    • Everyone knows the tories were hiding the costs - and even added 4 billion quid to the taxpayers high interest credit card to fund a chunk of the NI tax reduction - prime example - look at how much cost was hidden re the Rwanda dogwhistle -10 Billion quid     and re the handful of rebels on the benefit limit If the disasters (like the Rwanda rubbish) of Tory dogs being wagged by the extremist minority ERG tail doesn't highlight the issues ..

    • ok your WS is wrong. Paragraph 16 and 17 says  you did not contract with evri but this is not true - see below  Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (c)  Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency post 251 of occy thread - £844 lost    you should also add a paragraph on donough v Stevenson talking about the fact that even without contract there is still duty of care to goods and by failing to deliver this duty has been breached.   Make those changes and post it back up here and I'll check over things again

    • 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.

While I'm still reading up on all of the great advice and case notes on here I thought I'd get my claim started. I've been banking with the Halifax since 1996 and had a savings account with The Leeds (didn't they merge?) since I was about 5. This means that in one form or another they've been my bank for more than 20 years.

 

I dread to think of the charges I've incurred but I've had a loan, a credit card, an ISA, a savings account and my current account. Sensible banking wasn't really my middle name and it's only since handing over the money to my Fiancee that we're getting back on track!

 

This site has definately got me bouncing! I opened my CC bill the other day and gave a little smile and small skip when I saw the £25 late fee. Ah... They have no idea!

 

Anyway, I plan on claiming the charges on my current, credit and loan accounts and since I dont have a tonne of paperwork I called Halifax for all of my account details. I know it's not quite a DPA letter but it's a start. I was surprised though that they couldn't give me the information over the telephone dspite the security checks you have to pass to even speak to an operator. Anyway, they said they'd pass on the request and mail out the inforamtion I requested.

 

You'll have to forgive me, every time I type Halifax I want to type what we actually call them in this house. I'm sure you can imagine!

 

So Halifax, En Garde!

Hi again,

 

Just sitting here emailing my lass at work and she raised a good point. We're going to claim against Halifax card services for the credit card and also the loan and current a/c but we think they're all registered at different addresses.

 

So who do I sent the DPA to and do I need to send more than one and pay more than one charge as a result OR, (and I've only just read this in another post) should I go to my local branch and reuest them all at once in person. That makes more sense actually but what do you all think?

 

EDIT - It's cool, found what I needed in the FAQ.

Heres the Address we used for the credit card

We used the trinity road one for our current account as for the loan I have no idea I am afraid but would have thought the Trinity Road one would be alright

There is a thread "contact details for the Halifax " it maybe in thereor perhaps going through the forum and seeking out another member going for a loan claim

When you get your credit card statements and do the claim we used the trinity road adress as scottish law is different than English law regarding these claims and if they come to less than five thousand you can merge them in one claim

  • 2 weeks later...

Well, I should've listened to Mechs after all!

 

I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and ask them to send me a list of the accounts I've held with the Halifax since my youth. Two weeks ago today I did that. Two whole weeks and in that time I've had any amount of mailers asking me if I want to transfer balances, get a loan and such like.

 

I was fuming this morning. So angry that I told work I'd be late and I went straight to the Halifax. Poor lad on the desk didn't know what hit him and to be fair he was an absolute gent. He soon managed to calm me down and I explained what I wanted and why I want it. Sure enough he listed all of the accounts. I was expecting three or four but it turns out that i have had nine. One of them started as a boy still has 74p in it.

 

Anyway, got what I wanted and went to work. I prepared the DPA covering three bank accounts, finished early and dropped it in. I used the template letter and asked another fella just who it needed to go to. He read it and exclaimed "Nice one!" He took my money, gave me a receipt and wished me luck. The letter has to go off to head office now (the manager had to dig out the reference code to attach to the letter) but I've started counting now. 40 days...

 

One of the things that really ****ed me off this morning is that they have no problem sending me crap through the post but when it comes to something we want then we have to jump through hoops for it. To be fair to the branch staff they were great, it's just the monkeys in the call centre!

 

I'm buzzing!
