    • 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.

I wanted a loan to consolidate my existing loan with Smile, and a number of other lines of credit i had. I applied for a loan and eneded phoning a lady in finance. She went through all the details and agreed to a £5000 loan with a repayment of £84 a month. As this fitted within my budget I agreed over the phone to it. She said she would get all the paperwork ready and sent out to me.

 

On receiving the paperwork, the repayments had gone up to £114 a month. When I phoned to query this, I was told that the other loan was now not availible to me, nothing more, no explaination as to why. This new repayment was at my budget limit but as circumstances had changed a little I was more in need of the loan so signed the papers.

 

My question is, can I do anything to enforce the original verbal agreement, or am I now stuck with the loan I signed up to?

 

I have been repaying this loan now for 10 months, which adds up to £300 more in repayments than the original phone agreement!

Hi

 

Personally I think you're stuck with the loan you signed up for.

 

They offered you a product/ papers which you queried and subsequently agreed to them by signing for the higher repayment loan so I reckon you're kippered.

I had PPI on my previous loan, which was a condition of me getting the loan. I also had about 3 late fees applied during the entire loan too. But to be honest, for the amount i may get back if I claimed, it just doesn't seem worth bothering with as it could turn the bank against me and, it was my fault i was late paying.

 

Any fees Ive had due to my errors, Ive accepted. Any fees ive had due to the bank's error, Ive questioned or complained about, and they've refunded.

 

PPI was not included in this new loan. Instead they advised I should get it, but it was up to me to do that if I wanted it.

If the PPI was made a condition of a previous loan, you can reclaim it. This was a common reason for mis selling.

you can reclaim ALL FEES & THE interest they charged you on them

 

if 1 loan was refinance into the 2nd they charged you PPI INT on INT

so you need to work that out too
