    • Actually there wasn't a massive amount of work to do on the WS.  The "meat" was there because of the great work you'd already done. Here is a version which I think is nigh-on finished. However, with Easter there are a few days for the other regulars to suggest tweaks. Defendant WS.pdf
    • Hi all, We bought a part to fix our washing machine approx 13 months ago direct from the manufacturer of the washing machine via phone. This part then failed 13 months later, as confirmed by their own engineer, who was sent by the manufacturer (who is also the retailer for the part) FoC. The engineer actually installed a replacement part, the machine came back to life, but they then removed the part used for testing (and ours reinstalled) as "we would be charged for it". The retailer are refusing to replace the part, stating that they only warranty parts for 90 days. When I stated that I believed the Consumer Rights Act gives me longer than that, they insinuated that it did not, and this was repeated by many representatives. AIUI for goods bought more than 6 months ago, I need to get an engineers report to confirm the part has failed? Or that it has failed due to manufacturing issues? Or would the companies own engineers report suffice? Also, does anyone have any other decent contact details for Hotpoint (or the Whirlpool group)? Thanks, GH
    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.  
    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.

    • 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.

So keeping a long story short I was declared bankrupt in April 2011 and discharged in October 2011. Part of the bankruptcy incorporated my Natwesticon bank account and loans.

 

Moving forward I was contacted by Natwest in 2014 regarding the mis-sellingicon of PPI and eventually they awarded me money as a compensation settlement. As I had been declared bankrupt I contacted both Natwest and the Insolvency Service (Birmingham Office who dealt with my case) and was told that between the two of them they would sort the situation out and I guessed that the money would go towards those companies who had been owed money when I filed for bankruptcy.

 

Jumping forward again I am having problems with my local council which led to me having to contact Natwest and that in turn has led to the revelation that I have an active account with the bank.

 

I therefore went into my local branch today and after some investigation I was told that I do indeed have an account and that there is a little over £4600 in it, they also told me that the account was frozen, most likely due to being inactive since March 2014. They gave me a printout of the balance which shows that the account has been open since at least October 2008 which is obviously over two years before my bankruptcy took place.

 

The best I can figure is that it is my old Natwest account and that the money in it is the compensation that I was given in 2014 for the PPI mis-selling, this ties in as the money was deposited into the account in March 2014. This of course is surprising to me as I was under the impression that the insolvency team would have contacted the bank and taken the money, I did after all let both parties know of the situation when the compensation was paid to me.

 

So anyway the bank have advised me to contact the insolvency people and find out why they have not claimed the money, they have also made a note of the conversation I had with them today in order to back up my claim that I was not aware of this money and had not been keeping it secret from the insolvency people.

 

I have tried to call the insolvency office today but just got through to a voicemail so I didnt leave a message as obviously al of the above is not the easiest to leave a message about.

 

I will of course try calling them again in the morning but thought I would run this by you guys in the meantime for advise as to why this has happened and where do I stand? Now obviously it would be very nice to stumble across over £4000 that I didnt know I had but Im assuming that even now almost 5 years after being declared bankrupt that the money will be going to the insolvency office, im just at a loss as to why they never claimed it in the first place.

Natwest contacted me in 2014 regarding ppi and i just completed the form, I'd never even considered making a claim.

 

Once they paid out i looked it up and realised that the money was not meant to be kept by me and that's why i contacted both natwest and the insolvency office and left it in their hands.

 

Jump forward two years and here we are with the money still sat there in my name

Can you not drop your IP an email silentmovieman as a matter of urgency as its effecting your benefits I assume with your referring to the Council ?

 

If you've been discharged from bankruptcy, this doesn't change the situation. The official receiver or trustee still owns the right to claim and any money that results from a claim, unless they've agreed to transfer the right back to you.

Well that's a sucky way to start the day . Got hold of the OR and they are going to write to natwest for the cash .

 

I know it should have been done a long time ago but still get the old hopes up when something like this falls in your lap out of the blue.

  • 1 year later...

As previously stated I was declared bankrupt in April 2011 and discharged in October of the same year.

 

Obviously we have passed the six year threshold now so my bankruptcy does not appear on my credit file anymore.

 

This is all good but I am looking to move my family back home and as we rent we are having to complete the necessary forms as we have found a property we want to move into. There is one issue with this in that the form asks whether I have had any ccjs, bankruptcys etc.

 

I believe I am right in saying that if I was applying for a mortgage that I would have to declare a former bankruptcy regardless of how long ago it took place. Is this right and do I have to do the same for the letting agent?

 

I'm asking because if the answer is yes then I'd imagine that its highly unlikely that any letting agent is going to give us the greenlight due to the former bankruptcy even though it is no longer on my credit file.

 

Any advice on this matter is greatly appreciated.

 

*I did try to start a new thread regarding this but the site kept throwing me round in a loop so I was unable to do so.
