    • Well I wouldn't have known if my Booking.com listing owning friend hadn't come up trumps - so really the thanks should go to him. Anyway, glad it all worked out OK and you don't have to kip in the local bus station waiting room 😉

    • Hi Dave. This morning I had another message from the owner, saying she's rung Booking.com again to ask them to sort the cancellation. And I just took a call from what looks like Booking.com's UK number. They offered us alternative accommodation but I had already found something on the Booking.com site two days ago. So we aren't homeless next weekend and Booking.com said we can invoice them after our stay finishes, so they can refund us the difference in cost between the original booking and the new one. Without your information on how property owners deal with Booking.com, I'm not sure the owner lady would have sorted this, so a big thank you from us. HB PS An email has just arrived from Booking.com. They confirm that the payment due won't be taken from my card - this was a concern obviously. I checked both my cards yesterday and I didn't make a payment from either of them when I booked. I couldn't remember when the problem happened because I made the booking a while back.
    • It's not for exactly £300 I just rounded the figure l. I don't know why I didn't respond to previous letter I suppose I thought If I ignored it it would go away.    I have uploaded all the docs I can find, I have defended the claim and will get a CPR sent to Morality Law today.    Claim Form.pdf
    • So as predicted relieved dq from Overdale.  Checked MCOL transaction history. Last entry is defence received.  Am I reading that correctly?   my understanding is I I ignore and wait for courts to send one they have also ticked mediation box. Not sure what can be mediated. He is unemployed

    • 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.

No they didn't budge. We couldn't go today - the claim is on my son's account so it will have to be on a day when we can both go to the court. The court is less than 1/4 mile from where we live, it's just a matter of us both being available. Pobabaly tomorrow, definitely this week.

interesting story - Ge Capital are a slippery bunch - my involvement with them has resulted in a nil response and I'm waiting for for LBA date to come around (26/2) before I go to court - different situation, but same principles...bet they can't find the opriginal agreement as it was with FNTF, and transferred to GE.

 

good luck - I'm watching with interest (no pun intended)

Steve;)

Halifax - paid out without getting to court - £250 WON - no intention of going, stated too costly!!

Halifax no 2 account - paid out without a fight - (by mistake, £1650 - should have been £1200 - had to pay some back)

Quick update - claim deemed served on GE Money on 21 February with deadline for response 7 March. As far as court can tell (they have a backlog!) GE Money have not replied. Request for Judgement going in tomorrow (Thursday 15th). One step nearer....

GE Money say they are going to defend the claim in court - no surprises there then. However, got a phone call form their solicitors (Salans) asking for a 28-day extension so that we can negotiate a settlement.

 

We have agreed to that (after all we are very reasonable people) but left them in no doubt that a negotiated settlement would involve us getting all our money. ;)

Final offer received today with usual confidentiallity agreement and propsed joint notice to the court. Wrote and told them we would accept the offer, wouldn't sign the agreement and that WE would inform the court the matters were settled once we received cleared funds.

 

Final stretch in sight!

Hi all, I have just sent SAR to Sarah Wainwright at GE Capital for my Evans and Dorothy Perkins store cards. So I am right in the beginning here, however, I forgot to send recorded delivery:( , do you think it will matter? Also the SAR I sent was the same one I sent to the Halifax Bank as I presume it is the same template for store cards as for the bank?

Would someone please tell me if that was right?

Anyway, fingers crossed, I will keep you all informed of my progress, and look forward to hearing from you all:D

i would send it again recorded as they will more than likely deny receiving this - which will delay your claim timetable. You were right to use the same letters as i have done the same- good luck!

prob best to cancel the first cheque and make reference to the first letter and cheque in your next letter and include a new cheque.

 

no problems for asking- we all like to help others get their money back and beat the banks at their own game. Good luck and get ready for the long wait! :)

Alternatively you could wait a couple of days and then ring Sarah Wainwright to ask if she has received it via the customer services general number 0870 124 2446 or the Trent House switchboard 0113 280 7080
