    • 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.

Hello, I need advice on how to go about this please , I am fuming !

 

Someone on facebook recommended  a financial advise company that could help Me apply for a Bounce Back loan for my business,

 

To be honest I have 3 businesses, I already applied for a very low amount for one of the businesses as i did not think this Covid problem would last this long i got for approved this,

 

a couple of months later i realised I would needed more funds to stay afloat, but I decided i might need more support or advise to apply again ,

 

This was the point i contacted this financial advise company, of which I paid £149 for initial advise and engagement, i also introduced 3 other friends to them ....

 

 i realised after speaking with them that they were not really offering anything special, they told me they would help me to open another high street bank account, process it on my behalf and then charge  £1,500 ... 

 

when their email came through it was different from what they 'said' that is I would have to do everything myself ! i thought , if I could apply for the 1st loan myself, without any other help why should i continue with this people ?

 

I went ahead and applied just the way i applied for the 1st loan , and i got approved for my 2nd business... all my other friends also pulled out because of this same reason this was about 8 months ago ... I also saw a couple of people on facebook calling them out ... more reason why i decided not to go ahead with them...

 

This morning an amount of £500 has been debited from my account ! for cancellation of engagement .. I do remember at the point of paying the £149 , i also signed an non-engagement document of £500 , but they didn't help me to process this application... They may want to claim Non engagement , but i think all this has been premeditated,

 

How can i get my money back from them  ?

 

please help

i have checked through all my emails , can't find any contract ! to be honest trying to juggle my brain now ... i cant remember signing anything,

 

i think i actually got the £500 cancellation info. from one of my friends who called to ask for a refund of his initial fee, and he told my friend He would send him a £500 invoice for cancelling,

 

looking through my emails, i found that one form was actually gone while i was still filling it out, and i sent an email to them that the form went before i pressed submit, and He responded to my email that it was okay ...

 

I have also gone to search up his name on facebook and there is a topic actually created on the 1st of April and people discussing about how he is fleecing people and debiting accounts with experiences similar to mine ...

Given his past record, he's not likely to use the court system to claim back the money you're now looking to reclaim via your bank.
