    • If you have legal cover and insurance, you can try going ahead with your Insurer. They may be able to refer you to their "Legal Partner" but do your research.  If you know where 3 of them live, you can attempt to take them to court, but in todays climate, going legal will not get you the result of £15k that you are after.    Others may have their own input - But in reality you are asking for £5k from each of them - Might find it hard to recover that in a timely manner.  Like I said earlier - Your option maybe to take the hit now and factor it in to future tenancies. 
    • I have insurance that covers legal matters for this property, and I can confirm it with the insurance company. I also know where the tenants currently live, as all three have moved to the same place. There's been a lot of mold growing in the property over the past few months. All the builders who came to look at it think the mold grew because the windows were kept closed, lack of heating. In the past few months, they haven't used much gas or electricity, as shown by the smart meter I checked. Recent trace and access report says there's no water leak in the property. I have lots of photos from when I moved in until now. But in court, more people usually want to sue the landlord, not the other way around.
    • simply write to them, offering one months fee, give them 14 days to accept. if they sont accept, ignore everyone. Harlands too! and the extra £20 penalty is not allowed either. thread title updated. dx  
    • So technically you could push it via the courts with the clause in the AST (I remember seeing something about this recently)  However if one has left the country - It might make it hard to recover it all from the others.    How would you look to bring action against all parties involved? Do you know where all of them currently are?  You can service to last known address but as you know they have moved on - It could be held against you by a judge if it goes all the way.    I think you need to consult a solicitor on this one - Its a complex claim against multiple people rather than a simple Creditor vs Debtor claim we see here. 
    • Initially, the property was let to four foreign students, but they are no longer on student visas. During midterm, two of them moved out, and two new friends of theirs moved in, one of whom is the lead tenant's British girlfriend. The lead tenant got married to a her and became a dependent who is now one of the tenants in the AST agreement. The third tenant found a work permit visa, and the fourth left the country a few months ago. Recent contract only three.  Please see the attached AST, which seems that I may be able to claim any costs exceeding the deposit. All ASTs were signed electronically using the MUDHUT template.

    • 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.

Today i have been to bank to pay my mortgage to find Vodafone have took over £700 from my account (my normal bil is £35-£45).

They tell me i have made 2 phone calls on the same day at the same time to an internet radio show for 17 hours..each one has cost me over £300. They are saying i have sat from 4.00 p.m till 9.00 a.m listening twice to god knows what. Obviously i did not make this call. Vodafone say i did and there is nothing they can do.

 

What a joke i have a mortgage and 3 kids to feed.

 

Does anyone have any advice?

Here is the Vodafone Webteam's introduction and instructions of how to get them on the case for you.

Hi
CAG
link31.gif
members,

 

We thought it would be nice to introduce ourselves and to assure you all that our presence on
CAG
link31.gif
is with the very best of intentions.

Vodafone UK has recently introduced a dedicated Web Relations Team which is keen to seek out customers who’re having difficulties with their accounts and feel that they have no other place to turn to than CAG and other consumer forums and blogs.

Naturally, it’s not possible for us to help directly with account specific queries on CAG and as such we would encourage those members who feel we can help them to contact us privately and securely using the ‘Contact us’ form on the Vodafone website with your account details.

https://help.vodafone.co.uk/system/s...PARTITION_ID=1

 

When emailing us we would also ask that you either provide us with a link to your post or thread – if you’ve posted in another member’s thread please also provide your CAG username so that we can check what your query is – and state the code WRT135 within the body of your email to make sure it comes through to us.As soon as we’ve received your email we’ll endeavour to get back to you as quickly as possible.

 

Many thanks

 

Web Relations Team

Vodafone UK
.

CAG members contacting us, add the code WRT135 in the subject line in order ensure that email gets routed into our queue.

 

Follow that advice, and update your thread with the automatic reference number you receive and I'm sure they'll get back to you. Can you also clarify a little, are they saying this is an internet radio station that you played without having a data package on your phone tarrif, or did you phone an internet radio station?

If in doubt, contact a qualified insured legal professional (or my wife... she knows EVERYTHING)

 

Or send a cheque or postal order payable to Reclaim the Right Ltd.

923 Finchley Road London NW11 7PE

Need some details, if an 'internet' charge, how do you know it was a radio show? What this a standard telephone call, or a data connection? It is quite possible for phones to connect and transfer data that is charged without the user knowing (or listening). Hopefully they'll investigate further, however, their billing system is pretty accurate and unlikely to have generated a spurious error.

There are programs on the internet that do that, so it's probably possible to hi-jack a phone. Anything is possible.

 

Not since the ending of dial-up internet as the primary method of going online. This meant a rogue auto-dialler would connect you, BUT via a a premium rated number. If the OP diallled a special services number, then any out-of-bundle codes would result in a high charged being billed. This uses circuit switched billing, and as the user would have to dial the number and press 'Send' once done any alternative number would be a waste of time as the billing rate had already been established.

Reply received - lets see what they come up with1

Good afternoon

Thanks for your email with your details.

I've had a look at your account and can see the two calls that have incurred the heavy charges.

I've called this number and it is possible for it to be called twice - the first call is placed on hold by your handset whilst the second call is made.

That said, 17 hours does seem like a long time for a call duration so I've passed this to our billing team to investigate - once they look into this they'll get back to you with any info with regards to the charges.

Kind regards

Paul

Not surprised with vodafone at all

 

Hi NJz,

 

I'm sorry to hear that you're not impressed by the service we provide.

 

Is there anything you're having difficulties with at all? If so, you're welcome to send me a PM with your details and I'll do what I can to assist.
