    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. 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. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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.

Several weeks ago we put our car into the Galashiels branch for an MOT,

new exhaust and shock absorber.

 

Phone call from the supervisor was to inform us that they had broken the windscreen from using the air pressure chisel

on the old shock absorber (really?).

 

After discussions between myself and the supervisor the windscreen was replaced by them and

a few days later I collected the car.

 

I telephoned the branch the next day as the hand brake and brake pedal were so tight it was ridiculous.

(The handbrake had 1 click only).

 

I was told to bring it in when I could and it would be checked.

 

Unfortunately I was taken ill that afternoon and was off work for 3 weeks with Vertigo.

As I couldn't drive the car home from work my colleagues husband-who is a garage mechanic of over 15 years experience

-drove the car home to me and said the brakes were dreadful.

He couldn't believe it had just passed an MOT with the brakes as they were.

 

In his professional opinion the brakes had been adjusted either during the fitting of the exhaust

or shock absorber or for the MOT and were far too tight and

told me to take it back to them to sort it as it was their negligence/fault.

 

I should also say the same branch had done a brakes examination and said they looked brand new a few weeks before the MOT.

 

I telephoned to raise my concerns about the brakes and handbrake and asked if I could bring the car in that day.

 

The supervisor said I had to book a brakes examination a couple of days hence

-even after I explained previous call before my sickness.

 

I was unable to keep that Friday appointment as I became sick again (vertigo so cant drive).

 

On the Monday I was unable to drive the car out of my driveway as the back brake had locked so

 

I phoned RAC and he freed the brake and told me that I would need new brake shoes.

I got them fitted the same day at a different branch as I cant do without my car.

 

I have had to pay for new brake shoes because they were overtighted/adjusted by the Galashiels branch

to the tune of over £133 through either negligence or bad workmanship and caused me a great deal of inconvenience.

 

I should certainly not be out of pocket for their shortcomings.

 

I have completed the online customer care form but was told by a lady that answers

when you phone that these forms are for feedback only,

complaints sent on this are ignored-charming!

 

Also tried to email using the address from someone else's post but it came back as unknown address..........

Hi,

I had several problems with kwick-fit in the past.

It seems to me that they are a franchise, so no standard across all the garages.

I do all I can on my car myself, anything I can't or won't do myself, I take it to a VW specialist and he's quite clued up and always carries out repairs in front of me explaining everything.

I do not trust to leave my car to any garage, especially the main dealers and large companies.

You should be able to get your money back by writing to the ceo

 

Email: [email protected]

 

Good luck

Kwik fit mechanics are most likely trainees. On work placement from college. At the one near me ( Chester, i think theres only 2 actual fully qualified mechanics in the entire place.

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..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

Hi Isi. Just a couple of things i don't quite understand about your post. Firstly, given the car went in for work stated, then why would they need to be anywhere the brakes at all?

Secondly, did you actually take the car to another kwik fit branch for the new brakes to be fitted?

I have no idea why they would need to adjust the handbrake cable or make the brake pedal as high and tight as they did-Im not a mechanic. The mechanic that drove it home for me said they have adjusted the brakes most likely during the MOT or have caught the cable up when fitting the exhaust. Yes I took it to another Kwik Fit for the new brake shoes

I am very happy to inform that I received a telephone call after I posted my complaint through their web site form. I have received a cheque for a full refund for the new brake pads. The manager at the branch that fitted them telephoned as an independent adjudicator on the matter and couldn't have been any nicer. Matter now closed. :-)
