    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. 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. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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 and thanks in advance for any time spent reading this :)

 

I have recently had some Quartz worktops installed, well actually they were part installed as some issues were noticed during the install and said items take back to be corrected / reworked.

 

Within hours of the "part install" I noticed a few other quality / manufacturing faults and reported them. To my relief, they come back the following day to remove the defective worktop and again said that they will correct / rework.

 

Unfortunately over the next few days I started to notice some more significant faults, parts not to the correct dimensions & some damage that they tried to hide with a poor quality repair. 

 

 

I contacted them, advised them of the additional issues and also explained my disappointment in the poor quality product / craftsmanship. 

 

 

They took several days to reply and with no apology explained that the MD will have to look into the issues.

 

It had been about 2 weeks since the install and I sent a few reminder emails & made phone calls to them and I was told that the MD will have to visit my house to inspect.

I then received a call from the MD who took the approach that I am complaining over nothing, however he said that he will visit next week to assess.

 

Unfortunately he did not turn up, but the installers did and they have removed the worktops completely and have taken them back. So I now have no worktops at all 3 weeks after the initial part install.

 

 

I am extremely frustrated by the lack of communication from them, they have not really proposed what remedial work will be done if at all. The term "rework" has only been stated by the lads who have installed & then removed the worktops.

 

 

Its been 5 weeks since I paid in FULL as this was a condition of ordering (so I used credit card) and 3 weeks since the install.

 

 

My question right now is where do I stand?

 

Can I demand a refund?

 

Do I have to allow them a chance to "rework" and what if the result is still unsatisfactory / not to spec?

 

Are there any time limits I should be aware of, for example 30 day to ask for money back etc.

 

 

 

Thank you very much for your time and any advice.

 

Regards,

WB

Thank you.

It seems to me that there are two things here. First of all you need to get your money back and secondly you need to repair the damage that has been caused. Presumably you don't want anything more to do with them.

On the first – you paid by credit card. If you had paid by bank transfer or if you had paid by cash you would have absolutely no recourse. You paid by credit card and so you have protection under section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act and so you should contact your credit card issuer tomorrow and begin the process of making a claim.

They may not be too happy about it – but let us know and we will help you to push it through.

Second thing to do is to start finding out the cost of making good or removing the installation and replacing it with an installation from someone else.

The other very good thing that you have done in addition to paying by credit card is that you have had the installation carried out by the people who supplied the material. All too often we get stories from people who bought the material from one source and then had it installed by somebody else and they then find themselves piggy in the middle with each side blaming the other. Because you have got it all from one supplier, then there is no question of liability. It is all theirs.

It is important to gather a paper trail. Get a couple of independent suppliers/installers to visit you and to quote for whatever work you need doing to make it good. That could include ripping it out and starting from zero. Whatever your experts advise.

I would suggest that you contact your existing installers and let them know that this is what you are doing and tell them that if there are any fees associated with the inspection then you will be looking to them to reimburse you but that you will let them know in advance how much these fees will be.

You need to be very methodical about keeping a paper record of everything and letting the other side know exactly what you are spending so that they understand how their liabilities are building up.

When you have got two evaluations for the work then choose the one – probably the one which is the cheapest and put the work in hand. Once again, give the other side advance notice that this is what you are doing and this is what the cost is and that you will be looking to them to reimburse anything over and above the price that you had agreed to pay them.

Your objective here is to get your worktops et cetera into the position that they would have been if they had been correctly fitted to begin with and not to pay a penny more than you had already agreed to the existing installers.

Please will you tell us the name of the installers who were meant to be doing the work in the first place. Don't be shy about it – there's no disadvantage to you

Hi BF,

Thank you for your very detailed reply, I will get to work on it tomorrow and keep you updated. 

 

On one hand, I want them to make good and provide me the quality product and service that I was promised.

 

Then on the other hand I want to walk away and get my hard earned money back. However, the stress, lengthy process and inconvenience that all that will cause is off putting. But why should I settle for a bodge job...

 

 

I have not been left with any damage, all the damage was within their worktops, which they have now completely removed and taken back.

 

I can only assume that they will be planning some remedial work on the worktops and will then want to come back and reinstall. 

 

The issue is, that I have lost all faith in the company along with the expected level of quality that was promised. The transaction has effectively lost its shine and thus left us very underwhelmed. 

 

The worktops come with a 10 year warranty and based on the attitude and approach of the company this far, I doubt that they would support any claim raised over the next 10 years.

 

 

I think I need to sleep on it and then make a decision.

 

 

Thank you again, hope to give you an update soon.

 

Kind regards,

WB

Well in the experience that we have accumulated on this forum, you have lost confidence in them – it sounds as if you are correct to have done so and you should get out of it. You now have a difficult relationship with this company. Also, you say that you have a 10 year warranty – but the warranty will only last as long as the business lasts.

I asked you to tell us the name of the firm and you haven't addressed this question
