    • 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 there,

 

I wondered if anyone could offer advice on how to get started with reclaiming bank charges? I reckon my bank have crippled me with charges amounting to around 3 grand over the past 6 years, even though i have been a full time student all of this time. Is there a letter format i can use? Does anyone have past experience with the RBOS on this matter? i would be very greatful for any advice at all.

Hi Nicola,

The best way to get started is to read ALL the FAQs and as many of the threads as you can spare the time for. There are a number of dedicated folks here, (Not me I hasten to add, I'm just here to do the same as you), and they have arranged this site as an aid to recovering your money for you. Virtually all the information you will require is available in the FAQs and letter templates, spreadsheets and sundry other things are also available in the Library.

I have spent over a week so far just browsing the FAQs and threads, trying to get a real feel for the procedures and trying to work out all the possible pitfalls, since I have all my statements for the last 5 years, I reckon to be ready to commence in the next week or so. Since I doubt you do have all that information, you will need to send your bank the DPA latter (In the library) to request that information, and note, that it gives the bank 40 days to comply, so you will then have plenty of time to browse this site and get your fiduciary education!:D

As I said, almost everything you need to know can be found on the site here in the FAQs, but if you genuinely can't find something, post here in your thread and someone will be sure to have an answer for you.

 

Best of luck:p
