    • 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 thinking of checking with BoS on how much they had taken from me, not as much as my ongoing case against NatWest I think, so I may just send off for a SAR first. I may or may not try to get back my money as I have a good ongoing relantionship with them. But there are some questions I would like to ask first, I opened the account in Edinburgh, Scotland, but I am now in Manchester, England. So which law applys? Or it does not matter as the (est) amount is less than £500 anyway. The reason I may not want to take action is as I said, a good relantionship, and I have a 0% overdraft with them. Even if I get a backup account, I will not get the 0% overdraft, and I do not want to loose that.

If £500 is right, then the court dosent matter, but you can claim in England if you want. Also as regards your overdraft, any enforced change to your banking conditions may be deemed "retaliatory action". That said, it is a bit of a grey area.

 

I suppose you could could commence action then negotiate an amicable solution if they threaten to take your overdraft away. At the end of the day, its your call (personally I would just go for it).

 

Hope this helps in some small way.

I just had a quick calculation yesterday, it is just over £160. But I have some gaps in my statements. So until I send my SAR off, I wouldn't know.

 

Those who had claimed from Bos before, how negotiatable are they?

When I looked in my old statements (old style pre 2004), I noticed that my charges are only £8.50 each. Can I claim on that? If they are willing to negotiate, I will be happy to drop those as there are only about 4 of them in the £160 total.

A quick question to those who had claimed from Halifax.

 

I had charges listed as (example) "Charges to 30 Apr" £8.50 on the old style statements. But nothing happened on 30 Apr that will warrant such a charge. Instead it did go OD on 13 Apr. Is this what the charge refers to?

 

And the charges listed on the new style statments just reads "Charges as Notified" £20.00 with nothing else to indicate what they may be for.

 

Are these the items I will be claiming for?

No replies, not surprised. :( Anyway I am sending off my first letter to BoS today. Claiming for £218 in charges and £ 37.75 in interest. If they are willing to discuss, I am willing to accept a 75% offer (+/- 5%).

I am filling in the forms for HMCS website but they state that the address must be in England or Wales. The address I got for BoS is the Dunfermline one, so does that mean I cannot use HMCS? If so what should I do?

Quoting from 'N1A - Notes for claimant on completing a claim form'

 

When suing or being sued as....

 

a company registered in England and Wales or a Limited Liability Partnership. [in other words a PLC, LLP or Ltd. company]

 

....You must provide an address including postcode which is either the company's registered office or any place of business that has a real, or the most connection with the claim e.g. a shop where goods where bought.

 

On this basis I used my branch address.

I do not have a local branch. The branch I opened my account at was in Edinburgh and even then it no longer exist.

Won full refund of charges, interest and costs.

 

P.S. The correct address to use in England is:

HBOS

Legal Services-Retail Division

Trinity Road

Halifax

West Yorkshire

HX1 2RG

 

Could someone please remove that Royal Bank of Scotland address in the BoS Contact folder? It is not only the wrong address, it is the wrong bank!
