    • An update! I emailed both Andrzej.Tuleja and James_Goldsmith at Whirlpool dot com. I got a phone call from their executive team a couple of days later, and a replacement part dropped on the mat a week after. She was quite apologetic, however, also reiterated the "90 day warranty" period on customer fitted parts, and did not comment when I mentioned that the CRA also applies as I was a consumer buying from them directly. So I now have a spare door switch if the machine decides to eat another in the future! Cheers all!   Note dx100 that the "Hotpoint CEO" you linked to is not related to the hotpoint appliances, but some kind of marketing app.

    • (See the link to DVLA’s INF188/6 document I posted above, page 4 as cited) “I have a new medical condition that I have told the DVLA about on my recent application. Can I drive? As soon as the DVLA receives your correct and complete application for a new licence and as long as you meet all the Section 88 criteria, you may drive. It is important that you are satisfied that the medical condition you have declared on your application does not stop you from driving. If you are unsure, check with your doctor or healthcare professional before you make a decision. You can also look up your condition in the ‘Assessing fitness to drive’ guide, which you can find at www.gov.uk/dvla/fitnesstodrive to see whether you meet the medical standards for driving. As this guide is intended for healthcare professionals, it can be complicated. Your doctor or healthcare professional should be able to help you if necessary." It seems that DVLA think that S.88 does apply for applications disclosing a new medical condition after all. Why might this be so, and what of “qualifying application" and "relevant disability"? S. 92(1) imposes on the driver a requirement to disclose a relevant disability. S.92(3) requires the Secretary of State to refuse such an application disclosing a relevant disability ….. EXCEPT S.92(4) requires the Secretary of State to grant such an application if the relevant disability is “adequately controlled”. Hence my belief S.88 can apply for medical conditions (if the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive) as the application remains a qualifying application IF the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive, until DVLA (on behalf of the Secretary of State) say it doesn’t, provided the driver believes they meet the (medical) standard. Additionally, at (or before) June 2013 (as noted in my previous post) the medical standard for fitness to drive for conditions involving excessive daytime sleepiness was changed from “completely controlled” to "adequately controlled".

    • 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.

Hello. This is my first time on here so please excuse me if I get anything wrong.

 

I would really appreciate any help when dealing with TalkTalk.

 

I have had trouble with the broadband service and started calling the fault department in March.

 

By July it was not resolved and so I made an official complaint on 4th July 2016.

I was told if this was not resolved in 28 days I could leave the contract without paying a penalty.

 

since that time, I have phoned them on several occasions and have spent many hours on the phone to them, only to get different replies from each of them.

If they charge me the penalty is £242 as my contract is supposed to run until November.

 

I very stupidly agreed to stay with them and change to fibre optic, but then quickly cancelled this (well within cool off period) as I have decided no matter how good a deal they are offering me I do not want to start a new contract with them.

 

they have not cancelled the fibre optic contract, even though I have called and been told the cancellation was logged on three occasions and refused delivery of the router.

 

They will not listen no matter what I say and I am also concerned that the agreement that I can leave my original contract from 2nd August 2016 will not be honoured.

 

I also think they are going to bill me for the engineer they sent to me, apparently on the phone to sort out my original broadband, but he turned up to solve fibre optic issues!!!

 

I have not received one email following conversations I have had, even when promised them and requesting details to get call records and when I went to their technical department to query this, they blamed my email provider. Funnily enough I have no problem getting there bill by email.

 

Who do I go to next please?

I'm totally exhausted with the whole thing after spending literally hours on the phone to them

 

. Some of the people I've spoken to have said I can go to a new provider after 2nd Aug and do not need to contact them as I will not be charged, but others have said that is not the case

 

! I do not trust them.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks.

Stop & Slow down please!

 

Firstly, keep EVERYTHING in writing ONLY, & keep a diary of events.

 

Lodge a formal complaint with them, in WRITING or EMAIL!

 

If you ever send these clowns anything in writing, then obtain 'proof of posting' which is free from the PO counter.

 

Once you have exhausted their so called ''complaints procedure'' then escalate it to OTELO, and/or the ombudsman.

 

If you have a DD set up, cancel it, if you have ever given them your card details, tell your bank that you're cancelling the CPA on it for them, (Continuous Payment Authorial).

 

Get making those complaints!

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!

Hi and welcome to CAG

 

Nowadays, you have no need to contact your existing provider if you wish to leave. The new company does it all for you including taking your phone number with you.

 

In this case however, I would be writing to them informing them that as they have failed in their contractual obligations you expect them to allow you to leave with no penalty and if they decide to bill you for termination charges, these will be disputed and if they place any defamatory information on your credit file, you may instigate legal action.

 

Absolutely keep a record of what this has cost you in time and effort as this could be included (not guaranteed) in court claim.

 

Have a look here to see if you can find email addresses for the top nobs (they are there)

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Thank you! Yes I am going to email all further correspondence and will keep the complaints going as the service is not improving.

Thank you for your help. I am going to email the CEO to get clarification that what I have been told by her company is correct and I can now move to another provider without penalty. Hopefully, if I get confirmation in writing from her, I will not then be charged.

 

Many thanks.
