    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx. To ensure fairness and transparency in our communications leading up to the court hearing, I request that you use postal mail exclusively for all further correspondence related to this claim. Please refrain from sending any communication or documents via email. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to contact me via postal mail at the address provided above. Yours sincerely, xxxx
    • In the SAR, I received the original application, lots of computer print outs, yearly statements from 2013 and the new emails regarding my complaint. They sent me a £50 cheque after I chased them for the SAR after the 30 days. They said they was waiting for me to respond to an email (which I never received) before sending the SAR
    • classic P2G. I'm sure dianne and Lesley will pop an email to you at some point.

    • 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 thanks for getting in contact with us following your computer repair. Is this item under the first years warranty or is it under an extended agreement that you have?If its under the latter all I would suggest what you do is send 'claims investigations' a letter to state how the damage has happened and when, and they will look into it further for you. If the item is under the first years warrenty and you have damaged it. We would not be able to repair the item as you would not be covered under the manufactures warranty for accidental damage and that would be why they have sent it back to you. Keep me updated and I will look into this further for you if required. Kind Regards, PaulThe KNOWHOW Team

Just a wee bit of help...... Will shortly be starting a thread on DSG regarding mis-selling and misrepresentation over the last 26 months. When I see these simple mistakes it really shows why DSG has failed, to their cost, to deal with my concerns.

Hi Kurvaface,Thank you for taking the time to get in contact with me. The agreements that we have are not insurance policies they are term agreements. We have several agreements which can be viewed in your local store if you would like to view them. If you have been sold anything from us under false pretences you can post up and I will look into this for you.Kind Regards,PaulThe KNOWHOW Team.

I pay to cag and contribute in order to ensure that anybody who needs help in a situation like this can get it without hinderance. I am sceptical that there is a legitimate

reason for the op to not have had his issues sorted yet. Based on my own experience with this company the only way to get rapid resolution is often to expose the problem publicly and embarrass the company into doing the right thing. The fact that this company has chosen to represent itself in such a public forum with a barely literate person suggests to me that they do not take it seriously. My advice to the op is to post up documentation for scrutiny by us so that the company concerned does the right thing - openly.

Pavel....your english is better than many around here :razz:

 

I suggest you make a complaint to PCworld but also in tandem to trading standards. 45 days is an utterly unacceptable degree of delay when dealing with a customer!

 

If you have any documentation in relation to the service you believe you should be receiving from this company, if you can upload it we will be able to make more suggestions:-D

Hope you have better luck than I did.

My Advent Vega was accidentally stood on by my son and the knowhow insurance was only a week old. The tablet went in for repair later Sept ,the tablet was gone 4 weeks and returned unrepaired as it was "mis-use" via "The claims dept".

I complained in writing (you can't call them) to the dept and no answer but was contacted by an independent claim assessor a week later who verbally upheld my claim.

A further 2 weeks passed and nothing so I wrote to the CEO of the DSG group and another week later I was contacted by a customer services person who said the report wasn't back yet (3 weeks).

I received a phone call yesterday from customer services to say that a letter was in the post and my claim was rejected ,Goodbye and sod off . Small claims here I come

Hi - I need Help, Currys in my experience just do not care about thier customers. Claims Investigations have had my explanatory letter for my Acer laptop since Nov 4th, ( following you collecting from store on 18.10.11) I rang your team last Friday & the service rep dictated an email he sent whilst I was on the phone to the Head of Investigations. Howeverseven days later& 38 days after I was told I could claim after accidentally damaging my laptop, endorsed by my local store, a service rep and a escalation team manager - still no decision ?????

Fair ??

I wish to report to this forum that I had an excellent service from Curry PC World's Knowhow recently. While I was shifting my HP desktop PC (quite heavy; it's the model with tower and monitor built in as one unit) from my loft room I accidentally dropped it when I attempted to rest it on the first floor banister. The PC landed on the ground wooden floor and was damaged. I sent it for repairs. I handed over the PC at the local Currys - the process was smooth. Whilst an attempt was made by the engineers to fix it, the customer service regularly updated me the progress. On Friday, I received a text message saying that the Knowhow would be replacing my PC. To date, I am due to visit the local shop to select a replacement product. I am highly satisfied with their service; on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give 10 to Knowhow!
