    • Appreciate your response BankFodder. I am aware that the Consumer Rights Act does not apply in my case as I operate a business and, instead, should rely on the Supply of Goods and Services Act and Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. I was a little unsure as, when I read the judgement of Hashim Farooq v EVRi Parcelnet, July 2023 I presumed that,  as Farooq had supplied laptops through Amazon,  the Consumer Rights Act would not apply but the judge refers to it in Section 22 as to why the claimant should be given judgment. Have I read this correctly? The reason for not offering full reimbursement was because I did not take out insurance for the full value.  In regards to correspondence from my customer,  I have emails from her in my timeline stating that she was waiting all week and that no one attempted delivery.  I have no doubt that she will be willing to corroborate the events with a written statement.
    • When you post information here you will have to post it in single file multipage PDF format. Follow the upload link. However, it would be more helpful if you could simply answer the questions that we have put to you and we can deal with paperwork afterwards if we think we need it.  
    • I was trying to post all the paperwork that I have, namely facebook ad, messages between the seller and my son etc . But I'm getting the message that the files are to large. 
    • First of all please can you tell us the name of the seller, something about the van – age/year, mileage, price paid. How far away is the seller from where your son lives? Who do you take it to for this inspection? Are they prepared to give you a written list of the things that they found? This is very important and you may well have to get an independent inspection from somebody such as the AA. This will cost you some kind of feedback we expect that we will be able to help you get it back. I would say that if you have to bring a court claim – which is likely – then your chances of success are better than 95% but the difficulty might be enforcing the judgement against the seller. We will have to no more in order to give you better advice. Does it have an MOT? What is the date of it and who gave it the MOT? I suggest that you start taking pictures of all of the defects that you can find.   Also I am going to say that I believe that you came over from Facebook where you were already informed that we would need at least all of the information which I have requested above. It will save a lot of time and effort for everybody if you can simply come up with the things that we ask without too much delay
    • My autistic son brought a van from a private seller. ( there was 5 other cars on his drive and another van, plus loads of machanic tools in his hallway,  so he probably is a unofficial dealer).  He gave the van a once over, he checked for any warning lights that might be on, there was none. He checked underneath for any rust etc, it all looked fine. The body was rough, but you'd expect that for the age of the van.  He got his brothers machanic to give it a pre mot check, as the van was old so he expected it to have a few problems. The van is a deathtrap, the seller had blacked out all the warning lights that were on the dash,  and I mean all.  He had also painted some kind of black stuff on the underside, to hide all the damage there.   My son drove it for over 2 hours to get it home. The machanic said he's surprised my son is still alive, and an untrained eye would not of seen what the seller had done.  Iv asked the seller for a refund and for him to have the van back, but he is refusing. Is there anything we can do.

    • 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.

Having read your posts it seems to me like you got plenty of help, but I suppose some people are never satisfied. Had you stuck around you'd have found you could have got all of what you were owed instead of a part settlement, but if you're happy with them keeping some of your money, good for you. Enjoy your cash.

Being As I Never Got Any Help The Last Time I Posted, [/quote]

 

No you didn't, but by that time you'd already filed and sent the AQ back. Prior to that every question was answered and you were helped every step of the way. So to imply you won all by yourself is being rather economical with the truth - bit like the banks really.

Whats the need for such abusive language?

 

Our users and site helpers etc spend as much time as possible helping people with their consumer issues, and are all UNPAID VOLUNTEERS.

 

Do you spend your own money maintaining a server and host costs etc? ALL for the benefit of other people? Didnt think so...

 

And by the looks of your attitude, I can certainly see why no one would want to help you....

 

So.....you got screwed by the banks....took action.....and still ending up losing over £20. Wheres the result :rolleyes: ?

ruskorod- you replied to omblers post and a number of others did about the question you asked. Had you read the responses on that thread or read others in the barclays thread you would have had the answers. Being abusive to members of this site belittles yourself and those who tried to help you. Congratulations that you won, but please try to use your knowledge to help people fighting claims and not be abusive towards those who helped you with the template letters which you so helpfully used, and towards Dave and BF and the Moads who set this site up. Would you have won if this site did not exist? Did you PM any of the site helpers or Mods for advice? Did you try and look through other posts in the Barclays thread? Enjoy the money and calm down. Many people get frustrated and it can be difficult for everyone to help everyone all at once.

I followed the advise given by this site and rather than settling for less than was owed i recieved £410 over by Halifax settling before it went to court. And i did this without having to ask questions but just by being patient and reading the step by step rules. So maybe in future you should try using your brain for something more costructive than abusing people. And the whole propess only took about ten weeks:D .

Can I please re-itterate the fact that we dont want this thread to turn into an arguement or slanging match.

 

The OP has set out to get all these responces, he or she is loving the attention.

 

Any further posts in this thread, in my opinion, will certainly not provide help for anyone.

 

I kindly request all users to refrain posting in this thread until a Moderator has replied, please divert your attention to the many other users who genuinly require help on this forum.

 

Thanks in advance for your co operation.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Stop it. My sides are already hurting!!!

 

Just ignore it.

 

Tw*t! I suppose he researched all the contract law etc... like I did and did it all off his own back.

 

Some people are just like that. Ignore it.

 

It's a quite sad individual, and while I don't advocate laughing at people less fortunate than myself....ha, ha, ha, ha!!! Funny really.

I'm sure you know Dave is passionate about this site and what it has achieved so far, the fact that, unlike others who have said similar things on this site, you have decided to help is a credit to you and a massive boost to this site. Keep up the good work mate. We all have our moments.
