    • Much appreciated for the ammendment. The snottier the better right!   What I am assuming is that this response is to be posted to Gladstones? However, I am seeing some users sending this as an email instead, which is a little confusing.  If we're happy with this response, what would you suggest is the best way to send it over to them (post/email), and is there anything additional I could include (if necessary)?  Thanks again! 
    • Hi I've read through other threads to better inform me of the process from here onwards. When I put in the MoneyClaim it gave me a claim number and it currently says to wait for the defendant to respond, they have until 7 August.   It seems their most likely action is to extend that a further 14 days to about 21 August - this hasn't happened yet, of course, as it is only 27 July but I'm anticipating that may be the case. when the expected defence action is taken by EVRi I will need to submit DQ with these responses A1 - no mediation B - my contact details C1 - yes to the small claims track D1 - No.  If No please state why.  I believe the defence will provide some rebuttal to the particulars of claim and so I need to include details as to why the claim requires a hearing.  Is there some certain templated text I can include here or will it vary depending on what the defendant comes back with? I see on the form it mentions the following: Relevant reasons include that there are factual disputes which will need the judge to hear from witnesses directly or the issues are so complex they need to be argued orally.  Hoping to reach out to see what may be the most effective statements for D1 reasoning. E1-5 are pretty straightforward. I want to get ahead of things and be ready to take the next step so I appreciate what advice you may have about the DQ.   Thanks!

    • 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 got a Letter before Action received on 7th April (dated 1st April) 2014 saying I have to pay £680.05 outstanding balance on my Vodafone account.

 

 

On 28th November 2013 I had problems with my mobile phone, went on Vodafone Lifechat and got told to go to a Vodafone shop. Meanwhile the shop assistant was checking my Sim card I asked him if Vodafone has an option to call from London to Germany - so from England to Europe. He confirmed with EuroTraveller I could do this for £3.00 a day. Based on this information I bought this option and a new Smartphone.

When I wanted to call a friend in Germany the option was locked so I went on LifeChat again telling them that I want to call from London to Europe. Nobody of the Customer Service made me aware or corrected my received wrongly information. Finally I called a friend in Germany after the Customer Service unlocked the option still on the base of wrongly given information. My next bill was then £116.60 which should be £29.00. Again I spoke on LifeChat with the Customer Service and now they informed me that this option is not meant to call from England to Germany. I told them that I want to cancel my contract due to misleading and misspelling a product I didn't ask for. They told me I should go to the shop assistant I get the proof from him that he wrongly informed me. I responded that either the shop assistant won't remember me or what he has said or admit that he misunderstood me. I call in Germany from my home line and do not need a mobile option on my English mobile as I have a German mobile phone - this all I told to the shop assistant.

 

 

A long correspondence began with Vodafone in which I said that I cancel this contract due to mis-selling and misleading. I asked for the Ombudsman contact address and also send the whole new handset back by Recorded Delivery to Vodafone in Newbury Berkshire RG14 2FN. Vodafone responded with a gap of 3 weeks or even didn't give me prompt information I asked for. In the last letter from Vodafone asked me to call 191 to check the status of the handset even though they knew that they sent me already a PAC to transfer my mobile number to the new provider. I couldn't call the number and before I sent Vodafone twice the signature that they have received the handset. In one letter they said they will cancel the early termination fees when I call 191. I sent them a letter asking Vodafone to give me a correct phone number so that I am able to do so.

 

 

On the airtime form it says "One of the ways that I may end this agreement is by giving you 30 days written notice".

 

 

Vodafone didn't respond to my letters on time as well or didn't give me the information I asked for.

 

 

Now I received a Letter before Action from Fredickson Debt Collection Services threating to take legal action against me.

 

 

Vodafone cut off my mobile service already in beginning January 2014. I think Vodafone cheats on Customers.

 

 

Now I have to go to a solicitor to ask for advice and ending up at court in a small claim.

 

 

If anybody could give me advice what further possibilities I have or which customer acts could support my case please let me know. Any help much appreciated.

 

 

Thank you very much.

Hi Urs, was the call made from England to Germany... I have eurotraveller myself and the way it works is you can use your UK allowances while abroad to ring the UK ONLY!...

If you have a complaint, Lee will be along shortly who is a very good Vodafone rep and i have personally had a few personal queries resolved myself.

 

Frederickson are part of Lowell and i think you need to ignore them as they are just DCA for hire.

Having just quick scanned, I suspect that Freds do not own this account and are collecting on behalf of Vodafone. This means they cannot take any legal action against you. Only Vodafone can do that and I can assure you, they won't.

 

If they foolishly tried it on, part of your defence would be the arbitrary admin fee they slap on when they pass a debt on. This fee is unlawful as it is not a true estimate of the admin costs.

 

 

 

Let us see if Lee can help you.

Thank you for the prompt response Silverfox 1961.

 

 

It's actually a mis-selling and misleading case. I saved all transcripts as proof. Vodafone explained me later as well what EuroTraveller is but I asked the shop assistant for a totally different option which I have now with O2. Vodafone even said I should check myself what I bought on their website instead of relying on a shop assistant, what's that then?

 

 

Even later in my correspondence with them I asked for other and further information which they never gave or delayed.

 

 

What is a 7 day cooling off for the handset or for the contract? And why on the contrary the air order form states "30day's written notice"?
