    • if i remember rightly, long ago in one of the first drafts of the old proposed gov't overhauls, there was a listing of recommended 'charges' that inc wrong reg = £20. some PPC's implemented such changes in advance. then later as it looked increasing likely the new code was never going to be implemented after it's 1st review and another set of codes was to be debated they all quietly revert back .......... dx
    • Potentially it may not even get sold on? Just the default left for 6 years then gone? but if it is sold on ill get a letter from the DCA which is the notice of assignment? Sorry what is the different between a default notice and a default cal marker? yes, i may try and work arrangements out with the OCs after the breathing space but I'll see my circumstances then thank you again for all your help and patience, I really appreciate it and apologies If i am too fast or repeating myself.
    • receiving a default NOTICE (forget simple default cal markers) does not mean it will get sold on... OC's very very rarely do court themselves.  if it does you would receive a Notice of Assignment from the debt buyer/DCA.  as for reduced payment if it remains with the OC and they issue a DN, no harm in trying but lets get all your ducks inline first. dx  
    • okay thanks do you know how long it will take for it to get to the DCA or could the OC try and issue a CCJ? even though it's unlikely also for example would the OC agree to a reduction and a small payment over a super lengthy period of time if agreed? Rather than go through chasing apologies again for all the questions, just trying to understand all the possible scenarios.  
    • Currently - "the maximum daily price at 100p / kWh for electricity and 30p / kWh for gas – keep in mind that's a lot higher than the Ofgem Energy Price Cap, so if you can't afford prices to increase further, you're probably better off sticking with a protected tariff such as Flexible Octopus." Octopus Tracker is a product of our labs, available now to customers through our beta programme. Octopus Tracker is a beta product. Some things may not work the first time, and installations and processes may take longer than we'd like. Third party tech like In-home Displays won't always work, and on occasion data issues with smart meters can take significant time to fix or prevent things from working at all.   Copied straight from octopus   Feel free to shove it somewhere else

    • 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.

hi, what support package do you have? usually its 3 repairs + 1 (request) and this is usually granted, 3 mobos is crap in 1 year but if it fails again then it might be worth demanding for replacment. as its cost affective for the copmany to keep repairing and causing you hasle for sending it away etc.

Coverplan will do as it says in the policy "unlimited repairs" unless its beyond economical repair.

 

If its had 3 repairs in the space of such a short time, book it for repair, then wait a few days then call them back up and ask for a write off. Thats the way its usually done, if you book it for a write off it simply be fixed and sent back.

 

So book it again, then call in a few days once its at the work shop and put your write off request in.

Good job labrat you do what I do, if I get through to someone that is obviously unhelpful I just hang up and redial, every company has useless staff and the trick is not to waste your time on them. I even offer to send them a copy of the recording of the call.

 

With the Watchdog story I thought people coming round to peoples houses doing work and turning round saying they are not qualified is a bit daft. However I am surprised they ran the story about the lady that lost pictures of her grand kids because the computer went faulty. How is the data on your computer the responsibility of a retailer :!:

ok now this is really doing my head in

 

laptop collected 20th of september - start of 6 weeks rule

returned 6th october

sent back again the 7th october

receaved back in store 12th october they tried to contact us but couldnt

i rang the store 14th october to get an update and was told is in store so collected

19th october went faulty again so booked in via store

still on going

 

rang up for a write off today was told no the reason being that they say theres a gap of more than 7 days

 

they have listed the repairs as

 

20th sep - 6th october

7th october - 11th october

21st october - ongoing

 

the problem is that they have got the dates down wrong it should be

 

20th sep - 6th oct

7th oct - 12/14 oct (date in store/date picked up)

19th october (rebooked date) - ongoing

 

the problem im having and to put it politely is the sheer stuborn headness and inpoliteness of the call center

 

dispite trying to explain that the previous person had got the dates wrong when they said no the call center person i spoke to ignored me, talked over me, stated that it wasnt there job to check dates as the previous person had already done this dispite having this explained to them by both me and the store

 

im on the verge of calling in trading standards as theyve told me i must now wait another 6 weeks from the 21st october at which point the laptop will have been away for around 13 weeks in total.

 

im sure this is incorrect somewhere and i must admit i got quite shirty with the lass (without swearing) and pointed out that no-where in the terms and conditions i signed was this part about no gaps of a week or more and that it didnt apply as i didnt have a gap of over a week, at this point she stated that this was my problem not theres and i hung up

how does this sound

 

 

Dear sir or madam

 

i wish to complain about your lack of service over my account and the poor service offered by your call center representives

 

on the 20th of september my laptop (advent k6000) was collected by your repair services, the repair seemed to go well until we receaved the laptop back on the 6th of october at this point we realised that the fan wasnt working and that the unit rapidly over heated causing it to turn off

at this point we arranged a pickup via the store on the 7th of october this was repaired and returned to the store on the 12th of october however when the store tried to contact us they could not get hold of us and therefore the laptop wasnt collected from store untill around the 14th when i rang the store to get an update on the repair

we took the laptop home and used it as normal until it again failed on the 19th of october at this point we took it into store again and they booked it for collection

being aware of the 6 week limit for repairs we rang up on the 31st of october as it was still in repair and requested a write off this was refused as there had been a gap of more than a week in the repairs, we were unhappy with this but left off the call at this point to check on dates

looking down these dates we noticed that the staff had not used the correct dates in their working out on ringing up to correct these i spoke to what may have been the most un-helpful person in your services who stated that it wasnt her job to re-check the dates as the previous person had already done it, while trying to explain that the previous person had used incorrect dates i was talked over, interupted and generally informed that this was not her issue.

at this point i was informed that i would have to wait at least a further 6 weeks from the 21st of october, at this point my laptop will have been with yourselves for a total of around 13 weeks

 

What we require is our coverplan honouring and the terms and agreements that we signed sticking to, we have re-read these and no where in these does it state this rule over gaps

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.

 

Have you tried getting someone to call the medics in store and getting them to sort it. They can push issues through, when speaking to customer service, they're normally just emailing someone else, where the medics will deal with it hands on.

 

May resolve this issue quicker. By time letters are wrote, i think you'll have vouchers or the laptop back.
