    • 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.

Methinks you haven't quite got the sequence of events down just yet.

 

When you refer to a "prelim letter" are you referring to the first letter asking for your charges back or are you making your SAR?

 

Step 1 = Send off your SAR with your tenner asking for the list of charges/6 years statement.

 

Step 2 = When you have your statements, and you know how much you are owed then write to the bank asking for it back.

 

Step 3 = When they don't send you a cheque/fill your account with rupees you send your LBA.

 

If you intend using the FOS you need to wait 8 weeks after step 2 before you make your complaint.

 

If you are intending using the FOS you can't claim the 8% statutory interest as that is something that is awarded by the court.

 

And yes, you are recommended to use recorded delivery for any dealings you have with the bank where you want to know when they received the letter.

ah right , cheers for your help, what about the ten pound fee for the statements

 

If you are sending the prelim letter there is no need to send any remittance, that is only for Subject Access Request to get statement copies or list of charges and you say you already have your statements.

I used the address that my account is held at

2. if i am not requesting interest do i just take the sentence about interest out and leave this bit in

 

Not sure I wrote claiming interest, but I think it would look kinda odd to include a sentence about something you are not claiming in.

 

"I calculate that you have taken £@@@@@

I enclose a schedule of the charges which I am claiming with this letter."

 

3. what address have i to put on my envelope

 

4. its just the letter and my schedule of charges i include - yes

 

Good luck with your claim!

1. You should be writing to the Customer Relations Unit, The Forthstone, 56 South Gyle Crescent, Edinburgh EH12 9LE. Send by Recorded Delivery just so you can track the letter.

 

2. If you're not actually claiming interest, take out the reference to it, altho I included the interest in my list of bank charges and made a mention to it but did not specifically claim it, just mentioned that if applied to the total of the charges, it would add to the sum claimed back.

 

3. As in address above.

 

4. Yes, altho you can leave in the interest column as in 2. above.

 

Just have a bit patience, you will get your money back.

right thats sorted now, last thing before i post it off, is this the right letter to send off in scotland

 

"I now understand that the regime of fees which you have been applying to my account in relation to direct debit refusals, exceeding overdraft limits and so forth are unlawful at Common Law and contrary to consumer regulations. If you say that they are not, then will you please demonstrate this by letting me have a full breakdown of the costs to which you have been put by as a result of my breaches, in order to reassure me that your charges really do reflect your costs."
