    • 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.

OK, Statements received yesterday. Have transposed the charges details to my excel spreadsheet, and have £2769 worth of charges. The cheeky b*gg*rs. Same old story of snowballing charges. Well this time its going on next years holiday!!

 

Noticed that the statements only went up to 29/8/06, and I know I've had a plethora of charges since. So they haven't even done the S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) right.

 

Looks like a trip to the branch tomorrow then.

Hi Matt - sorry to bother you but am really interested as you have already won!

 

If you don't mind me asking - what level of interest did you demand from RBS? Did you just request the charges back or did you ask for interest as some people are at a higher rate (eg. authorised or unauthorised rates from the bank?)

 

I have totalled up my charges and they seem to come to just over £1000. I say seem as I still have 1 or 2 to check out as I don't know what they are for and therefore whether they are reclaimable.

 

I still haven't figured out how to calculate which bits of the HUGE amounts of interest I have been charged are down to the charges (as my overdraft limit has changed tens of times over the period)

 

I really want to get the prelim letter out but don't want to mess up right at the start! Would you mind talking me through a bit? I'm going barmy on here with an overload of info and no idea about spreadsheets!

 

Thanks SO much!

I didn't charge interest on it as they settled out of court. Interest at 8% would have been added if it had gone to court via MCOL.

 

What I did was:

 

Send the SAR to get my statements.

 

Put these into the spreadsheet.

 

Used the formula for working out the daily interest.

 

Added each column, i.e. the actual charges and the daily interest on each charge at 8% APR.

 

Initially claimed for the charges only.

 

Won

 

If it had had gone to court, I would have added the interest.

 

I will PM you with info re the interest calculations

Thanks - that would be really helpful. Sorry - I wasn't very clear - I didn't mean the 8% exactly as I am trying to calculate how much of the interest that they have charged ME over 6 years I will claim back.

 

I intend to ask for contractual level of interest on the lot also. which I will ask for right from beginning letter as suggested on here... I think it's a valid request that will stand up in court so will go for it and se what happens.

 

Thanks for your help!

Hello Furzle

 

sorry for the delay

 

The rate of interest is usally found on the letter they send you telling you they're going to charge you £28. This 'maintenance' charge is for going over the overdraft limit (which, in my case, happened when they actioned a DD that would take me over the OD limit).

 

The problem here, maybe, is that you would have to work out which bits of the interest charged relates to you going over the overdraft limit (I think). The sums boggled me, so didn't bother. I didn't think it would have come to much though. Their APR for this, I believe, stood at 29%.

 

I don't know how far you would get charging contractual rate from the start, but good luck.

Well, the preliminary was sent 15/11/06, and I have had diddly squat back off RBS. With my first claim I at least received a get lost letter. With this I have got nothing, which is getting me a little worried. Has this happened to anybody before? Are RBS changing tac?

 

In any case, i sent my LBA today.

Received an answer to the Preliminary, 3 days after sending the LBA. Usual babble, the words fair, reasonable and transparent made there way into the text, which is ironic, as they are anything but.

 

T minus 11 days till moneyclaim online.

Its been almost 2 weeks (1 day shy) of the deadline in the LBA. I'll probably wait 'til Monday, but, regrettably, it looks like I'll be doing the MCOL thing.

 

Really nervous about claiming online. I have got a good claim particulars I found from trawling through the website, but I really hope an offer is made before I have to do this.

Hello

 

The date is now 9th January. The LBA was sent 2/12/06, with a response to the original prelim received 4/12/06. Have had a hectic Christmas and new year where we were away for a good portion of the time. Returned home last week to find it had been burgled, so all in all, not good. So I've not had chance to keep things up to date.

 

Up to yesterday, I had no response from my LBA, and in fact E-Mailed Tommy McClean my LBA and charges schedule just in case it had been lost internally at RBS (was sent recorded delivery, so i Know it got there) some time before christmas.

 

Tommy responded:

Because of the volumes of this type of claim we are currently seeing :D, it is unlikely that we will be in a position to respond soon. If you feel unable

to bear with us meantime, it may be appropriate, therefore, for you to move matters down the legal route.

 

I then received a letter yesterday apologising for the delay and asking us to bear with them.

 

Do you think its a stalling tactic, or they really are up to their necks in it.

Or should I do MCOL now, which is looking pretty good anyway, as i get an extra £700 interest.

Hello

 

Is this correctly filled in?

 

1. The Claimant has an account xxxxxxxx with the Defendant, opened 1999. Since 17/08/01 the Defendant debited charges and interest in respect of purported breaches of contract. 3. Defendant is aware of all details as a list of charges has already been supplied. Another copy will be sent. 4. Claimant contends: (a) The charges exceed the Defendant's losses caused by the breaches; (b) The Term permitting the Defendant to levy such charges is unenforceable under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999, Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and at Common Law. 5. Claimant claims: (a) return of the amounts debited of £2996; (b) Interest per S.69 County Courts Act 1984 of 8% - £645.58 continuing at 8% until judgment or settlement at a daily rate of £0.00022; 6. Alternatively, if the charges are a fee for a service, then they must be reasonable under S.15 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982. 7. Costs allowed by the Court.

 

I have set this all up on MCOL, all I need to do is click the submit button. An extra £645 with the interest at 8% included!!!

show your charges total with out the 8% interest. You show the 8% interest on your spreedsheet.

have a look that this link it should help http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/681-4-particulars-claim-n1.html

OK, is my thinking right here.

 

Using the spread sheet, I have a total of £2996 in charges.

 

On each line item, I have used the formulas given to work out the number of days, and work out the interest at 8%. This totalled to £645.58.

 

For the daily rate of interest I am taking £2996 x 0.00022 = £0.66. Is this £0.66 correct?

Alternatively, if the charges are a fee for a service, then they must be reasonable under S.15 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982. 7. Costs allowed by the Court.

 

Is this OK?

Other than that, sounds good to me!

 

I doubt that you'll get all that in on moneyclaim, if I were you I'd type it and complete an N1 form which you can download from the HMCS website.....IMO it's a better way of doing it anyway seen as how you get far more room for POCs. Send 3 copies of everything into the Court along with a cheque (£120 in your case I think).

 

Good luck:)
