    • Thank you again. I'm hoping it will come out in the wash and will endeavour to check my online account. I'm a bit unsettled by not hearing from Booking.com but the host is sounding helpful at the moment. HB
    • I've just remembered that a friend of mine had bookings cancelled on Booking.com about a month ago - and the good news is that all worked out in the wash. I'm at work now but will scribble properly in a couple of hours with the full tale.
    • Thank you Dave. I've had nothing from Booking.com, just a message via the site from the host. I know I need to check my bank account, just trying to resolve some technical issues. HB

    • 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.

they didn't expect people to read the T&Cs. I wonder why.

 

Arf!

 

In fairness, I don't think I've ever actually read all the T&Cs of any account I've ever opened.... until now, that is. Just converted my Egg CC into a loan (so I can DPA them for charges!) and read every last one of the clauses in the T&Cs, underlining the ones that aren't enforceable!

 

Like the idea of phoning them everytime I use the card... "Well, the T&Cs said I should"!

A&L: Settled - £6,200

HFC: Settled - £800

Shell Visa: Settled - £250

Egg: Settled - £700

Mint: Settled - £1200

Like I said once before in another thread, I would like to go into a bank to open a new account, sit down with an advisor and when it gets to the point of signing the contract I would go through it all and cross out all the clauses that I didn't agree with and lower all the penalty charges to realistic figures (max £1.50), initial all the changes and sign the contract. I know they will refuse the account, but I would feel so much better!!! :D

I didn't realise that you didn't have to have a c & P but could get C & S.

 

To get a sig card you could just say that you cannot remember any numerics, PIn's, Birthdays, phone numbers etc (there probably is a recognised disorder) and that you would have to write down any PIN therefore making the system un safe in your case.

Absolutely

 

You can add the one number you can remember you use for something else (The combination lock for your suitcase) and you want to comply with best advice from the card watch website - you don't use the same number for more than one application. This, in an awful lot of cases, is the absolute truth, it certainly is in mine. A C&S card will be forthcoming.

It's called DYSCALCULIA:D

If you claimed to have dyscalcula, making it impossible to process PINs, would the banks technically be in breach of the Disability Discimination Act for refusing you a signature card?

 

Would certainly be worth mentioning in a "cat+pigeons" sort of way...

Think I will try this one out next week and see what LTSB say8-)

OH has 'diagnosed' learning difficulties which make it impossible for him to remember PIN's and, since C&P, has relied on me to whisper it to him when making a transaction:eek: :eek:.

 

Will let you know what they say.

According to Radio 5 News (Afternoon 13 Nov).

 

 

After being kidnapped, the victims were driven to different parts of London during their ordeal. They were cowed into handing over their valuables and pin numbers and many victims were beaten unconscious and left covered in blood.

 

Is it safer to PIN or to Sign?

I like the Yankie idea.

 

If you black out the signature strip on your card, then the cashier asks for photo idea. I don't know if this is "law" or just a polite thing that shops do off their own back to help protect the consumer.

My AMEX is chip and signature, but before I was issued with the pin number I went to a well known PC computer store, it's a WORLDwide company.

 

Anyway, went in, bought whatever it was I was buying, went to pay with the AMEX. Was asked to enter my PIN. Didn't have one. Was told by the cahier that it was this stores policy not to accept cards without a PIN number, asked to speak to manager, who advised that they had full rights to refuse payment by a card without a pin number.

 

Is this right? Can they simply refuse payment?

I have entered my PIN incorrectly 3 times and had it 'locked out' I called the HSBC to get a new pin issued, they advised it would 'unlock' after 24hours. It has done exactly as stated but is a great hassle! i would rather sign for my goods or have a photo of me on the card to prove I Am Me

I bet when it comes to disputed transactions not many are aware of the Banking Code article 10.2.

 

Unusual transactions -

 

In some cases, we will need you to give us confirmation or evidence that you have not authorised a transaction.

 

Very difficult if someone's used your PIN before you report your card lost or stolen. Very easy if you stick to signatures.

some info if it hasn't been posted before, didn't read page 1 and 2, if the PIN has been locked for chip and PIN or if you have had a transaction refused and you are able to use the cash machine and there is sufficient money in the account to cover the transaction you were trying to make, here is how you unlock the pin. STEP 1 is to go to an atm of the bank the card has been issued through. STEP 2 go onto the first menu of options that include Mini Statements etc, etc, STEP 3 go into other services or pin services or maybe under additional services. STEP 4 there should be an option to unblock PIN number. If this should sort the problem out. If it still causes a problem contact your bank because you will probably need a new card.

I came I saw I helped. I could do no more.
