    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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 am sure you have read and heard all of this before, mine is very similar. I asked (wrote Apr and May 2010) for vodafone to cancel the contract but they carried on charging me. I moved house considering that I have no business with Vodafone so no need to tell them that I moved. Boy, was I wrong? 4 years on and we are still fighting about the default they placed in December 2010.

 

I am just a bit peed off with the fact that I am supposed to pay for vodafones customer service error. They blame that I asked for pac code and never used it, I say was I supposed to know that they would carry on charging if I didnt.

 

It goes on...obviously I am facing all the problems that anyone with a default on their credit fie would, needless to say hundreds of hours of reading and writing blogs online, making phone calls, stressing out.

 

In some other threads people mention that there are template letter I could use...wonder if anyone can point me to them...I tried looking on the right of this screen but doesnt seem to get there. I think at this stage I should send then a 'sar' letter(?)

 

Thanks for reading.

we have voda onboard here

and usually get a very good result

just look at the successes thread on this telecoms homepage

 

can I suggest you do the following

and alert the rep

 

We thought it would be nice to introduce ourselves and to assure you all that our presence on CAG is with the very best of intentions.

.

vodafone UK has recently introduced a dedicated Web Relations Team which is keen to seek out customers who’re having difficulties with their accounts and feel that they have no other place to turn to than CAG and other consumer forums and blogs.

.

Naturally, it’s not possible for us to help directly with account specific queries on CAG and as such we would encourage those members who feel we can help them to contact us privately at [email protected] quoting ‘WRT135 – CAG Forum’ in the subject line.

.

When emailing us we would also ask that you either provide us with a link to your post or thread – if you’ve posted in another member’s thread please also provide your CAG username so that we can check what your query is.

****Also you will get an auto reply number. Post the number you get back this thread ***

 

Many thanks

 

Web Relations Team

Vodafone UK.

 

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Thanks dx100uk...but I have exhausted that avenue from MSE forum. I am sure these are the same people with different outfacing reps. I have a letter signed by a pesron from Vodafone quality assurance stating that the default is valid.

 

My previous experience going to the web relation team was almost treating them like judge jury and executioner at once. I have to escalate this matter further I guess, through ICO or some other avenue, hence I am looking for SAR or similar.

Your way forward is to make a Formal Complaint to The Data Controller at VF, do you have copies of your cancellation letters?

 

Have you checked your credit reference files recently?

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

Yes I have both the letters here. And since I learned about the default, I have signed up for experion so that I can keep an eye on changes etc. Would you have any pointers for me to go about writing the Data Controller guy at Voda?

Thanks for your reply btw.

OK.

 

 

The Data Controller

Vodafone UK

 

 

 

Ref: Phone Account Number xxxxxxxxxxxxx:

 

Formal Complaint: Maladministration:

 

Sir / Madam,

 

 

I refer you to an on going and long running dispute regarding the cancellation of Vodafone Account No.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx..

 

I attach herewith copies of letters written to Vodafone on xx.xx.xxxx and xx.xx.xxxx notifying that I was cancelling my contract forthwith.

 

However it seems because of the incompetence of Vodafone's staff this account was not cancelled as instructed.

 

Having moved house some time after the cancellation and not having further need to contact Vodafone for any reason I was shocked to find that the company had NOT cancelled this account in accordance with my written instruction.

 

I also became aware that Vodafone had registered a default on the account and that I had been paying for a cancelled contract for months.

 

I have previously dealt with the customer relations team to no avail!

 

The matter is quite clear this situation has arisen because of the gross incompetence of Vodafone and I now REQUIRE Vodafone to take the following actions.

 

1. To refund ALL payments taken from my account whilst no contract was in place between

myself and Vodafone ( enter the dates and amounts you require reimbursing).

2. Vodafone WILL remove ALL adverse data relating to this account from ALL Credit Reference Files to which has reported the cancelled account.

3. Vodafone WILL now make financial redress for the time, trouble and anxiety its incompetence has caused a minimum of £1500.00 I would consider reasonable given the length of time Vodafone has refused to acknowledge liability for its actions.

4. Vodafone has caused inaccurate and damaging data to be displayed on credit reference files for (state time) and MUST now make financial redress for this and an amount of £500.00 per entry made on CRA files a minimum of £1500.00 is considered reasonable.

 

I am aware that a Formal Complaint allows Vodafone 56 days to provide an answer, however given the companies intransigence for over x years I would expect a prompt and reasonable settlement.

 

Send recorded/signed for post. check delivery.

Wow, that looks sharp. I shall get that going in tomorrows post. Thanks.

 

More to follow as I hear.

 

There's no earthly point in 'beating about the bush' just gives these giant companies more chance to be incompetent.

 

Good Luck!!

I cant possibly explain the heartache it has caused me over the years, its so frustrating dealing with different departments and telling the story over and over again and needless to say, getting the hopes up just to find out it was futile.

 

Sometimes I would rather let go of things instead of dealing with these corporate giants like fighting for small amounts etc, but this is a big one. What is more surprising is most of the times the person on the other side of the phone is a complete novice and have no idea what implication their actions are going to cause on a strangers life.

 

I must say, I wanted to sort this matter out sooner and made a few attempts through vodafone web reps but couldnt take it any further. Now I think enough is enough.

 

Perhaps, instead of adapting to change we all should fight more. IMHO.

My stance is go in hard go to the top and don't ask, demand, tell and require answers and resolutions, there are some here at present who are suggesting you should 'open a dialogue' with rogue creditors and debt collection agencies IT JUST DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE.

Hi freeecyclist,

 

I have to admit that I don't recall this one from MSE.

 

However, if you'd like me to look into things further could you email me with your details via the Contact us form here and quote the code WRT135 - CAG Forum in the subject line?

 

Once sent you'll receive an automated reply with a reference number. Could you update the thread with this and I'll get back to you as soon as possible?

 

Kind regards,

 

Lee

Thanks Lee. It was Holly from web relations team. I have already written to the data controller at Vodafone as advised by Brigadier above.

 

TBH, I am not looking for help from the web rep, as I have wasted some time doing that before. But still, I am tempted to send you the details only if you have greater powers than your colleague at MSE.

 

Regards.

Hi freeecyclist,

 

Thanks for coming back to me.

 

As you'll appreciate, I'm unable to guarantee to the outcome of any case we come across online.

 

However, I am happy to take another look to make sure that nothing has been missed.

 

Kind regards,

Hi freeecyclist,

 

Having checked my emails I'm afraid I've unable to find yours.

 

So I can check again could you update the thread with your email reference number?

 

Failing this, could you email me with a contact number only at [email protected] and again quote the code WRT135 - CAG Forum in the subject line?

 

Kind regards,

 

Lee
