    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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 Everyone,

 

I've been having an ongoing issue with my Vodafone mobile service for over 2 weeks now. Having a quick glance at these forums Vodafone seem to feature quite a bit which doesn't fill me with hope.

 

I originally requested to port my number from Orange to Vodafone pay and go - originally scheduled to go through on the 10th but actually went through on the 11th. On the 11th my old orange sim lost all signal and new vodafone PAYG sim could make and receive calls/texts showing my orange number - so the port did go through. Since that date though I have been unable to use any internet data. I have been on the phone to customer services almost every day since then, being passed from one team to another with nobody having any real idea of what is going on. I've been through APN settings, they've tried pushing through the port again, been told the APN settings need to be reflected on the vodafone system - still no data! The problem seems to be deeper than just no internet, whenever I give the advisor my number I cannot be found on the vodafone system even though I'm currently using their services!

 

Every advisor I speak to tells me to wait another 24-48 hours and promise me that this time my problems will be resolved as they have been escalated to the porting team/fault desk/manager. I must have had about 7 escalations now. Unfortunately they never are fixed and to this date have recieved no call back from customer services at any point!

 

The level of service has been shocking. I am often hung up on as I'm passed between departments every day - nobody taking responsibility or initiative to solve the problem. I never receive my promised callbacks - about 4/5 to date. They seem to deal with faults by sending e-mails instead of physically talking to anyone and I am unable to get through to anyone to make any formal complaint.

 

I have requested my PAC code to leave but am told this is also unavailable to be generated as I'm not in the system. I have now looked into Ofcom regulations for porting and PAC codes. Porting should be fully completed within 2 days and a PAC generated within 2 hours of the customer requesting it. I asked to make a formal complaint today and was told I was unable to do so until the 8 week point and advises I have to wait another 6 weeks to do so. I am not willing to go without data services for this length of time - I feel that 2 weeks is more than an adequate amount of time for Vodafone to have dealt with this issue.

 

I've now been through multiple outlets to try and solve this issue - in store, on the phone, the e-forum and e-mail. No success so far.

 

Any advice on how to take this further and deal with what has been a frankly very disappointing and poor service from a leading mobile provider.

 

Cheers,

 

Cameron

Hi Lee,

 

Was still waiting to hear back from you about compensation for the delayed port, any word on this yet? Also realised i had some credit on the account which hasn't transferred over with the port - was wondering if you would be able to restore this for me too as I leave for holiday tomorrow and would be good to have some credit on the account.

 

Cheers,

 

Cameron

Hi Lee,

 

Sorry to bother you again and thank you for all your help so far but my voicemail service doesn't seem to be functioning correctly. Whenever I call 121 it just hangs up - same if I call 1211. Have been on the phone to customer services and they couldn't seem to see any problem with it. Just wondering if it could be related to the porting issue?

 

Cheers,

 

Cameron

Hi Lee,

 

After all the hassle I had trying to port this number in fully I was still left without voicemail services. Tried to resolve this with customer services for about a month, again being told every time it would be solved within 48 hours. As before this was never the case and I ended up missing a lot of important messages. So I decided to port my number out to EE. On the port date my number I wanted to port was showing when making calls from my EE sim card. However all my incoming calls and texts are still received to my old Voda sim card from which I can make calls and texts too - I appear to be completely active on the Vodafone system. Naturally I have raised this with EE and it is now with their executive office. Their head of porting has informed me they are still waiting on a number of files to be transferred from Vodafone to fully port in my number. This has been escalated to the Vodafone porting team a number of times over the last month (almost daily) but the files have still not been transferred. Again have tried to speak to Vodafone customer services about it but they are truly useless in being able to help at all.

 

I would be very grateful if you could look into this for me and identify the issue that the Vodafone porting team are experiencing.

 

Kind Regards,

I am having the same issue with porting. Gave my pac on June 30th wasn't meant to be ported from o2 the next day and 9 days on I can only make calls nothing else. Been phoning vodafone everyday and being told will be sorted out Iver 24 hours. Passed to department to department been cut off many times. No one ever phones me back as promised. Been told different things like files not transfered properly, account not set up properly, porting was cancelled, porting request still open. Even been told that I have lied by one agent. Tried to complain but am told there is no complaints department. At the end of my tether. Have already contacted ofcom.

Hello Lee,

 

 

Apologies for hijacking the thread but I have tried contacting Vodafone via all possible means of contact and so far I was ignored every time.

 

 

My name is Tom

I have a few serious, ongoing issues with Vodafone which still remain unresolved.

One from as far as February 2014, when Vodafone damaged my handset via their remote desktop assistance and forced me into a new contract after denying I was entitled to replacement handset (although my handset was insured with Vodafone)

And a more recent one with regards to my unusually high bill. I have tried contacting Vodafone customer services via Live Chat, where I was given email address to a gentleman called Nitin Pathak.

I have emailed Mr. Pathak a few times already but had no response whatsoever. I have messaged Vodafone Customer Service forum from the link I have received via Vodafone facebook page, also no reply.

I have kept all records of my chats and can prove that Vodafone has been responsible for the mistakes as their representative admitted it during my live chat with him.

However, I have written so many ghost messages and wasted so much time doing that, I would rather hear from you first if you are interested in looking into my outstanding disputes before going into more details.

My phone has just been disconnected due to unpaid, disputed bill. Instead of dealing with the dispute, Vodafone simply disconnected me.

My contract with Vodafone is coming to end in February 2016 and so far I am not at all motivated to sign a new contract.

I would appreciate if you or anyone from Vodafone could look into this.

Regards

Tom
