    • Given the evidence you have provided it should hopefully be a formality, the WS is ready to go and their case is torpedoed below the waterline.
    • Hey @Rubixcube sorry that I am a bit late to the party but to look into your issues, could you explain in a bit more detail what happened? I did not know that either before you mentioned it, but it seems indeed that Booking.com holidays are just a mirror site for lastminute.com and therefore the exact same thing... Good to know because Last minute is an awful OTA. It actually doesn't seem to be a big secret. If you click the link below (which is the main link from booking.com home page, and has lastminute written in it!) you will see the slogan "Booking.com Powered by Last minute" on 3 separate areas at least within the same page! Just a moment... BOOKING-DP.LASTMINUTE.COM Anyway, do let us know what exactly happened and we can try and see who you should be claiming from.
    • post re submitted  we are quite secure with that. it's ok to it here  you need to formerly WRITE to BMW AND to the finance co. (who is?) and REJECT the car under your short term right to reject. 100's of threads here on Big Motoring World, and they scammed you out of a useless warranty too, you dont need it ever, CRA covers you for FREE. dx  
    • Hey there, as the plane went tech you are entitled to the £520 x2 compensation under EC261. This is a clear cut case. Just claim straight with Virgin. However you are not entitled to a full refund, since you were eventually flown to the final destination; of course that second flight should have been totally free of charge; if not you must bill Virgin for it. Your mum+sis are also entitled to full reimbursment of taxis to and from the hotel, as well as meals+refreshments that they had for the entire duration of the unexpected stop, including both at the hotel and airport. (Just stay reasonable: no claiming for 49 pina coladas at the beach bar) Was their luggage returned to them during the unexpected stop? If not they may also claim for any toiletries and clothing that they had to purchase during the night stop. I understand the hotel has already been paid for, just don't forget the rest. Hopefully they have kept the receipts. Otherwise bank statements should do the trick. You need to claim for this in addition of the £1040 Other than the above there is no statutory compensation due for missing out on 1.5days of holiday. You could however talk to someone at customer service and make a polite request to extend your stay by another couple days and see if they will do it for you free of charge (providing they have space). Or if not, you could possibly get some token gesture of money back or voucher off your next holiday. It's worth trying. That you paid £700 for a name change is unfortunate but it's completely unrelated to the situation at hand. Above all I hope they don't worry too much about this mishap, and make the most of their holiday. Compensation is practically guaranteedwhen they are back. Just tell them to save all receipts they have and don't worry about the rest until they're back!

    • 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.

At the OC stage it’s a matter for personal choice as to which option works best for you 

If you foresee your finances rapidity improving within a couple of years the and just need the pressures off on a temporary basis then a much reduced payment to the OC may be right

With the fact I have defaults I don't think it's worth paying OC as they will likely spread out my defaults.

Guess ill wait until they are all sold on and accrue my money for any options that come up.

lIl likely change my phone number and wait.

Chase for CCA agreements before I agree to engage with anyone

Thought I would chip in as I am further down the line with debts, not as much as your debts but at least 30k.

 

I ended up in debt with a 13k loan after my wife lost her job. I had a number of CC and Catalogues etc I could manage to pay everything apart from the 13k loan.

 

I didn't know what to do and like you I turned to Stepchange who told me I couldn't be in debt with one and just pay them a small amount I had to go in debt with everything. following their advice I stopped payment on all my CC and Catalogues ended up 30k in debt instead of just 13k and had to change my bank.

 

I found them really unhelpful, took all my income with nothing to spare as had to do the break down of everything I earned I was down for something like 10 years or more to pay it off with current earnings, I said to them it doesn't say on here holidays how am I meant to put anything away for a break and I have  a small child as well they need a break and he said to me you can't have any kind of luxury or it will look bad to the DCA's if you have any extra income because they won't be happy if you are on holiday with money that could be paid to them.

 

I paid for about a year then I found this place who suggested I ditched Stepchange and went on my own. I didn't know what to do and didn't think I could do it on my own, With the help of these guys on here I've come a long way over the last few years and learnt a lot too even though I don't always understand stuff.

 

Some debts the DCA's haven't been able to get the right information so the can't enforce the debt, one of them was the 13k loan so we have another 3 years to go and it will be 6 years then hopefully they won't get that info before.

 

As for the catalogues this eventually ended up with lowell, these are buggers and work with Overdales solicitors. I pushed these as far as I could and now having to take a £4600 debt to court at the end of September, its taken a good few years to get to this point though with things like mediation as options but didnt work for me as they didn't supply all the paper work .

 

I have a 2 hour hearing to attend so got to get all my paper work in order for that. Not that there is much to take as my defence on this one is none compliance with a section 78/CCA request I'm sure we'll come to some payment arrangement in court. Worst case a CCJ the DCA still might not enforce it.

 

Best thing you've done though is coming here and doing it on your own. You'll get plenty of advice on here and the best course of action to take

If that works best for you then that is the way for you to go

just a quick update. so far 3 accounts have been sold on

one Halifax to Link

MBNA to Link

BC to PRA Group

Have sent all CCA requests.

Link have so far exceeded the timeframe to respond with only one letter so far for the Halifax request stating the OC confirmed they couldnt respond within the time frame. no return of my PO.

I would assume without a copy of my original signed for copy of the agreement they shouldnt be able to enforce as they are missing my acceptance of the original agreement?

I would also expect Link to reimburse my PO as they have failed to comply with the request within the time allowed.

new update.

Link Financial have sent me one response with what looks like an original agreement with the online tick box and date with my old address and is enforceable.

What seemed which strange on this was in one part of the agreement details the word "Stolen" from cards lost or stolen has been redacted on the page - very weird.

What would you suggest? I am happy to ignore them but would a token payment be worth my time? I seriously dont want to have to be paying these parasites a penny.

so you applied as got a credit card through experian with HBOS 

it looks like what link have transferred on to their headed paper is enforceable, but no real proof it came from HBOS , that could be someone elses agreement they have simple gotten out of their filing cabinet and typed you details on. as a reconstructed agreement  .

sit on your hands await a letter of claim.

as for MBNA its too blurred

Looked up the agreement and the dates are correct so I guess they have me on that one. What information is required within the agreement to make this enforceable? I would have thought something with my given credit limit would be required.

Il rescan the MBNA agreement, even from the original the text is way too small to read well!

I would imagine a CCJ will come for sure on the first.

should I ignore until they force my hand or shall I offer a token payment?

as i've said before, they have to abide by the pre action protocol first and send a letter of claim.

stop panicking and get reading threads here.

thats not all they will need to provide.

Hi all,

Just a quick q. I am responding to a LOC from TM Legal who are acting on behalf of ACI who are on behalf of Perch.

yep. they are all simply trading names of perch to try and scam people into thinking their debt is going up some kind to mystical legal chain...which is BS.

all dca's pull these stunts and have done since the late 1970's
