    • Thank you. I expect that @dx100uk will be along soon to give advice. Meanwhile, I really wonder whether the default date – as being the starting point of the six years – something which has been decided in law. It has always seemed to me to be extremely unfair. According to the limitation act, the six year period begins from the date on which the cause of action accrued. This normally means that the breach of contract occurred. Section 6 of the limitation act says that in terms of loans, the cause of action begins on the date that the debt was "demanded". Over the past two years this has come to mean the date that the default notice was issued – but I have to say I don't find that very satisfactory. If you received demands for payment before then then I don't see why section 6 shouldn't refer to that date. Did you not receive any correspondence at all in 2017/2018? What was the value of the original loan – and how much you pay off? I see that there was some kind of instalment agreement. Tell us about that. See what my colleague @dx100uk says but anyway, if I were you I would send off an SAR immediately both to the claimant and also to the original creditor. It costs you nothing. There is no downside. Get in the post straightaway with some kind of utility bill establishing your identity. You can even include a copy of the claim form as well as proof of your identity

    • Thank you. I'm going to say that the photographs really don't say very much and once again it's a real shame that you didn't take lots of photographs of all the issues including the Windows and the state of the inside of the room. You can certainly bring a claim here if you want and we will help you but I'm really not sure of your chances of success. It sounds to me as if the manager you spoke to was dismissive and nothing was particularly agreed or admitted. If you want to bring a claim then I would start off by establishing a paper trail where you point out the things that were wrong and the fact that you discuss this with the duty manager who appeared to be dismissive. You could ask them then in general terms if they have any proposals to make. I think you're in weak position. I don't think you should start threatening them with legal action or anything at the moment and even if you did bring a legal action for the full amount I would probably advise you to negotiate a settlement of maybe 50% – if you're lucky – at mediation. Have you tried putting up Google reviews and reviews on trust pilot? This could also be a good way to start. I'm very sorry but when you deal with these kinds of issues then you need to collect evidence as quickly as possible. It is the first thing you always do when there is a poor hotel, a stone in your cornflakes or a motor accident. I'm afraid that you have to think this way and maybe it doesn't come naturally – but having run the consumer action group for 18 years, this is rather second nature. If you have any phone calls with them then you should read our customer services guide first and then confirm any admissions they might make in writing.

    • 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.

what makes you say that - full offer yesterday to one of the first to get that dispensed aq - so he's 6 days in front of you. that's not a guarantee of anything - just a gut feeling. i'll be here to hold your hand - either way! keep a good thought!

 

 

I always try to think happy thoughts lattie! However, I lost my faith in the legal system and solicitors when one of my friends was run over and killed by a lawyer who was over the drink drive limit 15 years ago. Somehow he avoided a jail sentence. I'm not one to bear grudges but I make the odd exception for the lowest forms of life.

 

Anyway, sorry about the tangent, nothing through the letterbox as yet. Nothing planned for a good few weeks, so they can take their time! I'm confident I'll get my money eventually!

 

Thanks for holding my hand by the way!

well lattie you were right! however, instead of the offer you predicted, i've been sent an allocation questionnaire. so I guess my district judge has decided not to dispense with the AQ. bugger. this is going to mean a whole lot more waiting time.

not necessarily - just fill it in - when's the deadline?

here's my standard aq stuff:

aq info:

Allocation Questionnaires - A guide to completion

this is your step by step completion guide -and here is:New strategy for Allocation Questionaires

and here is how to use it:

for section g of the n149 (section h on the n150), use the wording in blue on post #3 of new strategy link, and then attach draft order for directions - use wording on post #2 of new strategy link(the bit in blue) making sure to add your name and court claim number to all pages. simple as that. just follow the steps with these two minor additions. the draft order is just asking the judge to order both parties to lay out their wares within 14 days of him ordering it - so it shortens the length of the time to a court date - and as dg/hsbc/all banks don't want to do it - they will pay up by offer or just not file their aq in which case you also win.

 

on, the other front - of this two pronged thing - have you sent dg a breakdown of your charges - it is advisable to do that, as they always ask for one before they offer anything - so it saves a couple of days.

and unless your claim is for under 1500 and wouldn't incur the filing fee of 100, i suggest leaving it until the aq is nearly due before filing it - as dg have been coming in with offers just before the due date in several cases.

 

and now, i've got an idea for a letter - it's the same bog standard stuff - but start off with what we used to use when we used to call them before it was due - which is: I see we have been given an allocation questionaire to fill in. This seems like such a waste of time both for yourselves and for me - I am sure the courts would appreciate our settling this without their intervention and to that end, I would halt my claim as soon as I am offered and in receipt of £xxxx.xx. Obviously this will increase by £100 should I be forced to send in the Allocation Questionaire.

blah, blah, get the picture - same stuff as other letters - but press home that you are saving them further costs (assuming your claim is for more than £1500).

 

Sorry the mystic lat thing didn't work - really wanted you to get an offer - just remember - as always - you need to be pushing dg into an offer while waiting for court stuff to roll along. and as i've always said and it's in the stuff above - wait to file until the deadline is nearly upon you - i don't see the need to add 100 to the claim unless you have to.

ok?

The basis of the AQ is to give the District Judge enough information to allow him/her to allocate court time for your case. So they send out the AQ to both parties asking basic information about the case.

If you have received an AQ so will DG and you will both have had the same return date however DG have been commonly filing their AQ late. This would allow the District Judge to strike out their defence but more commonly the Judges are allowing them more time.

but when you ring the court and ask if they have/have not filed their aq - it gives you something to say in the nudge letter - and also, looks better for you - if you have complied with the deadline and they haven't - although it won't go to court so no one will know - but you can use their not filing as a reason to write and encourage them to make a move.
