    • 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

 

I was wondering of you could all help me make my mind up about this.

 

Same old story..............

 

Had statements back, worked out £1563 owing. Letter sent, then 2nd letter. Cheque received for half - £781.50. Returned cheque stating no deal and cheque returned back stating their position was unchanged and feel free to contact their legal department.

 

So my quandry is whether or not to go through with it.

 

Do I need the £781.50 now? Well, it would be nice, but not dire.

 

Full claim with interest is £2002 ish - that would be nicer.

 

YB seem to be the worst bank to deal with - the most aggressive (or should that be arrogant!), bullish, and intimidating.

 

If I take action, from reading previous threads, it will take me 6 months.

 

I have a parachute account open and ready.

 

If I start proceedings and they start playing silly idiots like withdrawing my overdraft without notice, I shall be annoyed.

 

If they close my account without notice, I shall be fuming.

 

If I accept the cheque and go away quietly, I am £1k plus down

 

If I accept the cheque and they still close my account and withdraw my overdraft - I shall be committing myself to the asylum.

 

I read the threads on MSE which give me dutch courage and go through long periods of "lets do it!" "hmmmmmm - 2K! what a nice holiday!"

 

Then I read the more detailed thread on here and I think "you are insane - take the cheque and run - it's £781.50 I thought I had lost forever"

 

I know I should have destroyed the damn cheque - then it would be job done.

 

Please supply dutch courage and tell me its worth it and don't let them win - or tell me I'm ahead and quit now before it gets nasty!

:confused:

Help!

I have posted below about not knowing what to do. Apart from my current account with them, I also have a Visa card on which I owe about £8k.

 

Can they call the Visa card in if I continue to annoy them by reclaiming my charges on my current account?

 

That is obviously going to factor quite highly in my ultimate decision.

 

Thanks

No they cannot recall the VISA card in because you are reclaiming your money taken by them for unlawful charges. Welcome to the CAG family, and Good Luck

Thanks - when I say call in, I mean close the visa and request payment in full.

 

I really want to be crystal clear on this before making my decision - claiming £2k in bank charges is one thing - having them demand 9K on my visa is another!

 

Really appreciate your help and advice.

Hi

 

I have today received all the information from the SAR request on my Yorkshire Bank card. My CCA application was enclosed with the bundle of stuff.

 

The CCA has been faxed through to them from microform.

 

The CCA is one of the three fold applications.

 

No prescribed terms on signature page. Am on laptop at the mo so am unable to scan it in.

 

At the delcaration section it states:

 

... bound by Yorkshire Bank Visa card conditions of use (as set out overleaf and in accordance with Condition 10) with which I confirm I had had an adequate opportunity of becoming acquainted before signing this application.

 

They have no provided the overleaf section - as it is one of those tri fold leaflets.

 

So my questions are:

 

Does it still stand that prescribed terms must be within the 4 corners and therefore on the signature page?

 

Is "overleaf" unacceptable?

 

What about the part about having had adequate opportunity of becoming acquainted with terms?

 

The form is identical to the one posted here at #6

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/108282-mtb-yorkshire-visa.html

 

Any thoughts please

If they haven't provided the complete agreement, including the terms and conditions (the overleaf bit) then how do you know what it actually states on there?

 

the short answer is no, it is not enough, they need to provide you with a copy of the entire agreement so that you may establish whether it is enforceable

Going through the statements, they have not completely complied with my request either. Account was opened in 1996 but only have statements from 2005?

 

Does this have any implications?

Without it sounding silly - do application forms not constitute agreements though - although it says application form it does also say credit agreement?

 

I thought i had read that application forms can be viewed as agreements.

 

What about referring to terms overleaf?

Subbing to your thread flowers.

 

I have the same thing, posted here in my thread: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/254316-dealing-marlins-2.html

 

All I got was the front page of the application form; no terms or anything.

Marlins haven't even entered into a dialogue about whether it is correct or not, they just bumped me to Mortimer Clark, so I guess I'll be asking for help on what to do at court next.

Am in a panic now - clear days includes weekends???

 

So DN dated 18.10.10

 

if we take it as second class - date of service is 22.10.10 and 14 days after that is 5th November??

 

Don't suppose the fact that I was out of the country between 18th and the 26th would help would it??

Just going back through my records.

 

I obtained my CCA through a SAR request. I also did a CCA request which was never replied to.

 

On 01.09.10 I wrote to the YB advising them that the account was in dispute due to their failure to reply to my CCA

 

In November 2010 I advised Jeremy Sutcliffe Solicitors that the account was in dispute and enclosed my letter from September 09 to the YB

 

I have received correspondence from the YB advising that there are delays in dealing with my complaint.

 

Now Sutcliffes have issued proceedings.

 

At the moment I am planning on responding to the claim form stating that I intend on defending the claim.

 

As YB have failed to reply to my CCA request, I am thinking of going for CPR disclosure to see what they come forward with - I see on other threads they have then tried to send a different agreement??

 

Any thoughts?

 

TIA

CPR31.14 is a good start.....and it should be tailored to the particulars of the claim so you should request, agreement, default notice, termination notice and statements for the duration of the account - have a read here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?241827-Legal-Action-how-to-start-off.-IMPORTANT-IF-YOURE-BEING-SUED(1-Viewing)-nbsp

It seems that you have had 'card protection' for a long time may I assume 15 years worth ? I wonder how much that would be if added together with compounded interest. I am wondering if you could possibly counter claim for the payment protection + charges.....

Hi and many thanks for your reply.

 

Am having a read through CPR 31.14 and 31.15 thread and will adjust to suit.

 

Re the account number showing........ I was going to raise this as my next point. My claim form and all my statements (and the card itself) show a different account number?? How relevant is a different account number??

Thank you - have amended and requested previous to be deleted.

 

Reading through CPR rules now re disclosure. Any thoughts on the discrepancies with account numbers??
