    • There's a thread somewhere about someone sending the baillifs against Wizzair that is quite hilarious. I would love to see someone do the same to Ryanair. Question is, should you be the one to take that role. You are entitled to the £220, if your flight was from the UK. If it was TO the UK I suppose it is more of a grey area... though the airlines I know have been using £220 as standard. Not that surprising for Ryanair, the worst cheapskates in the universe, to go for the lower amount, and if you forward this to the CEO he will probably have a jolly good laugh and give his accountants a verbal bonus. After all he's the one who said and I paraphrase "F*** our customers, they'll fly with us again anyway". While we would all love to see Ryanair get wooped in court again, I have to join my fellow posters in thinking it's not worth the hassle for (hypothetically) £7 and not sure it will expedite the payment either. It's already an achievement that you got them to accept to pay.

    • 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.

Hi

 

I know this is peanuts but it's the principal.

 

At Christmas I bought one or two things from Studio Cards. In December I owed £24 and put the statement on one side intending to pay it all off in one go as it was so small. (same old story)

 

Come February, arggggggggggh, I forgot about it, they had put two months 'admin' charges of £20 each month and now my £24 has been trippled in 2 months.

 

I wrote to Studio Cards telling than that I considered this unlawful and enclosed a cheque for the amount I acually owed and said I considered this to be final settlement of my account (as I am challenging a bank on another forum). Received a letter back today to say they still consider that I owe them £42 (including interest).

 

Am I right in refusing to pay this rediculous admin charge and should I threaten to take them to court or do I pay it and then claim it back?

 

Help would be appreciated.

I had the same problem so after seaking advice from another forum where somebody from there customer services was a member advised me to phone them and explain that i hadn't recieved an invoice to make a payment according to it they have a habit of forgetting to send them out and then adding admin charges.

 

I prompty made a call to them and was then told that my admin charges were wiped and that a new statement would be send out with a payment slip which was then sent out and my statement shows admin charges credited.

Peanuts to them maybe, but not to you. :-x

 

You certainly can claim these back. I did (for my wife) and so have others. Pop down to the Other Institutions section on the main page of the forum and look up these three threads; they should pretty much tell you what you need to know.

trouble with them taking you to court is that they will have already tarnished your credit file by that stage and cleaning it up is a pain in the ass (trust me on that ). Easiest way may just to pay and then claim the charges (plus interest) back.

 

That is unless you offered the payment as full and final payment? In which case if they cashed it you can also argue that angle.

Spoke to Studio Cards on the telephone told them I hadn't received the January statement and they cancelled that admin fee, so I only have to pay one admin fee of £22.

 

I still think it is ludicrous to charge that for sending out a piece of paper but, hey that's life.

power to the people....

well done.

it's amazing where a bit of advice and knowledge get you.

you could probably argue the other admin charge, but if your happy with the outcome, then hey who are we to say otherwise.

WELL DONE GARDENUT. thats another victory for the C A G.

Please note that although my advice is offered, you should consult your legal representative before taking ANY action.

 

 

have a nice day !!

Well I would still claim back the other charge .... £22 + the service charge they add is better in your pocket than theirs ... it also makes the cost of stuff you bought at Xmas double!!

Couldn't agree more.

 

Obviously, it is your call, but I'd call them back and tell them you want it all back. I very politely asked for over £360 and got it all.
