    • So as I stated, I posted my letter off but over 2 weeks later I've had a visit from one of their reps. I didn't indulge him in any conversation, and I just stated that any such debts are statute-barred and closed the door on him. I was hoping they'd take notice of the letter. Where do I go from here? Thanks
    • I apologise if I was being unclear. Where it currently stands is that they will have it repair, placing scaffolding in our garden for 5 days. They have moved fast, but we will still have to postpone our contractors, meaning, we won't necessarily have the work done in time for the wedding and therefore will incur additional expenses for either a marquee or a wedding venue. They are vehemently against having any kind of liability in any regard but continue repeating that they are legally entitled to use our garden for their repairs (I believe this is true unless the work can be carried out using a cherry picker). The neighbour seems either indifferent or oblivious to the fact they can't reach all of the side of the roof from the space where they can place the scaffolding. They have asked their roofer of choice about using a cherry picker but the roofer has said it wasn't possible. It's not clear whether the roofer doesn't want to use a cherry picker or whether there is an issue with it. They have told us it is a problem that we are installing a gazebo as it will prevent them to access their roof from our garden in the future?!?  
    • Couldn't agree more, really wanted a true ruling on this just for the knowledge but pretty sure the Judge made some decisions today that he didn't need to?.. maybe they all go this way on the day? We hear back so few post court dates I'm not sure. Each Judge has some level of discretion. Their sol was another Junior not even working at their Firm, so couldn't speak directly for them! that was fortunate I think because if she would have rejected in court better, she might have  been able to force ruling, we are at that point!, everybody there!!, Judge basically said openly that he can see everything for Judgement!!!  but she just said "I can speak to the claimant and find out!" - creating the opportunity for me to accept. I really think the Judge did me a favor today by saying it without saying it. Knowing the rep for the sol couldn't really speak to the idea in the moment. Been to court twice in a fortnight, on both occasions heard 4 times with others and both of my claims, the clerk mention to one or both parties "Letting the Judge know if you want to have a quick chat with each other"! So, it appears there's an expectation of the court that there is one last attempt at settling before going through the door. So, not a Sol tactic, just Court process!. Judge was not happy we hadn't tried to settle outside! We couldn't because she went to the loo and the Judge called us in 10 minutes early! - another reason to stand down to allow that conv to happen. Stars aligned there for me I think. But yeh, if the sol themselves, or someone who can make decisions on the case were in court, I would have received a Judgement against today I think. She was an 'advocate'.. if I recall her intro to me correctly.. So verbal arguments can throw spanners in Court because Plinks dogs outsource their work and send a Junior advocate.

    • 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.

Right was wondering if this is in the right place first off, as can't seem to find anything about general food retail issues on here?? i know the sites more for big issues (retail) and bank charges but i need to know if i'm making a mountain out of a mole hill with this issue or if you think i should be as angry and sickened by the issue as i am!

 

I'm not going to go into great details in this 1st post until i know that its worth telling the story to get some advice and your thoughts on it, all i'm saying is its about a chicken and a chickens head :|

 

just delete this thread if theres no interest or its not something that is really spoken about on this site, just don't want to embarass myself again, liike i did on a t.v program this morning :-(

I have on many occassions complained successfully to food retailers, from reclaiming the cost of a coat which ripped on one of their counters to complaining about appalling service (got a huge bunch of flowers, £50 vouchers and a food hamper)

right basically what happened was i purchased a chicken from my local co-op cooked it, craved it, and myself, hubby, kids, brother and niece ate it, later on when i was stripping it for the cats, i noticed there was something inside it, i thought i'd cooked it with giblets inside (as i have done this before :oops: ) i then pulled the chicken apart and it wasn't giblets but a chickens head complete with a massive beak feathers and eyes, needless to say i was shocked first thing i thought was "oh my god we've all just eaten the chicken how do i tell everyone" i pulled myself together and took the chicken and baking tray back to the co-op explained what had happened the supervisor ran off with her hand over her mouth at the sight. anyway the upshot was i got new baking tray there and then (which is crap compared to my old one), and told to phone the NHS helpline, which i did (because i over cook everything they explained that we should all be o.k, and we were) i then got a phone call saying that the chicken would have to be sent to the supplier for tests????? and that the co-op offered me a full refund, which next time i'm in shopping just ask for the manager who will sort the refund out! i think this is awful that i have to belittle myself next tiem in go shopping and ask for my refund (its a really small town that i live in where everyone knows each other, this is why i feel like this) i can't see why they couldn't send out a voucher! since then 10 days ago i have received a 3 line letter from head office, saying they will keep me informed of the chicken tests :-? i phoned head office yesterday asking for the suppliers name which they wouldn't give me and said if i hadn't heard anything by next week phone back, i can't believe i'm being treated like this!! the head was placed in the chicken its not an accident surely because it was a "co-op chicken" they should be dealing with me and and supplier.

 

dollies: sorry i wasn't on t.v i was speaking on a t.v topical talk show (On the phone) and was shot down in flames by 1 of the spokespersons saying they couldn't see anything wrong with the head/chicken isssue and "did i knot realise the amount of guts etc that use to be in the chicken" i answered with " the chicken didn't say complete with head on the wrapper" i was then told "in the older days people use to kill, gut etc chickens and then eat them" i never got to reply cause it was like "thanks for your call" and i was cut off.

 

after the event i emailed 5 papers none have got back in touch (i understand before any one says about "its not the end of the world etc etc" but i've seen the worlds biggest crisp, funniest shape potatoe etc and just think this is a bit omg thats disgusting.

 

what i want to know is is this now exceptable in this day and age, or should i stand my ground??

OMG!!!

I can fully understand how you are feeling

I would of freaked completely out!

If the bag didn't say it would contain the chickens head (and who would want it?!) then it shouldn't of been there! I would contact enviromental health

They will know if you have a good cause for complaint from the health point of view. You can guarantee if they get onto CO-OP the attitude will soon change.

ewwww that is sooooooooo gross

I dont buy chickens with giblets in cos the whole thing makes me gip

but I honestly can't see me ever buying a whole one again now.

omg you're not going to believe this, I after phoning and phoning the co-op head office received a letter from them and the suppliers the chicken came from, the co-op letter said the usually "sorry about this crap, heres £30 in co-op vouchers and hope you still continue shopping with us" the suppliers letter says "no way is it possibly for this to of happened and basically i must of placed the head in there myself" :shock: needless to say i'm totally fuming, cause everone has a stock of chicken heads (complete with feathers and eyes) in there frigde don't they!!!!!!!!!! i have since been in touch with our local enviromental health who say that they will look into ot for me, but because the co-op throw away the chickens head and never sent it to the suppliers theres not much they can do. I do have pictures a letter from the co-op what more proof do they need? i'm just so angry that i am getting accused of doing this. I just think its wrong what ever happened to "the customers always right"??

 

I live in a really small coastel village and theres a right who-ha because tesco's wants to open in the town, well hope it does now and co-op has to close :mad:
