    • 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 wondering if it would be worth my husband and I applying for a hardship case on our charges?

 

Like everyone else our charges claim is on hold.

 

My husband lost his job at xmas and has never managed to find any work since. I am a full time housewife (we have 3 little kiddies). At this moment in time we are not in Rent arrears but thats because we have had a college bursary coming in every month which has just covered the rent and we have used our tax credits to pay for food, gas, elec ect.

 

My husbands college course has now ended so our only income now is our tax credits. I dont have a clue how the rent (£500) will be getting paid at the end of this month.

 

We have sold everything we can think of in order to pay for previous months bills. Our car has been reposessed and our gas and elec has now been put onto pre payment meters as we couldnt pay the bills. We are in massive council tax arrears to which we are supposed to be paying £30 a week on but we cant afford it.

 

Our bank charges claim was for £2414.72 (not including the interest). With that money we could pay our rent, sort out our council tax and buy a cheap car to make finding work a bit easier. It would also be nice to have some money for my kids b'days and xmas. My youngest turned 1 in April just past and I felt awful, he barely had any presents and we couldnt afford to take him anywhere to have some fun for the day. My eldest will be turning 7 this Sept and like every other girl her age she wants a party! I cant work out how am buying her a b'day cake let alone any presents or a party!

 

Any advice would be great, thanks guys:)

It does tick a number of boxes for me, but you need to start the process. If you haven't written to HBOS then write and include the spreadsheet for hardship from CAG(an income and expenditure form) or the common financial statement, link is here: Money Advice Trust - The CFS budget forms and preparing a financial statement

 

Ask them to treat your case as hardship. Explain the circumstances in which your income dropped and the effect that the charges had on both your budget and on income to pay the priority debts.

I think the charges sound a little low for my liking. Have you gone back to July 2001?

Hi yourbank thanks for getting back to me. The account was only opened in 2003 so all charges being claimed are going back to that date.

 

I will have a look over your links just now. I need to go to the post office tomoz to send a letter off about my car being reposessed with no court order so I would quite like to get a letter off to the bank at the same time.

Scott.

you count 8 weeks from receipt by them of letter 1 just to clarify(however that is specifically if you are looking at the FOS route).

8 weeks!!! some hardship process...lol :)

 

What is the other route?

 

It's standard timescales on complaint handling. If it goes through the FOS it is a further 12 weeks providing all documentation is sent and no further requests are made to you.
