    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.
    • quite honestly id email shiply CEO with that crime ref number and state you will be taking this to court, for the full sum of your losses, if it is not resolved ASAP. should that be necessary then i WILL be naming Shiply as the defendant. this can be avoided should the information upon whom the courier was and their current new company contact details, as the present is simply LONDON VIRTUAL OFFICES  is a company registered there and there's a bunch of other invisible companies so clearly just a mail address   
    • If it doesn’t sell easily : what they can get at an auction becomes fair market price, which may not realise what you are hoping.
    • Thank you. The receiver issue is a rabbit hole I don't think I'm going to enjoy going down. These people seem so protected. And I don't understand how or why?  Fair market value seems to be ever shifting and contentious.

    • 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'm devasted... just logged on to my e-banking. I've had about 300-400 taken out each month for the past couple of years, but this is the final straw.

 

I can't wait to do a proper re-claim, I just need this money back this month without delay.... any advice?

you could try ringing them but in my experience it does no good, if you have your previous 6 years bank statements then you can start right away with your 1st letter, nothing is going to get your money back this month, but if you read the FAQ's the step by step process and quite a few of the threads you will be able to guage the fight that you will have but ultimately you will triumph and get all your money back.

 

Its not a quick fix, but it is a fix that works, if you get stuck or have any questions, then post on here and there is usually someone around that can help

 

Hope this helps and welcome :D

Well, I'm going to try this evening anyway. They've probably had over 10k off me in the past 2 or 3 years, but to take over £1,200 in a single month is outrageous by anybodys standards I would say.

 

Wish me luck.

Called Abbey, got cut off whilst being transferred to a supervisor though. Damn. Will try later.

 

They confirmed that they have charged me £1,844 in the past two months.

 

Is this a record?

 

:(

 

Desperately unhappy.

if you think is £10K why not do an estimate set of figure on the last few months and in the letters say this is an estimate and actual figures will be supplied as soon as you get your statements.

 

The other thing to do is get as much info from your online statements and do a part 1 claim for what you can get online then sar them for the earlier ones.

 

good luck.

 

you could always shorten the timelines to 7 dys for each step but if (unlikely) it goes to court it can go against you. I changed the times to 10 days to speed things up with nationwide and got away with it.

 

I have also heard of folks going strainght to mcol, but that is a big risk

Hi James,

We know how you feel,we had £800 taken in one month from our account in charges as my partner had just changed from weekly pay to monthly pay and its taken us about 8 months to get straight.Then to top it all my partner had to do jury service for 3 weeks and they don`t pay you until you`re finished so he had to dip into the bills money to pay for petrol and car parking,so again we are in dire straits.It will probably take us another 8 months or longer to sort ourselves out but we are taking ShAbbey to court now.Just waiting for the court date now.Keep at it and don`t give up.

On Martins Money Tips he says "JUST BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY ARE GOING TO DO IT DOESN`T MEAN THAT ITS RIGHT !!!"

i'm 8 months into my claim, but now have a court date (which they most probably will not turn up to). so it is no quick fix to claim.... but it's worth it. my claim is for over £5000 as i handled my account unwisely. but they have no right to charge you the amount they do. so keep the faith, follow the step by step guide and keep going!!!!
