    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.

    • 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.

Currys Refusing to Refund Over Item Never Received

Hi guys,

 

I pre-ordered an iPhone 14 pro MAX from Curry’s online on 10.9.22 with an expected shipping date of 16.9.22. I paid with a Currys gift card I purchased via debit card (which is why I haven’t been able to do a chargeback, I guess it was a rookie mistake buying a gift card).

 

On 19.9.22 I was sent (without my consent) an iPhone 14 PRO (not pro max). When I realized it was the wrong phone via my Currys account, I immediately called Curry’s and said that it’s the wrong phone and they arranged for DPD to cancel the delivery and send it back to curry’s (I never had the phone in my possession at any moment).

Since then, Curry’s’ customer service team have been either lying to me by saying either “we haven’t received your iPhone 14 pro yet” or “we have received the iPhone 14 pro and are just waiting for the iPhone 14 pro max to be shipped to you”.

 

Most recently, last Monday, I was told that they’re waiting for the iPhone 14 pro to be sent back to them as it hasn’t yet.. what ??

 

I then asked them for a refund as I felt I’d never get the phone by just waiting and then they started claiming the item has gotten lost in transit and that I need to wait for them to verify it with DPD.

 

What kind of bs is this? I’m unable to get a refund for an item that not only I never received but one that I never ordered and was sent instead of what I actually ordered?

 

Is there anything that can be done quickly? Or is my only choice filing a long civil suit against them?

 

Thanks to any helpers!

there should be no reason why you cant chargeback on the giftcard transaction to your bank?

they should be able to understand the issue.

 

have you tried?

 

as for litigation, you'd need to send a letter of claim first

You should certainly try the chargeback and see what the bank says. However at the same time, I would begin the process of sending a letter of claim to Currys.

According to you they supplied you with a telephone which did not match its description. I suppose you didn't think to take a photograph of what you received.

According to you Currys make the arrangements for the return of the item and so even though they were in breach of contract in respect of the item they sent you, they would be liable in any event for the failure of the delivery arrangement.

Assuming you won't get a chargeback, I'm afraid that you may well be looking at six months before you get your money. It will be longer if Currys decide to hold out and actually go to court which is most unlikely.

Is there a tracking number which shows that the item was sent but never delivered?

So I should try getting a chargeback regardless for the gift card then? Even if it was purchased via edenred?

 

I never received the phone!!

 

I ordered a 14 pro max, then got an email saying it’s not available in the colour I ordered and that they’d send it in purple.

Then I saw on my currys account that they sent a purple 14 pro (not pro max). 

 

DPD sent me an email saying the phone is in my local depot.  I called currys to tell them I don’t want anything to do with this phone and want it sent back without ever touching it,  they called DPD and DPD sent it from their local depot back to curry’s (I.e. I never received the phone).

 

The problem is that I never had anything to do with the phone that supposedly got lost as it never came to my address but the depot before being sent back at the instruction of currys.

shouldn't matter where you purchased the gift card from, try a chargeback, if it works then the gift card seller and curries should argue it out amongst themselves. worth a try IMHO.

Thanks for the answer!

Sent Monzo a detailed chargeback request, hope it’ll work.

Im trying to send them a letter before court claim on Resolver.co.uk

 

The template I found online is saying the goods did not match their description under the consumer rights act 2015.

 

I never received the item AND the item that I was supposedly sent was not the item I ordered according to my Currys account on their website. How would it be phrased in such a case? It technically didn’t match the description but I never even received the item to begin with!

 

PS. I should mention that they gave a £100 refund initially when they sent the wrong iPhone on the ground that the iPhone 14 pro that they sent was £100 cheaper than the 14 pro max I actually ordered (they sent it immediately when they sent the phone, showing they intentionally sent a different phone than what I ordered). I mentioned it in the chargeback claim for the sake of accuracy.

If you are going to get help from resolver then you should stick with them rather than starting to engage the resources of two organisations at the same time. Everything we do here is free of charge and the people who help here do it out of goodwill – and for nothing.
The people who run resolver get paid.
If you are getting help from somebody else then stay with them. Otherwise you will get confused and will get confused and there are other people on this forum who need our help

Oh I’m sorry about that, I wasn’t aware that resolver does the same things, I just thought it was a website used to contact the companies directly to file complaints.. I also didn’t know that Resolver gets paid..

 

Shall I just close the claim as unresolved on resolver and email customer support instead? I’d rather be able to ask questions on this forum than use a service as I’d prefer to know what I’m actually doing

I'm afraid that we can't advise you on what to do about resolver. If you have started to get them working for you then it seems a shame to waste their energy as well as ours.

We should stick to one horse and as you seem to be well on your way with the resolver and stay with them.

I'm very sorry that you are dealing with Facebook here. We are a serious consumer rights forum and if you aren't sure what resolver does and if you are sure what we do then I think you should investigate before you start taking action

Would I be unable to ask questions on the forum for things that I wouldn’t find elsewhere? (Eg. If my chargeback request is approved, what does one do with Currys? Do you just inform them of the chargeback or just cut contact completely)


I wouldn’t want to waste anyone’s time, just confused about the whole situation and trying to do my best to understand what to do, that’s all 😕

Resolver is useless.

 

If you get your money back and it's not reversed then yours is not the next move

Alright fair enough. 
Currys said it’ll take 14-21 working days to ‘investigate’ this issue before sending a refund. I’ve already filed for a chargeback
 

I know it may be a naive question but - should I put the chargeback on hold and wait or keep it in place in case they try to stall? 
 

Also, would telling Currys that I filed for a chargeback help in resolving the issue faster or will they not care or will it harm my chances of the chargeback going through?

no dont tell them.

you can hold the CB if you are confident you'll get the money.

no harm in keeping your bank informed.

they might bring pressure to bear or already have.

Looks like the bank hasn’t approved the chargeback request as they said that I’ve received the product I purchased (the gift card) and what Curry’s is doing isn’t connected to the purchase of the card.

 

too bad 😕
