    • 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 with RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland) and I got charged about £300 one christmas because they take there money before the weekend is over.

 

Any way I contacted them and asked if they could resolve it anyway as I will only have the same money coming in as I did last month. If they were not going to give me a refund then I would get charged the same every month afterwords. This refund was refused and as predicted £300 the month after in charges and again and again.

 

Now I am £3000 overdrawn (£1000 overdraft) - I asked them to put my account on hold pending the outcome of this court case and they said no - they have told Triton to contact me and are treatening to send baliffs round etc.

 

Might not have been a good idea but since I have been to the local branch twice and told them I am getting baliffs into the branch.

 

Why do they think they can threaten me into paying when they wont allow me to claim bank charges until the outcome of the court case.

 

I dont mind waiting for this but I refuse to pay bank charges which could potentially be illegal.

 

Need some advise please....

 

Cheers

Steve

Hi, Steve.

 

First time I've seen it done that way.

 

Have a look at the step-by-step.......

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/faqs-please-read-these/31460-example-step-step-instructions.html

 

That's the way I've always claimed back charges.

 

You need to take your claim all the way to court. It will more than likely be 'stayed' but at least your claim will be in the system.

 

You could try sending the Bank this letter..........

 

 

Dear Sirs

 

Re: Account in dispute

 

I am writing to clarify that I am currently in the process of requesting a refund of bank charges unlawfully made to my account.

 

I note from your latest correspondence that you are proposing to instruct Debt Collectors to contact me. I need to make you fully aware that I am disputing the sum owed and, as such, you must refrain from any further action until this dispute is fully resolved.

 

If you do not stop this action and proceed by making any adverse comments on my credit reference files, I shall be forced to take legal action against you under the Data Protection Act 1998.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

I'm not sure what else you can do at this time, hopefully someone else can help.

 

Regards.

 

Scott.

Any advice I give is honest and in good faith.:)

Hi - Thanks for replys,

 

I have already sent a similar letter but hadnt worked - I am no longer using this account.

 

After the above was hand delivered they were quite shocked (they even told me they were gonna place the account on hold) but since failed to do so.

 

I just dont want triton and co threatening me over these charges.

They have to provide you with a true copy of the agreement. It doesnt necessarily have to be the exact copy that you signed. HOwever if they want to proceed at court they will have to produce a copy of the ORIGINAL that you signed.
