    • I moved into my current property and SSE were the provider I switched to British Gas a few months in, I believe this might have been a final bill.
    • Its not clear from your posts how this debt was incurred ? You moved into the house and they were the existing supplier ? So the debt is for the previous owner ?
    • defence is due on Friday haven't had a response from Morality yet with regards to the CPR request. Have found this from a previous thread would it be ok to use?   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and 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.The Claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC ( Pre Action Protocol) Failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st October 2017.It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant to 7.1 PAPDC.   3.Furthermore, the claimant has given no details as to the breakdown of their claim so the defendant is unable to defend specifically.   4. The claimant openly admits that they do not have access to the agreement nor was the Assignor required to retain a copy. Therefore their claim is unsubstantiated. Pursuant to the civil procedure rules Practice Direction 16 (7.3) Where a claim is based upon a  written agreement:   (1) a copy of the contract or documents constituting the agreement should be attached to or served with the particulars of claim and the original(s)  should be available at  the hearing. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to:- a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement; b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed ; c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim;   5. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed.   6. It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

    • 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.

Legally though they don't have to provide an additional warranty - if you've got one, all well and good, but you can't expect it.

 

As I said, they can offer what they like and in a fair few cases you would just get the remaining warranty.

 

And if you have entered into a contract to buy a TV, say, at £800 and it went wrong, you would be entitled to (at best) a replacement TV of the same spec - not a better spec. A consumer cannot have betterment in law. If the trader offers you a better spec replacement, that's great - but legally you aren't entitled to one. This would apply however you have paid.

Please note I'm not insured in this capacity, so if you need to, do get official legal advice.

I think it's unlikely to be the case here, though, as the chances are that a TV can be replaced with one of the same spec.

 

I can see the argument for a better machine if there were no replacement items of the same spec and it was cheaper for the trader to do this than rescind.

 

However it's probably unlikely that there would be no like-for-like replacement unless some considerable time had passed and the spec had become obsolete, in which case the wear and tear issue would have to be taken into account anyway.

Finally got through to speak to the manager yesterday after no answer all day. Mentioned my 6% discount & he said no problem, would refund the difference to my card (I paid deposit on card) when I come to collect. Yippee!! Can't believe I'm getting such a good deal. But can't help thinking I might get a little suprise when I get it though ie the scalp of the young guy who agreed to it stapled to the box!!!

 

Anywho, anyone in the Norwich area go ahead, get down to Bennetts & speak to Alistair if you've got any problems...
