    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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,

 

I ordered built in wardrobes and some shelves for the existing wardrobes.

 

 

After 6 weeks two gentlemen appeared and installed some of the items in awful quality,

the shelves are not in line,

pencil markings everywhere,

dents to the existing wardrobes, etc.

 

 

Along with that they ruined my cream carpets

(I moved into a brand new house a 2 months ago! carpets are still in majority covered by the protective plastic layer, but everything around is now grey.

In addition they put one of the wardrobes on top of the plastic !),

stained the walls and ceiling.

 

 

At the very end they started the installation of the doors to the wardrobes and these were of even worse quality and were damaged, so they took them off and disappeared.

 

 

I contacted the company and send the photos.

 

 

In response i was rudely told that nothing will be done to rectify my brand new house and if I want my doors I need to pay the last instalment.

Is there anything I can do?

big company of a small local outfit?

 

If the latter suing them will be easy but getting any compensation less likely as they will just do a runner.

 

How did you pay for the goods/work?

you may have a claim against the card issuer to at least get your money back and if a credit card the whole value of the goods/service.

 

Unfortunately that wont cover the damage done to your property

Yes, but I really need the works to be finished and house look normal again. How about the below letter to be sent?

 

On 23 September 2017 details of the quality of the works attempted at the address xxx were emailed to your offices. To date I have not received a suggestion of remedy of the situation.

 

In line with the Consumer Rights Act 2015 Part 1, Chapter 2 , subsection 3 of Goods to be of satisfactory quality states the following:

 

(3)The quality of goods includes their state and condition; and the following aspects (among others) are in appropriate cases aspects of the quality of goods—

 

(a)fitness for all the purposes for which goods of that kind are usually supplied;

 

(b)appearance and finish;

 

©freedom from minor defects;

 

(d)safety;

 

(e)durability.

 

Further Section 15 on Installation states the following:

 

15 Installation as part of conformity of the goods with the contract

 

(1)Goods do not conform to a contract to supply goods if—

 

(a)installation of the goods forms part of the contract,

 

(b)the goods are installed by the trader or under the trader’s responsibility, and

 

©the goods are installed incorrectly.

 

In line with the above Section 19, Subsection 4 of the Consumer’s rights to enforce terms about good suggest the following course of action:

 

(4) If the goods do not conform to the contract under section 15 or because of a breach of requirements that are stated in the contract, the consumer’s rights (and the provisions about them and when they are available) are—

 

(a)the right to repair or replacement (section 23); and

 

(b)the right to a price reduction or the final right to reject (sections 20 and 24).

 

The Act further does not prevent the consumer seeking other remedies and please hereby be referred to the subsection 11:

 

(11)Those other remedies include any of the following that is open to the consumer in the circumstances—

 

(a)claiming damages;

 

(b)seeking specific performance;

 

©seeking an order for specific implement;

 

(d)relying on the breach against a claim by the trader for the price;

 

(e)for breach of an express term, exercising a right to treat the contract as at an end.

 

I hereby put you on notice that the Firm is in breach of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. In view of the fact and in line with the quoted legislation as the last pre-court resort you are proposed with the below course of action:

 

1. The remaining 4 mirrored doors are installed at the property on 7th October 2017 or alternative date in my presence no later 12th October.

 

2. The already installed goods provided with freedom from defects no later 12th October 2017.

 

The damage caused by the Firm will be reimbursed for and a reputable contractor will be arranged by the consumer to clean the carpets and paint over the stains on the walls and ceiling. The amount for the works will be deducted from the final payment due to the Firm.

 

Any funds following the deduction will be transferred to the company account within 3-5 working days following the completion of works and remedies.

 

Your response and confirmation of the agreement is required within the 7 day from the date of the letter after which the matter will be escalated to court.
