    • 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,just to let you all know I contacted the Woolwich by telephone (01255 477032),(this phone number is for all to use and its their Customer Care number),asking for details about getting a copy of all my old bank statements so I can calculate the charges.I was told this would be a charge of £5.00 per statement which equals £150.00:mad: .I informed them that the maximum they cold charge was £10.00 under the Data Protection Act,the bank agreed after being on hold;) .

At the Woolwich branch I had the same problem and the bank refused to take my money ( that must be very unusual for a bank):o ,but they did say they would contact me soon after they had some clarification from their head office.We will see what happens,any help would be appreciated.I will keep you all informed,Many thanks,Andy099:) .

:mad: I receved a letter today (13/07/06)from Woolwich collections in Manchester informing me of a "Termination Notice" of the bank account.After several tries I succeded in speaking to someone,after informing them that I was disputing the charges,and furthermore,under current banking rules they could not close the account they agreed.;)

After another call to the Woolwich in which I was informed that "due to the very hight numbers of people wanting reimbursed for bank charges,all such complaints were being submitted to Barclays Bank head office".I was then informed that as a "goodwill gester"they will send me the bank statemants I require free of charge.:) I should receve them within a week.:)

Current account & Open plan

Hi I am new to all this and I have just written my DPA letter to the woolwich. At the moment they are about to terminate my account with 900 owing (due to lost of job). I am on Income support so paying this money back will be a nightmare. Does anybody know about something I heard from a friend that states that the courts are going to make things harder for people claiming back their charges? right now that is the last thing i need to hear. I am only claiming for the current account, my open plan is fine so far and I receive my benefit in that account. Is there a possibility that they may decide to close that account? Lots of confusion but willing to give it a go

Andy did you decline their offer via writing or telephone. If you did this by phone i would send a letter out declining this and again demanding full and final settlement and give them 7 days.

If you have already done this the the LBA with schedule is the next step.

Fingers crossed for ya
