    • 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.

Hi All.

 

Sent off my original claim / complaint letter a couple of weeks back to Welcome.

 

Have had a letter back today stating they are keen to handle my complaint and that they will get the following from their files

 

- The recording of the phone call during which the insurance was first mentioned to you

- Copies of the documents we would have sent to you at the time

- The script that was in place at the time

- Records relating to the individual who spoke to you

 

It then yammers on and says they dont feel they can accept my complaint.

 

Then it says to fill out an included question form that asks about when I first became aware I had a complaint, my exact reasons for the complaint, what i remember from when i took out the policy, what documents was I given, details of my job at the time etc.

 

What do I have to do now? Do I need to fill this in? Can I just move to continue the complaint? Are they actually likely to have recordings? I doubt it as I am sure I spoke with a 3rd party guy from netcars or similar.

 

Would appreciate any advice or help, especially from those that are aware of this reply from them.

 

If needed I can copy in / scan in the letter but I have pretty much covered it above.

 

Many thanks in advance! :)

Hello itrends,

 

welcome to the PPI forum:)

 

Hi All.

 

Sent off my original claim / complaint letter a couple of weeks back to Welcome.

 

Have had a letter back today stating they are keen to handle my complaint and that they will get the following from their files

 

- The recording of the phone call during which the insurance was first mentioned to you

- Copies of the documents we would have sent to you at the time

- The script that was in place at the time

Above in red is all that they are required to supply to you under a Sujbect Access Request within the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998.

- Records relating to the individual who spoke to you (As above)

It then yammers on and says they dont feel they can accept my complaint. If they have not yet supplied the information then how can they possibly accept your complaint? you will need the information so you can establish a viable complaint.

Then it says to fill out an included question form that asks about when I first became aware I had a complaint, (in answer to this you state that you have only become aware of the issue of PPI mis-selling due to the massive media coverage in recent months and therefore you have decided to proceed with a claim for mis-selling. my exact reasons for the complaint, (Mis-sold to you and you will have to provide reasons ie Pre existing medical conditions. self employed etc) Please see these links..........

For claims before 2005 and the FSA ruling from which campaign

How to tell if you’ve been mis-sold PPI

Quick check: were you mis-sold? - How to tell if you’ve been mis-sold PPI

 

all above in here and much more useful information

 

links

 

what i remember from when i took out the policy, what documents was I given, details of my job at the time etc. You are making the claim/complaint let them dig up the information it is up to them to refute the claim for mis-selling not for you to provide any evidence of it. However if you have original documents keep them safe as documents produced by the banks etc can have a stack of information missing.

 

What do I have to do now? Do I need to fill this in? They can ask you to provide information to help them find all the records but IMHO this is a delaying tactic as I supplied info via a questionnaire and copies of documents and today 13 months later and 2 months after settlement they are still sending me special delivery envelopes stuffed with additional info due to the involvement of the Information Commissioners Office. Can I just move to continue the complaint? If you have had a final response then straight to the Financial Ombudsman Service or Courts. your choice. Are they actually likely to have recordings? I doubt it as I am sure I spoke with a 3rd party guy from netcars or similar. If they have recordings they should have been produced to you under the Subject Access Request or at least transcripts of the recordings.

Would appreciate any advice or help, especially from those that are aware of this reply from them.

 

If needed I can copy in / scan in the letter but I have pretty much covered it above.

 

Many thanks in advance! :-)

Hope this helps you out, keep asking and someone will assist I am sure:-)

Hi again all, I have put together my reply to their letter. I wonder if someone may be able to have a read and pull me up on anything that I might be better off not saying, or indeed if I have neglected to included something....

 

 

 

-------

 

 

I refer to my letter dated 15th February 2009 in which I wrote asking for justification that the insurance sold with my loan was sold fairly, reasonably and within my best interests.

 

I am writing in response to your letter dated 23rd February 2009, with regards the insurance sold with my car loan / HP. Your reference is COMP/XXXXX

 

I have included answers to some of your questions as requested, however as you have not provided me with a transcript copy of the recordings, the script in place at the time or documents from the time that the loan was taken out that you mention, I do not feel your letter has offered a satisfactory justification that my policy was sold fairly, reasonably and within my best interests so I request that you look into my complaint again alongside the additional information I have provided as requested by you.

 

The replies to your questions are as follows:

 

When did I become aware that I had a complaint?

I have only become aware of the issue of PPI mis-selling due to the massive media coverage in recent months and therefore have decided to proceed with a claim for mis-selling.

 

Exact reasons for the complaint:

To the best of my recollection, at the time of sale / loan provision I was informed that I was required to take out PPI insurance on the loan amount. I have since discovered this is not a requirement. Additionally the form that was sent had those options pre-ticked and as such was not an option that I made while filling in the form.

 

I have also since found that no documentation was sent to me that detailed the PPI or what it covered / would cover. On re-reading my agreement it makes mention of ‘leaflets’ that would be provided, however no such documentation / ‘leaflets’ were provided. I have kept all original documentation along with separate photo copies within my files during the duration of this HP agreement alongside all the documentation from the car sales office which has allowed me to confirm that this was the case.

 

What do I remember from the time the policy was taken out?

All the communication aside from forms was done over the telephone. As far as I can recollect this was done with an agent on behalf of Welcome Finance in conjunction / as a result of referral from an online car search website. Although the agent I communicated with was polite and helpful, it does appear that the loan itself was miss sold as a result of my above stated reasons and those I included within my initial letter to you on the 15th of February 2009.

 

As stated in my original letter, unless you can satisfactorily justify to me that the policy was fair and reasonable I am requesting a full refund of all premiums, and subsequent interest on these payments, that I have paid to date. As I believe I have been deprived of this money I also expect 8% statutory interest, the amount a court would award, to be added to each payment made.

 

If I do not receive a more favorable response within 14 days I shall be taking my complaint to the Financial Ombudsman which is a step you have also put forward as a recommendation within your letter dated 23rd of February.

 

Yours faithfully,

I have included answers to some of your questions as requested, however despite my request you have failed to provide me with a transcript copy of the recordings, or the relevant documents applicable to the agreement from the time that the loan was taken out. I do not feel your letter has offered a satisfactory justification that my policy was sold fairly, reasonably and within my best interests. I now insist that you look into my complaint again alongside the additional information I have provided as requested by you.

Additionally the form that was sent had the PPI options pre-ticked and as such did not allow me to make my own decision on the options while filling in the form.

 

I have also since found that no documentation was sent to me that detailed the PPI or what conditions it covered or indeed excluded. On reading my agreement it makes mention of ‘leaflets’ that would be provided, however no such documentation / ‘leaflets’ were provided. I have kept all original documentation along with separate photocopies within my files during the duration of this HP agreement alongside all the documentation from the car sales office which has allowed me to confirm that this was the case.

Unless I receive a favourable response within the timescale stated above I will accept your letter dated 23rd February as a final response and submit a full and formal complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

I have made a few changes to your letter of which I hope you will approve.

 

also please see my thread......

 

***Long fight but, WON***

 

if you look at links 91, 96, 116 and 117 you will see my claim letters to RBS if you can use anything in them to bulk up your letter please feel free but remember my case was on pre existing medical conditions.

You will need to start your own thread so all the relevant details on your case can be kept in your own area. This will cover any questions you may have and the responses from caggers with help.

 

Please see the top of the forum for starting a thread button and take it from there. Put in a title a user name/

handle but do not use your own name or any other personal details on addresses, accounts, sort codes, telephone numbers etc. You know it makes sense in the world of identity theft:eek:

 

good luck;)

Well fingers crossed. I just printed and signed and am posting first thing in the morning.

 

I wondered if it is worth saying that I would accept closure of the loan instead of a refund? I only have until the end of the year left and have paid WAYYYYY more than the cost of the car. :)

 

Anywho, lets see what they say. :)
