    • 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

 

Having spend a bit of time reading some threds this evening, I have been inspired to take on HSBC.

 

When I opened a student account with them in September 1999, I was told I 'may as well' have a credit card - for emergencyies - and that their card protection came with it. I was told I should take it out as I could put all my other cards from other banks on it too. (I remember this bit clearly as my mother wasn't all too keen on sending me off to university with a credit card!!)

 

The policy was annual and they write to tell me when they are taking the next payment. This is always something that I thought I needed as that was what I was told at the outset and I have never thought otherwise....until now!

 

When completed my personal banking this evening, it would seem that I have had my HSBC account upgraded. Reading someone of the perks I get as standard made me think carefully about the annual policy and if there is anypoint to it.

 

Anyway, I have come to the conclusion that I don't.

 

I hope someone will be able to help with with a few questions. Is this the kind of thing that I can claim back? I feel I was mis-sold this policy and the fact that I was only 18 at the time of taking it out, they probably saw a young girl about to leave home for the first time!! What should I do next? I am happy to write to the bank, and have some idea of quotes and things I can put in the letter to let them know I am serious.

 

Can anyone give me any more advice? Have I got a claim or not?

 

Many thanks

Thanks so much! I have had a read and written a letter. I have explained in the letter that the customer service advisor failed to explain the policy to me and consider if it was in my best interests etc etc. I have also put that I was made to feelt that I had to have the policy - I hope it is enough.

 

Should I just given them 14 days to respond? I feel that I need some offical jargon to put at the end about what would happen should they fail to respond - do you have any ideas or phases?

 

really appreciate your help - I really have no idea if I am doing the right thing!!

  • 1 year later...

Actually cancelled my CPP back in 2007 but got a letter through the post so filled it in using one of the many "advice posts" on here. Just banked a cheque for £83.09

My girlfriend had hers returned so again used one of the "advice posts" on here and got a cheque for £209 BONUS.

Many thanks to all who posted great info.
