    • 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.

Just started the ball rolling with Barclays. I originally had put a complaint in against them regarding how they operated my account. I got a letter from from which was crap so i rang to speak to someone who said nothing could be done so go to the financial Ombusman, which i am doing. But whilst i was on i decided to ask for a statement of my charges, She initailly said they can only give me copy statements. I then mention the DPA and she suddenly remebered, funny eh?, She didnt ask for a payment for this and said she will sort this out, I mentioned that she had 40 days to do this. I also got a reference nu,ber form her for this as well. She also gave me a direct number to the complaints dept, bypasses all the dial 1 etc. The number is 0845 609 0806 if it helps anyone. Anyway I will keep th eforum updated on my progress.

Make sure you follow the FAQ's otherwise your claim could be delayed. I would send a DPA SAR from the library, then you also get details like manual interventions on your account. They may try to use them in their defence so it helps get you forearmed. Also only deal with the bank in writing, you can use this in court rather than rely on memory or notes from a telephone conversation.

 

Also could you please stick to one thread, it helps us follow your progress and offer support and help.

 

Good luck

 

Steve

Hi!

 

Just wanted to say welcome and give quick reply to your post! :)

 

I have complaint/s with Barclays also....before I started to claim back charges etc.

 

They do tell you to get in touch with the financial ombudsman...but you have to be referred to the ombudsman by Barclays usually....and this is when all other ways of resolving your comlaint have failed.

 

The ombudsman will probably tell you that until all possible avenues are exhausted with Barclays, they cannot get involved!

 

I know this seems unfair, I am still dealing with Barclays over my issues that started in Feb this year! :mad:

 

Seems to be that Barclays use delaying tactics, so how long it takes to explore all these different avenues - I don't know! :???:

 

All the best with your claim and your complaint!

 

Keep us posted on any developments!!!

 

All information is greatly appreciated on here!!! :-D

You don't need to involve the banking ombudsman to reclaim your charges. (however much the bank wants you to). If you read through the FAQ's it explains exactly what to do

Thx for that BlueSkies, I will also send a request in writing. I'm only using this thread for my claim. I was just saying how i got my initial DPA request, although I admit it was a bit long winded, sorry.

A manual intervention is where a bank manager looks at your account, decides to/not to charge you a bank charge or makes some other alteration to it. This is vital in uncovering the actual cost to the bank of you exceeding your limit/bouncing a chque/dd.

 

Most banks are refusing to provide this information which means they would find it very hard to use the information in court. The banks don't want to confirm that the charges are automatic either.

Got Acknowledge of my DPA request for list of charges.

They sent the standard response - stating that they will send copies of statements FOC instead of a schedule of charges.

I wont post the letter details as I know its on a few other peoples threads.

The 40 day clock has started as of the 18th (Ends Sun 27nd August)

Is It 40 running days or Working Days Though?

Got a letter from 'Mandeep Panesar' @ Barclays saying that they have ordered a copy of my statements and they will be with me shortly.

Do i respond to this letter letting them know how long they have left to comply with my DPA request or do i just wait ntil the 40 day deadline?

Recently Barclays have started to cancel my Direct Debits.

On one instance last month they cancelled my car payment (RFS) which lead to me recieving a charge fom the RFS (will be claiming back later), so i phoned them and paid the installment plus charge and set up the DD again.

Lo and behold Barclays have cancelled this one again.

Barlcays say that i cancelled the DD and not Them.

They have done this to my mortgage as well, and the Mortgage company (BOS) have said barclays have done this to a number of their customers and advised me to change account.

Does anyone know whether I claim against Barclays for at least the Charges i am recieving.

Should all this info be listed on my SAR details? i.e who cancelled the requests?

I have another account in the process of being set up, but Barclays just wind me up and make me look bad to my creditors.

I have spoke to the Financial Ombudsmens, but they seem to be Barclays best mate.

 

Any Thoughts?

I have this problem with barclays as well. I got told by a member of Barclays that it is a new security thing they were doing and some payments that had been set up would be affected.

 

I was then told if I rang the telephone banking number, they could speak to me and authorise the payment. I was mad beyond words at this point.

 

The only way I have found to pay someone is to either go into my bank or try and get the online system to do it. But that does not always work.
