    • Hi All I know this a long shot but ha anyone got any advice please? Nearly three years ago (maybe more) my ex took a contract out for a new phone for my birthday that I ended up paying the bills on (lovely present huh) I have always paid the bill for this. The phone number that I have had for most of my adult life was passed over to this contract and I am old now haha We are now divorced and have not been in contact  - he is abusive and I have nothing to do with him. I cannot enter into any dialogue with him whatsoever. I have continued with my phone contract and number etc but am stuck - I have no access to my bills even though they come out of my account - as the contract is in his name I cannot get a pac code to move therefore I will lose my number if I cancel- sky just quote data protection at me which I get but this is soooo frustrating!!!! I know that the sensible thing would have been to just l cancel the dd lose the number get another contract elsewhere and get over myself and move on but I am just asking out there as a final desperate attempt - can anything whatsoever be done??? Thank you in advance :)
    • What's your intent, or interest? I can't see that you have any cause of action regarding bills issued by one third party to another third party. Is the idea to use this as a lever "I'll denounce you to HMRC unless you do blah blah .." That might in fact have no teeth anyway, HMRC will aware of the company's turnover via their other tax affairs.  As a matter of fact a company buying VAT rated supplies and selling to VAT registered customers is actually worse off if not VAT registered themselves. Has your court case reached it's conclusion yet?
    • Hello, welcome to CAG.  I expect people will be along to advise later. We aren't here to mock, this is a serious forum. If you feel you're being picked on  report the relevant post to the site team.  Best, HB
    • no that is not a defence. because you don't have a photo
    • I purchased the vehicle using finance through motonovo under a HP 60 months agreement. I have now amended the document ensuring all is in black. Unfortunately, this email has now been sent. However, I have not sent a letter to big motoring world. Also, I have taken the section of the firealarm issue. I am struggling to convert to PDF. I am not tech savy at all. My mistake was that the the salesman was very fussy on a sale. We went down a quiet road for a little test drive and not for a lengthy road test. The water issue was not present at this moment of time. However, it only became prevalent after driving away, after all docs signed. I did stated to Audi I wanted a diagnostic report. However, they carried out an Audicam which is footage of the issue. Audi have diagnosed the issue as a common issue where coupes/cabriolets accumulate water in the seals. However, I did state beforehand for no issue to be rectified due to me wanting to reject the vehicle. I am awaiting a report from Audi through email from the branch manager in relation to the issue. The issue so far is the water still being present in the sills. Audi tried to fix the issue however the problem is still prevalent. Regards

    • 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.

After spending over 6 weeks waiting for my charges info, and reading as much as possible about re claiming them. I have just finished typing up my request for payment. I will be posting it recorded/special delivery tomorrow. I have to admit I'm a bit nervy as my claim is for £9346:eek: and I won't be able to use the small claims court. With a bit of luck it won't get to court. Wish me luck:)

I got the standard we're sorry to hear your not happy bla! bla! bla! but we're not refunding you your charges letter today. They have replied early so do I give them the full 14 days, or do I send my LBA.

I've Just been reading through the new POC for Halifax. I am trying to fill out my N1 but the POC reads in the past-tence as if the account is no longer open. Is this right or do I need to change the wording to the present-tence to reflect the fact that the account is still open. Sorry to sound a bit dim, but I don't want to mess things up on a technicality.

HI Chris,

 

Just carry on as SSL advised you. Youll be OK.

 

I wouldnt worry too much over the letter off Halifax, just trying to scare you off I reckon Ive also had same and yet my claim is awaiting Judgement. I think they are a bit like headless chickens at the moment, and Id like to bet they are more than a little concerned about the Test case ( They have an awful lot to lose when we win) so tryin to put as many ppl off claiming as poss.

 

Good Luck we are all backing you up so GO GET THEM!

 

Regards :)

Good luck with this one. I'm going to start my Halifax CC soon but i'm still waiting for them to respond to my S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) its been 60 days now and even after a LBA they still have not responded.

 

 

You can give them a call to see where they are, but you should file at court if you get no response.

 

Here is what you need....
