    • Thank you both, I will make those changes. I have also downloaded the compensation list to add to the evidence and complete the protection bit off their website.  I am going to court next Thursday to deliver the bundle; I will confirm this on Tuesday. I have been to court a few times to represent the military when a soldier is in court, but I will be going. Thank you for all the additional advice. Once I have the whole bundle, I will email it to the admin email. Ill be honest, this is not about the money for me, I do not mind losing that, so I will not be signing a confidentiality agreement.   You guys are amazing
    • Actually there wasn't a massive amount of work to do on the WS.  The "meat" was there because of the great work you'd already done. Here is a version which I think is nigh-on finished. However, with Easter there are a few days for the other regulars to suggest tweaks. Defendant WS.pdf
    • Hi all, We bought a part to fix our washing machine approx 13 months ago direct from the manufacturer of the washing machine via phone. This part then failed 13 months later, as confirmed by their own engineer, who was sent by the manufacturer (who is also the retailer for the part) FoC. The engineer actually installed a replacement part, the machine came back to life, but they then removed the part used for testing (and ours reinstalled) as "we would be charged for it". The retailer are refusing to replace the part, stating that they only warranty parts for 90 days. When I stated that I believed the Consumer Rights Act gives me longer than that, they insinuated that it did not, and this was repeated by many representatives. AIUI for goods bought more than 6 months ago, I need to get an engineers report to confirm the part has failed? Or that it has failed due to manufacturing issues? Or would the companies own engineers report suffice? Also, does anyone have any other decent contact details for Hotpoint (or the Whirlpool group)? Thanks, GH
    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.

    • 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 all!

 

I havent been on here for ages, so I do hope if some of the old crew are still on that all of your issues are sorted or at least going your way :-)

 

Now I am not sure if this is a shot in the dark or I have a claim.

 

In 2008 I called a company I wont name for some advice on getting a policy to pay out if I was too ill to work or got made redundant.

 

The company advised on two seperate policies and these were set up.

 

I was out of work a while back so had reduced them both down, then when back in work for some reason I increased one but not the other.

 

Things are looking iffy at work so thought I best check how I stand and increase the redundancy one.

 

The lady advised me on my options.

 

For some reason, when this was all set up, the financial adviser put the address of the house my mortgage is on,

which was being done up and not habitable,

in fact i have never lived in it,

even though he knew I was living back at home and this should have been my correspondance address.

 

I happened to say to the woman,

I should really change the correspondance address, to which she then said, yes because if you no longer live there you are not covered!

 

I then explained to which she, her colleauge I spoke to next, and supervisor all confirmed.

.. in this case you have never been covered! and even said...this looks like a mis-sold policy!

 

So guys, does this sound correct, and if so what do I do next?

 

As always, thanks for reading and any help in advice

was this an insurance policy for you to live at the 'wrongly addressed' house, that you didn't live at?

 

so you had an insurance policy for you to do something but never did it?

if so the whole policy is mis-sold not just the PPI element because of the 'wrong' address?

 

sri i might be getting the wrong end of the stick.

 

or was it a sep PPI policy taken out to pay out on an existing insurance incase of 'illness etc'

Sorry probably me, this was an insurance policy, so if I was too ill to work it paid my mortgage.

 

The company said today, you have to be living at the address you have the mortgage and policy on, the bloke who sold it to me knew i wasnt living in it as was undergoing major renovation, but i recall him saying there was a reason the paperwork should be sent there, probably to make it happen and get his sale?

 

Any more information needed please ask :)

 

thanks again!

Hi guys!

 

Ok I have found the following so please let me know which I need to scan :-

 

Statement of fact

Certificate of cover

Couple of general letters saying how much

 

Then one bit that has concerned me, it is unsigned but it says yes to questions :-

 

Are you named on the mortgage agreement for the residentail property which is your main home - Yes

 

Are you paying or about to pay a mortgage agrment for a residential property which is permantly occupied by you and your immediate family as your home - Yes

 

It then has a D/D agreement at the back which is all blank, I shall go and look but I seem to recall seeing another request for D/D details as it didnt collect the first one a month later, so hopefully that just was a payment agreement I signed :/

 

I am sure he said someone about why it should be at that address, I just hope I havent signed away anything to stop me being able to claim due to me not reading it properly!

following our telephone conversation today.

 

it has become apparent that your salesman mis-sold me this : [xyz] insurance policy

 

"The company said today, you have to be living at the address you have the mortgagelink3.gif and policy on,"

 

i wish now to reclaim the whole policy payments

plus 8% interest under section 69 .

on each payment from its date till settlement

I was sold this by a broker, or financial adviser company, so far I havent spoken to them.

 

But yesterday it was the actual company I have the policy with.

 

So its the person who advised me then I need to write to?

 

Keep it short and simple then yes?

 

Thanks :)

Thanks dx, the irony, I have today been told I am probably being made redundant :evil:

 

So am I best saying :-

 

I have never lived in the house and the salesman was aware

 

or

 

I have never lived in the house and the salesman was aware but said it needed to be at that address for some reason

 

Good spreadsheet!

great thank you, by the way that spreadsheet says single premium policies?

 

I shall try and do now and get posted then let you know the outcomes, pretty annoying when you think I could have actually claimed on it now!

 

Probably no point in mentioning I am being made redundant?

on EACH payment from it date

  • 2 weeks later...

I called the company who suppy the policy tonight and cancelled the policy, when I explained why they actually said if I wrote to them there is a chance they could refund me some of the money.

 

This seemed nice of them, bearing in mind the words...chance...and...some, lol

 

I guess I am better as planned to write my case and spreadsheet to the advisory company who set the policy up?

 

Not sure how good my interest and number of days elapsed is adding up though :/

The company said you have to be livingat the address you have the mortgage and policy on for it to be valid. I have never livedat this address, the salesman knew this at the time I took it out but followinghis recommendations I was advised to use that address anyway...or remove the anyway word?

I wish now to reclaim the wholepolicy payments plus 8% interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984on each payment from its date till settlement.

Enclosed are details of thesepayments.
