    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards
    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do mediation and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out     .
    • Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.
    • LOL. after sending Perch capital a CCA request with a stapled £1 PO attached (x2) Their lapdog Legal team TM Legal have sent me two letters today saying "due to a recent payment on the account, your account is open to legal/enforcement action" so i guess they have tried to apply that payment to the account to run the statue bar along. dirty tactics lol.

    • 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.

Just noticed that the MSE thread has been deleted- whats that about? are they in the habit of deleting of 10 page threads just because they were critical of someone?

 

If so I am not sure that I will bother with their forum anymore. Why waste your time researching companies house records if a few days alter it wil be deleted without any explanation?

 

Sorry- end of rant....

I had noticed that there was some moderation between the posts,which were routinely done as they must have thought appropriate.

We cant comment on that since it is a matter for their team,but MSE is there for the benefit of its members just like CAG,so its fair to assume that they had some good reasons,and should not be adversely judged.

It is possible that the thread has been taken down for review,its something that we have to do now and again,as it can be impossible to do sometimes when real time activity by members see more posting during the process.

Thanks for the (diplomatic) response. I was concerned that they may have caved in to legal threats from NPA.

 

As a matter of courtesy, it woul be nice to let the op, at a minimum, know.

 

Just out of interest why are sites such as your not hosted in the USA where they would be covered by the First?

 

BTW thanks for maintaining your site and allowing us (the public) to vent our spleen and warn others when things are amiss.

 

Cheers

Just for the record NPA DO NOT seem to be related to Never Paint Again Ltd.

 

On closer inspection Never Paint Again Ltd (Director=mike elias of essex) is a dormant company related to wallshield Ltd (previously known as wallshield 2000 and 3000 (Director=mike elias of essex)

 

This is consistant with Guy's claims.

 

On their site (wallshleild.com) they refer to themselves as the wallshield group - it diffcult to say under which of the wallshield variants thay are operating- if wallshield ltd then they are currently in liquidation- not mentioned on the site though.

 

I put 2 and 2 together and came up with pi... my apologies

 

The date of company incorporation and guys site registration 3 months later is coincidence.

Yes it is odd that the the www.neverpaintagain.co.uk was set up 3 months after the registering up of Never Paint Again Ltd and that Guy then went on to set up Never Paint Again (UK) Ltd 11 monthe after the other firm was set up.

 

But I can find no link between the two firms.

 

Guys site does say that he has registered Never Paint Again as a trade mark, I can find no proof of this and would be suprised if he had been llowed to as a firm with the name already existed.

Lol diplomacy can go a long way,but to be honest I have no idea why the thread was pulled,but the op should be given an explanation,I bet Martin's legal team are well able to deal with any threats and have prob had more than their share over the years as has the CAG.

The US hosting,I cant comment on but I would think that there has never been a need to come down to the same levels as many we campaign about,since we have done things by the book without fear.

Our thread remains as you have seen.

Some of the comments and posts that have been made,are only here out of a concern from the original post.

At the end of the day,we are interested to see our members complaints sorted,and the ongoing posts have been as a consequence of the complaint remaining unresolved irrespective of any date to fix.

If it had been my business being discussed acrosss 2 popular consumer forums,I would have pulled out all the stops to have had the job sorted not just given dates.

But its not my reputation at stake.

Mr.Bell has not been denied response,and neither to have some people come here with testimonials.

Again the ball is in Mr.B's court.

Get the job sorted and let our op report its done and dusted.....only then can we say end of .

Hello, just thought I'd check in to say that I haven't abandoned this thread.

 

Good news is that All Seasons did send me the insurance backed guarantee paperwork, I have sent off my documents to IWA and I'm just waiting for them to send confirmation back. Also, there was a mix up with the first date set for them to fix the balcony problem, but we have sorted out a new date for next week, so I am looking forward to that.

 

Bad news is that my thread on MSE never got resurrected, and their admin / mods never replied to my message asking why they had taken it down.

 

Will keep you posted of any more developments, thanks for your support.

Hi lisa et al

 

Very weird coincidence- your mail turned up at the same time as two from the MSE investigation team, who are looking at another thread about NPA!!!!

 

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?p=41626674#post41626674

 

Quite funny, but Bell is suggesting that an unhappy lifecote customer should have contacted him to get things sorted, whereas his stance now is one of "YOU ARE NOT A CUSTOMER OF NPA"

 

I am only speculating but me thinks that before long this will be the only dissenting thread left...

 

Yah-boo sucks to MSE (in this case) and hurrah to CAG :-)

As mentioned already-they must have their reasons.

Lets not be too judgemental in the absence of knowing what those may be.

To be fair to the mods at MSE, I did ask why the threads were being deleted (in an unrelated thread). They did respond but were unable to go into detail. I have since discovered why certain posts have been deleted but I cannot see why all ten pages of a thread need to be deleted because of posts by one particular member.

 

Regardless, the outcome is the same- there are no negative posts left...

 

Personally I would have prefered to see the "offending" posts removed and the threads locked.

hi, i saw this on google and i thought i would take a look. Has the Op's concerns been met? She doesnt seem to have come back and replied? I have seen links posted by anonymous people back to this thread too which is how i found it. Why? It would almost appear a conspiracy against this "Guy" from never paint again? i tried to search for reviews from genuine customers but all i can find is stuff that, being honest, sounds so personal against him it cant be true?

#we are certainly very happy customers of theirs (never paint again) , and i know others are too so what is this all about?

 

If i can add something here to youre discussion as it all seems very personal, including what the wethertex people have on their site, i mean can they (weathertex) really get away with publishing stuff like that on their site about a competitor? i am shocked reading it. not the content or whatever but the fact they did that, how awful and thats does not make me as a consumer want to deal with someone like wethertex. Are they a fairly new company?we had a massive quote from one of their salesmen years ago and werent impressed one bit.

 

My own opinion, after meeting this man "Guy" years ago, and having our dads house in bristol spray coated, my neighbour in mannamead, Plymouth had him around too, and my boss at work (debbie) also had him round for a price too! So i think i can safely say that this person is (sort of) known to me, or at least we knew him around 4 years ago, and i think that from what these people have said, they must have it wrong. He was very nice, charming of course, but very helpful.

 

iwhen we went on this npa website (i am looking at it now in another window,,,, it looks a bit different from before, maybe is it a different colour?) anyways when we needed my dad's house done, we called 3 companys, never paint again, wethertex and a firm of painters from exeter, lord knows what they were called....

When we went on the never paint again website we were certainly not conned !!!!!!so i dont know what these people r talking about but we KNEW that the website wasnt the people who did the work!! SO WHAT!!!!!!

 

They did a brilliant job and i have got to say this, they were a hell of a lot cheaper than wethertex in fact we paid 6 grand for dads place, and it was rough too, and wethertex wanted 15 thousand pounds!!!!!!! who in gods name has money like that? I will say in this mans defense, i think you are all awful making him out to be bad, he isnt, or at least as far as we know he isnt bad, and the people did a great job too and when we dealt with him he could not have been more helpful and nice. Shame on all of you.

Strange that your first post compliments "Guy" and his work ethics. If you were happy with his ethics why would you be looking on the Internet for complaints? It seems that you are the only person happy with his devious ways. Are you perhaps related to him, a good friend or just a troll?

:?: ........er....... ok i'm still here. I did ask why you said that???! im sorry if i butted in to your conversation, (whoops) please accept my apologies, and no he isnt a relative!:-D

 

please read my post. i think it obvious a few people have jumped on the bandwagon here, i just suggest to leave the fella alone! we had good service when dealing with him, that is why i posted here.sorry! i just wanted to know if the person who started this has had whatever was wrong, fixed, that is all!

You'll forgive our scepticism, Joanne, but we've found that things are sometimes not as they seem when Guy Bell and/or NPA are involved.

 

For example:

 

Guy tells us that NPA doesn't do wall coatings, it just advertises for someone else - but the website talks about its guaranteed wall coatings

 

The law says that any business that processes data must be registered with ICO - but Guy tells us that he's exempt because some girl at ICO apparently told him he was.

 

Now we are being asked to believe that someone has registered on CAG just to tell us that everything must be alright because she met Guy once and he was 'nice and charming'.

 

Oh well. I fear my bullsh1t detector is still pinging away.....

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

i am sorry i commented and i dont know what you are implying but whatever it is i am not interested and i certainly did not expect that response. I apologise again for butting into your conversation and based on your response i dont really think at all that i will bother again.I am just saying i thought he was a nice chap. I did want to know wether the lady had got the problem sorted, dont worry about it.
