It will be very helpful if you could space your posts a bit more. Well space makes it much easier for people to engage with – especially when they are looking at it on a small screen. I'm not sure how long ago was that curries could ever have been considered an excellent retailer. They've always been curmudgeonly about their customer support. All I can say is that there were times when they were maybe a better retailer because at the moment things are very bad with them. If you used have an account here then maybe we can merge them if you still have access to the old email address that you used. We weren't around in the eighties. We started in 2006. I don't see why you think that your previous history with curries should influence their standard of customer-dealing with you. Big Fail. Also, yes – failure to use a credit card – Big Fail. I've had a look at your letter of claim. I can't believe that this is the standard of stuff provided by Which magazine. It really is verbose and goes into all sorts of irrelevant details – and in case you haven't understood it yet, Currys don't care about the problems they have caused you, whether or not their behaviour is unacceptable, your level of exasperation – you attempt to be reasonable to them by proposing some kind of negotiation (what on earth is there to negotiate here? You paid 100% of the money and you want 100% of what you paid for. Is there a problem with that?) Have you sent this letter of claim yet? You better let us see your proposed particulars of claim before you click them off. I have no idea why you went to Which – when you know that we exist and you've been here before. Also, I have just noticed that you have given them 28 days to respond. Bless! -

Yep, should have made sure all were defaulted, sucked up the bad credit for 6 years (which I had anyway) . -
I've just tried to apply for a mortgage and noticed vodafone have dropped a default on my account on my final bill by mistake. WTH. Stress like you would not believe. Anyone else had their credit report ruined by Vodafone.. And advice? 😢 -

Hi. Thanks very much for taking the time to read and respond to this post. I was a CAG member many years ago under a different username and I think it was you that helped me then, with a few DCAs. Thankfully, with help from this forum, that's all behind me now. Anyway, as far as this issue is concerned; the only reason that I contacted the manufacturer is because they just would not deal with me at all unless I did so, so even though I knew they were in the wrong (and I told them so many times, quoting CRA2015) I just thought that it might make it easier if the manufacturer would put it in writing that there is a fault. To be honest, at the start of all of this I assumed that Currys were still the excellent retailer that I was used to and have been using since I can remember. I don't really know when they started, but I am pretty sure that I have been buying from them since the 80s (a walkman I think - showing my age there!) although I hadn't done so more recently. I honestly thought that when the manufacturer confirmed that there was a fault Currys would do the right thing. I am shocked at how terrible they have become. I have attached my LBA. I downloaded the template for this from the Which website. It's slightly different to the last time I used an LBA, against a car dealer. There's a bit in there about Paypal. Unfortunately I used Paypal, in hindsight I wish I had used a credit card because I could probably then use section 75 (another thing I learned from CAG a few years ago). Again, I didn't foresee any problem with Currys because of my history with them. lba currys.docx -

Post in Court Claim Against Hermes - item sent via Packlink was lost/tampered with **WON at mediation full amount **
jj58 posted a post in a topic,
Hi @BankFodder
Sorry for only updating you now, but after your guidance with submitting the claim it was pretty straight forward and I didn't want to unnecessarily waste your time. Especially with this guide you wrote here, so many thanks for that
So I issued the claim on day 15 and they requested more time to respond.
They took until the last day to respond and denied the claim, unsurprisingly saying my contract was with Packlink and not with them.
I opted for mediation, and it played out very similarly to other people's experiences.
In the first call I outlined my case, and I referred to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 as the reason to why I do in fact have a contract with them.
In the second call the mediator came back with an offer of the full amount of the phone and postage £146.93, but not the court costs. I said I was not willing to accept this and the mediator came across as a bit irritated that I would not accept this and said I should be flexible. I insisted that the law was on my side and I was willing to take them to court. The mediator went back to Hermes with what I said.
In the third call the mediator said that they would offer the full amount. However, he said that Hermes still thought that I should have taken the case against Packlink instead, and that they would try to recover the court costs themselves from Packlink.
To be fair to them, if Packlink wasn't based in Spain I would've made the claim against them instead. But since they are overseas and the law lets me take action against Hermes directly, it's the best way of trying to recover the money.
So this is a great win. Thank you so much for your help and all of the resources available on this site. It has helped me so much especially as someone who does not know anything about making money claims.
Many thanks, stay safe and have a good Christmas!
