    • I know now, but always thought that if the transaction was excepted by card only way a customer could get a refund is by taking the goods back to get their money back

    • Yes I can imagine that kind of thing rankles a lot. I don't know what the timescale is for making chargeback claims. I suggest that you find out and then change your way working so that you keep records at least until then. It may be six months
    • no need to use @username just type. please fill out the sticky  as it asks  dx    
    • It was more the principle of this matter the customer has made no attempt to return the products purchased nor have I had no prof of anything & i have had to try & prove the sale which was paid for by the customers phone at the till. Only keep them till I check if the settlements tally up with the bank. Just think its a way of being scammed & the banks are helping them in a way

    • 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 realise this is somewhat off the usual CAG beat but here goes...

 

 

I received an email from someone who signed off P Smith. The email refers to "my wife".

 

 

I replied "Dear Mr Smith" and, to my absolute horror, got an email back saying I was presumptuous for assuming the writer was "Mr" as, in fact, the writer was "Mrs" and in a same sex relationship. Whoops! There was no indication in their email address as to whether P was for, say, Philip or Pandora. If it had been signed Pandora Smith I would have replied to Ms Smith. If it had be signed "P Smith (Mrs)" I would have replied to Mrs Smith.

 

 

How are people supposed to know guess that they are replying to someone who is in a same sex relationship? Does it mean that all correspondence (such as the above) should now be addressed to "Dear Sir / Madam"?

 

 

Thoughts appreciated...

What are the chances of such an insignificant mistake hitting the very few people in the country that would take such a disproportionate exception to it?

 

Lottery chances I say.

 

Back luck old fellow - Karma says you should buy yourself a lottery ticket tonight. A £10 win would balance the world back up again.

 

P.S. Soz if you are not an "old fellow". I hope you aren't too miffed by my presumptuousness. :wink:

You are probably right, it probably is lottery chances but she's having a crack at me for not guessing...and I don't know how to protect myself in future from exactly the same thing!

 

 

How am I -or anyone else -supposed to guess that someone with a "wife" is a woman - or that someone with a "husband" is a man? I try to move with the times and any advice that protects me from making the same mistake again would be much appreciated...as would how the heck do I apologise? My first response it that it is "presumptuous" to assume that I would know...but I don't want to fan the fire...

Just address it in the same manner they signed it.

 

EG Dear P Smith

 

Personally "as a gay" I would not get offended. This sounds like someone who is laying traps for you to fall into.

Sound advice. Thank you. I believe you are right, if she was not trying to lay traps she would have signed off in a transparent and honest way. I feel sad for her feeling as she does but quite frightened for my livelihood...whatever I say will, no doubt, be twisted in some way.
