    • Everyone knows the tories were hiding the costs - and even added 4 billion quid to the taxpayers high interest credit card to fund a chunk of the NI tax reduction - prime example - look at how much cost was hidden re the Rwanda dogwhistle -10 Billion quid     and re the handful of rebels on the benefit limit If the disasters (like the Rwanda rubbish) of Tory dogs being wagged by the extremist minority ERG tail doesn't highlight the issues ..

    • 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.

Hello. Could someone advise us please on the following problem?

 

We purchased an electric cooker from AO in April and only use it once a day. Today it started giving off an acrid electrical burning smell so we had to turn it off and disconnect it.

 

AO tried to pass the buck to the manufacturer when we initially contacted them but my wife argued the point that they are respnosible as they sold us the product.

 

What are their legal obligations on this and what rights do we have?

 

Any help would be fantastic.

 

Thnk you

 

TheLion.

AO are ultimately responsible for this correct.

 

It has nothing to do with you and the manufacturer, your complaint is between AO and yourselves.

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!

Pardon my ignorance but who are AO?

 

Anyway, the cooker has to be fit for its purpose and it sounds if it's not. The supplier of the cooker is responsible although it is often the practice for sellers to have some kind of arrangement with manufacturers so that the customer is encouraged to go directly to the manufacturer. However, this is a local arrangement and is not binding on customers.

 

What kind of cooker is it – meaning make model et cetera. Have you looked around the Internet to see if similar problems have occurred with this model?

 

Anything like this is potentially dangerous and so I would tell AO that they are absolutely responsible and that you want something done immediately – before Christmas or else you will report it to Trading Standards. From the sounds of it, I think that there is a risk that you may have no cooking apparatus over Christmas.

 

At the same time, (so that you get as many irons in the far as possible) I would also contact the manufacturer and complain to them. What you want is an urgent call out for somebody to come along and check it and to make sure it is okay or else to identify the fault and repair it. Both the supplier and the manufacturer are able to do this if they are prepared to show a bit of goodwill. Whether or not there is goodwill forthcoming at this particular Season, is another big question.

 

When you speak to people, you should record your calls. Read our customer services guide.

 

Please let us have the information that I have asked for above and also come back here after you have contacted both the supplier and the manufacturer on Monday and told us what they say.

Quick update.

 

After a heated discussion on Monday, a manager at Ao has agreed to send an engineer to have a look at the cooker on Wednesday. If the cooker cannot be repaired there and then, they have agreed to send out a next day delivery replacement.

 

Not heard anything about what time the engineer is coming out yet. Hopefully it all works out.

Update:

 

The Cooker has now been repaired. Following the engineer visit on Wednesday, during which he could not repair the cooker there and then, AO decided that they would rather send out a new part than replace the cooker.

 

This caused a lot of concern as the new part did not arrive until yesterday. Though thankfully it is now up and running for the festive season.

 

Thank you to everyone who replied to this thread. Have a great festive season and an even better New Year.

 

Regards

 

TheLion.

Had to post this up as I am absolutely fuming!!!

 

The oven on our repaired cooker went wrong again last Monday evening. I phoned AO and they tried to pass me off to New World again which I was not having. I stated that the last manager that my wife spoke to stated that if the cooker went wrong again they would replace it.

 

After numerous phone calls to AO I was informed on Wednesday that they would replace the cooker as New World wanted to repair it yet again!!! The guy I spoke to stated that the earliset that they could deliver was today and that we would have to get the cooker disconnected and then connect the new one.

 

Well we managed to get the cooker disconnected on Thursday evening as that was the ony day that the electrician was available to do it for us. Since then we have been living off microwave food and takeaways.

 

I decided to check the delivery status about thirty minutes ago and they have no record of any delivery for us for today!!! It looks like we have been completely mislead and now have to await a call back within the hour to see how they will resolve this farce!!!

 

AO are a complete and utter joke!!!
