    • 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

 

Got my list of charges back form mint, but they were in the form of a spreadsheet and just had months, as opposed to specific dates.

 

Is this breakdown enough to start the process of letters or do I have to go back and ask them for the exact dates of the charges?

 

Thanks

You will need the exact dates to accurately calculate the interest.

so template one on this page http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/6986-data-protection-act-non.html is the way to go?

 

They also provided me with a nice explanation of how manual intervention worked, but didnt actually give me any cases of manual intervention about my account (if any)

Yes obviously send whichever one is relevant to your scenario so far. Worth noting that what you are doing in a Subject Access Request is for a full disclosure of all information that the bank holds on you. Because the banks know why you are doing this, they are simply sending out a list of charges to you because they think that that is all you should require to make your claim.

 

What seems to be the case more and more is that what they actually supply is incorrect or is incomplete. A list of charges is not acceptable - you want ALL the information they hold on you and that means a list of all the transactions on your account not just charges. The easiest way they can supply that is in statement form. It is also the best way to ensure they don't miss any charges off. A friend of mine had a list of charges he pulled from internet banking and the list he was sent by Lloyds was £1,000 short! Bear this in mind!

It is worth stressing this in your response IMO.

Well yesterday my statements finally arrived, along with 1 sheet of manual interventions - though it appears to log when I logged into the online site for mint - it only goes back around 9 months so part of me thinks this is incomplete! - would I need this manual intervention data if (or when) I need to take the charges claim to the court level?

Logs of when you went online? Wouldn't be of much use to you in court!

 

As long as you have all your statements - not just 6 years back, but all your statements, then carry on.

Finally managed to sit down and fire up excell. The total in charges is a nice round £500.

 

I decided to go down the contractual route but will settle for full charges if they offer them before any mcol/court action stages.

 

Using different spreadsheets has produced slightly different results:

using the " 15 Throughout claim with contractual interest" from Vampipress's Chamger gives me a interest on penalties of £107.39, bank interest on penalties of £46.58 and interest on interest on bank penalties of £7.30

 

Using the "England - Advanced - Excel" from http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/182-6-interest-calculation-spreadsheets.html gives me no specific breakdowns just a total of £145.63

 

Is there a "better" spreadsheet to use?? at the moment I think I am going with the CAG one as even though its lower CAG has been the claiming back bank charges brand to trust!

 

i'll keep you posted when I fire off the letters and what repsonse I get - seams mint claims are lacking recently
