    • 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.

Hello everyone

 

Just wondering if someone can help. I wrote to Cahoot a few weeks ago asking them for a copy of my T&Cs from when I took out my loan in March 2003. They wrote back saying they don't actually have them so can't send me any. What do I do now??!

 

Has anyone else tried to get PPI back off Cahoot? I didn't know I was paying PPI until May this year and I'm finding this process difficult because it was purchased over the internet. I've not finished paying off the loan yet either.

Hello KV,

 

You are still paying the loan and you do not have a copy of the terms and conditions of the premium.

 

Did you send a SAR, or just write a casual letter to ask.

 

If you did not do a sar send one now. A full sar asking for every piece of information they have on you. There are a few kicking about the ppi forum. If you can't find it give me a shout.

Hi KennyV. I'll be interested to see how you get on with Cahoot. They are next on my list for a S.A.R. I'll also be checking for PPI as well as charges.

 

;)

I'm midway through the tunnel, but getting closer to the light.

I got my response today from cahoot - all they've sent me is a list of the payments I've made to my loan since it's been open (including the PPI) and a standard letter basically saying 'ok, you've asked for your statements so we know you're going to ask for your bank charges back but you're not going to get them'. WHat's THAT got to do with my loan?!?!?! And surely there should've been some more information with my statements - like my agreement for example??! Is there anything else I should have received? In fact. they said they'd send me my agreement before I sent them the SAR, but I never received it. I left it as I thought i would get it with my statements.

 

What should I do now?

Wondering if someone can help me again...

When I took out my loan I had been in permanent employment for less than a month, previously to that I had been on temporary contracts (at the same company), lasting from 4-6 months at a time. Does this mean I have been mis-sold the PPI? Sorry but I find it difficult to get my head round what the T&Cs say.

Also, I have been on anti-depressants for over 7 years, so surely if i claimed for time off with stress (not that I've had any) I wouldn't be covered because I had this condition when I took out the loan and the PPI? I don't recall being asked about illnesses but then again as I did it all on the net I'm not sure I would remember anyway.

 

Futher to the SAR thing, I've requested by credit agreement be sent again.

 

If anyone can give some advice I would really appreciate it.

Hello Kenny,

 

Please read around the ppi forum, you will get info regarding ppi and mis-selling. It is also important to try and get your heard around the terms and condition you have regarding ppi.

 

If they have not sent your credit agreement with the SAR, send a non-compliance letter (bank template letters),

 

Consider also sending a request for your ca under the cca you will find the letter to send in the general debt forum in the stick Creditor template letters, you need letter N. It costs £1 and of course there are legal timelimits.

Its been a while, life has been too hectic since xmas.

 

Cahoot have still not sent me my credit agreement. The last letter I sent them was the non-compliance letter on 13th Nov. After this they sent me some more information but still no cca.

 

Should I know send them the letter stating they have still not complied and if they don't within the next 7 days then i'll start a court order? I feel I've given them enough chances to supply me with this though as I asked for it 2 or 3 times before I sent out the official SAR letter.

 

I'm also a bit confused as to whether I start a claim with moneyclaim or complain to the financial ombudsman, which would be the best route? Does anyone know of any threads where someone else hasn't received their cca and has pursued it via the courts?

 

Thanks :)

Hello,

 

Did you send them the legal request under section 77/78 of the cca.

 

Creditors and DCAs - Letter Templates & Budget Planner Letter N.

 

By law if you send this, they must comply.

They've sent me my £1 back! Still no sign of the CCA yet though. They've got til the end of this week....

 

Hello KennyV,

 

You just send the £1 fee back straight at them and tell them to send you true copy of the CA. Let them know you are serious;)

Right their time is up and I haven't received anything, I've been having a scout around the forums for what to do next but it's a bit confusing. Is it right that I now wait another month and then it becomes a criminal offence? Is there a letter I should send them stating this?

It's 12+2 working days and then after 30 calendar days they are in summary criminal default. You do not need to do anything.

 

I am not sure from quickly scanning your thread, but did you send the S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) off?

I'm midway through the tunnel, but getting closer to the light.

Hello Everyone

So what's claimable if they cannot produce a signed CCA?

 

Will you have to pay back just the loaned amount without interest?

or

Is it the Interest you can claim back?

 

I ask as I have 3 accounts with them: Current, Credit & Loan.

 

I'm in the process of claiming charges back on the current account & Credit Card & wondered if there's anything I can claim back on the loan as they don't appear to add charges to mine JUST THE DAM INTEREST!!!

Test Signature........

Hi this sounds all too promising as i have cca'd cahoot also and they say they have sent it but it never arrived so their complaints team contacted me and said they would send it again which was last week and it still hasn't arrived!!! Oh, happy days!! They'll get an offer of a £1 month if they can't find it and like it!

Hey Muppy, good luck with your claim. Don't follow my example and not follow up with your threats within the timescales you've set! I still haven't started the court process, I have been very busy lately but that's no excuse. Anyway, I'm going to send them a letter stating I believe they have mis-sold me PPI on medical and employment grounds, and seeing as they can't provide my CCA to prove I signed up for it then they had better pay it back!

 

roboticboy - I'm not sure what happens if they can't produce a CCA, I have read through several threads on this but I find it all very confusing as to what the procedure is :/
