    • Thank you. Please will you repost your images in one single multipage PDF file – the right way round et cetera.  
    • And just to reiterate – I'm sorry if the message above sounds a bit harsh. We have to get the message out to other people who visit this thread as well. I realise that you are having a difficult time and we will do our best to help you, of course
    • The last photo shows the overflow carpark looking at the block which our room was located. When we got out of the car my partner thought that the building was for staff accommodation.  The unsecured bedroom window opened onto this car park.
    • Also I see that you are doing a lot of this on the telephone – and without any written confirmation. This is a big mistake. You need to start taking this matter seriously and so everything should go in writing. If you have telephone calls then they should normally be recorded. Read our customer services guide. You should make notes about every telephone call and then you should send an email to your telephone correspondence confirming what they have said or what they have agreed. It is important that you keep detailed paper trails here. Of course we may be jumping the gun and maybe big motoring world will step up to the mark – but I'm afraid that they have a lousy reputation has you have seen and so you need to start practising survival techniques and protecting yourself. You say for instance in your letter of rejection that the mechanic told you on the telephone that the gearbox needed replacing. Do you have any other evidence of this conversation? This is going to sound a bit harsh – but other people will be visiting this thread as well for their own purposes. You conducted their research about this company before you bought the vehicle. You now are fully aware that this is a company which can be very difficult to deal with and causes a lot of problems for many of their customers and yet you are still taking a telephone/verbal approach. Do I need to say any more? Also one of the documents you put up is an email exchange but it is not clear who is writing to who or what dates. If you showed this email to somebody in a pub they would be asking lots of questions about who sent the first message, who sent the second message, what dates were they sent et cetera. Please think about this before you post things. Please can you clarify the details of that email exchange. Please will you present the information carefully. We are all volunteers here and we have to rely on you to do the spadework
    • I told the DM that the room was not acceptable because of the reasons already mentioned. He informed me that they were full that night and that they could move me to the room next door (would not solve my problem with the rooms location). Told the DM that I could not stay in the room provided for the night so left no option but to leave. DM did not reply and I walked out.

    • 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.

what i am thinking is

 

How can they say this are the T&Cs when the acc was openwhen they are printed on HSBC paper.

 

If they are then should they not be on midland paper?

 

if they are a copy of the internet or a photocopy how can they say they has not adjusted a few things on the T&Cs to say they are from the correct time.

 

As we no some companys have been accused or have been know to do this.

I have some T&C's from Midland. I think they are 1997 ones.

yes but if you look at these ones, and you dont need to do it carefully, you will see they look like they have been coppied or just printed out.

 

they have the midland wrote on them but in big letters where the letter head normally is they have HSBC in the correct size i think as well.

 

Something tells me they have just been down loaded and printed off.

They probably photocopied them onto HSBC headed paper GM - but if you look closely on #49 you will see that it says :

 

MCP 4111 std 01/98

The terms of use which follow say:

"The agreement is made between us Midland bank plc Card Services .....and you ,the customer .

These T&Cs apply to the use of your Midland Mastercard or Midland VisaCard card numbers and account."

 

Does this help with your observations? :)

i sore that but if they are ones from when the account was opened then they would be a exact copy not a photo copie.

 

i think that as some of the T&Cs cant be read due to the large hsbc logo on them then you cant say they are a exact copy

 

Also so how can we safely say that they have not been adjusted to say they are the exact copys of the originals?

That is what I thought because hsbc logo is over the top of the t and c write so what do you think I should do. Today they have started phoning dad but in the letter they have given 8 weeks.

Have any of you ever had to complain to the fos or t s

 

I have used both and have had pretty good experiences with both. You have nothing to lose by complaining to them. Follow Jonnymitch's advice / link and go from there.

 

When FOS deal with complaints they expect the company to liase with them. I have found that useful with Barclays. When they have tried to continue harrassing me i have 'told tales' to FOS!! :grin: In such cases i have just sent FOS whatever letters they have sent me.

I'm midway through the tunnel, but getting closer to the light.

Certainly on the FOS there is a box asking for the details who is complaining on behalf or someone. This can be a company or relative.

Give them as much info as you can lisa, with copies of correspondence to back it up where possible. It'll help them make their decision on your complaint. It is people who are struggling to pay that the banks are targetting - the more cases of this the FOS sees the better........

 

Take it a step at a time - you'll get there. :)
