    • 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.

Ive just got my annual plan summary for my Life Insurancelink3.gif and noticed both me and my partner are paying PPIlink3.gif tho i dont remember asking for it or being offered it, as it only pays out after 26weeks hardly seems worth having. Can i reclaim this back and if so how do i go about it?

 

Many thanks

skittish widows will wriggle like hell

 

and you'll prob get the run around that it was the lloyds or C&G rep that did it and they are not responsible

 

they will quote that you agreed to it in your 'recommendatios' statement.

 

go get 'em

 

the mortgage reps i'm sure get a hidden commission for selling this

 

when i did mine earlier on it the year

 

i was bombarded with phonecalls from my mortgage asdvisor from her private phone

trying to convince me I DID ask for it.

 

i did NOT and it got sneaked through.

 

look at the 1st page wording on your per sum and our recs & app dets

 

then i bet its not mentioned there

 

but i bet you'll find it on pages 2/3 were it says:

its WAS discussed with you & is included

 

doesn't say ANYWHERE you WANTED IT

 

just you discussed it.

 

go get em

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

I really dont remember asking for it or agreeing to it, ppi is something i never agree too as i dont beleive in it, it doesnt kick in for 26weeks so hardly seems worth waiting 6months for them to pay just over £20 a month. This is the problem, the women i spoke to about remortgageing works for lloyds but my mortgage is with c and g and the insurance is with widows so as far as im concerned they are who is taking the money each month.

How long have you had this policy ?

Scottish Widows were ordered to pay millions last year for irregularities,and other issues to customers spanning quite some years.

How was the policy taken out originally ?

The first thing you need to do is calculate how much you have already paid.

Then make a preliminary request in writing for it to be refunded.

What is it exactly that you are unsure of at this point ?

The policy is about 2 yrs old now.

The policy was taken out when i remortgaged in 2009 and was offered life insurance

It works out at just over a £1 each month for both me and my partners policy

Just dont know where to start to claim it back, spent ages scanning thru posts, is there a template letter to send do i need to find the terms and conditions?

Ok understand.

Right,first of all you need to establish why you think it was missold or is not of any benefit.

PPI Insurance differs greatly from one policy to another,that is to say that there is no template letter as such for a one fits all use,the letter needs to be specific to what you believe was unfair/that the PPI was no use or benefit to you.

Yes it is a good idea to have the terms and conditions,although most are easily found on the internet.

Its also a very good idea to look around and see which terms and criteria that others have used to claim back PPI in the case of Scottish Widows-I am sure there is no shortage-I will see if I can point you to any CAG cases.

So the process is as follows;

 

1.Identify a case for refund.

2.Make a preliminary request in writing.

 

The focus on PPI and investigations/guidance from the regulators I think began to really start around 2008.

Many Financial Institutions dragged their feet,which led to the regulators ordering them to deal with claimants.

In many cases refunds were made relatively quickly and in some cases they were ordered to make refunds.

But I think as things went on-some policy wording was changed as they became aware of the claims implications.It was only in 2010 however,that the Industry finally agreed to make positive changes,faced with the threats friom the regulators and new guidance.

Some of the main points which have led to refunds include;

 

1.Applicant was not given alternative options which may have cost less or offered better packages.

 

2.Applicant was led to believe that without taking the PPI they would not get the loan/insurance

 

3.The benefits of the policy were unsuitable (Example-the policyholder was self employed)

 

I will see if can find some cases and post here.

Here is an example of typical reasons to seek a refund.

This is a case which was referred to the FOS and upheld in the applicants favour.
