      Extra headrest: Do I have to declare this safety mod?

      By unclebulgaria67 · Posted

      Agree it is not a modification that needs to be disclosed to Insurers as changing the seats has not changed the risk.

      Ryanair are delaying paying out the compensation for a delayed flight

      By Kyosanto · Posted

      There's a thread somewhere about someone sending the baillifs against Wizzair that is quite hilarious. I would love to see someone do the same to Ryanair. Question is, should you be the one to take that role. You are entitled to the £220, if your flight was from the UK. If it was TO the UK I suppose it is more of a grey area... though the airlines I know have been using £220 as standard. Not that surprising for Ryanair, the worst cheapskates in the universe, to go for the lower amount, and if you forward this to the CEO he will probably have a jolly good laugh and give his accountants a verbal bonus. After all he's the one who said and I paraphrase "F*** our customers, they'll fly with us again anyway". While we would all love to see Ryanair get wooped in court again, I have to join my fellow posters in thinking it's not worth the hassle for (hypothetically) £7 and not sure it will expedite the payment either. It's already an achievement that you got them to accept to pay.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Starting new thread for my girlfriends case v. Crap One

 

After several exchanges of correspondence, she issued a LBA for £560 charges plus £1485 contractual interest - were offered £317 take or leave it, so court papers have been served. Needless to say they are adamant that all the charges before 2005 are now statute barred as they always seem to do.

 

Interest calculations were done using the contractual APR of 22.9% and the calculator here :

 

http://www.egalegal.com/compoundWindow.html

 

Balance o/s on card is just under £1000, will update thread as and when things happen.

Have just received from Cap One a copy of their defence, and a slightly revised offer of £419.76 & £85 court fee. In the interests of keeping CAG users up to speed on Cap One, I am showing below all the docs, minus personal details.

http://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz90/Still_surviving/Cap%20One/CapOneDefence4.jpg

 

 

Once you cut through all the bumf, it seems their defence boils down to the same usual points weve seen mentioned before:

 

1. The charges are in our terms and conditions so must be legal.

2. They are based on what it costs us (oh really....)

3. Anything over six years old, you can whistle for.

4. We have no comprehension of restitutionary interest, but you can have some purchase interest back.

 

Am going to read and digest this some more over the weekend, but would welcome other opinions etc

Yes - will definitely push them all the way into court if necessary, as Im sure of the arguments. However, Im also minded to review any further offers from them if it results in a prompt settlement thats not too far off the court claim figure.

 

Around 2/3 of the claim rests on the older charges plus interest. They will not be getting away with any statute barred argument.

Yes review right up to the day before as they will probably court you until then & then only give you what you ask for. so keep an eye out on their tactics!! I would suggest they had your monies so they can repay with interest.

will watch this one with interest. This lot charged me fees that - with interest - amount to 2.5 times what is owed. The account has since been flogged to Capquest who have become threatening, so the reply was "ok take me to court and i will counterclaim for the 2.5 times that you are claiming for".

Hi mate - not seen you since my M&S affairs went quiet :)

 

Funnily enough it was Capquest getting verbally obnoxious on the phone to my g/f that tipped her over the edge into issuing proceedings. Horrible pieces of work seem to get employment there.

Received a copy of the defence from Cap1 via the courts today, together with the AQ which needs to be in by the 26th April - so will look for some help before then :)

 

Was reviewing the papers we received last week, and was struck by this paragraph from their letter

 

"If however you decide to pursue the claim further, please provide us with details about elements you consider to be outstanding and a full explanation as to why you believe that you are entitled to the remedy sought."

 

On the face of it, we are happy to tell them yet again, that they have not repaid charges over six years old, or paid full restitutionary interest, but should we be giving full details of the case law we will be relying on at this stage? I realise it will probably make no difference, but I was wondering if it would amount to showing our hand too early.

 

Its very crafty the way they repay a small amount of money back to the card at the last minute, then immediately include that in their defence as if to say, look at us we are being so reasonable....

 

Would welcome thoughts.

Isnt all that going to appear in your defence anyway? Wont they have seen it all before? But as you say, never give a sucker an even break. I suspect this is a game of bluff - they want to see how much less you will settle for, and how far you will push it. Good results from their pov are where people dont push it as far as court, and if they do settle for less before the hearing. If they only have to pay out the full amount as a result of it going into court then over all (ie taking all the claims they would have to face) its a win.

And yes it is crafty - but they are - very

Hi SS,

 

"If however you decide to pursue the claim further, please provide us with details about elements you consider to be outstanding and a full explanation as to why you believe that you are entitled to the remedy sought."
I think it's a bit late for that. You've commenced proceedings already, so they'll see all they need as your case progresses.

 

I rather think this is a blanket response for cases which haven't progressed to court. It needs no response at all.

£85 issue fee plus £40 AQ Fee = £125. However these charges will have to be added to any settlement figure thats offered in the end.

 

Balance on the card was around £1000 to start with, but with the refund theyve made without permission, its less than half that now. The greater part of the claim relates to charges over six years old, so thats a point we will not be letting go of.

Hello There

 

Any news? Is it all wrapped up?

The matrix is intrinsically flawed. Within it is the program for it's own destruction. If you are reading this, you are in the matrix and it's days are numbered...so watch out! :eek:

The wheels of justice seem to be grinding excruciatingly slowly (probably not helped by all the bank holidays)

 

Have just been informed by the Regional Business Centre, that Cap One did submit an AQ on time (yeah right - i bet they were allowed to be late), and the case has now been passed back to my local court for a judge to issue directions.

 

Considering the AQ deadline was 26.04.11 and Ive only just heard, I despair as to how long this is going to take to resolve fully if we head to court.
