    • 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.

Hi all

Bit of advice please as I can not find anything on the internet relating to governance of online Raffle.

 

The Gambling Comission do not require these such sites to be licensed if they offer a free entry route or a element of skill (such as answering a question correctly).

 

Bank (starling) refusing to refund as MasterCard (who supply the debit card)  state "When disputing transactions we have to follow specific rules set by MasterCard.

Based on further investigation, we will unfortunately be unable to dispute these transactions at this time.

This is because the service was provided by the merchant which entailed depositing of funds and facilitating wagering (buying raffles).

As the merchant has provided this service, we have no chargeback rights to dispute this payment."

 

my issue is with one site which looked at first legitimate but lots of things have happened since entering competitions:

1) Draw dates constantly extended.

Original Draw dates December constantly changed again should of ended today but extended to march.

 

2) terms & conditions amended on 5th Feb which amended the Maximum extension period from 7 days + 4x7 days maximum extension to 28+ 4x28 days.

3) Messages, emails unanswered.

Questions and comments about the draws deleted off Facebook & blocked from further commenting/messaging

 

4) positive reviews made by family members and employees of owners other companies

 

5) winners previously associated with the owners companies

 

There is one negative review, bs people have commented on this stating the same issues but are blocked from writing a review but able to comment on the negative review (?)

 

Any advice or is it a case of Action Fraud.

and what is it they have actually done to you?
taken money for a raffle that was due on xxx date and keep putting the draw date back?

 

 

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Past it's original T&C's - blocked from commenting / contacting the site/Facebook page.

Owner of the Raffle site has multiple businesses (car sales & repairs are two)

The way the site is being run there are no intentions to hold the draws.

 

Original T&C's permitted the operator of the site to extend the draws to the end of January.

This date passed with each competition marked as Closed awaiting draw, only to have a new active timer for another 28 days - meaning they broke the original terms and conditions.

 

Then 5th Feb, he updated the terms and conditions which now means he can extend to around May.

 

Surely the original T&C's for competitions prior to 5th Feb change must be adhered to?

 

Is there a governing body that monitors this, or can someone just create a site and have no intentions to hold draws & keep extending the draw date beyond the t&C's?

you didnt answer my question..

T&C's are just, that , terms and conditions, as with PPI they can be challenged.

 

about time we named these fleecers so people can do their own research.

I invested £100 into the raffle site (I am on others which operate as expected and have won a few prizes)

I've not invested anything further but others are still being fobbed off by this person.

 

The site is called Ryan's Raffles

https://ryansraffles.co.uk/

 

The Facebook page of which im blocked for commenting/messaging & leaving a review is:

https://www.facebook.com/ryansraffle

 

If you take a look at the reviews you can see how he's asked if there's an issue but then no response. Also shows negative review with other person who is experiencing the same.

The dates shown are competition start date and end date.

I do not have screenshots from December as I didn't think anything was untoward.

Entries purchased November for December (Christmas) Draws.

After the draw date they were extended week by week but then exteded by 28days as we his new T & C's.

 

Other people have also been impacted and posted asking when the tool sets, cars etc are going to be drawn only to have the comments deleted. 

He will reply sarcastically in the early hours and then delete his comments. (See also attached)

Thank you. I'm not excusing him but it sounds as if he's postponing draw dates because the amount that's come in doesn't cover the prize. Of course he'll expect to make a profit but I've no idea what is a reasonable profit on a raffle.

 

I'm amazed that this doesn't seem to be regulated.

Terms and conditions state if less that 70% of tickets have been sold the a cash prize of 70% of ticket sales will be awarded.

 

This was in the original and current terms & conditions.

 

If a raffle has a Skill based element (question is required to be answered) and there is. Free entry route the Gambling Comission do not require it to be licensed.

 

However, there have been users posting that they did the postal entries and not one of them has been awarded an entry ticket - he says they didn't do it correctly and deletes the comment. 

Requirement for postal is Postcard with name address, email, mobile and competiton name and answer. (Not hard is it?)
