    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the xx/xx/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the xx/xx/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, xx/xx/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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 am looking for some advice please.

 

my iPad screen got cracked

I decided to try and repair it my self but the new glass was faulty. 

 

I decided it was best to pay to have it fixed properly

then decided to take it to to a local repair shop who claims to be certified by apple (Trained by ) apple for repairs and uses apple parts.

 

the shop owner says he would fit a new apple screen not after market one and a new home button this would cost £80 I agreed and returned to pick iPad up.

The home button was working fine and screen was working however he had got adhesive glue on my mail lcd screen (under the glass) and you could see it.

 

I told him I was not happy and wanted it fixed properly as there was no adhesive on the lcd screen before repair. 

he says that it can happen I thought we all make mistakes and asked him to fix it again.

second time I returned to the shop the screen was much better but there was a very small bit of adhesive but it was hard to see. 

 

I noticed that now the main home button was very loose and moving around I told him that I was not going to use it like this.

It even got jammed under glass when I tried to use it.

 

his reply was that the reason is that he has not installed a rubber gasket as the replacement button does not come with one.

also now my screen has bleed (pressure marks) where he was clamped the screen down too hard.

 

I even spoke to the apple store and they confirmed that no shops was authorised to replace apple screens and the reason my screen has bleed now was he has clamped it down with a lot of pressure.

 

I have my receipt for the screen.

I am Just not sure what to do as he can do repairs but won't be able to fix screen pressure damage and my iPad will never be the same now.

I am not even sure if he has used a proper apple screen that I paid him for.

 

does any of you know what I should do as I was going to speak to trading standards but not sure on next step to take

 

Thank you for any help or advice

At base, you have the right to receive the service you paid for which means that the store promised to fit a replacement genuine screen and it seems that they failed to do so – at least insofar as the fitting is concerned. We don't know if it is a genuine screen. How can you discover?

However, from a pragmatic point of view the whole thing is a bit of a mess because you are going to run into a tangle of counter accusations because it seems that you started off trying to do the job yourself, then they did a job which sounds as if it was pretty good except for some adhesive which is visible – and then when you complained about it, they tried to make good but in fact they made it worse.

The fact that they tried to correct indicates that at some level they are a pretty decent company because I'm sure that many companies wouldn't have bothered all would have refused to help further.

Personally I would suggest that you go back and talk to them about it and see what they are prepared to do.

You could make a complaint and eventually bring a small claim. I suppose you could claim back your £80 – but as I say it might be very messy – and I'm not sure about the status of your iPad with its existing screen which obviously works but it's a bit fiddly because of the button. It might be that you would get a partial award – and maybe you will be easier to negotiate this from the repairer.

You don't say how old the tablet is or what its present replacement value is

What model of iPad was it out of interest as a new model one with the fused glass is far more expensive than £80 just for the LCD.

 

When a repair store says they are using a genuine LCD 99% of the time they won't, the only way for a non Apple store to get hold of one is to strip it out of a faulty iPad as Apple doesn't sell their LCDs and keep a very close on on where they get shipped too.

Thank you for your help the iPad is a iPad 5  2017 cellular model they cost around £235 second hand. When the iPad was taken in to the stop there was a top glass fitted but it was not glued down and there was no damage to the main lcd and it was clean. The shop owner has tried to help as every time he has to change the top glass screen. but now the button does not work at all and is very loose.this is because he has not put a simple rubber gasket on. As for the lcd screen there is permeant damage from clamps being applied to the screen this was caused by the store. The only way would be to replace the main glass and bottom screen and button. The iPad worked fine before. I just don't se why I should have to settle for an iPad that won't or look as it should.

All the home buttons I have ever ordered have come with a new gasket as they can tear when you remove the button, even so you can still use the old one as long as it hasn't been torn in half.

 

To also get glue on the LCD is quite hard as anyone that knows what they are doing would put the glue on the metal frame centered so when you lay the new digitizer glass down it spreads evenly giving it a firm hold. If you also get glue on the LCD it is removable with a bit of IPA and a microfiber cloth, I guess he didn't check the iPad worked before he glued the new digitizer in place.

 

Did he replace the LCD, home button and glass ? Just 3rd party prices you are talking £35 for the LCD £8 for the home button and £13 for the glass for a total of approx £56, there is no way he could have got a legit OEM LCD panel for the £80

 

The fact you have pressure marks is a bit alarming as when I have done repairs in the past I only clamp along the sides making sure not to go over the LCD area to avoid causing any issues with the screen and the fact it is in a metal housing and the LCD is resesed into the frame he has over tightened them a lot and gone way over the glass border. The pressure spots is there one in each corner or are they down the left side of the LCD.

There is absently no reason why you should settle for anything less than you paid for – which is a proper repair, apparently with an Apple screen.

It all depends on how much trouble you want to make about it. If you want to make a written complaint and then begin a small claim, then we will help you. Will have to calculate how much you are entitled to recover from him. I would say it would be the value of putting the tablet into the condition it should have been put in if the repair had been properly carried out. This means that you would have to get some independent quotes for replacing the screen properly.

I suggest you do that then come back here. You will need written quotes – at least two of them

I have just looked at the iPad and the pressure marks are mainly on the left hand side also at the top and bottom. when I took the iPad to the shop it had the original button in with fingerprint id working, but the button  would not click it also had a new rubber gasket. Thank you for all of your help with this I will email the store and tell him I want it sorting out I have loaded an image of my screen

It almost certainly isn't a genuine Apple Screen, at the very least not a brand new one, Apple do not supply third parties with repair parts, they are notorious for this and it's part of their strategy to boost sales of newer iPad/iPhone models by making older ones as difficult to repair as possible. He will have used either an after market screen or a second hand screen pulled from another iPad.
