    • Thank you both, I will make those changes. I have also downloaded the compensation list to add to the evidence and complete the protection bit off their website.  I am going to court next Thursday to deliver the bundle; I will confirm this on Tuesday. I have been to court a few times to represent the military when a soldier is in court, but I will be going. Thank you for all the additional advice. Once I have the whole bundle, I will email it to the admin email. Ill be honest, this is not about the money for me, I do not mind losing that, so I will not be signing a confidentiality agreement.   You guys are amazing
    • 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 via phone. This part has now failed, as confirmed by the manufacturers who sent out their engineer FOC. This engineer installed a replacement part, our machine came back to life, but sadly they had to remove this part used for testing as "we would be charged for it" otherwise and reinstalled the old faulty board. The retailer are refusing to replace this 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.

    • 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.

Can somebody please help me find a direct email address to customer services. I bought my son a Blackberry at the end of January (£199) and the screen has gone whiet with black lines through it. It can't be used. I took it back to The Carphone Warehouse and the guy told me it's not covered by the warranty and I would have to pay £170 to have it repaired.:mad2:

 

My son was only riding his bike with it in his pocket, but the salesman says that pressure has been applied to the screen and that is why it has gone the way it has. The are no visible pressure points and the glass is not cracked or anything. I am fuming over this and intend to take it up directly with Blackberry to see what they say.

 

 

If all else fails, kick them where it hurts and SOD'EM;)

For the first year of any purchase it is the shop at which you purchased it from that are responsible, that goes for any product, then thereafter it is the manufacturers if you have taken any extended warranty. So you really have 8/9 months guarantee left pending with the store. Do not take no for an answer, and if need be report them to your local trading standards. Also, having the handset in a pocket while riding a bike is not misuse or malicious treatment so the repair would be free of charge.

Life is like an echo, it all returns......The good, the bad, the false, the true......So if you give life the best you have, the best will come back to you.

This is the reply I have just recieved from Carphone Warehouse:-

 

Dr Mr SOD'EM,

 

The store advised you correctly. The warranty on all handsets does not cover cracked LCD screens (I have already told them that the screen is not cracked, the problem is behind that). blah blah blah. If you want to go to Trading Standards, then that is your choice.

 

 

 

Anyone got any good replies to that one?

 

Heeeeeeellllllpp !!!!!

So it looks like I am getting nowhere fast then. That was a waste of £200. I have told my son that if they do not replace it, he is not getting another one.

Not sure if you saw my reply SE? But as long as there's no accidental or malicious damage to the phone, the retailer ARE responsible for either repair or replacement for the first 12 months from date of purchase. Have you tried contacting "Watchdog"? They are very good at helping consumers with problems of this nature, and are always willing to take a case on.

 

This is their telephone number; 020 8535 1000

 

This is the postal address; Watchdog, MC4 C5, Media Centre, Wood Lane, London W12 7TQ

 

I can't post their email as I don't have sufficient privileges to do so, but it's on their website.

 

If I were you SE, I'm afraid I would go to the store where I purchased it, demand a Manager, and would not leave till they agreed to have it repaired, they're breaking the law.

I can't see how one case would get Watchdog interested although I am not discarding the idea. I ned to find the warranty because apparantly it says that any damage to the LCD screen is not covered by it. What I can't understand is, if that is the case then they are saying that those LCD screens will never ever fail or break without misuse or something.. Doesn't make sense to me.

I would expect Watchdog to have multiple complaints about the car phone warehouse and Blackberry :lol: Give them a try, you're not going to lose anything! Besides, if they think you're wary about standing up for your what's rightfully yours as a consumer, they will fob you off time and time again.

A friend of mine had her Blackberry water damaged (now if that's not misuse I don't know what is). She took it to a different CPW, and they done the repair for nothing. Going to give that shop a try tomorrow. If that fails, then all of the above suggestions will be followed. Thanks everyone.

Just thought I would try a different CPW for a laugh and got the same results. Have read Blackberries warranty and it does state that anything that happens to the LCD screen will not be covered by the warranty. I will contact RIM and appeal to their better nature. If the LCD screens are not covered, then what confuses me is ' what if one does falter due to no fault of the user'. Surely every LCD screen they produce can't be 100% perfect?????

I just emailed [email protected] (which is what is on their website), and the message came straight back as not sent.

They want me to go through all the stupid options first. Tried ringing them to ask for an email address, and it is just all automated

and gives you no chance whatsoever to speak to anyone that can help me. They must have a complaints department FFS:-x.

Spoke to some foreign person in the end. Took about half an hour to understand the complaints email address (it still may not be right, but it hasn't come back as not sent yet). For anyone needing it in the future it is:-

 

[email protected]

You have to be so frustrated SE! The only email I can find is the one you posted up also :???: The only other course of action I can suggest for you is either, go back to the store and demand a repair, but cover yourself ensuring they give you a receipt that indicates there is no physical damage to the phone. Or the C.A.B, I would be furious if I were you :mad2:
