    • Interesting question regarding what Government accounts opposition parties have access to, before an General Election. From what I understand, Government department accounts that are published are always lagging behind and would not include some amounts which are classified as 'commercially sensitive'.  Therefore opposition parties and Parliamentrary select committees would not have access to accounts which contain real time up to date information. If a new Government have found £20 billion of spending liabilities they did not know about, this could be true, as £20 billion is not that much when you look at total Government expenditure. Government department are making decisions on spending all of the time and it could be the previous Government were planning tax changes and/or spending cuts to balance the books.  Jeremy Hunt has recently said that if the Tories had stayed in Government and held an Autumn budget, it would have been very difficult to cut taxes as some had wanted.

    • ok your WS is wrong. Paragraph 16 and 17 says  you did not contract with evri but this is not true - see below  Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (c)  Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency post 251 of occy thread - £844 lost    you should also add a paragraph on donough v Stevenson talking about the fact that even without contract there is still duty of care to goods and by failing to deliver this duty has been breached.   Make those changes and post it back up here and I'll check over things again

    • 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.

I joined xercise4less 25/9/14 - 1st payment £9.99 for 12 month contract.

I visited appox 6 times over 2 years.

 

Last payment made 25/05/16 and membership & direct debit cancelled on 26/5/16.

 

 

I was on a 30 day rolling contract.

Membership cancelled due to ill health HHT

I was advised no strenuous activity.

Overall I was happy with the gym provisions but occasionally I was put off by a male cleaner in the women's only area, though I just managed this.

 

1st letter from Harlands

- 3/6/16 unable to collect June instalment due to DD being cancelled; will charge £25:00 admin fee = £34.99 owed due to not contacting them. I had tried on 6/6 & 13 & 14/6/16 but line constantly busy.

 

Eventually I spoke with someone at Harlands and they said they couldn't help as they are a third party and to speak with the Manager to say I was misinformed about the process!

 

I contacted the Manager at Xercise4less who informed me that my membership had not been cancelled and I needed a W number.

I told him that I received an e-mail on 26/5/16 confirming that my request to cancel was submitted to Harlands and it included my W number that had been provided to me by the gym who advised me to cancel.

 

 

He passed me on to the helpline who told me I owed for several months and administration fees because I cancelled my DD and I shouldn't have.

 

 

The membership cancellation form would not submit to Xercise4less without me ticking that I shouldn't cancel my DD not must not.

 

Letters received from CRS

- Credit Resolutions Services

- I contacted them and apparently they have nothing to do with cancellations and that I need to go through Harlands.

 

I contacted MRP Cancellations in August who, thanked me for my e-mail and said they were looking into my enquiry.

However could not locate my membership at first and requested further details, which I forwarded!

 

 

When they finally did I received an e-mail from ICS Customer Service saying we have no input onto cancellations, it is not our fault your membership is not cancelled .

 

I've now received a letter from CRS threatening 2 courses of action

1. Legal Action and

2. Outsourcing the debt to another company. Apparently I owe £171.47.

 

What do I do?

I've contacted head office for xercise4less, Harlands, the support ine, head of cancellations, CRS. I am so confused.

 

I've spent so much time on this I feel I should be charging them as its time away from working on gaining another work contract. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Thanks for your advice, it just feels weird ignoring what appears to be very official letters. I guess I just wait then. I'll keep CAG updated. I have friends and relatives who are having similar problems and some have just paid a settlement to stop the letters usually fifty pounds.

 

Thanks Again

Hi Determind and welcome to CAG

 

Firstly, Harlands/CRS have no authority and they cannot compel you to do what they say. They will not affect your CRA file and they do not generally take court action.

 

Regardless of the health issue, you had to give a month's notice when cancelling.

 

If you gave notice to cancel on 26/5/16, you should have made the final pay't you owed on or around 25/6/16.

 

There are many example letters here that you could use but this one here will do the job for you - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?445378-Harlands-Xercise4less&p=4732307&viewfull=1#post4732307

 

Adapt it to reflect your own case but keep it as short and simple as possible.

 

Send your letter to Harlands (not CRS) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the PO when you send it.

 

Do NOT even think of responding to Harlands/CRS demands for you to call them. They're a bunch of chancers and, once you've offered to pay them what you owe, you need do no more (because they're too greedy to accept your reasonable offer).

 

If you want to put your draft letter here for checking before you send it, please do so and I'll check it later.
