    • Why would you do a Freedom Of Information Request? Thats for public and government bodies only...    Either way, this is what happens in debt collection. Accounts sold as a figure on a spreadsheet loaded into a system that contact people to pay until they give in .  They never send the original agreements with pruchase. And yes, please do name names..
    • I bought a rare collectible item from a friend in USA. I paid him via Paypal and had him send it to my forwarding address in USA. This is a business called Stackry which is essentially storage lockers that consolidate packages for you and you choose how and where to ship them, thus cutting on international shipping costs. I have done this many times before and never had an issue. On this occasion, I chose the option of Global Mail Direct. The package was picked up and handed to DHL e-commerce and I was able to track it all the way to the UK. From then on, it was handed over to Evri and a new tracking number was generated. Long story short, they lost it. The driver marked it "out for delivery" then 2 hours later "returning to sender". I was at home and no attempt for delivery was made. What followed was several weeks of back and forth with Evri through chatbots, emails and phone calls trying to locate the package and have it delivered to me. They said I should contact the sender. I explained that in this scenario I am the sender and the recipient. I did not get anywhere. I emailed the CEO and joined a Facebook group. I kept screenshots of everything. At no point did they make a genuine attempt to intercept the package or locate it or at least assure me that it's on its way back to its origin in the US. For several weeks now, the tracking is simply stuck at "on its way back to sender". They owe me £200 and I intend to get it. I do not care how long it takes or how much it costs me. I am prepared to fight this to the end. I wrote them a letter before action and sent it by tracked post to their HQ giving them 14 days to make things right before I take the matter to court. It has been a week now and I have had no response.  I have no experience with legal matters and I am hoping someone can guide me into what I should do next. Thank you.
    • Thanks Dx, Tbh, I’d forgotten that this account was the subject of a charges claim - nearly 10 years ago now! I don’t know for sure that a default notice was issued by Barclays when the account was in arrears but I would guess there may have been one somewhere in 2010. A suspended repossession order was awarded around May 2010 so I’d assume that a default notice would have been a pre-requisite. Based on the info in the thread those arrears were cleared around 2014-2015 but I don’t have any more info to hand atm since it’s such a long time ago. I believe the files I prepped for court in 2015 have since been shredded. How would the presence or absence of an old default notice help with this current issue? Thanks for the merge/support. J

    • 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.

Just heard about this...

 

CAMPAIGNERS have condemned a price rise on mobile phone contracts worth an estimated £52 million from telecommunications giant EE.

 

• EE price rise condemned by consumer campaigners

 

• 3.3 per cent hike criticised as users will potentially see prices go up mid-contract

 

Everything Everywhere announced the 3.3 per cent rise on Orange and T-Mobile contracts to take place on April 10 and May 9 respectively.

 

Consumer watchdog Which? said it was a natural assumption by customers that a “fixed term” contract also meant fixed prices.

 

Which? executive director Richard Lloyd said: “It is outrageous that Everything Everywhere is forcing T-Mobile and Orange customers to collectively pay almost £52 million more per year for mobile phone contracts they thought were fixed.”

 

But EE insisted that contracts subject to the rise for 3G customers was never fixed price. They added that they were now introducing fixed-price contracts.

 

A spokeswoman for Ofcom said: “Ofcom is aware of the pricing changes announced by EE. While current rules allow for contracts to include price increases in certain circumstances, Ofcom is consulting on how to better protect consumers from price rises during fixed contracts.

 

Ofcom is currently running a consultation on mid-contract price rises and expects to reach a decision in June.

 

 

Was wondering how this affects my current 24-month contract (currently 9 months in) and whether or not I can claim breach of contract?

Unfortunately there's no way to cancel mid-contract just from this. Mobile phone contracts can increase so long as they are up to or under the current RPI, which, wouldn't you know it, is bang on 3.3%.

 

It isn't just EE/T-Mobile/Orange that do this. Every mobile phone network does the exact same thing. None of them are fixed price, all of them have that little get out clause.

When my contract (With T-Mobile/EE) is up at christmas I'm switching to 30-day sim-only I think.

Is this true if it is a second price rise as I remember not too long back that my contract increased due to the inflation and stayed under the RPI. Surely two increases is breach of contract?

If this is a second price rise within 12 months then yes it would constitute a breach of contract, but I don't recall when T-Mobile last increased their prices.

Not sure if the fact that they've gone from being T-Mobile to EE might also complicate things.
