    • Hi Can you put post up in PDF redacted your full Tenancy Agreement we need to see it all not just those clause As for the Estate Agency stating your Rent and Deposit is paying for the Redecoration of the property is wrong as this was there and the Landlords responsibility to claim those cost back from the Previous Tenants from either their Rents or Tenancy Deposit therefore the Redecoration cost is the Landlords Problem not not yours nor your Rent or Tenancy Deposit (until end of Tenancy) I would be writing to the Estate Agency asking further to your telephone conversation with XXXXXXXXX  on XX/XX/2025 you require Clarification as it was stated by your employee that I would not receive any rent nor deposit back as compensation as the Landlord was using this to Redecorate the Property. Neither my Rent nor Deposit should be used to Redecorate this Property due to the Previous Tenants as this should have been claimed back from the previous Tenants via either there Rents or Tenancy Deposit. Further to this I collected the keys as agreed on the 5th July 2025 to move into this Property with no mention at all from your Estate Agency that due to all the Redecoration ongoing when I went to that Property on that date I was not able to move into the Property as Agreed in me Agreement. You have then move my moving in date to 11th July 2025 therefore my Rent payments should commence from 11th July 2025 and I require confirmation from PPM Estate Agency and if refuse this full clarification as to why and what Housing Legislation and clauses from my Agreement. DO NOT PHONE and ask this unless you can record the call Send it by email but also follow it up in writing and get free proof of posting from the Post Office

    • 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.

Super-complaints Quick Facts - BERR

 

Super-Complaints - BERR

 

http://www.berr.gov.uk/files/file32780.pdf

 

Applications for super-complainant status close on 30 April each year and the five criteria are as follows:

 

(1) The body is so constituted, managed and controlled as to be

expected to act independently, impartially and with complete

integrity.

 

(2) The body can demonstrate considerable experience and

competence in representing the interests of consumers of any

description.

 

(3) The body has the capability to put together reasoned super-

complaints on a range of issues.

 

(4) The body is ready and willing to co-operate with the Office of

Fair Trading (OFT), and/or with any other authority, body or

person having responsibility for responding to super-complaints.

In particular, the body agrees to take account of any guidance

issued by the OFT on the making of super-complaints.

 

(5) The fact that a body has a trading arm will not disqualify it from

being designated provided that the trading arm does not control

the body; any profits of the trading arm are only used to further

the stated objectives of the body; and the body has established

procedures to ensure that any potential conflicts of interest are

properly dealt with.

 

The PDF goes into more detail on each of these.

You've got to be a designated body before you can make a super-complaint.

 

There's a list on the BERR webpage (the second link in my earlier post).

 

Which?, the Campaign for Real Ale and Citizens Advice are all designated but What Car? got turned down.

 

The other super-complainants are mostly official consumer watchdogs.

 

Would we get super-complainant status? I have my (admittedly somewhat cynical) doubts.
