    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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 I have just signed up with Vodaphone for a new Iphone. I changed from O2, got the pac code and the new phone started working on Monday this week.

 

Since then if I send a texts from it some go from my current number whilst others are routed from the number that was on the phone when it arrived. Whilst this doesn't seem like a big problem I have already lost work from it. I sent a text to a client giving a quote, he replied but because the answer was sent to the wrong number I never received it. He got no response so went elsewhere.

 

I have tried a number of my friends and there does not seem to be any pattern, sometimes they get a text from me and it is recognised as my proper number, other times it comes in from - Unknown contact. All phone calls are routed correctly.

 

Vodaphone have asked me to switch the phone off remove the sim and wait for 24 hours. I did and the problem remains so they told me to do the same again but wait 48 hours, again no change and the problem still exists. I have just spent an hour on the phone to them and been cut off three times. Each time they say please hold while we look into this and then call is terminated. It appears they don't know what to do and are hoping the problem will just go away in due course . sadly I can't wait for that option to ride out.

 

Can I reject the phone and get out of the contract and start gain with someone else? It's not over the 7 working days limit for return yet. Thanks for any advice

Something that did cause me concern was this post - I know it is from a while ago but is this really still the case?

 

Unfortunately, this ONLY applies to the first handset you had (as supplied). You lose all rights to reject the goods when you accept a replacement. Do also remember that this is a right under the Sale of Goods Act, but irrespective of the outcome of this, you also have a contract with the network which is not dependent on whether the phone works or not - as the contract covers only the use and operation of the SIM card.

 

Once you have accepted a replacement, then all the network need do is supply a serviceable replacement, and after that only offer to repair or replace at their option.

I don't want to accept the offer of a replacement and end up with the same problem only less rights to reject if it cannot be resolved.Thanks again

The fault you describe sounds more like a network fault, where the number hasn't "ported" over correctly. It would require checking further on Vodafone's systems rather than a simple reset on the phone after 24 hours! Have you re-synched the iPhone with iTunes since? Have you tried a new sim card? As mentioned above, Lee at Vodafone is pretty good at getting things sorted so he may have more tricks up his sleeve!

Still on the lookout for buried treasure!

 

Any advice I give here is based on my own experiences throughout my life, career and training and should not be taken as accurate. If in doubt, speak to someone more qualified - a Solicitor, Citizens Advice to name but two possible avenues!

Thanks Rebel11 and DreadpirateSteve, I have re-synced the phone and will try a different sim in it. Strangely the only pattern I have now managed to get id that those with another 4s or those who have updated their I-Tunes software seem to be getting this new number whilst those on other phones or with the old software are getting my old and correct number. This is based on a sample of 8 three of whom are on new phone/software and the other 5 are using Android or old Iphones so may not really indicate anything

Amazing, this is now resolved and with no thanks to Vodafone unfortunately.

 

After a lot of searching and trawling through forums with a number of people complaining about porting issues I found the following:

 

you need to perform the following steps after having a number ported with a new iPhone:

 

Go to settings>phone>my number .... Then change it to your permanent number

 

Then iMessage and FaceTime will reactive with this number, iTunes will show the correct number, and your friends (using iMessage) will all see your correct number.

 

Hope it helps!

 

Simple fix and all texts are now working fine. This is after a full week of not functioning and not a peep about the above process from any of the reps I have spoken to or mention of it on the web site. I'd always assumed it go the number direct from the sim but clearly not. Anyway thanks to all those who posted. Cheers
