    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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, long time no speak, but nice to be back :)

 

Here is my rant about this company: http://www.djhenry.co.uk/

 

I have been trying to get the direct email for the CEO, so if anyone can help, that would be great.

 

Here is basically the treatment I have recieved from them.

 

April 2014, I bought a top range laptop (over £1400). This was manufactured by MSI, and came with a 15 month warranty.

 

Unfortunately, my little boy decided that my laptop may like some of his curry that he was eating for dinner. Ir turned out that it didn't like curry so decided to keep restarting with a a Driver Power State Failure. I was not covered for accidents but I still contacted MSI because I didn't want to use an unauthorised dealer and ruin the warranty. They in turn got http://www.djhenry.co.uk/ to contact me to arrange a pick up and repair.

 

After they had it for a couple of days, they got back to me with a quote for repair:-

 

New keyboard (necessary) £123 + Vat.

Mainboard (signs of liquid damage, but still working) £460(ish) + Vat

Handling & Shipping £62.00

 

I decided to just pay for the new keyboard and shipping and handling, as that made the laptop fully functional.

 

After a couple of weeks using the laptop, the same fault occured, so I went through the same process again. I had resigned myself to the fact I would now need a new mainboard. The price scared me but there was no other option. Again, MSI contracted http://www.djhenry.co.uk/ to arrange pick up and repair.

 

I have now recieved a quote from them for the repair:-

New Keyboard (necessary) £77.42 + Vat.

Mainboard (Necessary) £404.65 + Vat.

Labour & Handling £58.33 + Vat.

 

If I don't want any repairs taken out, then it will be £50 inc Vat for shipping & handling.

 

Concerned (as anyone would be), I gave them a call. After speaking to an advisor, he confirmed that there was liquid damage, and they were the necessary repairs needed. I explained that I had recently had the keyboard replaced. He hesitated for a bit before realising that I had already paid for a new keyboard (still within their own 3 month warranty deadline). He then put me on hold for about 20 minutes while he spoke to someone else. After getting back to me, he smugly told me that I would have to pay AGAIN for a new keyboard. I took this as an insult as he was basically saying that I had been stupid enough to let more liquid get into the laptop by spilling something on it again.

 

This tells me that when they repaired it last time, and replaced the keyboard, they never even bothered to clean the inside of it. Otherwise, there would be nothing wrong with the new keyboard, and the main board would be the only thing needing replacing. I can't believe that MSI would use a company like this who don't even clean electrical items they recieve to be repaired. I am drafting a nice email for MSI regarding this matter, but that doesn't get my laptop back for me. I have told them I will be taking the matter to small claims, but will do that after I get some feedback form here and other avenues. I know consumer law, and I know these are wrong. They could have taken the £400+ for the new mainboard, and I would have left it at that. But they decided to go all in for the kill (rip off), and charge me twice for something.

 

The mistake I made was not taking the name of the operator I spoke to who rudely put the phone down on me for saying one expletive word. The word wasn't even directed at him. I basically said 'I am not paying for another F*****g keyboard (oops). Not a hang up offence in my books. He just used that as an easy excuse to end the argument he was clearly losing. I also questioned how the prices differ so much from the first quote for repairs a couple of months before to now. All for the same items.

 

I have an idea of what my next move will be, but would appreciate some feedback form you lot. I will be sending http://www.djhenry.co.uk/ the link to this thread, so if anyone needs to tell me something they don't need to know, then just PM me.

 

Thanks in advance guys.

I don't understand what exactly you would sue them for? they have done nothing to your computer except, change the keyboard; I expect they did not even touch the main board! so if it had damage and you told them not to change it they would have just left it alone. ( I would ). Now if you had asked them to clean it up and make sure all the water or whatever was cleaned out and working ok, you might have a point.

They say they need to change the keyboard again as part of the overall repair, which as you say you don't want to pay for, so it is up to you.

get your computer back and go somewhere else?

I don't think you have a case but good luck if you want to go that route.

Putting a new keyboard into a laptop that was still full of liquid is NOT the thing to do. They explained that it passed all MSI tests, and was good to go. If they had have replaced the main board, would they too have put that in leaving all the liquid inside. I don't think so. I can't go elsewhere, as that would void my warranty. As I said. They said it was clean when it came back to me, and I have since managed to spill something else on it. That, I have not done.

Hi SOD'EM

 

How did you pay for the laptop originally?

How did you pay for the repair?

 

They should have cleaned up the liquid as that has now damaged the new keyboard. They charged £123 + V.A.T. now they want £77 + V.A.T., costs of keyboard is an issue. Also handling & delivery is less.

The main board was stated as £460 compaired to £404 now.

 

New keyboard (necessary) £123 + Vat.

Mainboard (signs of liquid damage, but still working) £460(ish) + Vat

Handling & Shipping £62.00

 

The Goods & Services Act 1982 applies.

Also contact the CEO of MSI explaing your experience and ask the question, why are they refering customers to D & J Henry Ltd.

Thanks for your reply rebel11.

 

I paid for the laptop through Paypal, and I paid for the original repair using my debit card. I don't own a credit card:doh:

The Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 means that consumers who enter into a contract for goods and services can expect these to be supplied with reasonable care and skill.

 

Putting a new keyboard into a laptop still with liquid in it, is not in my book reasonable care and skill.

 

 

 

Says it all really.

It's a long shot but speak to your Card Providing ask to carry out a Chargeback on the original repair, explain what's happened, there is a template that you can send as a follow up, send it Recorded Delivery:-

Communicate with all parties via email / letters so you have a paper trail.

They have not repaired my laptop with reasonable care or skill. This has caused the brand new keyboard to be damaged again. I have told them that I am willing to pay for a new mainboard, but not another keyboard. It is less than three months old since they replaced it, so is still in their own warranty period. I have not spilled anything on it since the repair, and they can try and prove otherwise. They told me that the mainboard may fail in the future, and I accepted that. If they had told me that they were leaving the liquid in the laptop, and just putting a keyboard on, I would not have authorised the repair. They haven't got a leg to stand on regarding a second replacement keyboard. That, I do know.

Finally got the reply I was expecting.

Good afternoon,

 

I can only apologise that you are not happy with the service you have received, I understand how frustrating this must be for you.

 

I have spoken to an engineer who has advised that the keyboard had some minor staining underneath but still works correctly. This has now been cleaned off. You should not have been quoted for a second keyboard; a member of staff in training raised the quotation incorrectly.

 

As goodwill, we are willing to remove the shipping, handling and labour costs from your quotation meaning the cost to replace the motherboard would now be £485.58 (inc VAT) instead of £555.58 (inc VAT).

 

I am unsure where the confusion has arisen regarding the two quotes - please see attached the two quotations that were sent to you. Both quotations show exactly the same amounts for parts, labour and return unrepaired fees.

 

Additionally, I am sorry that you feel your expletive was not a good enough reason for the advisor to end the call, but our advisors are all told that they do not have to tolerate abusive or threatening language, and if experienced they have every right to terminate the phone call.

 

Once again, I can only apologise for the frustration and incovenience this has caused you, but I hope you will accept our offer of goodwill.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Rosie Jones

Customer Services Manager

 

 

RESULT!
