    • Hi, I have the Sims 4 on Macbook. Over the last year I have paid for multiple add on packs spending a lot of money on them. I bought them all in good faith as my Mac met all the minimum requirements to play them. I have been playing happily for about a year and bought my latest pack just over a week ago. The games were all working fine yesterday. Then suddenly today EA released a new app to launch the games and this new app requires a MAC OS that my computer cannot use. Now suddenly none of my games are accessible and I am unable to play anything. They did not warn us about this change in requirements and if I had known they would be doing this I wouldn't have bought all these add ons as they are now all totally unusable. The games themselves have not changed, only their app to launch them and I can't afford to buy a brand new mac just to play. So my question is how can they change the minimum requirements after I have paid for a game? I agreed to pay for them based on the fact my mac met their requirements and was not informed when purchasing that this would be an issue in the future. I understand new games (like Sims 5 which is to be released next year) might not be compatible but this is a 10yr old game that they have suddenly made inaccessible due to their new launch app. Does anybody know if I can do anything or anyway to get a partial refund from them? Thanks   Here are their T&C... I can't find anything in there about them being able to do this so not sure what to do https://tos.ea.com/legalapp/WEBTERMS/US/en/PC/
    • OK. Thank you all for the input.  I'll ignore their letters of demand but NEVER ignore a letter of claim. I'm bracing myself for the stress as their demands £££ goes up and the case gets sent to debt collectors. 
    • OK.  It was worth a try. Their case is still pants and they have broken their own Code of Practice numerous times.
    • @BankFodder sorry for the delay and thank you for the lengthy reply. Yes, I agree. It's a small business and the guy is very very decent. I know someone else said my priority shouldn't be worrying whether he gets shafted but I'm not here to try and screw him over because I feel like if someone behaves decently and gets exploited, they might not behave so kindly in the future. I know DX mentioned he thinks I've caused the issue by leaving multiple instructions, but I have already explained why and both instructions were to leave it with a neighbour and there was nothing advising the driver to abandon the parcel on my doorstep. I don't think leaving it there could be considered a safe place.  I am still waiting on the retailer to respond. Ultimately, I wanted to know how he would proceed if DPD's response isn't favourable. I am certainly not looking to cause any problems. I just want my laptop. I will read the other posts for sure. I've been a bit preoccupied with family stuff. I have nothing in writing from DPD as I phoned them, but they did advise it should be the retailer that liaises with them. I tried contacting the driver straight after deliver via Whatsapp, as that's an option, but it said I couldn't send him a message and I have kept that log. We all know who took the parcel on our street, because that person has a history of parcel theft, but I don't have a doorbell camera or cctv. Police are refusing to intervene, despite the fact that I, along with several other people, spotted another's neighbour's parcel in said "suspect's" car and confronted her to get the parcel back. If the police had acted sooner, I might have had a better chance of getting the parcel back, but I suspect the laptop has long been sold on.  When the retailer responds, I will send him the link to this thread. Hopefully, he will benefit from the information on here as well.
    • @dx100uk none of the instructions advised them to leave the parcel on my door step and without such instructions., I'm struggling to see why they think it's ok to just dump it there.

    • 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.

Been looking at the title register again to dx in their reply and where they’ve scribbled on it. Scribbling which is not on my official copy I hasten to add

 

Does it look to you that they are trying to make out no3 and no 4 belong to them?

 

Cos 3 certainly doesn’t. I had old ppi with Lloyds. Claimed but they didn’t take the money off the debt they sold to link shortly after. Thus loan was from 2001 and link have never provided cca since requesting in 2006. Neither has their name been substituted on there

In a repo case. Yes. But hopefully there will be no repo.

 

Surely the ir has it to come into it somewhere now as the judge ordered the counterclaim due to them keeping the Ppi cash and that’s got something to do with all?

 

All the previous can’t be left open can it?

As if that’s the case I’ll be back in court won’t I?

 

Plus he requested statements from them

 

Mind you I can prove the last one was a forced rewrite for same amount as the one befores settlement figure then they lumped more Ppi on.

 

And that’s on what they’ve given the court

doesn't work that way

 

this is a repo clam...

 

unless the judge has invited chapter and verse

for the moment you need or VERY limit your your reply to EXACTLY what the judge asked.

the more you entertain their diversion and confusion

the more your case enters into their hands

 

it is worthy to go read again ALL andyorch's recent posts..

forget their obv errors [its done on purpose!!] focus solely upon what YOU have been directed by the judge to do.

 

you are seriously going off track..........

Ok will look through Andy’s post.

 

I just find it confusing that the Loan they are trying for repo on is as a result of all the rewrites and I thought if we prove the one was unfair then the rest had to be.

 

For mortgages which are regulated by the Consumer Credit Act the defendant can also state in questions 5 and 6 whether they want the court to examine the fairness of the mortgage agreement or to consider making an order extending the term of the agreement.

Everything the judge has asked.

 

I’ve done.

I’ve heard nothing from the court yet to say whether I have to do a witness statement for next hearing.

I’m at limbo on how to prepare and what the judge is likely to ask or want from me on that day

Pending the implementation of the new rules that will apply as a result of the MCD, firms which take second charges as security should have registered for interim permission under the consumer credit regime, and new entrants to the second charge market (who do not hold a CCA licence and cannot get an interim permission) must apply for a full consumer credit permission.

Agreements that are covered by the FCA's consumer credit regime are subject to detailed prescriptive regulation. Rules apply to the drafting of the agreements and to the substance of the pre- and post-contract information. Firms authorised to provide consumer credit must take care to ensure that they comply with these rules as well as ensuring that the activities they undertake fall squarely within their FCA permission. The consequences of failing to comply areonerous. A Court may apply its powers to re-open a credit agreement where it considers that the terms create an unfair relationship between the lender and the borrower and may change the terms (including the amounts payable

The more I’m reading the more I’m getting confused. I’ve just read that

15.8 If a claimant files a reply to the defence, the claimant must

(a) file the reply with a directions questionnaire; and

(b) serve the reply on the other parties at the same time as it is filed.

 

Not had one of those

Or I don’t think any one told me to send a cpr 31.14 to solictors when first claim was issued this time last year.

 

All I have done throughout is Request the same info of prime and not got it. Until I filed my defence then they provided it.

 

Is this a problem
