    • if the agreement was taken out jan 23, then she has not reached the 1/3rd mark so the car has not become protected goods under the consumer credit act.  this puts her in a very very vulnerable position regarding ever keeping the car....whereby once they have issued a default notice they can legally send a guy with a flatbed (though they are NOT BAILIFFS and have ZERO legal powers) to collect the car.  if the car is kept on the public highway then they can simply take it away and she will legally owe the whole stated amount on the agreement AND lose the car. if it's on private property i'e like a driveway, ok they shouldn't take it without her agreeing, but if they do, it's not really on but its better than a court case and an inevitable loss with the granting a return of goods order. are these 'health reasons' likely to resolve themselves in the very short term (like a couple of months?) and can she immediately begin working again ? i'e has she got a job or would have to find one?  answer the above and we'll try and help. but she looks to be between rock and a hard place . whatever happens she will still have to pay the loan off...car or no car....unless you can appeal to the finance company's better nature using health reasons to back off for xxx months.
    • no need to use it. it doubles the size of the thread and makes it very diff to find replies on small screens too. just like @username it - sends unnecessary alerts to people. everyone that's posted on your thread already inc you ...gets an automatic email alert when someone else posts.
    • Hello all,   I ordered a laptop online about 16 months ago. The laptop was faulty and I was supposed to send it back within guarantee but didn't for various reasons. I contacted the company a few months later and they said they will still fix it for me free of charge but I'd have to pay to send it to them and they will pay to send it back to me. The parcel arrived there fine. Company had fixed it and they sent it via dpd. I was working in the office so I asked my neighbours who would be in, as there's been a history of parcel thefts on our street. I had 2 neighbours who offered but when I went to update delivery instructions, their door number wasn't on the drop down despite sharing the same post code.  I then selected a neighbour who I thought would likely be in and also selected other in the safe place selection and put the number of the neighbour who I knew would definitely be in and they left my parcel outside and the parcel was stolen. DPD didn't want to deal with me and said I need to speak to the retailer. The retailer said DPD have special instructions from them not to leave a parcel outside unless specified by a customer. The retailer then said they could see my instructions said leave in a safe space but I have no porch. My front door just opens onto the road and the driver made no attempt to conceal it.  Anyway, I would like to know if I have rights here because the delivery wasn't for an item that I just bought. It was initially delivered but stopped working within the warranty period and they agreed to fix it for free.  Appreciate your help 🙏🏼   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.

I have a raft of issues I could do with some genuine advice on.

 

 

I recently turned down a job that I was offered as I was led to believe by the agency who were representing me had obtained me a better job on a higher income and that the better job would accommodate my university start dates.

 

 

I was advised I would start on 19k a year with a company car phone equipment etc.

 

 

I have now been in the company doing the job for over a month, not been paid, had to pay out of my own pocket to travel to company appointments that I have to arrange, at the interview I agreed to cover Yorkshire and the north west area.

 

 

this has since proven to not be the case and I fact appear to be asked to cover the entire country, they cause deliberate delays in reimbursing me my own money back.

 

 

I have had repeated issues with booking days of and been contacted upto 9.15 pm at night by the company trying to force me into contacting people back.

 

 

it has transpired the job they wanted me to sell was that of a log book loan, I have now advised them by email I do not want to work for them any longer, no contract has been forthcoming from them let alone money owed back to me, but because they gave me all the equipment I assumed it wouldn't be a problem.

 

 

they have advised me to put petrol in the car to travel back to the office which isn't local to me by any stretch.

 

 

and to pay to file the legal documents or what they call a bill of sale document again out of my own pocket.

 

 

I have explained quite clearly I do not work for the company in my email, they accused me of failing to follow company procedure, yet I have never even had any kind of contract or procedure book given to me.

 

 

I am now at an impass where I have advised them to pay me what they owe me including the expenses and wages or I will seek legal recourse for unlawful withholding, and they can then come and pick up all of the equipment from my private land or property.

 

 

I have advised if they fail to respond I will treat the property as abandoned on my property and dispose of it accordingly.

 

 

please can someone advise on where I stand with this what I should be doing etc

who is your employer, the agency or the company?

 

when were wages due? It isn't month end yet.... and why woukd you be booking days off so soon into the contract?

 

I don't think you are at am impass so soon in.

 

1. find out what day payday is

2. stop threatening things you don't understand the legalities of with the car - that makes you look stupid and erodes the value of future action you may take

3. write a letter outlining what you are owed, and explaining you need it in order to be able to buy petrol to return the car

4. report back

Ok.. I have now read the rest of the threads you have started. You seem to get into trouble with everyone and then start waving around the names of laws you know nothing about.

 

Either you are a bored law student testing us out after a few shandies (seems likely given the timing of the posts) , or you need to try and get along with people a little bit more!

Can we please keep this civil....I really don't want to have to moderate the thread.

 

starlord, judging by your other threads you seem to have had an incredible amount of bad luck, the amount of which is probably the reason why some folks are sceptical.

 

All I would ask is that for contributors to respond in a positive and supportive manner and for the OP to respond in a positive way as well. That way people may be ablke to get to the bottom of all of this.

 

The Site Team will monitor these threads.

 

Thanks. :-)

They aren't contacting you : they are replying to a public thread that others can read.

 

If you don't want to read replies that disagree with you

1) don't read them, or

2) note in your original post that you only want replies that agree with you.

 

Alternatively, if you feel a post breaches CAG guidelines : hit "report post"

I note the site team (of which I am NOT a member) have already looked in .......

 

 

If a post meets CAG guidelines, you can't say "don't post".

If you want that degree of control, set up your own site.

 

Emmzzi can be brusque (mind you, so can I!) but I've yet to see them be factually wrong. Your opinion may vary from theirs : if they breach guidelines report it, otherwise accept that that is the price you pay for

a) free advice

b) on a public site

Sometimes you get to hear other than what you want to hear.
