    • 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 all

 

I am just starting the fight for my charges which I estimate at around £4000. But my question is:

 

A few years ago when the clever working tax credit people screwed up my claim and stopped all my payments I hit V hard times. My overdraft ended up quite large and the bank advised me the best course would be to take out a large loan to pay it off ie; get myself clear - I have since discovered that part of the loan was to pay off my old loan (fair enough) but the rest was to pay off a whopping £1700 in bank charges!!! I am now in 5 yrs of debt - paying loadsa interest etc

 

Where do I even begin with that - what can I do about it? :confused:

Well obviously the £1700 can be reclaimed and I'm sure that that bring into doubt the validity of the loan amount. better check with some whose good at this sort of thinking. sorry couldnt be of more help. try a pm to a mod or helper

This situation of loans being taken out to cover overdrafts etc made up of charges is something that is coming up quite a lot at the moment and the mods are aware of it and are looking at the implications and possibilities.

Please note that I am not a legal expert and all advice given is without prejudice and is purely my opinion only.

you are not alone !!

 

I have been persuaded by the RBS for years to 'consolidate' my overdraft into a loan, which comprises of charges, resulting in me having a £20k loan which i was struggling to repay hence remortaged our home last year to cover it

 

Am really interested in what the outcome will be on this as I have just had a call from the RBS to say that they have been taking £38.00 out of my account for years for no good reason, and are going to investigate it and get back to me, but if these £38.00 's contributed to my overdraft which then contributed to my huge loan, how on earth is someone supposed to unravel that lot ?

 

I've known about it for years and have always queried it but they always seemed to have a plausable reason for the charge, seems they have changed their mind now !

 

Don't want to hi-jack your thread so have opened on myself further up

 

Does anyone know when someone will be able to advise us on this?

 

cheers

 

Amanda

 

 

 

 

 

Onwards and upwards !!

:grin: Hi all

 

Cant believe its been so long since all this started and havent been able to get online much at all till now, but......

 

I WON!!!! RBS settled my loan mis-selling comlaint - after a helluva lot of fighting. I basically put my entire loan in dispute, they kept trying to take payments, I canx the direct debit 3 times as they said I couldn't do that haha. they then just took money frm my account to cover payments out of the blue. I threatened them with court and they finally stopped taking money. Fought some more - being told things like "my borrowing is my own responsobility" etc.

 

Finally received a letter saying they are wiping my loan (outstanding approx 3K just now) if I agree to a reduced amount of £750 to pay back over a term of my choice INTEREST FREE. (fair enough, that amount wasn't charges) and they refunded £1100!

 

I am waiting to hear about my basic charges claim for my main account but just for all those folk who were in the same boat back in august -we can win! If you were advised to take a loan to pay a debt of charges, go for it, you can win!

 

If I can help anyone please just leme know as Ive had loads of help from the good folks on this site and will be donating asap - this site is just what this country needs
