    • There's a thread somewhere about someone sending the baillifs against Wizzair that is quite hilarious. I would love to see someone do the same to Ryanair. Question is, should you be the one to take that role. You are entitled to the £220, if your flight was from the UK. If it was TO the UK I suppose it is more of a grey area... though the airlines I know have been using £220 as standard. Not that surprising for Ryanair, the worst cheapskates in the universe, to go for the lower amount, and if you forward this to the CEO he will probably have a jolly good laugh and give his accountants a verbal bonus. After all he's the one who said and I paraphrase "F*** our customers, they'll fly with us again anyway". While we would all love to see Ryanair get wooped in court again, I have to join my fellow posters in thinking it's not worth the hassle for (hypothetically) £7 and not sure it will expedite the payment either. It's already an achievement that you got them to accept to pay.

    • 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.

Just dug out my paperwork so am going to list the details I have from the 2 loan agreements. The second loan was used to refinance the first. They were both signed in the office and when I tried to cancel one of the loans just after signing but they told me it was "non cancellable" and drew my attention to the top corner of the form which said "Non Cancellable Unsecured for use on Branch premises only". Their clause says the PPI was optional but when i siad I didnt want to take it cos it was too expensive they said I wouldnt get the loan. Not sure what the arrangement fee is?! Also not sure if i perhaps had an earlier loand or if Refinancing refers to me getting cheques to pay off loans with other companies? Will be sending SAR's and CCA's off tomorrow.

nikkiandmidgets,

 

In reply to your post:

 

1.This is a clear case of misselling of the PPI.

 

2.Regarding the cancellation of the loan - probably there is no argument to say that the finance company acted in an inappropriate manner.This is because you attended the finance company's office and were not put under any duress or pressure to sign the loan agreement.

 

3.However,the loan could possibly be unenforceable as mentioned in my first post within the "PPI refund success" thread that I started.

 

4.As soon as you get your S.A.R - (Subject Access Request),post the reply here together with all the figures from both loans or send me a PM so I can help you further.

You must be as bad as me for being up most of the night\early morning! anyway thanks for that info, I have sent off the SAR so will update when I get more info. Got Macadam aswell that I have sent a combined SAR\CCA request - they had really high rates, I only have a copy of one of the agreements and it doesnt state the PPI but I know I HAD to take it. They were a part of Progressive I think it said and Welcome has taken them over. I think in total I had about 6 loans from them - most paid of the previous loan. Finally sorted out my finances though and my credit rating (Git a bit screwed at start of this year due to marriage probs though!!) so dont use these companies anymore cos more mainstream lenders will lend to me now. One thing that bugs me is when I took the loan from Associates, they looked through my credit file, saw I had a loan with Macadam, took the balance outstanding on that and asked me to guestimate what it would be at that time. They then persuaded me to pay off Macadam with part of their loan. I got £1252 from them to pay Macadam but turned out my balance was nearer £4000 with Macadam and paying the cheque from Associates in didnt make any difference to interest due on loan as it only reduced it by the amount I paid in which in effect means I paid high interest twice on that £1252. Looking back I cant believe I agreed to it. Was stuck as to which lenders I could use and my mum was always getting into money problems - rent arrears\threatened with eviction etc and I was always bailing her out. Will be interested to see what docs I receive from Welcome though and if there is any mention of insurance.

Hi

 

Can anyone give me some advice, my partner and I have had two or even three loans with The Associates, one after the other. They date back to 2002 at least and I cannot find any paper work relating to these. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can find out my account no, we were so ripped off, I would love to be able to claim and get back at them.

 

Thanks
