    • 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 All

 

Okay, I have been reading around this site for the past few days and am now ready to send a preliminary letter for refund (no need to send Data Protection Act letter as I have access to my statements via internet banking). HOWEVER, after having looked through my statements for the past 6 years, I AM NOT SURE EXACTLY WHICH CHARGES I CAN CLAIM FOR.

 

My queries therefore (which I could not find on FAQs) are:

 

1). Can I claim for charges applied to my acoount due to 'card misuse'?

2). Can I claim for overdraft fees (in my case, of the four times in 6 yrs I have been charged OD fees, I have been charged £25 OD Fee and £75 Excess OD Fee, both fees applied to my account on the SAME DAY!!! If I am overdrawn, I don't understand why they must charge me twice although I'm begining to realise that it's all part of their money making [problem] ....)

3). WHAT ARE 'TOTAL CHARGES'? I appear to have been charged 'total charges' on several occassions IN ADDITION to the individual charges applied to my account in the same month. Can I claim back total charges as well??

 

 

Please help!!!! I don't want to over-claim or under-claim.

 

Thank you.:)

1). Can I claim for charges applied to my acoount due to 'card misuse'?

yes you can, they are typically £10

2). Can I claim for overdraft fees (in my case, of the four times in 6 yrs I have been charged OD fees, I have been charged £25 OD Fee and £75 Excess OD Fee, both fees applied to my account on the SAME DAY!!! If I am overdrawn, I don't understand why they must charge me twice although I'm begining to realise that it's all part of their money making [problem] ....)

yes, again you can, and they charge you because (they think) they can

3). WHAT ARE 'TOTAL CHARGES'? I appear to have been charged 'total charges' on several occassions IN ADDITION to the individual charges applied to my account in the same month. Can I claim back total charges as well??

total charges refers to them having a set fee for you going over your o/d but its a daily fee and as they charge per day , they add it all up and slap it on at the end of the month hence "total charges", not to be mixed up with the one off fees like card misuse, d-d return etc,

 

hope thats cleared it up for you :)

Thanks so much for reply Maverik..that's definitely cleared things up for me in the main..it's amazing how much money they quietly deduct from our accounts..without us noticing it..that is until now of course!

 

Will keep this site posted of my progress..hoping to post prelim letter tomorrow.....

Just drafting my prelim letter..just checking I didn't misunderstand reply to my previous email...

 

Now that I know what 'total charges' are..can I claim them back? Given that they are calculated daily for every day I was overdrawn that month, can I claim back the whole amount or just that portion of the 'total charges' that`was due to the penalties levied????

 

Thanks!

Just posted my prelim letter by Recorded Delivery today ( after spending ages making photocpies of my statements and other paperwork at work yesterday!). I'll give about 2 days for delivery (I posted just before 5.30 tonight) so expect them to receive it by Friday at the latest when I shall start the clock ticking....then let battle commence!!......

 

Just so you know, I'm claiming for £1,185.90 in charges alone. Will calculate the 8% interest nearer the time.

Just received a letter from Mr Langdale in the post today, asking me to swend a full itemised breakdown of the charges including date, description etc..What a bloody cheek! I enclosed a full copy of my bank statements and the breakdown of charges (spreadsheet) with my prelim letter and I refuse to spend another penny on them unneccessarily (as if they haven't taken enolugh of my money already). There is a contact no. at the bottom of the letter but I probably won't get to speak to him himself especially as the letter wasn;'t even signed by him.

 

I refuse to send them further documentation which will only inconvenience me even more. I sent them all the info by recorded delivery which they should have received all in one envelope (seeing as that's how it was sent).

 

Should I just write back informing him that he should already have all that info. Does anyone know of an email address I can use rather than sending another letter which will take another 5 days to reply to and cost me another recorded delivery fee?

 

I won't be drawn into their stalling tactics:mad:

Hi Guys

 

Just thought I'd post an update ..I've been inundated at work lately and haven't had a chance to visit the site much recently..

 

Recap

Printed off bank statements from internet (cuts down time if registered for internet banking!!) for last 6 years

Calculated charges of £1185.90

Sent prelim letter to Phil Beaumont on 5/7/06

Enclosing copies of bank statements and breakdown of charges (spreadsheet)

Gave them 14 days to respond

Reply from Colin Langdale 10/7/06 requesting copies of bank statements plus breakdown of charges

(They should have had all that information!!!! Obviously just stalling)

Sent a further letter (2nd prelim I guess-not LBA) on 3/8/06 venting my frustration at the request for copies of statements even though they should have received all of it the first time around (proof of recorded delivery on post office website). Nevertheless, sent further copies (I had 3 copies anyway-just in case this very thing happened;) )

Gave them further 14 days to respond, otherwise will send LBA

 

Update

Reply from Colin Langdale 17/8/06 (1 day after 14 day deadline) making offer of £1080-No conditions attached, BUT £105.90 less than asked for.

Considering accepting offer and not pushing for outstanding £105.90 which will mean more tooing and frowing letters between me and them.

Will be requesting the money be refunded to me as a cheque rather than paying into my account (which is currently overdrawn, though within my OD limit!!)

 

TOTAL DAYS from initial claim to 1st offer is 44 days/jabout 6 weeks (though would have been less if not due to being really busy at work thus not responding to Colin Langdale sooner!)

Not as tortuous as I thought it would be - proved to my boyfriend that it does work!!!!

 

Thanks to www/moneysavingexpert.com BUT SPECIAL THANKS TO THIS WEBSITE!!!!! Donation on its way.

 

:D :D :D :D :D

Just my opinion but why would you let them keep £100 of YOUR money? Sending a few letters costs a few quid at most (lets call it a fiver), well you'd get that back with a hundred quid on top of it, which you could easily use to take the other half out to somewhere really fancy for a nice supprise meal.

Currently taking action against the HSBC for £2465

I do agree, but worried that if I reject this offer, they won't make me another one and I'll lose out completely for the sake of £100. Not sure of outcome to others who have been in this situation. Any advice????
