    • 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

 

 

A few years ago we took out a bridging loan with Lancashire Mortgage Corporation/now Together.

 

In the documents sent to us was an "Offer Letter" which confirmed the amount to be borrowed ,rates of interest etc but NO mention of any renewal fees of 5% of the total loan.

In fact in the letter it states "Exit Fee-£0".

Very misleading.

 

It was however mentioned in the Bridging Loan Agreement and this was missed by us, solicitors and broker (allegedly) !!!!

 

We are taking legal action against the solicitors and broker but this company Together are completely out of control with their charges and it has cost us a very large 6 figure sum.

 

We have placed numerous complaints to their Internal Complaints team but each time they hide behind the fact that the loan was not a regulated product.

 

Has anyone else suffered as a consequence of this dreadful company ???

 

 

hi - first post so sorry if doing wrong.

 

I know someone (I'm trying to help them) who has also suffered dreadfully at this hands of this company. I am trying to ascertain what exactly can be reclaimed. If you look around the forum it seems like there is at least some things that can?? I don't know yet if it's just charges per se or interest as well.

 

 

Please don't take my word as gospel but it is my understanding that if its a second charge on a residential property then it is regulated business. I believe Together are regulated by the FCA and thus must be carrying out regulated activities??

 

 

Hope my "2 cents" are of some use to you. Good luck with everything and you have my utmost sympathies for what you've been though

If you have kept all of your statements from Blemain then you shouldnt need to sar them.

If you dont, get a sar off to them with the statutory £10 fee asap and lets start reclaiming all those charges and the interest they have charged on top.

 

Click the SAR link and edit it to suit your circumstances, you are in the right place to do this yourself, look for other bkemain/together threads via the red cag search bar above for information and always come back to your iwn thread here to ask any questions.

 

may I ask please - the interest that can be reclaimed, is that interest applied to charges (letter fees, etc) or does it also include the extortionate interest they apply to the loans, the renewal and exit fees, etc?

 

thank you for your help

Did you actually take out a bridging loan or was it actually a mortgage.

Any Bridging loan should have been in the name of the associated company Bridging Finance Ltd.

Lancashire Mortgage Corporation should only be for mortgages otherwise there breaching FCA rules on trading names.

 

My loan was a 5 year precomputed mortgage.

On LMC taking me to court for possession it was still down as a mortgage it was only in their reply to defence and counterclaim did their barrister switch their argument to being a bridging loan rather than mortgage.

 

This fraud is now being dealt with by the SFO and FCA.
