    • 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.

I have had my telephone number on PAYG for over twenty years. 

I last put credit on the phone around March, not long before lockdown. 

I did not leave the house during lockdown for over seven months and did not use the phone during that time as we do not have a signal at home. 

 

When I first ventured out of home after self isolation and needed the phone in an emergency I was unable to use the phone and not even able to contact the operator.  I subsequently found that my credit had been taken and my telephone number cancelled as it had not been used in six months. 

 

Although I did not use the phone much it was mainly in case of emergency and do not really want to get a different number as I have got used to this number and so have relatives who will find it difficult to get used to a new number.   

 

EE are saying that they texted me several times to tell me that the phone was going to be cut off but as we had no signal this was pointless.  

 

Any comments would be appreciated.

go over to giffgaff - it seems a waste of money to have a rolling contract for something you rarely use but want in emergencies.

 

like you phone don't work where i am inside and not much better outside of even a reasonably sized town.

 

with giifgaff you simply pop on a  non reoccurring goody bag say the £2/£5 one, and as long as you leave some money credit in the piggy bank (i use £10 about twice a year,) it always works when needed.

 

porting the old number was easy too.

EE say that I cannot port the number - it is now lost to me forever.   

After twenty years I don't really want to get used to a new number. 

 

It's frightening to think that if they have given my number to anyone else who will now have access to my financial/personal details. 

 

Trying to change my number is easier said than done and so time consuming and not as straightforward as I thought.

all you need is proof of the number on a bill. with GG.

I've never had any bill or correspondence and have not been able to access my account online.  Just topup every six months or so, using 150.  I was originally with T Mobile and then they advised me that they were transferring everything to EE but have no documentation.

Complaint will go nowhere, IMHO.

 

it is part of their T’s & C’s (and standard across the industry) that SIMs become inactive if not used. This is because numbers will be recycled : there is a limited (large, but still finite) pool of numbers.

 

If you weren’t able to make or receive a call, expect EE to say you could have made a top-up (e.g online) or have called their helpline to keep the number active.

 

I don’t know that giffgaff will be able to help without a PAC but it has to be worth a try following Dx’s suggestion. I wasn’t aware of any networks allowing a port without a PAC (else people could port numbers not belonging to them just with a bill showing the number!). Mind you, if this was PAYG you may not have a paper bill.......

 

Numbers are recycled but are quarantined /  ‘in limbo’ for (6 months?) after being cut-off. Once it gets recycled it will definitely be gone (as someone else will have it), so don’t delay.

 

it sounds like you needed to be on a different network anyway. If you moved to somewhere EE had no signal at your new home, it might have been wise to port to a network that does have signal there (unless none do).

 

if O2 (giffgaff’s parent network) don’t have signal at your home, but others do, but only gifffaff will let you retrieve your number: you can always port to giffgaff to salvage your number, wait a month or two, then port again to the network that does give you signal at home.
