    • 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, I hope someone will be kind enough to enlighten me on the current situation regarding unfair credit card charges.

 

I have received some old statements and on reviewing, there are various over limit / Late Payment charges for £20 from 2005 - 2006.

 

Can I still attempt redress from A & L or am I too late ?

 

Cheers

No it's not too late for credit card charges, and if you have any later ones for £12 you can claim them too.

Thanks caro

 

I will also search site for further details regarding c/card charges as I seem to be getting conflicting info from other sources.

 

I have just had my claim with Barclaycard rejected on the basis that complaint is too late ?

Well that's odd because in our experience Barclaycard will cough up if you start court action! :lol: You would need to mention the Statute of Limitations Act in your claim to get over the fact that the charges are from over 6 years ago. They do tend to wait until a court date is imminent but then they cough up. I suggest that you start a thread in our Barclaycard forum outlining what you've done so far and I'm sure that you'll get advice on how to progress this.

OK and cheers again caro.

 

I was going to issue a LBA anyway as I did mention it and various other details, in which they have not even acknowledged or replied to.

 

I will post up details under Barclaycard as advised including the Final Response Letter.

Just a side note.

 

My cases invovle interest in restitution

To do that you select a Compound interest rate and apply that to the charges.

 

Advantages = Easier to work out. Bank will try and fight it though.

 

Doing the normal interest rate means you have to work out what interest rate you were charged for which charges and when interest was stopping being charged etc. This can be more involved in working out.
