    • a chargeback via a paypal account used in an ebay sale doesn't usually result in funds being sucked from your bank account,  just that you attain a paypal negative balance. as you saying the money was taken by paypal from your bank account without you authorising this? or is it directly the buyers name that is shown? regarding the chargeback but either way you bank account HAS been debited? dx  
    • what solicitor is the PAPLOC from? then just search xxxx snotty letter dx  
    • moved to the debt self help forum. plenty of like threads here to read along with the ones you've done so far..good work. last thing you ever want to do is look at any kind of IVO/BK or anything alike concerning consumer debt, never do that, turns unsecured debts into secured ones in many instances. your best bet for now is p'haps looks at  Options for dealing with your debts: Breathing Space (Debt Respite Scheme) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) sadly you have to go thru one of the free debt charities to invoke that but DON'T be tempted to also open up a DMP with them, just get the Breathing Space done. get that in place that gives you at leasy 60 days buffer you've also goto to realise you'll probably get a default once breathing space is in place, bit if not it might pay you to withhold payments even after BS then p'haps re start payments once a DN for each debt is issued and registered. at least that way, whatever happens in 6yrs the debt will drop off dx  
    • Hello, I am a private seller and recently sold a pair of trainers on eBay.  Everything seemed fine until just after the eBay 30 day mbg had expired.  The buyer contacted me with photos showing me that both shoes had ripped.  He wanted his money back, and after refusing to refund him, he then left me retaliatory and defamatory feedback on my profile to the effect that I had sold him fake trainers (this was removed by eBay).  He then initiated a chargeback via Paypal.  Invariably, the outcome was in his favour, and I have now been charged for the cost of the trainers.  I would have also been stung for the chargeback fee, but eBay refunded this.  Incidentally, I do have the email receipt of the trainers from when I bought them from a well-established and bona fide online retailer.  The susbequent conversation with eBay followed its predictable course, i.e. the chargeback is out of their hands etc. I have been in contact with citizens advice, and my bank.  Citizens advice told me that as a private seller I'm responsible for the "Title and description" of the goods, but not the performance, or the fitness for purpose.  To me it is clear; if you receive something that's not as described, you don't then use the goods, and more than 30 days later claim 'not as described'.  In my mind, this makes the claim fraudulent.  He's used the 'they're fake' card to give credence to a 'not as described' claim here, obviously, without any evidence.  My understanding is that the chargeback is unlawful, because the trainers were shipped as described.  However, I read something on an eBay forum regarding sellers having no statutory rights, i.e. no right to appeal against a chargeback decision, or to complain to the financial ombudsman.  Does this mean that if my bank disputes the charge on my behalf, it will be to no avail, even if it's recognisably a fraudulent chargeback?  I have reported it via the Action fraud website. Any advice, anyone?  Would be most grateful!
    • Thank you, I have drafted my letters and started to complete the reply form, printed from this site and not using the one they provided.    2 questions, on the forum link it says to tick box D & I, the reason for box D will be given on my thread, what would my answer be to "I dispute the debt"?  Do I send anything for the Vodafone debt they have included?  I've only done 118 loan s. 77 & capital one credit cards so. 78    Thank you

    • 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,

 

I just need to know that what I’m doing is correct?

 

I bought a motorcycle 1 yr and 2mths ago,

 

the cam chain has snapped and caused £4300 damage,

 

the manufacturer has kindly said they will pay 50% of the parts,

but have also stated it’s a lifetime part and shouldn’t snap,

they are writing this in a report for me,

 

I’m sending the garage I purchased the bike from a letter stating the sale of goods act,

saying I would like them to pay for the repairs as I’ve only covered 3-4k miles on it and haven’t had reasonable use,

 

now the manufacturer has stated the offer is only available until end of Feb,

do I tell the garage owner this in the letter or is this pressuring them?

 

Also do I address the letter to both of the owners as there are two, husband and wife?

 

The bike has only covered in total 23k miles and has a full service history,

I’m also including the £177 it cost to diagnose the fault in the claim.

 

What’s the likely hood of me winning?

He’s gone from saying I don’t have a leg to stand on

to send me the details and I’ll speak to my solicitor,

 

do I have a good case?

 

Sorry first post is a question.

 

Cheers

It sounds as if you do have a good case. If he manufacturer says that it is a lifetime part then it seems pretty cut and dried.

 

Write to the garage and enclose a copy of the letter from the manufacturer. Tell them that you advise them to agree to carry out the repairs in time to take advantage of the offer from the manufacturer otherwise they may find they will have to foot the entire bill.

Tell them that even though the bike was bought secondhand, that you are still covered by the Sales of Goods Act which requires that goods be of satisfactory quality and remain so for a reasonable time. Point out that as the cam chain is meant to last for the life of the bike, that the fact that it has snapped 14 months after you bought the bike, is not relevant as clearly it was intended to last the life of the bike and it is not "satisfactory" if it has not.

 

I wouldn't wait to long. Don't get drawn into protracted correspondence. They should be able to give you an answer by the end of the week.

 

By the way, on a lifetime guarantee, the manufacturer should be paying for the whole thing - not just 50%, but it will be easier to go against the seller.

Does this look ok?

 

Complaint about faulty goods

 

I bought a Motorcycle BMW K1200R registration xxx from you on 02 November 2012. I paid £5100.

I now find the goods have the following fault:

 

The Cam chain has snapped and bent the pistons requiring an engine rebuild at the cost of £4258.72 plus £177 for diagnostics totalling £4435.72,

 

BMW have stated the cam chain requires no service nor is there a schedule to change the cam chain

and certainly shouldn’t break at 23264 miles,

I have only covered around 4000 miles on the bike over 14 months, this isn’t of reasonable use.

 

BMW have agreed to pay for 50% towards the costs of the parts (not labour),

how-ever BMW have stated this good will gesture will only be valid the month of February 2014,

the quote of repair is included and a copy of the bill I have paid so far for diagnoses.

 

Under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended) goods you supply must be of satisfactory quality,

be fit for purpose and match their description.

As there was a problem with the goods when I bought them, I request that you repair the goods at no cost to me.

 

I have enclosed a copy of the receipt, estimated repair costs and independent report in support of my claim.

Please respond within 7 days of receiving this letter.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Should I add both business owners in the letter or just the main guy?

Yes, they have been informed,

 

he was originally saying I have no rights after 6mths,

 

I went away and called Citizens advise

 

they said to send the letter but I'm waiting on the report,

 

I called him back and said what BMW said and citizens advise,

 

he then stated he would get his legal team to look at the letter when he gets it.

ok good so he's already on the back foot then

cause he tried to spoof you and you've caught him out.

 

pers I think you need to reword that letter then.

 

your tack needs to be slightly more forceful.

 

can I just check something else first..

 

WHO told you to go an get it fixed yourself..anyone?

 

and at what point did BMW get involved

after the repair?

whos idea was that?

It's not yet been repaired only diagnosed, it's sat with BMW waiting on the outcome of this,

 

I contacted BMW originally for good will,

they originally refused until I got in touch with the managing director of BMW UK

 

then they offered 50%.

Hi dx,

Got a letter a couple of years ago stating the RBS/NatWest Visa Debit Cards now provide full sect.75 cover same as their credit cards I believe the other high street banks followed suit.

 

 

It has been seen to work.

 

 

Worth a try dfinitely imo.

No,

I had it recovered to BMW as the dealer is about 130 miles from me,

 

I called BMW to see about good will and

then contacted citizens advise

 

they said to contact the garage as BMW have no legal obligation,

and state sale of goods act.

As an ex BMW rider, this cam problem is not one I have ever heard of in 40 odd years of riding.

 

 

 

 

You will need to enclose all the bikes ID date etc. and layout the details in chronological order.

The MD BMW UL

 

 

Dear xxxxxxxx

 

 

Ref: BMW Motor Cycle Reg. No. xxx xxxxx.

 

 

 

 

I purchased this motorcycle in good faith from xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on {date} for the sum of £ xxxxx.xx the bike has travelled only xxxxxx miles since new.

On xx xx xxxxx the cam chain failed.

 

 

{ add the rest of the history so far here}.

 

 

BMW have offered 50% on the cost of parts to repair the bike, whilst I am pleased that BMW has made this offer I feel that given the age and low mileage of the bike BBW should consider an absolute minimum of 75% of the full cost or repairs needed to return the bike to a condition that is fit for purpose and that the seller should cover all remaining cost.

 

 

I am aware that this is over and above the provisions of the Sale of Good Act but as has been stated the failed part is considered a 'lifetime' operating part that does not need servicing' this clearly brings up the fact that there is an inherent fault with this part.

 

 

This is certainly something that BMW UK should want to see rectified.

 

 

Send recorded /signed for post.

 

 

Please as said check your debit card providers Visa cover.
