    • 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.

A fitter came to my house on the 20th of June.

Unfortunately, when he came to my house he did not have the LVT samples that I had requested from the Carpetright Ipswich store, in order to do colour matching.

I thought that was not professional of the store, but nevertheless, I decided to let this go.

 

On the 30th of June I made an order for a Carpet, LVT and fitting on a finance agreement.

 

At that time I did not realise that the carpet in question is out of stock and the customer advisor did not inform me of this. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have made the order as I would like to have flooring in my new house sooner.

 

I wish I had been informed of the 4 weeks turn around.

I had been hoping for a two-week turnaround (max).

 

On the date of my order I had been told by the person who did the paperwork that he would give me a ring the next day to arrange fitting dates.

I did not get the promised call on 1st July.

 

Monday 2nd July I followed up to try and get a fitting date and the person on the other line told me that it wouldn't be until the end of the month.

 

At which point I expressed my dissatisfaction as I had not known it would take so long, neither had I been told this at time of order.

 

The person on the other line said he would see what he can do to expedite the fitting.

 

He gave me a call the following day, but unfortunately, due to work commitments I missed the call and was not able to get back to the store until Friday 6th July.

 

On Friday 6th July I rang the store back and managed to secure a fitting date for the 19th of July.

 

However, I've been reviewing my Carpetright account online and I noticed that the carpet order is on hold because the carpet is (no stock). The store did not make this clear to me at the time of order that the carpet was not in stock.

 

My experience and cumulation of disappointments do not inspire confidence and I am concerned about further letdowns, which has led me to the decision to cancel my order

 

. I have a credit agreement with a cool of period of 14 days, which expires in 6 days.

 

This is a huge agreement to get into and a very big deal, as a result, I want to make sure that the service delivered is also to a good standard that I'm not going to regret.

 

Carpetright have point blank refused to cancel the order and yet attached is a term/condition that I feel they are in breach of.

 

I wonder what rights I have?

Thank you for responding. Unfortunately and stupidly of me, I made the order in Store. I didn't realise an online order would have better protections.

 

Hitachi have said if Carpetright refuse to cancel order, there's not much they can do, despite me being in their 14 day cool off period. I spoke to the Financial Services Ombusman and they said that can't be right, as the protection is there for a reason.

Thanks for your help.

 

I’ve written the cancellation email through resolved to both CP and Hitachi.

 

If they insist on this order, I’ve been advised by someone not to be at my property on the day of delivery and fitting. I was wondering what you think?

You will have the right to withdraw from the agreement, without giving any reason, for a period of 14 days. To do so, please call our Customer Service Team on 0344 375 5500.

 

The 14 day period will begin on the day after you sign the agreement. You must then repay in full the amount borrowed within 30 days, and the agreement will be cancelled.

 

If we haven't heard from you after the 14 day period we'll assume you're happy with everything and you will be bound by the terms of your loan.

Thank you, everyone, for all your responses. They are very encouraging and different to the types of responses I have received from Moneysavingexpert.

 

What if Carpet Right refuse to pay them back?

Thanks again all for your support on this issue.

 

Apparently the store manager is due to contact me today to tell me they are not cancelling the order. I was told this by the customer car team when I rang them yesterday afternoon. Should I even bother picking up the call?

 

Assuming Hitachi agree to cancel the agreement today. Would it make sense to email the customer care team and c.c CEO to reiterate my complaint and let them know that I have cancelled the agreement.

*Update*

 

I spoke to Hitachi and they have refused to cancel the agreement. However, they said I can withdraw from it and will have 30 days in which to pay them back their money.

 

I guess that's where Carpetright will refuse to pay them

Cancellations and Returns

 

By purchasing over the internet or by telephone you are entering into a “Distance Contract”. In addition to your normal statutory rights as a consumer you also have the right to cancel the contract at any time up to 14 days after the date your order is delivered to you, or if you have ordered more than one item and they are delivered on different dates, 14 days after the date of the last delivery of your order.

 

This right does not apply to products that are made to your specifications. This includes floor coverings which have been cut from a roll to your specific order size. In respect of any sealed mattress, mattress protector, pillow or bedding, these have been sealed to both protect the goods and for health and hygiene reasons. Consequently, if they are unsealed after delivery then your right to cancel and return the goods lapses. You are under a duty to take reasonable care of the goods until the end of any cooling off period.

 

If your order has not been delivered and you wish to cancel your order Online; please log in to your account, go to My Orders and select the Cancel option, alternatively you can call our Customer Service Team on 0330 333 3444 or email to [email protected].

 

If your order has not been cut to your specification we will accept a cancellation and refund your money. If, however, the product has been cut to your specifications we will accept cancellation and deduct 20% of the purchase price from the refund we issue to you to cover the losses we will incur in selling your purchase as a reduced price remnant in one of our stores. We will advise you of any such charge and you may then decide whether or not you wish to proceed to cancel the order. When your goods have been delivered you have a reasonable opportunity to make sure that they are the goods you ordered.

 

If not you should not cut into, fit or use them (other than to check whether or not they are the right goods). You should retain the packaging so that this can be reused, if possible, for their return. You will be responsible for the condition of the goods and for their reasonable care whilst they are in your possession. Online; please log in to your account, go to My Enquiries, New Enquiry, or call our Customer Service Team on 0330 333 3444 or email to [email protected] within 14 days of delivery.

 

If you cancel your order and wish to return the products in accordance with your statutory right to cancel, we will arrange collection of the products. There will be a collection charge equal to the delivery charge for the product, except in respect of rugs purchased in store (this does not include online exclusive rugs), which may be returned without charge to your local Carpetright store. Alternatively, if you wish us to collect any rugs purchased in store, a charge will be made relative to the size and weight of the rug being returned. Details of charges are available from the Customer Service Team on 0330 333 3444.

 

Any refund of the purchase price in respect of returns, will be made after deducting the applicable collection charge. After this statutory fourteen day ‘cooling off’ period, you have the protection of your statutory rights. If you are unsure of your rights, please do not hesitate to seek advice from Trading Standards or other advisory body.

Thanks for picking this up. I’m at a loss and gave up.

 

The store manager claims the carpets are cut and in the store so they can’t cancel order and yet my online carpetright account still shows it as on hold (no stock).

 

I got the feeling he’s lying to me so I caved in and gave up trying to fight this.

I’m still unhappy and would appreciate advice.

 

I’ve called the store and spoken to the manager

. I recorded the conversation and asked him to confirm and also email confirmation that my carpet has been cut and delivered to store

. He said he will.

So will wait and see.

stop calling the store and if you phone anyone speak to head office.

PRint out that you cancelled the order within the cooling off period and that you arent having the carpet and you arent paying for something that isnt yours.

 

Remind whoever you talk to that they are being recorded and say that they should respond with the Consumer rights Act in mind and explain for the record why the law of the land doesn't apply to them.
