    • 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 to all BWs.

A question that increadingly keeps coming up lately is how long the Banks keep their statements.

I understand we have some info from NWSM lately but was wondering if any other BWs would like to comment on it?

Of course I am referencing pre 2000.

And also as to whether it is archived on fiche.file or PC ?

Martin- I'm sure from reading the threads that I have posted you may well be aware that I suspect NatWest may well be able to go as far back as the beginnings of Computerisation back to 1991/1992. I do know the notes system of the old NatWest PLC system does that with info on charges, marketing notes, complaints and interview notes. I know that those notes can be accessed by all branch staff, that is notes re:October 2nd 2002 and beforehand.

Thank you for that.......I do remember you hinting on this recently.

I remember you saying something about when the Rbs took over they changed things ? and that archive could be found but it would take 2 weeks or so ?

 

The reason I posted was that some claimants (tho only a few) have gone back longer.......these are the ones who have had statements and tied it all in.

 

So we can assume that NatWest and Bos actually do have them.

 

Info from other quarters is (as suspected) thin on the ground.............

If any BWs are reading this.......you dont have to contribute to the thread...or indeed the site,but there has to be some purpose to be here........why not enjoy it.

Natweststaffmember is a bank employee too.......but knows that at the end of the day.no automation could ever replace humans......no machines can look after the kids........no computers can make the dinner.....feed the dog/cat

or put the washing out on the line.

These things we take as part of daily life.........they are important simply because we have to do them.........

The difference between switching off a terminal in the bank when you finish work is probably only a security screen............I ask again and ask you hopefully when the security screen is well outta sight

 

How long does your bank keep statements ?

 

Answers please before Christmas.................:rolleyes:

lol Martin

 

Martin rather than add a new post I thought I would edit my last one. NatWest can go back to 1991 when computers were brought into the branch network.

Barclays can order copies of your statements going back 12 years

 

Wow, but if they have to order them, does that meanthey are stored by an external michrofiche company? Any BWs know how much (ball park) it costs the banks to acquire say 1 years worth of pre-6 yr statements? Just interested to compare it with what they may all quote as charge to pass on to enquiring customer.

 

Thanks in anticipation, and sooo glad you BWs are doing your crucial bit for integrity and decency! :-)

How long do banks have to keep details for?

 

 

 

Tuesday April 3, 2007

Guardian Unlimited

 

Q I am trying to trace an old account of my father's, who passed away over 15 years ago. I was wondering how long banks are required to keep account records?

MP

 

 

A The really simple answer here is: forever! Seriously, there is no statute of limitations for how long banks have to retain account monies. Accounts become dormant when banks have reason to believe the accountholder address they hold is no longer current - perhaps because they have had returned post or there has been no activity on the account.

Article continuesarrow9x7.gif

Params.richmedia=yes&spacedesc=mpu&site=Money&navsection=4210&section=110264&country=gbr&rand=2959101

However, dormancy does not mean accountholders - or their beneficiaries - lose their rights to the funds in those accounts. Rendering accounts dormant is part of the banks' move to prevent fraud and money laundering. And it basically states that, after 15 years of non-contact, where it seems unlikely the bank and customer will re-establish contact, any funds in the account should be re-allocated to some form of social fund for community projects. Even then, the banks are required to retain a proportion of these funds, in perpetuity, in case the legal accountholder or their heir seeks to reclaim those funds - because the customer's right to those funds remains protected. In order to trace your late father's account, complete the dormant account form on the British Bankers' Association website. Even if you are unsure of all the details of your father's account, the BBA should be able to help.

could not think where to make this post but it is already on MSE but NatWest online banking will be making changes(again!!) to the terms and conditions of which one aspect relates to statement information online. It will be available for 7 years. I believe that the date for this will September 2008/Ocober 1st 2008
