Should she replace it? Part 3

[Langarg]

I can’t believe we have a part 3 🤣 this has provided some lighthearted entertainment at a time where I’m feeling really let down by someone I considered a good friend. So thank you! I have posted an update on thread 2, will post it here also.

I have sent the following text message ‘Having reflected on what you have said, how the airwrap was lost/broken or otherwise is irrelevant. I considered asking you for pictures of the broken airwrap or asking to speak to your sister to ask her what happened but it will get us nowhere. All that matters is I am down a Dyson airwrap and I want a new replacement. You’ll need to either transfer me the £399 tonight to pay for this or purchase it yourself from boots and send me the email receipt this evening. You can then sort out with your sister whether she is going to contribute to the cost of it. We can then put this behind us’

I have no interest in maintaining the friendship after this for obvious reasons. I am worried that she’s seen the thread (how can she not have 🤣) and knows this fine well so will have no intention of replacing it sadly.

I don’t think I’ll ever get the truth (was there even a wedding at this rate?! 🤣) all that matters to me now is getting a replacement airwrap!!!!

Those fees will be paid for by the other party as it’s clear whose at fault. I think strike while the iron is hot and send the notification letter required now. Hopefully the threat of the shame of having your wages garnished will speed things up, if not, better to get cracking now rather than wait longer.

Late to the party, but following!

I think talking to the sister is fine. At the end of the day CF said she lent it her and she broke it. You need that back so you could see if it needs repairing. If CF herself is not responding anymore, its really your only option by going direct. I do think small claims is your next step unfortunately

I read part1 but was not aware there was a part 2 until I discovered part3. I have no idea how to find the crucial part2 if anyone would be kind enough to provide a link or explain how to get to the juicy bits please!

Just wait until you do a £2600 tile job only to find out the next day the owners walk on the newly layed tile. When confronted I was told it was the way I left it and it wasn't their responsibility to pay for my mistakes.
I've never been paid and don't bother with court. That will just give u a judgement not payment. Best of luck yo you.

did you actually go through small claims? This was not my experience of the process at all. I recovered my money.

Unfortunately the Boots offer ended earlier today.

Your advice is spot on. CF is the person OP is in dispute with and she should not bother trying to contact CF's DS or DH - they won't do anything to help her and certainly nothing which could cause more trouble for CF.

@Toquerville is right when they say you could get a judgment (CCJ) but still not get the money owed - this can happen if the respondent has no job, little money and no assets. This is part of the assessment you make before filing a claim which, of course, is easier if you know the person and their financial circumstances (as OP does of CF).

Hi OP, here's the link to reliable information about the entire small claims process including writing a LBA (PLEASE ensure you do this as it could get the issue resolved without you even having to file a claim): https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/law-and-courts/legal-system/small-claims/making-a-small-claim/
Good luck! 😊

Yes please tell me what happened afterwards. Last time I checked it was the hotel that allegedly stolen and they were going to check it.

@swingandtrampoline I've posted links in this thread. page 31

The dog ate it.

CF finally claimed that she'd loaned it to her sister and that her sister had broken it by spilling wine on it, as I recall.

I would be annoyed at the AW being damaged but accidents happen, what would annoy and upset me most would be the lies and disrespect from someone who is supposed to be a friend. OP I hope you get your money back or a new air wrap

CF will have certainly seen this thread now, it's literally in the paper and other stuff. She's holding on for you to get a replacement.

Meanwhile I'm looking forward to Air-wrap, The Musical.

Big number to end Act 1 - 'Little Lies'

Big chorus number - '(W)rappers Delight'.

…although frankly, if someone like me who doesn’t give a shit about hair, is googling AW prices due to over-investment in the saga way past bedtime
then dyson should be sending you a free one in return for the solid publicity you’re providing OP!

Sorry this is still ongoing for you OP. You’ve been treated terribly throughout this. Hope you get some sort of resolution soon - even if it’s CF facing up to what she’s done

That will teach the cf friend - I think OP should use small claims court, people should not be treated like this, it is no good threatening OP, get it done!

It could include reversions of:
In the (h)air tonight - Phil Collins
Blown Away - Carrie Underwood
Little Lies - Fleetwood Mac
Suspicious Minds - Elvis

Or any of those listed here…

Placemarking here so I can catch up with the end of the last thread and all of this one

'Red, red wine'
'Sisters are wrapping it for themselves'
'You've (no longer) got a friend'

What an absolute saga to start the year with. I can’t imagine you’re going to end up with this CF coughing up the money any time soon, but in the unlikely event she grows a conscience, Curry’s have it on sale for £399 😘

..not forgetting Blue Hotel by Chris Isaak

Brilliant - tried to find a hotel one but could only think of Hotel California (first line: On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair.🤣)
