for the rest of his life, and might even play chess from time to time.

Benches are not just to remember people who have departed ;)

I got the idea from a retired headmisstress I know who was presented with a bench when she retired and she loves it.

another possibility if he's into gardening is a tree..........a reasonable sized Acer in a pot would be about that price, and it'd sit beautifully on his patio if he's only got a smallish garden.

 

Alternatively, ring his wife and ask her, or speak to the other teachers

All advice offered here is my opinion only based on what I would do in a given situation. If you wish to act on it you do so at your own discretion

How about a small but tasteful ormament. Maybe of a favorite animal (if you know it)...or a hobby, there are plenty of themed ornaments in gift type shops.

A bit naff I guess, but a thought!

I was not being funny wino i am just unaware if the moveing of schools also requires a house move so a bench would be something he needs to pack.

 

I also dont know if he has a garden but l would image with kids he does have.

As l am not sure about the garden l will put this on the list but on the need to find out list. Good idea about speaking tothe teachers as they might be able to help. His wife will be more of a issue as the omly time l saw her was the last day of school and they dont just give out teachers phone numbers due to a little law called the DPA. Anyone heard of it? lol
