    • 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.

Talk talk /aol

 

We purchased aol in 2001, we wanted broadband for the kids

 

They took 2 weeks over the installation date and a further 4 weeks before it actually worked, even then it was intermittent at best

 

In 2002 we cancelled it and went with sky and eventually we had the whole package with them

 

Not long after that my wife suffered a heart attack, the money for the account was taken from her account and until last week they took £27.99 a month for 9 years

 

Various things, apart from my wife's illness , happened in the first few years which lead us to missing these payments being taken

 

I won't bore you with the whole story but they have offered me 6 months compensation

 

They passed me from pillar to post with their new Delhi customer service department and I got nowhere

 

So I've taken them to task

 

I've emailed all the shops and CEOs and began handing leaflets outside their shops in London

 

I will continue to do this till they pay me back

 

If you have similar problems, feel free to contact me

You say they took money from your wifes account, but did you actually cancel the subscription to Sky ?

 

If I am reading this right Conniff, they had taken the sub for AOL not sky. However as you have said, had they cancelled the sub, if they had then they should be bought to task.

 

6 months comp is disgusting, I would be looking to have the whole amount paid back.

Ah right, thanks for that. So we are talking in the thousands of pounds, plus interest.

 

Have you the exact figure of what was taken so you can send them a recorded delivery letter with a demand for the full amount plus statutory interest at 8%pa ?

 

When you have done that, let us know what they respond with.

Hi Hooded,

 

Is there a reason why you haven't decided to take them to small claims court? I think thats what I would do. I would also send them a SAR request. Templates in the library, just amend.

 

 

Hi,

 

It's been a mad 9 years believe it or not, my wife was ill our son was knocked over by a drink driver and both my inlaws were taken ill. With the wife being ill and the monies coming from her account it just went unnoticed

 

We cancelled the contract after they failed to turn up on time to install the Internet and even when they did it didn't work properly. We cancelled it by phone and also letter

 

What amazes me is that even though we moved address in 6 years ago they still took the money even though that address was knocked down

 

Their new Delhi department for customer services is something to behold, I asked for the CEOs name and number and this fella said he was the CEO of talk talk, they said there was no uk number when I got one from ofcom, they said there was no uk address when there is a talk talk office 3 miles from my house in west London

 

I sent letters to all offices in the uk and hand delivered one to the west London office, I also have handed out 1000 leaflets to date outside there office in soho and in the west end

 

I have also ordered a 10 x 8 banner with the words Talk Talk are thieves ......this I will take to all media events in London and also all my Liverpool away games to get it on the telly ( the joys of having a scooter and living in London )

 

I've worked for the hillsborough justice campaign for 22 years and I'm used to fighting for what's right

 

I gave talk talk the option to pay me and told them I would go away but they chose to ignore me

 

I'll keep you all posted on how I get on and appreciate any other avenues I can go down or words from people who have had similar run ins with them

 

Many thanks and have a good Christmas and new year

I told the what to do with that

I would certainly look at taking them to a small claims court. Im having to deal with them on behalf of my late mum because of a 'mistake' they made.

Have you thought about contacting Watchdog, they love this sort of thing.

Good luck with your fight. Please keep us informed.

 

 

 

I'll keep you all informed, cheers for all the input
