    • Hi, I am aware there’s been few threads about this already but just wanted to confirm information on my case. I was with Village gym last year(2023) on initial 6 month usual contract they do, I lost my job and due to that I couldn’t afford to pay for gym nor I had any motivation to go to gym at that time so they sent me arc phone message in September 2023 that I owed them £140 so I paid them back on instalments in 2 months time.  Then I started receiving new years deals in December 2023 and I decided to give them a call but they never mentioned anything about 6 month contract or anything, only that it would be monthly rolling contract and I paid them for 2 months and then I realised both months they charged me £59 instead of £38 they offered me on the phone when I mentioned that I am still student, even though before I was paying £43 a month in mid 2023. I spoke to gym entrance lady and she said I should give a call to gym on the phone number so I did and whoever answered said they’ll pass my info to manager and he will give me a call back in 24 hours, of course no one called me back so I called again and they said same thing. And of course once again no one got in touch with me so I got tired of them charging me more than they should and decided to cancel my direct debit and stopped going there as I got new job with rotation shifts which is not good for me as I cannot visit gym after I finish at 10pm every second week.  And now in April I received arc message saying this :  Also they have my old flat address where I used to live. What is the  best thing to do for me please? Thank you!

    • 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.

Yes, civil matters are no good for their targets, regardless a crime is being committed!

 

Still looking at the certified/certificated issue - maybe tomtubby could help on that one - she's the expert here...

 

And with postggj on side... let battle commence!

just curious here, what reason did the bailiff guy give for unclamping the car?

Found that surprising as in my experience once your car's clamped they're not exactly willing to unclamp it without good reason! Especially since he wont get whatever fee Welcome has promised him as he has not repossessed the car.

basically said he rang his headoffice...he had a notice of repocession that was dated 28 july and apparently gave 7 days notice to act....how can it be dated 28july and give 7 days to act ?????? i did ask for a copy but he said he couldnt give it to me..

 

ive never had a notice of repo or termination or default notice..

 

so anyways his office said they have spoken to a welcome manager and his decision was to call off the repocession..

 

?????

Emmilou, you've hit the nail on the head. He followed orders then realised later that it was illegal (most likely) and that would be bad for him, legally and businesswise.

 

Zaidey, I hope you get the result you deserve. I've PM'd Tomtubby re the bailiff status - she is incredibly busy but her opinion is gold regards bailiffs.

 

Postggj is the Welcome killer - between them you will be Welcomes worst enemy!

ive checked out the name

Thats what I'm thinking. If so, Welcome would be jointly liable for him misrepresenting his status (as his ultimate employer)

His notice states Certified Bailiffs - hopefully Tomtubby can clear up that one.

Just an extra rock to throw....

Step 1 - pass the buck...

 

 

Compliance department.... hmmm, wonder what their role is....

 

I would absolutely refuse to deal with local branch. You complained to WF compliance, they may need to deal with Fleetwood LCU (what is LCU?) but that is their problem, not yours.

Yes, what I thought.

 

As I said, you complained to WF Compliance. You must immediately write back confirming You require a response from compliance, not local branch.

You need to send the telephone and doorstep letters - all communication in writing.

 

As postggj says, keep the big guns under your hat for now, take a few days to consider.

Hi sillygirl1,

 

That's interesting.

 

The office, I was told this week is on the second floor of Centre Link House at 307 High Street, Sutton, Surrey.

 

I sent it by Recorded Delivery so I hope there is someone instructed in the building to collect their mail or maybe it's redirected to Pentonville Jail .....:lol:

 

Nite

 

Voda

 

 

 

Be aware here that the Sutton office is a 'front' - they apparently only visit it two or three times a week to collect post and the phone no (so I've been reliably told) goes to a 'field person' in the area. I go past their office daily and the ground floor is empty, and there is a large 'for sale or to let' sign on it....
