    • 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.

Quick update.

 

An Egg employee has agreed verbally that they have cocked-up on this and indeed the termination letter did mean that there was no contract in place.

 

Be nice if they would put that in writing ! :eek:

 

What is your latest situation with your action over this (PM if you like ;-) )

Don't think that is likely.

 

Lawyers are awaiting response from Egg.

It would seem that they don't have an active legal department.

Do you mean no active legal department or just that the one they have is ineffectual ? :wink:

You are free to make your own interpretation.

:D Well I suppose whichever the result is the same ! :roll:

 

PS: I'm still awaiting Egg's reply to my 'dispute' letter in which I mentioned the 'termination' letter as well as 'approved limit' and 'charges on default'.

They are stuck on the termination letter.

They don't know how to defend it, and are thinking hard.

Had another contract lawyer look at the termination letter today.

We have three opinions that the letter breaks several areas of contract law.

 

Will not go into any details - for obvious reasons - we await the Egg to respond.

I don't think we will get a response from them.

We will give them until end of March to respond.

Hi

 

Been reading this thread with some interest after a quick search on google for 'Egg Card terminations' as I wanted to know if anyone had taken Egg to court following the mass terminations last year.

 

My O/H received a letter from Egg a few days ago (dated 6th March)

saying the following so looks like another lots of customers cards have been 'ended' !

Just to confirm he has never missed a payment and is not in default.

He recently asked for an increase in his credit limit and was refused!!

He is now gobsmacked at recieving this letter.

 

Letter from Egg:-

 

Your Egg Card will not be renewed.

 

Dear Mr XXX

 

At Egg we are committed to being a responsible lender and review credit card accounts in the period prior to the expiry date of the current card.

 

Following a review we have decided not to issue a replacement when your current card expires and to end your credit card facility.

This decision also applies to cards issued to any additional cardholder.

Please be advised that this means after the expiry date you will not be able to use your account and any regular payments such as monthly subscriptions will not be paid. You should contact your service provider to arrange cancellation and alternative means of payment.

 

If you do have a balance outstanding on this account you will have to continue to pay at least the minimum payment required under your Card Agreement each month until any debit balance on the account is repaid in full. The Card Agreement continued to apply until the balance is repaid in full.

 

If you'd like to discuss this letter, or your account, you can contact our Customer Services Team on 08451 233 233

 

My O/H did call Egg initially asking why they have done this and they just kept saying it is a company decision due to the credit crunch!

Is this a replay of last year or is it damage limitation do you think?

 

I am waiting to see what happens before I raise a dispute with them myself now.....

A bit of both, trying to reduce outgoings whilst maximising incomes.

 

The have subtly changed the wording of this new 'termination2' letter to more comply with the CCA.

 

I think all they are achieving is a bad name for Egg.

I'm still waiting for them to send me a copy of the termination letter I was sent last January - bet you ANY money that I end up with one of the new style ones. Shame I haven't got a copy of the original. :-(

TheKat1979 - Taking Control!

 

Taking on -

Barclaycard via HFO - daft application form sent

Barclays Current Account - at AQ stage - fingers crossed asked for Hardship

Egg - various issues! Are about to default me on a disputed debt!

Bryan Carter CCJ set aside - looks to have been set aside without a trip to court! WOO!

This is yet another bit of proof that they messed up with the original termination letter. And boy-oh-boy do they know it.

 

What they have done to your o/h is perfectly within their rights, and they have done it correctly this time (assuming your transcription is accurate).

 

Although, it also is clearly not written by a legal expert.

 

It does also reinforce the widely spread rumour within banking circles that yet more jobs will be gone in the UK due to greed.

Unless they have done any recent dodgy increases on the interest rates of any outstanding balance - which might be considered unfair by the Financial Ombudsman.

 

It does also reinforce the widely spread rumour within banking circles that Citi are allegedly winding-up are certain UK part of their operation.

 

Eddie, this thread has persuaded me to move my savings out of Egg and into a safer bank that pays a lower interest rate. When I called them up to do the transfer they never even tried to persuade me out of it.

Hi,

 

I'm sorry to have to disagree with other contributors to this thread who seem to think that Egg are just about keeping within the provisions of CCA 1974.

In my opinion, Egg are doing this in a mistaken belief that it falls within CCA, in contrast to the mass termination letter, which even they now realise falls outside CCA.

The letter sent by Egg to your o/h is just as invalid as the mass termination letter of last year, - for the following reason;

 

Egg have indicated to you that any regular payments out of your Egg Card account such as monthly subscriptions to a third party will not be paid. EGG CANNOT DO THAT!!!!!!!

As you have not breached the terms of the agreement (i.e. you are not in arrears), the most that Egg can do is restrict or defer your right to draw on credit.

I know this sounds confusing, but to take two examples,

 

1. Egg is acting totally within it's rights to not provide you with further credit - by, for example refusing to provide you with a new credit card.

 

2. Any previously arranged/agreed monthly payments out of your Egg account fall within the term "restricted use" credit. Therefore such previously agreed payments must be honoured by Egg - They canno just leave you in the lurch by stopping the payments out of your Egg account.

This is covered by, for example, S11(b) of CCA 1974. Additionally, a court would regard it as an unfair business relationship within the terms of S140 of CCA1974.

 

Hope that makes sense.

 

Regards

Peter
