    • Nothing will happen in regard to this one shoplifting event, other than Sainsburys won't let you shop in this store again.   But, if you continued to shoplift, then the consequences are more serious. Local to me, there  is a town where about 13 people have been banned from shopping in many of the shops. They are subject to some form of order, where if they set foot in any of the stores, they will be subject to arrest by Police.  
    • Agree with DX, Sadly, from the pics, it looks like you're bang to rights😪 The rules are very explicit. Before entering the box, you must ensure that you are able to completely exit. It looks like the car in front may have moved a couple of feet and tempted you to set off, but when you did that, there still wasn't enough room to completely exit the box. By all means ask to see the video evidence, but saying you had to stop because the vehicle in front stopped, isn't a valid defence.
    • Hello, welcome to CAG. I imagine the letter that the security guards talked about will be a letter from a company or lawyers who specialise in trying to extract money from shoplifters. I think Sainsbury's use DWF solicitors, otherwise it could be a company like RLP. It won't be a 'fine', only the police can do that. Look at this as a parallel 'justice' system that doesn't involve the plice. If you read around the forum for other cases of shoplifting, you'll get the idea of how this all works. If you think your behaviour has become compulsive, we suggest having a chat with your GP who should get you help for this. Best, HB

    • Hi all…. i was wondering if someone could help me. I am ashamed I have been caught shoplifting from Sainsbury’s by two undercover security guards who I suspect have been following me for a week now… I have been impulsively shoplifting due to what I think could have become an addiction of some kind. I am ashamed of what I had been doing and I do believe being caught has been for the greater good. i was taken to a room and asked to empty my bag, the guards were slightly rude but I complied with them politely as I know they are just doing their job and I am in the wrong. They retrieved my address, name, birthdate and took a photo of me, they asked me how many times I had shoplifted and I said twice and I didn’t want to be foolish and say just once. They issued me a letter of ban from the store and if I was caught in the store again the police would be called. They told me I would be paying 2x what I had stolen today as the goods had been damage which I am guessing is stole around £65 worth roughly. I did offer to pay for the items I had stolen on the day but they declined. They did not call the police but let me leave after claiming I was a lucky person. They told me to expect a letter in the post and that I “would be smart not to ignore it”  what should I be expecting in the post from them? I am aware from reading a lot online about security costs.. people mentioned to ignore these costs however as I had damaged the labelling on the goods should I still comply and pay the fines ?  kind regards awful shoplifter

    • 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 Folks, Looking for a little bit of help.

 

I recently purchased a VW scrioco from a dealership.

Good ratings in fact 5* across the board. Car was £7500, 2010 model, 56000 Miles.

 

Got the car home on the Sunday (20 mile drive),

Went to work on Monday and saw an oil patch on the floor.

Contacted the garage about this issue and told to clean the skid on the bottom of the car as it may have pooled from the recent oil change.

 

Did this then about 5 days later it was still happening.

At the same time i also noticed that the coolant was leaking whilst the car hand been driven all weekend.

 

Filled the coolant up 2 times and all drained out.

Went to start the car to head into the garage to let them run a diagnostics report and the car battery was dead and wouldn't turn over.

 

Told the garage via email and phone that i would like to reject the car under the CRA 2015 as within the 30 days. The dealership have rejected this as they believe its wear and tear. and wouldn't used a mediator to sort the problem out, in fact they wouldn't put anything in writing.

 

The car is currently with them for a diagnostics report.

 

Looking for a bit of advice as my next step, and what to do really as i believe these problems deem the car of unsatisfactory quality and also not fit for purpose.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tell them that if you wanted lemons you would have gone to the market, not a car dealer.

You are fully within your rights to reject.

Keep everything in writing and if you have to talk over the phone or in person, record the conversation.

Update - on the phone following report. "There isn't really Diagnostics report. We have just fixed the seals." Mechanic says hes happy he has driven car and no leaks - Battery not tested "was in perfect condition when we gave you the car" . Am i still in my right to reject the car?

 

Dealership been shifty as you would expect.

 

All recorded on phone.

Yes, you have already rejected the car via email.

Now that they've "fixed" it (We don't know what they've done to stop the leaks) they can sell it to someone else.

Unless you want the car, but if you do, make sure to let them know in writing that you will want a refund as soon as any of the leaks reappears.

Is this ex rental or repossessed ex finance?

Shouldn't leak at 56k miles, no even fiat.

king12345, Whats my next steps then?

 

they are just saying come and collect the car and the mechanic will talk you through the issues.

 

don't want the car as 3 issues within 2 weeks doesn't fill me with confidence.

 

Wouldn't know if it was ex rental or repossessed?

you leave the car at the dealership and send them a letter saying you have rejected it under the Consumer Rights Act and now expect your money back.

How did you pay? If by debit card to give them a couple of days to think about it and then do a chargeback. If you took out finance you let the finance co know that you have rejected the goods and your contract with them is now voided. Dont leave it too long as you have a shorter rejection period for the loan agreement than you do for the car.

s.20 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 outlines your "right to reject", within the first 30 days, you can reject goods for a full refund should a problem arise, in this case, the vehicle wasn't supplied "fit for purpose" or "as described".

 

Dealers cannot refuse this request, if they refuse, then your next recourse is a complaint to Trading Standards, and a Letter Before Claim stating that you've rejected the goods and a refund is due, don't faff around engaging in letter tennis, get a Letter Before Claim sent, if the fail to pay within 14 days, then issue proceedings against them.

General update - Call today

 

garage - We haven't done a diagnostics, we have repaired the valves, haven't tested the battery as it was in perfect condition when we gave it to you. Can you come and collect it today?

 

Shall i collect the car as i dont want to leave them my car and then they fold as another feed on hear seems to show there same rejection of right to reject only last month. Then go and get a diagnostics report done? or shall i get the car stop driving it then issue the letter before claim?

 

also is this bol****s about it been wear and tear? They have said they have changed over 2 valves.

Valves at 56k miles...

Something fishy here.

Have you checked the mileage record on service invoices as well as previous MOTs?

Surely the car is a lemon and these guys are in business to screw people over.

Check how long the business has been running on companies house and check how many businesses the directors have closed down.

Also, is the receipt of sale headed with the limited company name?

Does it say limited or Ltd anywhere?

If so, it's a gamble to leave the car there and sue because you could lose it as well as the money.

How did you pay for the car?

Please don't say cash or bank transfer...

Yeah Called VW this morning all services in book match there records, garages who did MOT's all match up with Gov site.

 

Collecting the car in the morning to keep on my premise till action resolved, as the invoice is from Ltd.

 

Been going since 2016 and the owner isn't included on anything else.

 

Contacted the finance company whom i got the car through and they have started an investigation and as they paid but my agreement is with them. Hopefully they can resolve it fairly quickly.

If you've rejected the car, the whole point is that you're saying the car isn't fit for purpose, you're not requesting that they repair it, you're requesting that they refund you in full. It's pointless rejecting, and then doing as you're told by the dealership who decides to repair it anyways.

 

A car with that low of a mileage having such issues is a massive red flag, walk away.

King12345 Bought the Car last month but the company has been trading two years or so.

 

Collected the car this morning to keep on my drive until the issue is resolved, drove 14 miles and car wasn't accelerating pulled over and there is oil all over the top back side of the engine block, got it towed home. Then the battery which they inspected wouldn't turn over.

 

Issuing final letter / email to them regarding payment. Following that the finance teams legal department are on the case.
