    • Hi, If they haven't followed the court's directions there will be little tolerance of the court. Anyway please can you upload a copy of the court paperwork
    • Yes, you should have applied for an immediate strike out as soon as the deadline expired. Without the agreement, they are stuffed Forget Barclaycard, Asset link is now the creditor, and it is down to them to provide the agreement.  That needs to go into the witness statement. They have not provided the agreement contrary to directions of the court and request the court strike out the claim as to the original court directions.
    • I did not receive a notice via post but in my claim status it shows my claim was transferred to a court I requested in my DQ, as it is closer to me.    Defense I filed:  1.       The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2.       The defendant paid the lead tenant a fixed sum monthly bill without fail for the extent of the rental period of the accommodation their contract was associated with who was responsible to make payments to the claimant, ending in June 2023. 3.       After moving out, a month later, the claimant wrote to state that an outstanding sum existed. Further stating, as one of the 10 tenants at the time, I now owed them the full sum instead of my 1/10 proportion of said debt, as 10 students were at the dwelling. They also intimated that they were legally allowed to charge me the full sum if the other renters were not to pay their share under some equal and joint severity rule. 4.       Despite sending numerous requests prior to the court claim being raised for copies of said bills for said utilities covered by the agreement, the claimant failed to send any clear bills. This included a CPR 31.14 on xx/xx/xxxx sent via post. 5.       The defendants stress that they acted in good faith to settle the outstanding balance, as evidenced by the confirmation received from the claimant.  Any subsequent demands for additional payments are unwarranted and contradict the claimant's previous acknowledgment of settlement. 6.       Pursuant to OFGEM code of back billing rules the alleged charges relate to charges which have not been billed correctly by Co-operative Energy and are therefore prevented from charging. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to: - a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement. b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed. c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim. 7.As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation                  that the money is owed. 8.It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

    • 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.

Please see the following letter that has been sent to Kwick-Fit.

 

Just to confirm I purchased a Renault Megane 05reg 1.4 from new and have 68,000 millage on the clock.

 

Dear Customer Services,

 

Yesterday (04.02.2012) I had a full service and MOT at your Brighton Road, Croydon Branch. I am disgusted with the level of service I received.

 

The following events occurred as follows;

 

I brought the car in at 08:30 and was asked if I had any issues regarding the car. I replied with the driver side headlight needs a new bulb (which we purchased a day prior to service but was unable to fit). So I was told that they were unable to use someone else’s bulb, but could replace and fit the bulb for £10.99 (Which I fully understood and asked if they could leave the spare bulb in the car as a spare).

 

I also confirmed that the passenger window doesn’t go up or down.

Before we left the branch the car had already been moved into one of your empty bays.

 

I hadn’t heard all day from the branch so I phoned at 14:13 for a status check and spoke to Kwik-Fit employee. He then told me that the MOT failed due to the front light and brake balance. I was told the service would be done within 30-40mins and the MOT would be redone (a handbrake issue was never discussed).

 

Second time I phoned for a status check was at 16:12, I spoke to Kwik-Fit employee again who this time said that the handbrake was broken and would have to go to Renault to be replaced. This may also cause the MOT to fail. He said the MOT guy was coming back at 16:30 to run the MOT again.

The Branch then contacted me at 16:30 to confirm that the car was all done and ready to be picked up. They also confirmed that the price for a Full Service, MOT and bulb+fitting would cost £195.99.

 

We arrived at 17:00 to collect the car. I paid for the service and paperwork was handed over with no discussion regarding MOT or service faults. I left with keys and paperwork after paying. When I got to my car I noticed that the handbrake was off. So when I went to pull the handbrake up I noticed that the casing around the handbrake was cracked and loose. Also this made the handbrake hard to adjust (my car was not dropped off like this).

 

I then left the car and went back into the branch, and asked if someone would come out and have a look. The Manager at the time was cashing up and asked if one of his staff would come out with me. He sat down and asked what was wrong. I then showed him the handbrake which his reply was “it’s on the service notes”. He then got out of the car and went back into the Branch office.

 

During this time I can only presume that he spoke to the Manager or employee who ran the MOT or Service, as he then can out and explained what happen. He said “It got stuck and had to be opened to make it work”. He also said “that when he opened the handbrake it’s all broken down in pieces”. I then went back into the Branch Office and spoke to the Manager. He said that “I should come back Tuesday and speak to the guy who ran the service as he’s not in till then, and there’s nothing more he can do”. Also he confirmed again that the handbrake issue was one the service notes.

 

I took my car there in good faith believing that your guys are well trained and equipped to carry out a basic service and MOT.

 

When I picked up my car I noticed that the spare bulb was missing which I purchased outside of Kwik-Fit, the handbrake is cracked and very hard to move, the service mileage has not been reset (still saying 2,000 till next service). I’m not happy that the service/MOT notes were not discussed. I can’t believe that during the time I phoned them at 16:12 to 16:18 when the MOT was redone (though the MOT guy wasn’t expected till 16:30) that a MOT has been redone.

 

I don’t feel safe to take my children in the car as I’m afraid of what else has been missed, not done or damaged during your Branch having my car. I’m really worried about the handbrake as they said it was broken inside but I can only see casing damage. Also when dropping off my car I was in the branch office for at least 10-15 minutes. During this time the car had already been moved into one of your bays, and at that time the handbrake issue was not raised.

 

I don’t feel coming back and speaking to the service guy will help matters.

 

What I expect from you;

I want the handbrake replaced. A refund for the MOT and Service and for you guys to pay for a re-service at a Renault garage (will not use Kwik-Fit again). I also expect you to pay for any issues brought up during the second service.

I need this done ASAP as I need my car for work and driving children to school. I cannot use my car as it feels unsafe, and unroad worthy. I expect you guys to arrange a courtesy car until it’s been sorted. Also to compensate me for anytime I have to have off work due to me having to take my car to be rechecked and faults to be amended. Also anytime I’m unable to attend work due to not having a car or using public transport.

 

Please contact me if you require more information.

I’ve also added this to the Consumer Action Group forum.

 

Avoid Kwik-Fit at all costs.

Pretty good post............... Until the end.

 

Fix the damaged handbrake OK.

You want a refund for the KF Service & MOT, fair enough, but why make them pay for a dealer service. You would have had to either pay KF or the dealer. It's not reasonable to expect a charity Service & MOT. Plus pay for any issues brought up in the charity service, yeah right, so you want these for nothing as well. Apart from the handbrake trim that's broken, why does it feel unsafe and unroadworthy?

 

You want a courtesy car..............................................and compensation........................maybe they should redecorate your lounge as well, for free of course.

 

Nice use of the 'children' angle.

 

You chose the 'cheap' option, for main dealer service, next time take it to a main dealer. But hurry, Renault are terminating a whole load of them.

Nice reply H..... lol. The lounge could do we a make over.... And as you can tell all sense of forgiveness went by the way side when writing this letter as I was still filled with rage.

 

I tend to agree with you that some (not all) is asking for to much. The handbrake which they are responsible for will need replacing/fixing (this can only be done at a Renault garage). I do also believe that they should give me a refund on the work carried out due to some areas of the service not actually being fully carried out. If I was to recieve these I would be happy to continue with my life knowing the inner rage would soon fade away. I also think that the response "it's on the service notes" was a riddle. So I bring my car in, you brake it but ..... hang on.... wait... it's OK it's on the notes.

 

Their head office is phoning within the next 48hrs so I will keep you up to date on progress.

Having been caught out by KwikFit once to the tune of nearly £600, there is no ways we could ever recommend this company!"

 

May I ask what the issue was? And what was the outcome?

So, they did something to the handbrake to get it to "work" if it is not functioning properly, on or off it should fail the MOT. If a handbrake cable is broken on one side and has not been replaced, again it should fail the MOT. If they have broken casings etc then they should make good the damage or at least called you to advise of extra work and the risk of damage and to get your approval.

 

If you have any doubts as to the MOT, contact VOSA ASAP. Nothing scares a test centre more than VOSA.

 

And then there is the not insignificant matter of the light bulb. What have they done with it? They have not fitted it so why has it disappeared? It may be unwise to suggest anything else on a public forum.
