    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

The day/time stamp is directly above the username

Not it isn't. Not for me anyway. As I said above it's either a post count/reputation thing or platform (Windows XP Professional/IE6). I suspect the former.

Also as cymruambyth noted, I have lots of bookmarks (IE Favorites) to individual posts that contain useful information I may want to refer to at some future point. These do not now work, here is one example: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/show-post/post-2989603.html.

 

Just checking this came out right. I've just posted a couple of posts with quotes and although it says who the quote is from, it doesn't box them to distinguish it from my notes.

 

has it here...?

 

Yes it has. Very odd:confused:

Edit: Another nag! Tried to post this and I got the "forum requires 30 seconds between posts..." but I hadn't posted anything, just tickled ForestChav!!! :-(

 

Re-edit: Ooops, summat went wrong there, got me a duplicate, that would have been what got me the 30 seconds warning then, but I hadn't posted twice!!! *my head, my HEAD!* :-(

Well, something that is a little bit of a bug maybe :p Someone has repped me on this thread (in the Bear Garden) and given me my 11th blob :D

 

Accessing subbed threads is easy as saintly_1 said, however accessing threads you have started I can't find at the moment, although you used to be able to do it through advanced search and through your profile.

 

Thanks locutus and everyone else who has replied to my query!

 

However, I still cannot find an easy way to bring up a list of all threads started by me - which was so straightforward before and now seems virtually impossible..............

 

Just like the previously referenced changes to ebay (which, whilst obviously being an improvement on the very first format, are a backward step I believe to how things were 2 or 3 years ago), I cannot see how this is an improvement personally.

 

I'm sure (like ebay) I'll get used to it in time, but for now maybe I'll take a sabbatical and wait for the dust to settle before returning.

On the "plus" side, when you hover over a thread title, it now gives you the contents of the post without having to open the thread itself, which is great when all the title says "help" or something as equally non-informative.

Blimey.... I've added stuff to "favourites" before.... but never noticed the "bookmark" button until now... (thick face.... lol!!)

I think IE still calls them favorites [sic] but they really aren't that - a lot of the sites I have in my bookmarks (I use firefox 4) I don't particularly like but are useful to have a record of. :)

And a more prominent "Mark Forums Read" button. In previous versions of vBulletin this was always under Quick Links wherever you were! They've evidently tried to make the board feel more like parts of IPB and phpBB and lost some of the usability, IMO - IF this hasn't been skinned by some weirdo :p

Damnit, the bookmark doesn't refresh the page, still stuck with last page at 15.40 even when manually refreshing, can someone help? Using Chrome.

Does for me - try loading the bookmark again? It just passes getnew which - obviously - returns the posts since your session last timed out or you marked the boards read.
