    • 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've reached the point with my claim against MBNA for mis-sold PPI (self-employed) that I must make a decision on what course the claim should now go.

 

I have 2 credit card accounts with MBNA that had PPI and the total I just checked is now up to approx £17k including interest they have charged me.

 

They put the claim on hold pending the judicial review, but I haven't heard from them since 2nd March 2011 where they told me they wouldn't deal with the claim until after the judicial review.

 

I've written to them about 6 times since March 2nd this year and not had a single reply. All letters sent recorded delivery, so I know they were signed for.

 

Looks like I have 2 options and wondered what people thought I would be best doing :-

 

1. Log the complaint with the FOS and let them deal with MBNA, but this will obviously take a very very long time now

2. Go to court, which I believe to be daunting as it's over £5k and much more of a formal affair than if it was a claim under £5k (maybe i'm wrong?)

 

Any advice appreciated.

 

Should I phone them and ask them when they intend to reply?.....i'm reluctant to discuss the case with MBNA over the phone as i don't trust them.

 

Thanks

Look at sections 140A and 140B of the CCA - these were inserted into the 1974CCA by the 2006CCA and came into force in 2008 retrospectively.

 

From my understanding of it and current use of this with A&L / MBNA you don't need to start a claim against MBNA you simply make an Application to the Court for a ruling that they have not treated you fairly using section 140A and then under 140B the Judge can make an order against them for repayment of charges, interest etc. It must be done in the County Court and Notice Applications can be as quick as 3 or 4 weeks. I think if you were suffering hardship you could ask the Listings Clerk for an early hearing date. Under the explanatory notes to these sections it makes it clear that the onus is on the creditor (MBNA) to demonstrate to the court that they have treated you fairly. Refusing to respond to letters or to resolve a genuine complaint of mis-selling PPI for months is not treating you fairly.

 

I will post a more detailed overview next week when I know the outcome of mine.

OK I called MBNA a couple of weeks ago and they confirmed my PPI claim had still not been looked at, but they would send me an update in 10 working days. Their time is up as 10 working days have passed.

 

I started the claim beginning of this year and i haven't heard anything since 2nd March this year, despite sending 6 letters by recorded delivery.

 

The total claim is about £17k and I just don't know what to do as they simply won't communicate with me, so i don't have their final response yet.

 

Anyone got any suggestions for my scenario?

 

Cheers

Hi Citybloke

 

While waiting for turtlesnapper's update, why not give the fos an informal call, tell them of your problem and see if they can give you any advice as far as they see things. If MBNA are simply not communicating with you then I think you are perfectly entitled to fos having a look at it.

 

As you say, £17k is well outside small claims procedure

Called the FOS today and they said I had waited long enough and as MBNA had not replied to any of my letters, the FOS will take on my case. The guy on the phone at the FOS took all my details and game me my reference and is posting out the form to complete etc...

 

So i'm on the FOS system now with a reference number!

 

MBNA were clearly not taking any notice of me, so now I feel better handing over to the FOS.

 

I'm sure it will be a very long wait now, but at least it will be dealt with.

 

Cheers

Quick question...i'm struggling to make my monthly payments to MBNA and they are putting the pressure on due to arrears....what should i do in this case?..........they have my PPI complaint sinnce Jan this year and the amount i'm claiming back far exceeds the balance on my account.

 

Just wondered if I could get them to put payments on hold until they give their final response on my PPI claim.

Hi

 

As your claim for ppi exceeds what you owe them I would just pay £1 per motnh until its resolved. By doing this you show that you are not trying to get out of the debt but due the account being in dispute and covered by your ppi claim you will make this reduced payment until the matter is resolved.

Cheers ims............will write to them

 

I think it's fair as they have broken the rules by not dealing with my case.

Hi All

Update on my claim is that MBNA eventually responded not upholding my main PPI claim against them, so I'd passed my complaint to the FOS about a month ago from memory and they wrote to MBNA. Beginning of this week I had a letter from the FOS saying it could take up to a year to get assigned to a FOS adjudicator which wasn't greate.

This morning i've had another letter from the FOS saying that MBNA would like to settle my complaint as a gesture of goodwill. No figure is mentioned, but MBNA have agreed to settle the complaint based on the general approach the FOS takes when they decide that a consumer has been mis-sold PPI.

So i'm taking this to mean ALL PPI premiums returned + compound interest + 8% statutory interest - If this is the case, then great result!

What are you guys thoughts on this?

Cheers

Hi

 

This is getting near a final result...excellent.

 

Before agreeing to anything you will want to see the figures. So many of these banks try and get you to sign agreement without telling you what the figures are.

 

Let them know that you want confirmation of the amount of the award and breakdown of how it is calculated before you are prepared to sign acceptance.

 

Regards

Hi Citybloke,

 

I've had a long drawn out saga with MBNA culminating in them upholding my complaint (also credit cards, also self-employed) but got lucky and I didn't end up at the FOS. When MBNA upheld they supplied a basic breakdown (totals only for premiums, interest and 8%). I had to push them for an actual breakdown of their calculations to double check it and fair play to them they'd reconstructed as the FOS would have done plus I later pushed for additional interest to take into account how long it took them to actual settle up after they'd upheld the complaint. Don't settle for anything less.

 

If you need to ring them at all to chase anything call 0800 08451409 to go straight through to the PPI department and avoid the whole world of pain that is their normal customer services department. If you're doing everything through the FOS then you can keep the complaint on-going if the amount MBNA offer doesn't look right and get the FOS to keep chasing MBNA if they seem to be taking an age to do anything - you can check with your case handler at the FOS about that to be sure.

 

And well done!!!!!

Score Card

 

For myself, family and friends......

 

WIN! MBNA - £8,000 CC PPI + 3 months interest for delayed refund

Awaiting offer HSBC - MPPI (via FOS)

Awaiting final response Barclaycard - CC PPI

Awaiting final response Morgan Stanley - CC PPI

SAR sent HSBC - CC PPI + Loan PPI

SAR sent GE Money - Store Card PPI - not holding out much hope as very old account
