    • I dont want to, i just wanted to relate with this person. The council just wants to rip off people
    • I paid for the furniture with a visa debit card so not sure if this is the same consumer rights as a credit card? The furniture is without a doubt unfit for purpose because of the reclining mechanism not working correctly. I suspect that I may be offered either a repair, a replacement or a credit note (that's if they accept that there are problems with the furniture). Do I have to accept a credit note or can I insist that I want a full refund?
    • Hi @Dislao As advice for everyone is different and tailored to your situation, please make your own thread and describe your issue.
    • Ok so they have given you the contract of you and packlink. your enforcing the rights of the contract between evri and packlink.... so I don't really think this contract makes a smudge of difference. unless ive missed something @BankFodder   Also on the bit that says "Evri also cite Clause 23 of the pre-exiting commercial agreement between the Defendant and Packlink,"   such agreement hasnt been provided so can't be considered. judges arent goign to consider a term that the defendant has just said exists. thats not how it works.    
    • I think Stockford Anderson are the land owners there. You could ring their London number 020 3443 8500 to confirm. if so the CEO paul Anderson and his son Aaron are about to climb Mount Everest to raise money for Dementia UK. There have been a number of fatalities on the mountain recently though the CEO of Iceland did complete the UK Dementia challenge last week. However the winds over Everest are going to increase in the next few days so anyone not on the way up at the moment are likely to be prevented from climbing.

    • 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 got a call from jobcentreplus; They have decided to "change their decision" and re-instate my IB. :smile:

 

A nice respite before they crucify me with ESA next year.

 

What a waste of time to put me through 8 months of hardship and anxiety waiting for the appeal only to realise they were wrong.

 

Thanks to everyone on this website who supported and advised me, you gave me the chance to fight and win. I might not have fought it otherwise.

 

I keep thinking it's a prank call to trick me and I can't wait to get it in writing.

Benefits rules are complex, and although I do try to inform and support people, I may get it wrong because the rules apply to individual claimants and their particular circumstances.

I will still carry on with this website because I still feel crushed by the weight of the future thanks to the new benefit plans that the government have put in place. (Plus any more evil plots they may yet devise).

 

I was getting better before they plunged me into poverty and promised me a bitter struggle for survival over the next 10 years.

 

Sounds melodramatic? Some of you will know I'm not exaggerating.

Well done. :)

 

Do they pay back benefit you missed out on? They have reversed their decision after all

 

I too am on IB and have a visit later this week. (scared as hell). I am not looking forward to the change over to ESA.

Yes I should get all my backpay but I want to see it in writing (and in my bank account).

The woman who rang me said that they had only now just got sight of the letter from my Doctor backing up everything I said in my appeal.

 

It's like she was making up some excuse as to why they didn't reverse the decision before. I sent the doctor's letter together with my evidence about 6 months ago, it wasn't sent separately if you see what I mean.

I think it's legit. I have seen people on this forum saying that their decisions were changed a week or two before the appeal but they weren't told about it till they got there.

I think what really swung it for my case was that I gave my GP the list of descriptors that I was fighting for and she specifically wrote about those issues.

Well I got a computer generated letter today saying that my benefit will continue without having to get medical certificates so it's not a nasty prank.

 

They will take their time to sort out my money but I've waited 8 months already. At least they can't appeal against the tribunal's decision because it was their own decision.

Basking yes. But no money yet and all too aware of an iffy future; I won't qualify for ESA as things stand.

 

And the penalties for not working will be harsh so I will try and work but it will be so hard.

 

The win does give me the respite I need to pay my bills and prepare for the future.

 

If I had lost, I would be in trouble right now. Phew! Scary stuff!

 

Did you see that "Trillion Dollar Horror Story", it made me realise how stupid our country is.

 

And that we have no parties worth voting for.
