    • You're right of course, just jarring when an actual man child is knocking on my door so close to the end. Anyway, I'll keep this thread updated if ever any exciting does actually happen. Thanks again.
    • Yes I think you are right. I have to say I think most people would be honest and you would be unlucky to be with somebody who was going to rip you off
    • Would this be OK to send or is it too much detail already ?   "In response to your letter dated  xxx Intention of Prosecution reference xxxxxx I would like to advise that no collision / accident took place at the given date / time / location. There was however an altercation with the driver of a commercial vehicle who punched and kicked my car, verbally abused me when I stopped and acted in a distinctive threatening and aggressive manner. I advised I would be reporting him to his company for threatening behaviour and vandalism for punching and kicking my car whilst driving past in the road. When I tried to take a photo of his number plate, he came towards me in a further aggressive and threatening manner, so I decided to retreat into my car and lock the doors before he could reach me, as I was frightened he may assault me. I drove off and when I checked my phone later , the photo was regrettably unusable, as the camera couldn’t focus properly when I rushed back to my car. So I decided not to report him for his threatening behaviour and actions, as at the time I believed he would be untraceable anyway. So I am not sure if the accusations against me are in relation to this altercation, but no actual collision took place at this time , date and location as alleged in your letter"

    • They have been sending messageslike " Do you want a refund or not"  which ive said im at work just try and avoid their childish obstuctive replies as ive had enough of them but i plan on going up tomorrow , so my question is,  they have to give me a refund dont they, they can not bargain or refuse the refund if they havent checked the phone first ? Their previous messages have said they want to check the phone first before a refund is given and i think theyll try this tomorrow as they have argued all through this .... If that happens can i just walk away and then send the letter of Particulars which is due next week ? Edit :   Just for the record the phone hasnt been used since buying its been put in a protective bag and put in a draw , its in the same condition as i bought it

    • 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.

I would just like to add, that whilst I understand people are frustrated and tempers are short, insults to team members are not helpful in getting things sorted. Please bear with us for a short while longer.

 

CAG only exists because of the people - not because of the people who run it (I'm sure you can understand what I mean)

 

If the people who run it seriously think we (The CFC) wouldn't be upset if you give us something (the Cabot sub-forum) and then take it away, then that's probably an oversight on your part. There are 8 'members' of the original CFC - have been for over a year, and still we all remain working hard on exposing Cabot for who they really are. Me personaly? Ive dedicated countless hours in 'reasearch' exposing some of their unlawful practices, but I'm not alone - all of us have put in countless hours.

 

I'm sure Cabot are very happy that they've been allowed to drift out of the limelight and merge (to be lost) with every other DCA.

 

As far as the sub-forum for each DCA argument goes, I've been saying for a year it should happen. From what I can tell, the reason why that will never happen is because it'll be too much like hard work for the Mods on here to maintain.

 

The Cabot sub-forum was a complete success - but that appears to count for nothing....what a crying shame that is. I do not doubt that BF and the others work tirelessly to keep this site up and running, but that doesn't mean I think they're 100% right all of the time.

 

Lastly, I cannot understand why the Mods on here are so happy to lose (from CAG) people who have been so dedicated, hardworking, helpful to others, useful, interesting, supportitve and, above all, a royal pain in the butt to the DCA's who operate outside of the law.

You should actually be congratulating the 24 volunteers who worked extremely hard throughout Satuday evening and most of Sunday trying to rescue the situation and with some brilliant luck and a very good webmaster, managed to have the forum broadly working again by Monday morning - and from that point of view, I can promise you that at the moment, CAG exists only because of the people who run it. (I hope that you can understand what I mean.)

 

I'm not saying I'm not thankful (because I am), I'm just saying that many of us have worked extremely hard too...I didn't want that fact lost either.

 

I hope the Cabot sub-forum will be reinstated (as well as some others for the bigger DCA's) as I'd hate to see so many hours of intense hard work tossed by the wayside.

 

And BF, I have said many times before, and on more than one forum, that you should be knighted for all that you've done- so anything I've said re sub-forums is nothing personal.

it would be helpful if someone could just confirm what the differences are between Cabot and others

 

Thanks

Paul,

 

I (or should I say 'we') now know there is little or no point trying to argue the toss any further, a decision has already been made. If you had been able to take a few minutes out of your busy schedule to look into the information the Cabot sub-forum contained, then you wouldn't have to ask the above question.

 

CAG has now lost some really really important members, and there are going to be a lot of other members who are far worse of because of it. I'm not saying anyone's better than anyone else, but some people have a lot more knowledge (re DCA's and their unlawful practices) than you'll ever know.

 

I'll just leave you with one last question; Why did you give us the Cabot sub-forum in the first place?

 

...Only one winner in all of this...Cabot Financial

 

Nuff said
