    • 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

 

Wow this site is amazing!!! My bank has been my worst enemy for years. My bank is the Bank of Scotland

 

I have had money problems going back as far as i can remember, all started when i lost my husband in an accident, him being main wage earner etc etc. I have had alot of head in sand phases and i dread to think how much i have been charged over the years. I am still in trouble with mortgage and car finance which i have posted in other sections, but its my bank that have took money at the worst times and have 'kicked me when i am down'. They have caused alot of stress to me and therefore my children when life has been very hard for us. I run my own business which i am building up but the hard times are still there if work not going well so i still hear from them when i need the stress the least.

 

I am sending off the data protection letter tomorow and have some questions, i apologise if some have obvious answers, just don't want to go wrong, i do have a good understanding of the procedure - I think!

 

First a silly question - Can i send a typed letter or does it need to be in my own handwriting?

 

Also, how do you advise i send the £10 fee? i.e cheque, postal order, i take it i shouldn't send cash.

 

I read somewhere on here that you can phone them to ask for the transactions and charges and they will take fee from your account. Is this the case or would it be better to send letter?

 

Also, i have been banking with them since i left school when i lived in Scotland, had a joint account with my husband then following his death it was put into my name, can i ask for transactoins from when it was a joint account and before that? The main bulk of charges relate to the time i lost him as i didnt have money to pay for anything untill i sorted myself out

 

Also i have changed my name by deed pole since then, can i still ask for transactions in my previous name.

 

Lastly i was reading instructions for sending first data protection letter and in the notes it says you must include all details the bank need to identify you, and if it doesn't the bank has right not to reply could you advise what details you mean?

 

Many Thanks in advance and to the people who run this site i thank you so very much, means alot that i could get back money i always felt was 'stolen' from me

 

Kind Regards
