    • Just to cover yourself, you should write them a letter in response telling them that you are rejecting their offer. That they know full well that their insurance is an attempt to limit or exclude liability contrary to section 57 Consumer rights act and is a secondary contract contrary to section 72.  By the way was the offer made without prejudice or in confidence or anything? Maybe you could post up their offer here please
    • "Dear HR, I refer to my correspondence of *date* in which I challenged xxx, copy attached. Clearly this was a grievance, and yet does not seem to have been heard under the grievance procedure. I am exceptionally dismayed that this 'review'. which never took place, seems to be being used as a criteria in redundancy selection proceedings. As this is time critical, please advise asap."            
    • Just to update, received a revised offer of £75 from P2G after they got my LOC last Friday. They stated that because it was not insured this would be their final offer. Looks like we are going to court.

    • 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 all

As i am from scotland and needed an english address to send my court papers to as i want to claim through english courts for my £5264 the bos have bled from my account over the past years i have found a company i will use to set up my english address it is LondonPresence.com who will set up and address for you and forward your mail as and when it comes for £20.00 per month seems easy enough to set up and believe me it has to be for me to use, but i am still prepared to go down to an english court to defend myself if i have to (she says polishing her boxing gloves).

C mon BOS pay up i`ll give you an eXtra hankie to wipe up all those eXtra tears. Hope this has been some help

Hi,Dizzy,

 

How far are you with your claim ? I have already won one small claim against BOS and have a court return date of 13th March for my first Summary Cause against them. They phoned me on my return date first time round, hope they do the same again. Still got about £5,115.00 to claim, I think I'll go the same route as you with the English address.

 

Best wishes with your claim.

 

Regards.

 

Scott.

Hi,

I am in Scotland but claimed against BOS using Carlisle Court with an English mailing address.

 

Bos paid up 2 days after acknowledging the claim........my next two claims against them have now been posted to the Court:)

 

Using the Enlish system is easy and for a large amount far quicker.

To get BOS to pay up you will have to file court papers, but after that they seem to pay out quickly.

Carlisle is as close as you can get when you live in Scotland.........but far form the head office of the bank!

Hello - please help! I am in Northern Ireland and everything with my claim against Halifax has been going well until I hit this "address in England or Wales" snag. Do you think it would be worth trying to get an address through the route described above? My concern is that if my claim goes to court, I'll have to fly to England. I tried using the Small Claims Court here in Belfast but their limit is 2000 GBP and I'd have to agree to abandon the excess, which totals more than 800 GBP (and rising by the day).

 

At the moment I've made an appointment with a solicitor but would prefer to keep the whole thing online and simple.

 

Any advice would be really appreciated!

 

Thanks so much
