    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in 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

 

My partner ordered some bridesmaid dresses from an in-store catalogue,

yesterday she went to collect the dresses which were delivered to store.

 

 

One arriving home and opening the box she noticed she has been sent the wrong colour.

BHS have admitted fault on this and have asked her to return them.

 

However they are refusing to exchange only refund.

The dresses were 20% off when she ordered,

they say they will honour this but only if she re-orders today.

 

 

Considering the cost of the dresses she does not want to re-order until she has received her refund.

 

Does anyone have any advice?

 

 

Is there any case for making them exchange considering it is their fault?

 

Thanks in advance.

Personally, if they have messed up once, then why give them a second chance?

 

I would return the items, get the refund, and then vote with my feet and go elsewhere, they're trying to make you dance to their tune,

well I wouldn't let them make demands on me as it is their mistake.

 

Classic arrogance if you ask me!

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

How so?

The OP notes they sent the wrong colour.

 

So, the correct colour had been stated as part of the order, and became part of a "sale by description".

 

They weren't as described, so OP is entitled to a refund.

 

On what basis do you feel the retailer is entitled to repair them?

 

Even if the retailer had the right to "repair", and I doubt they do for the reason stated ; How exactly do you feel the retailer could "repair" them?? Dying them?

 

The OP can insist on a refund.

 

However, the OP wants to insist on an exchange. I'm not sure they can insist on an exchange.

What they could do is ask for an exchange, and if the retailer declines note that they will instead:

a) get the refund

b) re-order (either with the retailer, or elsewhere, at the best price they can obtain, so as to "mitigate their loss"), THEN

c) go after the retailer for their loss (if they end up paying more, having lost the 20% discount), for "loss of bargain"

 

The refund would be under the Sale of goods (and Supply if Services) Legislation, with the recovery of the extra paid out as an action for damages for breach of contract (in order to "(as far as possible), put the claimant in the position they would have been in, had the contract been completed"

RTFQ, they ARE giving the OP a refund, what they decline to do is an exchange.

 

Absolutely.

 

1) talk of a repair is a "red herring"

 

2) The OP can't make them do the exchange, but can still end up paying only the original price by recovering any extra cost. See my post above.

I do believe DX was just making a general statement.

They either have the choice to repair, replace, or refund, and this time they have gone with refund.

 

Hopefully the OP will come back and let us know what they decided, hopefully taking the refund and kicking these in to touch and going elsewhere...

The general statement "they" (meaning the retailer) "have the choice to either repair, replace, or refund" is incorrect.

 

If the item was sold by description (e.g. "I want that particular colour"), then if it doesn't meet that description, the purchaser doesn't have to accept repair or exchange. The purchaser can insist on a refund, and doesn't have to accept repair or replacement.

 

As it happens, here the purchaser wants an exchange. They wouldn't have to accept an exchange if they didn't want it, but COULD chose to, IF the retailer offered it.

 

OP can force the retailer to refund, but can't force them to exchange. If the refund later leaves the OP out of pocket for buying goods to the original specification elsewhere, they have grounds for an action to recover their (mitigated!) losses due to breach of contract.

 

Retailer can't make the OP accept repair (or for that matter exchange).

 

If the retailer chose to agree an exchange, OP can choose to accept it, if it is what they want. Retailer doesn't have to offer an exchange if they don't want to, purchaser doesn't have to accept it IF it is offered.
