    • 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.  
    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍

    • 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'm looking for help, Last august (2012) my house was repossessed by Northern rock asset management (NRAM).

 

After a very long fight over arrears Nram got the their repossession order enforced and my wife and 2 boys plus my self had to move out.

 

this was the final nail in the coffin for my marriage and we moved to separate houses.

after 2/3 months our house was sold by auction for £30000 less then the market value.

 

Brings me to my help, we are now being pursued for £18694.18 and I would like some help fighting this.

 

I know many people will say that its my debt and I should pay it back but if I'm honest I don't feel responsible for it and nram owe me not the other way round, We had our house on the market and had interest even a offer (although rediculas) which we was told by NRAM that it was not good enough as there would still be a shortfall of £2000- £3000.

 

Now I know I am not going to ever see money back from nram but I want to fight the money they claim i owe them.

 

What would be the steps I would have to take?

 

Kindest regards.

Hello there.

 

Sorry to learn about the situation. We come across cases like this quite often, I can certainly appreciate your frustrations. All lenders have an obligation to treat their customers fairly in accordance with the 'mortgage conduct of business rules'. Here are a few of the key points which could raise a challenge, I think a couple may apply to you:

 

•The house was sold for a lot less than the market value at the time of sale.

•The house was not marketed well enough to obtain the best price.

•You arranged a sale which was refused by the lender, but after repossession the house was sold by the lender for a much lower price.

•If the house stood empty for a very long time, you may be able to argue that the mortgage company should have rented it out and therefore off-set possible rental income against the shortfall balance.

•Check who bought the property. Your lender should not have sold it to a related company

 

The rules say that all lenders must obtain the ‘best price that might reasonably be paid’ when they sell your house. If you do not think they have done this, it might be possible to dispute the amount they say you owe. You have six years from the date of sale to make a claim against the lender. You will need proof to support your case, such as valuations for your house at the time. Any complaint would need to be directed to NRam first, if they do not resolve the complaint you can then take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

 

Are you now in rented accommodation? Have you other debts?

 

Best wishes,

 

Seq

Hi

 

We are almost at this position with nram ourselves, our date for us and our 4 children is the 27th Nov next week). We have a property group making an offer to nram which being honest is a great offer, not too much less than market value and we would be willing to arrange a payment plan for the short fall. If nram refuse and auction the property it will sell for 40-50k less than the offer they are being given yet we have a strong feeling they will refuse it, they are nasty people and pray on people. We fell vivtim to fraud last year which left us unable to pay our mortgage for a couple months, we were honest with them and told it was ok and we could repay the arrears. Then in Feb we got an eviction notice which we got stayed but when it went to court the judge sided with them and a mandate put in place. WE then arranged to pay extra on top of what we were paying and all fine until last Monday when we got a second eviction notice!!! Fortunately we have found a beautiful home to rent and are moving this weekend and we hope and prey this offer to purchase is accepted but we doubt it. If it isn't we will dispute things when they come to us for the short fall!!

 

I hope you get this sorted, this is a horrid stressful time, I for one have got very ill over it x

Thanks for the replies,

 

Yes we have both moved to separate places and renting privately.

 

What would be the first port of call for me? all we seem to of had from nram is a couple letters saying the outstanding balance and to call to discuss, then a couple letters from a debt recovery agent 'Allied' chasing

the money.

 

Also stay strong Scots1

 

any help would be truly appreciated

Hi there, send them the affixed letter by recorded or special delivery. Write your name and address on the back of the postal order then photocopy both sides and keep in a safe place with a copy of the letter.
