    • 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.

Ok. I fyou have told them not to call you, yet they still do, then you need to complain to the OFT, FOS and OFCOM.

You will only get an auto reply a week or two later unless they need more info. However, they collect all complaints and use them against a company if the OFT deems any licence action necessary.

Have you checked your bank account to see if they've helped themselves to your money? PDE are not in the habit of wiping people's slates clean... They much prefer to hound you for months instead :/

It never rains but it pours...

Lol... Strange! Glad you've checked your associated bank accounts and all appears ok.

 

During the course of the loan, did you EVER pay with someone else's debit card? I ask this because... I once paid them an extension fee with my partners debit card, requested that they delete the card information after payment. A few months later my wages didn't go in on the date they should have done and they asked me if I wanted to pay via the card I used a few months ago... Fortunately, my partner had lost her card in that few months and her details had changed anyway.

 

I'm leaning towards PDE have cocked up and sent you that email in error. Their system (and staff) have many hissy fits and like to fire off lots of contradicting emails. The amount I owed increased 3 times in one day once because I got angry and sent them a few emails telling them to foxtrot Oscar :/

It never rains but it pours...

We have never paid with any other card, all accounts have been checked and clear. we think its an error but where do we stand now they have sent an email stating its clear, just going to wait and see i think is the best action. but 100% sure they will resend email demanding more lol.

Well gone from bad to never worse.checked our old lloyds tsb account last night. And payday express have taken £252.00 using the old debt card. Why would the back let them take funds as the account has NO overdraft and was zero balance. What next now lloyds charge

Just had been talking to Lloyds TSB regarding the funds taken from our account

 

1, the account had a zero balance NIL.

2, Payday express contacted Visa stating we have an outstanding balance of £251.00, and confirmed the debt ???????

3, Payday requested the funds from TSB, and they paid the amount, now the account is -251.00, and lloyds are charging fees.

 

During the call Lloyds have stated the as Payday and all that type are linked banks / lenders they are treated differant and visa can clear them to take funds even if the account has a nil balance, are lloyds correct in the statement, we have cancelled cards blocked accounts to stop more claims, but the lady from Lloyds was helpful and confirmed this is now a common practice but there hands are tried. As visa and and payday company are passing inforamtion relating to debt which can be claimed.

 

Can anyone help with information

 

cheers

Well can this get any worse, due to the fact Lloyds have paid the Payday Exprees balance of £251.00, and the lloyds account is now -£251.00 yeo you guessed it lloyds are now charging £10.00 every day until the funds atre repaid in full. Nightmare according to Lloyds Payday Express got clearance from Visa to claim the £251.00 therefore Lloyds had to pay even if the account had a nil balance.

 

Again hitting my head on a brick wall, lloyds say as payday express are a lender they have differant rule relating to payments which we think is a load of rubbish, We have asked for lloyds to charge back to Payday Express but they have refused stating we have to get Payday to refund JOKE. now Lloyds state we must pay into the account £301.00 who the crooks yep all of them

 

Can anyone help please

 

cheers

Hi,

 

I've had the same issue. At the time, I thought they'd only attempted to take the money from my account as I don't have an overdraft and frankly, I'm a little dumb!!

 

Anyway, after three calls to the bank (Lloyds TSB) and a bit of maths, I found they had actually taken the money. I called them again and explained the situation. Basically, they used my old card details to take the money (I'd presumed somehow they'd managed to obtain my new details but the chap in finance said sometimes they try the old details and it's honoured) but as I've told them during their various 8 calls a day back in July and August that I'm with a debt management company, and I've followed this up with emails and letters on 7th August.

 

The outcome is that Lloyds have raised a dispute and if they argue it (as far as Lloyds is concerned Payday Express is aware because I've told them verbally, the debt management company has told them and sent them money so they shouldn't have done it) they will be fined and the money will be returned to me, plus accrued charges, by 6pm. If they agree, the money will be in my account by 6pm.

 

Speak to the bank and kick up a stink about it. Make sure they're aware that PE know of your situation, and the money should be returned.

 

Of course, you may have already dealt with the situation, in which case I hope it went well! But if not, I hope this experience of mine helps you somewhat.

 

Take care!

Hi. Thanks i will be calling and writing to Lloyds tsb as they have now charged £80.00 as the account is overdrawn. We asked fir a repayment plan had no replies from payday express. Lloyds are now calling our home asking when funds will be paid in to clear the account. They were not happy when i told them the account is in dispute, again they state they had to clear the payments as per payday express request and visa. Payday informed visa of the debt therefore visa leared them for payment thus lloyds transferred funds.

 

Will be fighting this lender as we can not pay lloyds fees at the rate of 10.00 day never mind the 251.00 what a mess

 

cheers for the info

I got paid today and was alarmed to find that Payday Express have taken over £1200 from my account. They are aware that I am now with a repayment plan and have acknowledged this in writing but when called today, they basically said they are within their rights to take the money and don't care that I have nothing to live on all month and hung up. I have been in tears all afternoon. My bank have raised a dispute and I am just praying that I will get my money back. Today was to be the start of a clean slate.

Bad times, I've cleared my debt and still receive phone calls at my work place weeks afterwards chasing payment, I've sent letters, spoken to customer services several times including supervisors to be promised that it will be resolved to then get more embarrassing phone calls, Payday Express truly are jokes... how they remain in operation is beyond me, good luck to anyone dealing with them!

Many thanks will email and

post later today cheers

Did you have any joy using this letter? I took a payday loan with payday express through a broker who has now handed my debt onto a collections agency although it's already been paid... I've sent Payday Express and the broker a letter I personally wrote without a template but it went into great detail about the situation, I sent it recorded delivery and I can see it was signed for 7 days ago now... I'm yet to receive a reply, did you receive a written reply and if so how long did it take to receive?

 

Thanks.

Would appreciate a reply to the above question as I'm still having issues with payday express they still haven't replied to my original letter... although no reply has been received I haven't received any more calls directly from payday express at my work place... but I am still getting debt collection letters unfortunately and starting to get a bit worried.

 

Please be aware that all debt owed to payday express has been cleared, there maybe a duplicate on the system or something but I am not aware of this,

 

Thanks.
