    • Do you intend to revise this thread's title assuming Labour win the general election?  
    • quite usual for couriers to swap parcel contents, though it could have been done by someone at the 1st address before it got to where it should have .... ebay. just to clarify as you seem to be not understanding/reading some posts correctly.   you should always ignore a dca totally unless you ever get a letter of claim in the post. you never ever ring a DCA.. they LIE. no!! no!! they dont own the debt, their txt says our client ebay. only the OWNER of a debt can take you to court. and ebay dont do court. i find it quite amazing that you have numerous threads about ebay/paypal regarding issues since you joined in 2011 but have never read any of the advice previously given. dx    
    • so where are the one with this HMTL link? and when were they sent.? pdf's merged and properly named. dx  
    • Hi Just had a wee look at your PDF and nothing really to add. Now as for the Court Fees if these are in there Claim then that is for the Judge to decide whether they accept the recovery of Court Fees in the Claim. If recovery of Court Fees are not in the Claim and they try to recover these via your deposit then you dispute this with the Tenancy deposit scheme your deposit is protected in and point out these costs should have been in there Court Claim which they failed to do and is there error.  
    • The postcode is an important point. You cannot be in two postcodes at the same time and the contract only covers the F area and not the E area where Met placed your car. See there is some   advantages in with idiots.🙂 The other fact about the electric spaces is that as you are not allowed to park there, the sign is prohibitory so cannot  offer a contract anyway. and another biggie in your favour is you were not the driver and the PCN does not comply with PoFA. I had another look yesterday at the PCN and there is another error since it does not say that the driver is responsible to pay the charge during the first 28 days. Schedule 4 Section 9 [2][b] (b)inform the keeper that the driver is required to pay parking charges in respect of the specified period of parking and that the parking charges have not been paid in full; so that is another nail in their coffin and it s something I would include in  your WS since that is one that every Judge would accept as a failure to comply. As far as their WS is concerned some of them leave it to the last minute to prevent Defendants being able to counteract their claims. However if they leave it too late [ie after the stipulated time] you can email yours to the Court on the last day and complain at the bottom of your WS that you have not received it and therefore you are asking the Court not to accept their WS. In your case it isn't that important since you have a virtual walkover in Court. I would be surprised if they don't concede beforehand. It is a lost cause for them. Not that I would advocate parking in their electric bay in future with a petrol driven car again.🙂

    • 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.

I ordered a Samsung Galaxy S3 from Carphone Warehouse on the phone on Monday 6th August 2012, I received it on Tuesday 7th August 2012, however I found that I just couldn't get on with this phone so I popped into my local Carphone Warehouse store on Saturday asking if I could exchange, I was told I had 14 days to exchange so I said I will bring it in and do an exchange.

 

Yesterday, I went into the store with the phone and I was in there for quite some time and in the end they said they couldn't exchange it, they said they would have to cancel the whole thing and order a new contract with a new credit check which I did not want but also they didn't provide me with the service that the store manager said he would.

 

Where do I stand?

 

Thanks.

They dont need to do another check. They can replace the phone for another of equal value/spec and simply transfer the contract over. I've had this done twice in the last 5 years.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

They won't do it, I contacted the Chief Executive who passed it onto someone to look into it, got a phone call yesterday saying sorry nothing we can do, therefore I am stuck on a 2 year contract with a phone that I do not want.

 

The phone I want is worth slightly less than the one I have now.

Get in touch with trading standards and send carphone warehouse a LBA. You have 14 days from receipt of the phone/start of contract to cancel it or change it without penalty. That should be in the terms and conditions CW gave you and in your mobile contract. Dependant on your network, have you been in to the networks shop and see if they can help out?

 

If they still refuse, then its definitley time to enter a full complaint and consider sending a lba, then proceeding through MCOL.

Well, I don't wanna cancel it, just change the phone.

 

I went into Carphone Warehouse on Saturday but the guy who served me rang someone and the guy on the other end tried to get Vodafone to give me an additional handset but I failed the credit check this time round but obviously I don't want an additional handset, I just want to exchange the one I have, they then phoned someone else infront of me only to be told an exchange was not possible.

 

I was informed yesterday that I can not exchange the phone or even return it as I have been using it and the contract sim.

 

Very frustrated, I only want to exchange the handset, I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 which came out in June which is £499 to buy outright, I want to exchange it for a HTC One X which came out in Feb/March and is £449 to buy outright so obviously I'm looking to exchange for a cheaper handset than the one I have.

You have 14 days from start of the contract as i said earlier to cancel or exchange. Sounds like carphonewarehouse dont know about soga or statutory rights.

Yeah your right and I was totally aware of this, the store manager even said I could exchange it but when I went in on Monday he wasn't there but I gave his name to the person who served me and he phoned the manager and checked and it was fine but then after speaking to 2 people on the phone they said they couldn't do it, their excuse was because I bought it over the phone and was classed as a different type of order but that's rubbish, it was still sold to me by them.

Contract trading standards and tell them what has happened, then depending on what they say, you will need to exhaust CW's complaints procedure then consider legal action. ONce CW see you are serious, especially after the store manager said you can exchange it, they will probably back down.

 

However, try and see the actual store manager you talked to first. Ask him why he gave you completely false information regarding the contract.

I think I have been through the complaints procedure already haven't i? I've been in store and had no luck so went directly to the Chief Executive who got someone to try and sort it out but no luck, no where else to complain to I don't think so it looks like I will have to go to Trading Standards.

You need it in writing and you will need to get a "final response" from the company that proves you have exhausted their procedure. If you dont have it, then it will be harder to substantiate any claim in court.

 

See if you can speak to the first manager, he might be able to do something for you, and you wont need to consider other action.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Got an email just now saying they are investigating and will contact me within 48 hours but this email was from the same person that contacted me the other day saying that they could not do anything.

 

At least if they don't resolve it and I have proof I have complained and tried resolving it then I can start the ball rolling with Trading Standards.

Thats what a lot of businesses do. They think youll just give up and go away, and most of the time, people do.
