    • 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.

3 weeks ago I asked for a redemption statement so I could repay my mortgage. The first statement that sent included £195 final repayment charge an interest payment that I couldn't understand how it had been calculated and a monthly payment that had not been credited to the account.

 

I questioned these and was told that Id agreed to the final repayment charge when I took out the mortgage and the interest payment was calculated pursuant to terms id agreed.

 

The next redemption statement was correct save for the interest Of £84 and the £195 fee. I took issue with this again but got no where.

 

I rang the FOS and they contacted Barclays and registered a complaint. Ive just spoken with their complaints dept and they now acknowledge that my mortgage offer did not include a repayment charge and they have failed to justify the £84 interest they've debited and are now saying the two redemption statements were just for illustration purposes.

 

I accused them of Fraud pursuant to section 2 Fraud Act 2006.

 

I await their next response.

 

Naughty, naughty.

when I initially challenged them they said the fee would have been included in "your mortgage" offer and therefore contractual. When I told them I've got the original from 2002 and there were no provision for a am early repayment and/or an interest charge they said it was mandatory. I've asked the complaints team to listen to the recoded calls and I've asked for copies.

 

I have no idea how the final interest charge has been calculated and the person in complaints didn't have a clue either. 😂

Hi Paul,

 

....... and the person in complaints didn't have a clue either.

 

No surprises there, then !!

 

But it's terrible, what they tell you, assuming you have no proof from way back when or that you would not be inclined to challenge them in the way you have.

According to Barclays their system automaticaly includes all historical charges in redemption statements even though in lots of cases the mortgage offer doesn't include one.

 

The question I asked is how many people have been charged this (system error) when they shouldn't have been.

 

Im informed they'll respond in writing once they have sought advice because theres now media interest.

Received the banks response. The banks system is set up to charge every customer an exit fee when they make the final payment notwithstanding the original offer may have not included a fee........very naughty!!!!

 

 

 

The case will feature in the National press a week on Wednesday.

Why haven't you claimed it back. I claimed the fee back on my old mortgage as it should only represent the cost of closing the mortgage.

The Woolwich has hitherto failed to explain how the interest was applied and whether it was applied pursuant to the original terms and conditions. They agree that the statements provided are neither clear nor transparent. I await their further response.
