    • then the who thing cannot have anything to do with paypal then, they cant be involved at all. chargeback fee? from whom never heard of that one either. ebay/paypal must have changed their T&C's again then since the demise of brexit and EU agreements. i can only assume he paid paypal, who acted solely a payment intermediary, to buy your trainers from ebay. and ebay added a £14 processing fee? thats unlawful hence their refund. i dont think there is anything you can do here sadly. classic ebay scam that goes back +30yrs. just now rejigged for the 22nd century.  typically it only resulted in an unenforceable paypal balance that you simply walked away from... but now ebay has obviously tightened up on losing out to these scammers and added an unlawful fee to scrap some of their historic losses back.      
    • Apologies, I am still getting used to the site. Understood, ill have a read and come back if I have any other questions. Thanks 
    • I have done a separate letter and form for each of the 3 debts and kind of ignored the Vodafone one for now    Thanks 
    • please refrain from posting blocks of text...use sentences and line spacing .... i notice your 1st post had been spaced and ive done your last three.... this is not facebook....its a forum. ........... it does not matter how long BS takes i would cease payments now and a DCA is NOT A BAILIFF. they don't own your debts so can do NOTHING!! slow down and calm down , 4 post in 5 mins is no good. Debt management and Debt self-help - Consumer Action Group click the above link and go read a good 20+ thread in the above forum and all your questions will be answered  if you have any outstanding  then please post with them later. everything is explain in numerous thread already here for you to understand at your own pace. there is not rush to do anything today or the next 10days bar simply stop paying. though as explained in my last post, whichever way you go not pay will equal a default which will trash your credit file for 6yrs so the quicker you stop the quicker they will vanish . dx

    • 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.

Hi guys,

 

My first post here and I'm just looking for a bit of advice.

 

 

I bought a pair of headphones last week from Dawsons as I thought I lost my other pair.

The other half found my pair that evening and I tried to return the new ones.

 

 

They were unused - still have the protective plastics etc on them and I had the receipt bag etc.

Dawsons refused to refund them for health and safety reasons as that is their policy on things like headphones, mics etc.

 

However,

when trying to return them the guy said they were a demo pair...

I was never made aware of this when I bought them.

 

 

The guy went and got the pair from the back store, not out of a display etc.

I was charged the full price of a brand new set.

 

 

The receipt does say DEMO pair on them but the guy put the receipt in the bag and I never checked.

I didn't even take the box out of the bag until I tried to return them

- there's also a sticker on the bottow of the box that says demo.

 

What are my rights regarding refund on these?

 

 

I was sold a demo pair as they were brand new and charged accordingly.

Surely it's a bit daft that they won't refund headphones for health and safety yet they can sell demo pairs as brand new even though they have been worn?

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Thanks for the reply Dx! Their T&Cs do say that there are no refunds. They offer credit but items such as microphones and headphones aren't part of this

Yeah CRA says that a refund is only a must for online purchases with the distance buying thing. If the item was faulty then they'd have to refund me but I've never used the item so I don't know. I don't even want to try them.

 

Any idea of where I'd stand with being sold a demo item as new?

Funnily enough, I am Irish haha...

 

But yeah that's my thinking. They can't refund for health and safety issues with headphones in case someone has worn them, yet they can sell worn headphones as new...
