    • 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.

My mum phoned me today to say she has had 2 phone calls from capital something asking to speak to me.

They wont tell her anything and just say they will phone again another time to talk to me.

I closed my account with them 5 years or so ago but had a maxed out £3K credit card with PPI for a number of years.

I was going to send off a SAR to them but it appears they might want to contact me instead?

Anyone been approached?

I did phone there customer services but they cant access my account details and said I should write to them.

Hi there

 

You say you closed your account but it was maxed out? Can you clarify please.

 

I doubt whether they are contacting you to offer you a refund....doesn't sound like Cap1 to me.

 

If there was a debt then it is more than likely they are contacting you because its getting close to being Stat Barred.

Hi

 

So no debt on the card....if you're sure then probably nothing to worry about. In any event, if its that important they will write to you.

 

You mention ppi on the card. If this was mis-sold you can claim it back if you wish.

You shouldnt telephone them.

 

Make your initial request for refund of mis sold PPI by letter, send either recorded or special delivery post and keep the receipt.

 

If you dont have all your statements, then send a Subject Access Request to Capone.

Well Got all the info today!!

No point being paranoid about signatures as they do keep originals on file you know!

My original application form is there with PPI ticked as NO

There data screen dump shows PPI Required NO

1st statement has PPI added along with the next 3 years or so!

Now going to put it all in a spreadsheet and work out what is owed to me.

I hav'nt looked at the option of adding interest yet, can someone point me in the right direction of what I can claim? is it based on APR?

Sounds Like Open & Shut Case to me then

I've attached a spreadsheet which will do the calculation for you.

 

You only need to enter list data in columns A, B and C. Change the APR figure in the blue section to the rate they were charging you for purchases. The daily rate below it will alter itself. Amend your personal details in the blue section. This si then your Schedule of Claim (SOC).

 

Fire this sheet off to Cap1 together with a completed fos questionnaire (download from fos website) and a letter reclaiming the ppi payments and stating on what grounds you were mis-sold.

 

Personally I like the templates here...

Don't be surprised at how the interest your claiming mounts up....it can amount to quite a bit on a credit card claim.

This makes my claim over £3K for £880 PPI charges! Does this seem right?

Do I put the end date as today or when the PPI ended in 2007? I cancelled it in 2007 when people started finding out about the [problem].

The interest rate for purchases was 26.94%

I had previously filled out the same spreadsheet but at 8% statutory interest which came out at £1200 ish.

I need to make sure I get this right so they dont try and fob me off too much (I know they will and am happy to go to court.)

Like I said....compound interest can mount up to quite a sum.

 

If you're happy you have entered the date of the payment in column A, the nature of the payment in column B and the amount of the payment in column C then the resultant figures will be fine. If you want me to check it, post up your spreadsheet (MINUS PERSONAL INFO) and I'll take a look for you.

 

The end date is right up till now....after all, they have had your money up till now.

Hi

 

Looks fine to me.

 

Funny, I thought I'd formatted column C as a currency column. Still never mind.

 

Ok so fire this off as advised above. As you're happy to go to court, you can set the timescales so I would start with the first letter giving them 14 days to repay the money.

 

Regards

Ok going to print all this at work tomorrow and send it of pronto.

These loosers have really ticked me off, I was sure I was miss sold this and now I know for sure. No policy details on file, no signed agreement, boxes ticked no on forms and computer.

These people are crooks and should be treated appropriately.

A few last questions before bed.

Is there a LBA Template that I can mod, In my case I was not sold PPI but rather just given it without knowledge. I have no records of agreements from CAP1.

Do I go in with LBA straight away or do a preliminary letter first?
