    • Given the evidence you have provided it should hopefully be a formality, the WS is ready to go and their case is torpedoed below the waterline.
    • Hey @Rubixcube sorry that I am a bit late to the party but to look into your issues, could you explain in a bit more detail what happened? I did not know that either before you mentioned it, but it seems indeed that Booking.com holidays are just a mirror site for lastminute.com and therefore the exact same thing... Good to know because Last minute is an awful OTA. It actually doesn't seem to be a big secret. If you click the link below (which is the main link from booking.com home page, and has lastminute written in it!) you will see the slogan "Booking.com Powered by Last minute" on 3 separate areas at least within the same page! Just a moment... BOOKING-DP.LASTMINUTE.COM Anyway, do let us know what exactly happened and we can try and see who you should be claiming from.
    • post re submitted  we are quite secure with that. it's ok to it here  you need to formerly WRITE to BMW AND to the finance co. (who is?) and REJECT the car under your short term right to reject. 100's of threads here on Big Motoring World, and they scammed you out of a useless warranty too, you dont need it ever, CRA covers you for FREE. dx  
    • Hey there, as the plane went tech you are entitled to the £520 x2 compensation under EC261. This is a clear cut case. Just claim straight with Virgin. However you are not entitled to a full refund, since you were eventually flown to the final destination; of course that second flight should have been totally free of charge; if not you must bill Virgin for it. Your mum+sis are also entitled to full reimbursment of taxis to and from the hotel, as well as meals+refreshments that they had for the entire duration of the unexpected stop, including both at the hotel and airport. (Just stay reasonable: no claiming for 49 pina coladas at the beach bar) Was their luggage returned to them during the unexpected stop? If not they may also claim for any toiletries and clothing that they had to purchase during the night stop. I understand the hotel has already been paid for, just don't forget the rest. Hopefully they have kept the receipts. Otherwise bank statements should do the trick. You need to claim for this in addition of the £1040 Other than the above there is no statutory compensation due for missing out on 1.5days of holiday. You could however talk to someone at customer service and make a polite request to extend your stay by another couple days and see if they will do it for you free of charge (providing they have space). Or if not, you could possibly get some token gesture of money back or voucher off your next holiday. It's worth trying. That you paid £700 for a name change is unfortunate but it's completely unrelated to the situation at hand. Above all I hope they don't worry too much about this mishap, and make the most of their holiday. Compensation is practically guaranteedwhen they are back. Just tell them to save all receipts they have and don't worry about the rest until they're back!

    • 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 on the MBNA thread.

 

My story so far;

Ongoing-Court stage with CitiCards,First Direct C/C and next: MBNA?

 

* Sept 06 As with all other 10 creditors made through the CCCA an arrangement to pay on my ability (to pay) DMP to help pay all my creditors a pro-rata payment. In MBNA case (£9700.00) £9.36.

 

* Feb 07 MBNA made me an offer to settle the debt. Pay £2000.00 in a lump sum and the rest would be written off. If not aDefault would be registered and the account will be SOLD to a DCA.

 

* April 07 Debt Clear Recoveries & Investigations Ltd had now the debt.

 

* 10th April 07 Sent DCA a (CCA) request.

 

* 19th April 07 MBNA sent me a copy (the original credit card application form) under separate dated postings the 'terms & Conditions'.

 

* 4th April 07 whilst waiting for a (CCA) responce, I sent MBNA a LBA regarding late payments fees (£111.00).

 

* 11th May 07 Sent letter back to MBNA thanking them and would they instead sending a copy of the precontractual application, the actual regulated subsequent agreement?

 

* 8th May 07 MBNA offered me £40.00, a goodwill payment settlement.

 

* 14th May 07 Sent letter back rejecting the offer, but kept the uncashed cheque as a downpayment. I also wrote to say in my original letter informing them I would start legal proceedings within 14 days, and as a gesture of good will an extra 7 days to refund £111.00 by return of cheque.There have until the end of the month?

 

* I will post the 'Agreement' on here. I would like your opinion if this is a true copy or not?

 

* I have not heard anything from the DCA since I requested the CCA?

I've not seen your thread before - thanks to FC for bringing it back to the top. The 'agreement' you posted back in May is definitely just an application form and unenforceable by virtue of s59 of the CCA 1974.

Hi steven4064

My appreciation on your comments about the account. Sorry that I have not got back to you sooner but, I have been waiting until now for further developments so I could string together a fuller picture to be revealed.

 

* 14th June07 Mbna offer £71.00 plus already £40.00 (£111.00) for default charges to settle?

 

* 16th July07 No settlement money sent but, find whilst awaiting response I am penalise by a letter from there DCA dated 12/08/07 an increase of £111.58. It seems MBNA to disguise the none payment has applied it to through the DCA. Sent letter back to dispute this discrepancy and state that the account is now in dispute.

 

*13th Aug07 Recived notice of proceedings from DCA 'debt clear recoveries&investigations ltd'.

 

* 16th Aug07 Sent both (MBNA & DCA) an SAR for addition charges.

 

* 27th Sept07 MBNA sent so called settlement cheque for £111.58?

 

*13th March08 Letter from 'Restons Solicitors' instructed by MBNA for a judgement to be registered against me unless I pay them full amount of £9584.82.

 

I am still paying them under the CCCA Plan.

What can I do when there fail to comply to all that has been done.

 

Please advise.......

Hi icepop

 

The image of your agreement doesn't seem to be thee any more. However, I commented back in January that it was just an application form and not enforceable. What this means is that, should they take you to court for the debt, the court would not be able to order enforcement or give you a CCJ. You could write and tell them that you are not going to pay anything else because they have not produced a copy of an enforceable agreement. The debt will still exist, but they wil not be able to collect it. Any default they place on your credit file would be unlawful under the Data Protection Act 1998 because they cannot demonstrate that they have your permission to share your data.

Thanks for reply Steven.

 

I took the MBNA image of the agreement down on advise about security. However, what you have told me, I wonder what the letter to be written to 'Restons' should contain?

Do I state as precisely as you have quoted to prempt there precarious attempt to scarce me and offer as agreed by the CCCA-MDP the money will be set as agreed until......

As they have issued the clock is ticking. You should...

 

1) Acknowledge service pronto.

 

2) Send the solicitors an adapted version of Tomterm8's 'Request For Information letter' (RFI) by special delivery...

 

Basic Introduction to Consumer Credit litigation

 

3) Phone the court and establish what date your defence is due.

 

4) Get cracking on (i.e. research on this site) your defence. This may be a 'holding defence' if the other side doesn't respond to your RFI in time. Which they may not. Seek help on this site if needs be.

 

5) Ask a Moderator to transfer your thread to the legalities section in the debt action group.

 

Regards

Hi to all,

 

The defence date has been set for Wednesday 30th April 2008. At this moment waiting for reply (RFI) from 'Restons'.

Looking through threads and it all seems -figure out- stuff. Found I seem is the default notice. Could someone have a look and see if its accurate?

Hi icepop

 

I believe the Default Notice is invalid as it should allow 14 days after serving, see the following by pt2537 18 to 20

Hope this helps

Hi to all

 

After looking at the above thread I wonder whether (RFI)P/link 10 has any input? Should I not bother with submitting "Holding Case"? as I think.

Hi to all,

Update, no reply? whats new!!!

 

Its seems I will be sending a 'holding defence' in my application. The two main points are it seems;

 

1) Failure to supply a valid credit agreement.

2) Invalid default notice and penalty charges contained within the default.

 

Is there anything else?????

If thats the case, how do I write this out on the claim form.
