    • Appreciate your response BankFodder. I am aware that the Consumer Rights Act does not apply in my case as I operate a business and, instead, should rely on the Supply of Goods and Services Act and Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. I was a little unsure as, when I read the judgement of Hashim Farooq v EVRi Parcelnet, July 2023 I presumed that,  as Farooq had supplied laptops through Amazon,  the Consumer Rights Act would not apply but the judge refers to it in Section 22 as to why the claimant should be given judgment. Have I read this correctly? The reason for not offering full reimbursement was because I did not take out insurance for the full value.  In regards to correspondence from my customer,  I have emails from her in my timeline stating that she was waiting all week and that no one attempted delivery.  I have no doubt that she will be willing to corroborate the events with a written statement.
    • When you post information here you will have to post it in single file multipage PDF format. Follow the upload link. However, it would be more helpful if you could simply answer the questions that we have put to you and we can deal with paperwork afterwards if we think we need it.  
    • I was trying to post all the paperwork that I have, namely facebook ad, messages between the seller and my son etc . But I'm getting the message that the files are to large. 
    • First of all please can you tell us the name of the seller, something about the van – age/year, mileage, price paid. How far away is the seller from where your son lives? Who do you take it to for this inspection? Are they prepared to give you a written list of the things that they found? This is very important and you may well have to get an independent inspection from somebody such as the AA. This will cost you some kind of feedback we expect that we will be able to help you get it back. I would say that if you have to bring a court claim – which is likely – then your chances of success are better than 95% but the difficulty might be enforcing the judgement against the seller. We will have to no more in order to give you better advice. Does it have an MOT? What is the date of it and who gave it the MOT? I suggest that you start taking pictures of all of the defects that you can find.   Also I am going to say that I believe that you came over from Facebook where you were already informed that we would need at least all of the information which I have requested above. It will save a lot of time and effort for everybody if you can simply come up with the things that we ask without too much delay
    • My autistic son brought a van from a private seller. ( there was 5 other cars on his drive and another van, plus loads of machanic tools in his hallway,  so he probably is a unofficial dealer).  He gave the van a once over, he checked for any warning lights that might be on, there was none. He checked underneath for any rust etc, it all looked fine. The body was rough, but you'd expect that for the age of the van.  He got his brothers machanic to give it a pre mot check, as the van was old so he expected it to have a few problems. The van is a deathtrap, the seller had blacked out all the warning lights that were on the dash,  and I mean all.  He had also painted some kind of black stuff on the underside, to hide all the damage there.   My son drove it for over 2 hours to get it home. The machanic said he's surprised my son is still alive, and an untrained eye would not of seen what the seller had done.  Iv asked the seller for a refund and for him to have the van back, but he is refusing. Is there anything we can do.

    • 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.

oh, I see, I've read your posts.

OK, it looks like I am turning up tomorrow. I received another email:

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately we will not be crediting your account but will be sending you a cheque within 7 working days by registered post.

In days of electronic bank transfers they want to send e a cheque...in 7 days...aaah, bless

No - the amount sued for is the amount. I would tell the court that a last-minute offer has been made of XXX and ask the court for a continuance. At THIS point, ask the judge whether in the light of their ongoing brinkmanship you can seek further costs. You've noting to lose, but do not say it is settled until the money is in your bank account.

I have emailed the poor girl who has to deal with me:

 

Well, it looks like I am turning up in court tomorrow.

I will be sure to underline to Judge Allen that you have had since mid January to deal with this matter and now you can't even organise a credit to the account or electronic transfer. I will also ask the judge whether in the light of your company's ongoing brinkmanship I could seek further costs. I've noting to lose, until the money is in my bank account.

 

You want me to drop the case because you (and excuse me, who are you?) promised (aaah, bless) to send a me a cheque. In 7 days.

Please do not make me laugh.

 

It is either electronic transfer or an account credit by tomorrow, 10 am

If your company's hapless solicitor seeks me out tomorrow on the steps of the court, there will be a price for my wasted time (day off work), the hassle, the irritation. £100.

 

I will also email Mr Dunstone with this sorry saga and advise him how his company is wasting money by shoddy customer service and poor legal advice. I will be sure to detail the names of people who contributed to this parody; indifferent Kelly L., obnoxious Colin V., etc.

 

I also happen to have fax numbers of all major news desks - someone is bound to be interested.

 

So please, convince the decision makers; it is ultimately in their best interest to agree to my conditions.

The deadline is 27th of June, 10 am

 

I do not apologise for the tone of this email. I am done with polite, diplomatic, business-like missives. Your company does not deserve my good manners.

 

Ta-daaa

*takes a bow*

 

faceless beaurocrats- i hates them!

A few basics my friend, stay focused and keep it very simple, narrow the issues. The judge isn,t interested in crappy service, avoid the temptation to start a outburst of your feelings. The judge will get bored if nothing else.

I have attended a hearing, the CPW has not. The judge was distinctly not amused at their actions. He has listened to my complaint about my costs (day off from work, composing letters, etc) but has adjourned the case for a fortnight.

Interesting point; the judge wasn't sure if the county court has a jurisdiction in Data Protection Act breach cases. He asked me for a copy of the Act and the Administration of Justice Act (as I argued that CPW breached it by harassing me- section 40, point 1)- so if you are going to court, do not count on the judge having the relevant legislation to hand!

Thanks for all your advice, good folks of CAG! :D

What a surprise! I can't advise you on the jurisdiction issue (for English Law) but you cannot take anything for granted - you are expected to provide photocopies of all relevant Act sections to support your claim, (and any relevant case law). They're not the fount of all knowledge, you have to provide them with it too! :D

well, guess what, the craphone craphouse promised, on the eve of the court hearing that they will send me a cheque within a week. I took a day off from work, have wasted my time, dragged myself to a courthouse, sat around for an hour and a half, just to ask the judge for a continuance..... and the bar-stewards haven't paid up!!

What can you do!? It fees so frustrating to deal with these faceless, useless, two-faced sham of the outfit.

Just turn it to your advantage. When the continuance expires, and the case calls in court, simply tell the judge their offer was simply a stalling tactic and you now seek judgement. IF CW attempt to head off the action yet again, tell them they cannot be trusted to settle when they say, and your additional expense has added £XX to the bill.

Hi Joa, good luck and keep us updating:);)

Mr D is useless....u r right:)))

 

I received a letter from CW Lifeline insurance people via email with refusal to pay £195 back for the insurance i wasn't aware of paying(never used to check my statements:-o ).When i bought my phone it was part of free offer and when i cancel the contract a year later, they still kept charging me...

 

As they said i should've cancelled it by myself...i even didn't know i had it...

 

I emailed them a Prelim letter, and giving them 14 days to refund...:D

 

 

Have a great day and let me know how your claim is going.....Good luck;)

if they have offered any sort of settlement sounds like they are aware they are on shallow ground...i am about to begin serving papers fro their fraudulent actions it seems imdemic within this company and i really think it is time it ceased and they had their trading licence revoked i am awaiting trading standards report before i finnish with my findings then i will leave a report in here for people to contact me see my thread patrickq1

Pat, they declined a refund and in 2 weeks refunded. I had received 7 letters from tham and had to email them back asking to stop sending me those refund confirmation letters as i had enough.

 

I was sending it for the attention of CEO...and emailing him of course:))))

 

Now i am after Vodafone:)) so if anybody knows Vodafone CEO email, or his/her name only, please let me know.

 

My story with Carphone was very mis-sold..they emailed me all thoughts of letters with refusal...Do not give up:))!!

U'll get what you've asked!

Before this bandwagon rolls out of control, there was NOTHING fraudulent in the charging for insurance. It was agreed to by BOTH parties, and an admission of not checking statements or cancelling it at the cessation of contract means the consumer has to prove there has been an irresponsible action. Unfortunately, it is the consumer who is in the wrong here.

 

Any prospect of a refund is being given NOT because of any admission of guilt, but customer relations - so it would be wrong to assume that any offer is a sign of weakness. If it came to court - assuming they were willing to contest it - would be covered under contract law and the consumer would lose. Sorry.

OK, update on my saga: 9 months down the line, after writing to Charles Dunstone on [email protected] (this seems a real email!) and copying the rant to Otelo, the very next day I have received a reply from Victoria Matthews, Customer Liaison Executive. Once you get that high, things start moving at a warp speed. Heaps of apologies and full compensation as if by magic. Great! The only shame is that it takes so long and it is so hard to get through the frontline thickos. I had a nasty pleasure of naming all staff involved so far with brief description of their pompous, self-righteous and downright idiotic ways of making the matters worse. One lady in particular, who was so bad in her job, that thanks to her, I got compensation of double the amount I have asked for (thank you, Kay!)

So my advice is; go to the top as soon as you can. Make initial moves at the bottom level but after a month- start firing at those who actually have power of making decisions and who possess brains (as opposed to the customer services trolls). Be scrupulously polite and un-emotional. Present your facts and evidence, be succint and professional as nobody has time for froth-in-the-mouth rantings. And come back here to gloat :D

TalkTalk get their contracts [Edit] and then breach them with impunity and the only way to tackle this menace is through the courts. These sharks should not have been given the authority to trap customers with any longterm contract. I think the whole nation should campaign against this but I don't think I will be around to see the changes!
