    • Actually there wasn't a massive amount of work to do on the WS.  The "meat" was there because of the great work you'd already done. Here is a version which I think is nigh-on finished. However, with Easter there are a few days for the other regulars to suggest tweaks. Defendant WS.pdf
    • Hi all, We bought a part to fix our washing machine approx 13 months ago direct from the manufacturer of the washing machine via phone. This part then failed 13 months later, as confirmed by their own engineer, who was sent by the manufacturer (who is also the retailer for the part) FoC. The engineer actually installed a replacement part, the machine came back to life, but they then removed the part used for testing (and ours reinstalled) as "we would be charged for it". The retailer are refusing to replace the part, stating that they only warranty parts for 90 days. When I stated that I believed the Consumer Rights Act gives me longer than that, they insinuated that it did not, and this was repeated by many representatives. AIUI for goods bought more than 6 months ago, I need to get an engineers report to confirm the part has failed? Or that it has failed due to manufacturing issues? Or would the companies own engineers report suffice? Also, does anyone have any other decent contact details for Hotpoint (or the Whirlpool group)? Thanks, GH
    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.  
    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.

    • 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.

Tricky to decide as there is no point provoking action/stress but fore-warned is fore-armed, I stuck with Lowells popping up with 2 letters for an old HBOS/AA card debt. Do I go straight for CCA/SAR or keep quiet knowing they will either go away, sell the debt on or it will become SB'd.

 

You also have the 31.14/16 option as they are threatening court action.

 

Time for a poll I think!

Ignore Lowlifes and their many guises, red hamptons blah blah blah.

File it away with the rest of the garbage they sent you, the only time you need be concerned is when they issue a SD, if at all!

Lizzy. Start your own thread and you will get help to reclaim the money that your father paid. Hampton's Legal, Red Debt Collection Services and Lowell are one and the same company. They have fraudulently received this money without providing any proof you owe this debt. They put the frighteners on you to make you pay. Anyone can claim you owe them money but they should provide proof. This is how DCA's work. Never ever talk to them on the phone. Complain in writing demanding your money back or you are taking them to court. Please please stay on CAG and I promise you will get all the help you need.

Hamptons, Red = Lowell. Just another desk in the same broom cupboard, report them to the OFT&TS via http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/contact for attempting to exploit a debtors lack of knowledge by using different names to chase an alleged debt.

Do nothing, as it is just another empty threat. If they have the necessary proof of the debt to proceed to court why are they messing around? Answer - They either haven't got the proof or what they have got would not be adequate to allow them to proceed.

We could do with some help from you.

Yep, ignore the fools, they are clearly getting desperate by trying to confuse and intimidate you by using their other trading names, what you must remember is that, these letters are sent by a computer system, and until it has any human input, it will continue to send out irrelevant petty threats until someone tell the computer to stop, and as anyone who has had the misfortune of dealing with Lowlifes knows, they don't employ any adults with the knowledge of how to make the computer stop.

Hi cat

Below is from a letter I sent to Lowell a good while back I hope it sheds a little light on how they work

Strangely enough they never replied :Cry:

 

I also think that the way you use the Red Debt Collection Services and Hamptons Legal “Trading Styles” is misleading bordering on deceptive as you give the impression that more than one company is involved

Plus it seems neither of them are listed at the addresses given according to a Post Office search:

Red Debt Collection Services PO Box 203 Leeds LS11 1BG is according to the Post Office Lowell Financial Ltd

Hamptons Legal PO Box 173 Leeds LS11 9WR is according to the Post Office Lowell Group

 

[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I asked them to wait whilst I got my Bank card :violin:
