Advice on how to take handler protect to the small claims court

If you look through all the previous reviews on Google then you will see that 95% of the reviews are one star – Most of the responses indicate that this company never pays or honours It’s warranty obligations.

Basically they use unfair contract terms to avoid any responsibility – I will be taking them to the small claims court using the consumer rights act 2015 .

Handler protect have requested an unreasonable time to investigate and respond to my appeal.

They claim that the car was too old and the mileage too high to honour the claim. Why did they agree to provide a warranty breakdown on the vehicle in the first place?

See The consumer rights act section 54 subsection six this section … Handler direct should not use contract terms to prevent the consumer seeking other remedies for a breach of a term – so I will seek compensation from handler direct retrospectively

The fact that Handler protect raised their voices and spoke over me and responded to my correspondence with standard email responses that proved that they had not bothered to read my correspondence means that they failed to perform the service with reasonable care and skill (consumer rights act 2015 – section 49)

Consumer Right act 2015 section 62 (four) (a term is unfair if it is contrary to the requirement of good faith and causes a significant imbalance in the parties rights and obligations to detachment of the consumer.) …. Handler protect terms and conditions are riddled with terms that contradict the requirement of good faith.

I will be using the above and other remedies to retrospectively claim £3600 plus from Handler direct

Little postscript – I see that Handler protect very often leave feedback saying they are unable to locate the source of the claim – so Cian here is my claim number 2680 4706 – C2?

Hi Terry casey TCA watches,

Thank you for providing your reference number. We have now been able to locate your claim.

We understand that you are unhappy with the outcome. The repair request was assessed in line with the terms of the plan, which require a sudden mechanical or electrical failure of a listed component that occurs after the plan begins. Claims cannot be approved where the evidence indicates a pre existing issue or a worn component, and this was explained to you in writing.

The age or mileage of the vehicle is not used as a reason to decline a repair request. The only factors considered are whether the failed part is included in the plan and whether the evidence supports a sudden failure rather than a worn or developing fault.

We have responded to all correspondence and reviewed your appeal using the information provided. If you wish to submit any new technical evidence from the inspecting garage, we will be happy to review it.

Best regards

Great experience so far!

I bought the car a little over a week ago and was heartbroken to see a fault light appear on the dash after only a few days of driving it. I contacted handler support and they sent me a claim form with clear instructions on the claim process almost immediately. I submitted the online documentation as requested a few days later and less than 12 hours after submitting it received a phone call from Cian stating that he is handling the claim and without speaking to the Technician believed I would be eligible for a repair reimbursement minus the policy excess. About half an hour later Cian called me again to say that they had agreed to waive the excess and sent me a repair reimbursement form to complete which will be processed within 24-48 hours of receipt which I am of course delighted about. So far this company have been Spot On! I have given 4 stars because of the sceptic in me but I will be coming back and changing it to 5 once the money is in my bank!
Thankyou Cian !
Less than 24 hours later and the money is in my bank, the car booked in the garage and Extra star awarded as promised ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brilliant service

I rang the number, which was answered promptly and, after giving my details, was told I would be referred to someone else. My experience of this with other companies is that this is the start of a process of being fobbed off, but NO - Cian was almost immediately there at the end of the phone (after some really pleasant guitar work on the holding music) with his warm, friendly voice. He explained that, although my repair was not strictly covered within the warranty guidelines, he would like to offer a courtesy amount as goodwill to cover part of the cost of the repair. This was very unexpected and very much appreciated by me. Cian explained the process expertly and what I now needed to do, all of which is very satisfactory from my perspective. Overall a very helpful and positive experience, with someone going out of their way to provide a great customer experience. Thank you.

I’ve been waiting weeks for a response

I’ve been waiting weeks for a resolution on my claim for vehicle. Despite providing diagnostic reports, video evidence, and technician confirmation, my case has been rejected multiple times with new requirements each time. The car has been immobilised since early November and I need a clear response. Please review my case and reply promptly, as the delays are leaving me in a helpless situation.

Update:
After extended response time with my claim, Handler Protect eventually resolved the issue and reimbursed me. The process took longer than anyone would expect, but once escalated to the right person they did act and covered the repair costs. I appreciate that the claim was finally settled, though communication could have been faster and clearer.

Great customer service and ease-of-use

The process for requesting a repair was so simple to do online through my phone and all required documents were clearly explained.
I had to provide further information for my repair and Handler were very quick to respond to me to explain what was outstanding to process my claim.
I and a phone call with Cian Roe who was super friendly and he explained my cover to me. It was nice to speak to a human and I appreciate the personal touch.

Great service

Bought a car 3 months ago from a dealership, and having handlers protect as the warranty has worked out great. I unfortunately had my radiator go on the vehicle and it is in need of replacement. I got a hold of Handler Protect on advice about setting up a claim form. I found the gentleman on the phone very helpful and respectful, and he sent me a link to start the application after the call. Ensuring that I attach documents regarding a diagnosis and prices. Within 2 days, I had a lovely gentleman called Cian Roe, who was very helpful and organised payment to be sorted. I would recommend this warranted business. I had an excellent and professional service. Thank you.
