    • post re submitted  we are quite secure with that. it's ok to it here  you need to formerly WRITE to BMW AND to the finance co. (who is?) and REJECT the car under your short term right to reject. 100's of threads here on Big Motoring World, and they scammed you out of a useless warranty too, you dont need it ever, CRA covers you for FREE. dx  
    • Hey there, as the plane went tech you are entitled to the £520 x2 compensation under EC261. This is a clear cut case. Just claim straight with Virgin. However you are not entitled to a full refund, since you were eventually flown to the final destination; of course that second flight should have been totally free of charge; if not you must bill Virgin for it. Your mum+sis are also entitled to full reimbursment of taxis to and from the hotel, as well as meals+refreshments that they had for the entire duration of the unexpected stop, including both at the hotel and airport. (Just stay reasonable: no claiming for 49 pina coladas at the beach bar) Was their luggage returned to them during the unexpected stop? If not they may also claim for any toiletries and clothing that they had to purchase during the night stop. I understand the hotel has already been paid for, just don't forget the rest. Hopefully they have kept the receipts. Otherwise bank statements should do the trick. You need to claim for this in addition of the £1040 Other than the above there is no statutory compensation due for missing out on 1.5days of holiday. You could however talk to someone at customer service and make a polite request to extend your stay by another couple days and see if they will do it for you free of charge (providing they have space). Or if not, you could possibly get some token gesture of money back or voucher off your next holiday. It's worth trying. That you paid £700 for a name change is unfortunate but it's completely unrelated to the situation at hand. Above all I hope they don't worry too much about this mishap, and make the most of their holiday. Compensation is practically guaranteedwhen they are back. Just tell them to save all receipts they have and don't worry about the rest until they're back!

    • 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.

Hoi guys, new to the forum but it has been suggested by a friend that I look into claiming back my bank charges, and having browsed some of the forums I think I am ready to begin!

 

As I understand it, the first step is to send a Subject Access Request to HSBC to get a copy of my statements (or at least a list of charges on my account). Is this correct?

 

If so, is this the current address to use for sending it to HSBC:

HSBC Bank Plc

Service Quality Team

Arlington Business Centre

Millshaw Park Lane

Leeds

LS11 0PP

 

If not, does anyone know the correct address?

 

Thanks in advance for any help and advice I recieve.

Yes, send it Recorded Delivery with £10 P/O & dont use your signature.

 

I'm not up on charges yet but if they are at inflated level I would think so (+ interest at 8% I believe).

 

Someone will confirm for you shortly no doubt.

Hi Bungle welcome to the forum this should get you started:

S.A.R - (Subject Access Request)

http ://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/5161-data-protection-act.html

Explanation –what a SAR is

http://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documents/library/data_protection/practical_application/subject_access_-_guide_for_data_subjects.pdf

Here is the address for your S.A.R.

HSBC Bank plc

UK Data Protection Compliance

Griffin House

2-01

41 Silver Street Head

Sheffield S1 3GG

Sounds like these are the charges you're looking for if they're around £25 - £35 a time .... or even more ..... :eek:.

 

Possibly the Chancellor is confusing the statutory section 69 interest (8%)which accrues to your claim once you get to the court stage - but that's not relevant at the moment .

 

Come back if you need more info - someone will answer - and we're a friendly lot on here:)

Thanks for the help guys.

 

As i recall, postal orders these days have to be made payable to someone when you purchase them. Who do I need to make it payable to?

 

Also, whats the deal with not using your signature? Is that incase they try to use it against you or something?

Sorry JM

 

I did say to double check but I thought I had read on CAG that you could claim interest on these illegal charges (prior to the court interest) as someone mentioned the 8% and another added that you could claim 8% or the relevant interest rate that you were being charged by them.

 

(Or am I confusing credit cards with bank accounts?)

My understanding is - not till it gets to the court stage Chancellor........:) certainly with Bank Charges .

 

Perhaps someone else can comment on the Credit Card angle.....

You're welcome, Martyn - personally I don't think it's worth the bother -working out only the interest lost on the unlawful charge part .......... but some have done it :)

 

Just ask if you need help with anything else ..........:D

Friendly bump from all in the SRNI operating department.

 

Glad you've finally taken the plunge, bungle, you wont regret it!

 

If you've got credit card charges, start a separate thread to claim them back, too!

 

(By the way, compound interest is my speciality!)

 

I claimed (and got) County Court interest on my credit card charges, at the contractual rate- 20%.

 

Oh how they (Goldfish) must have cried- a request for £595 of charges which balooned into a CCJ for over £2000!

 

Theres a handy little compound interest calculator site as well, which I use, which works it all out for you.

 

(Chortle!)

Hi Martyn,

 

The next step is to identify the 'unlawful ' charges which you wish to reclaim - enter them on the Simple spreadsheet I gave you the link for in #14 - then send a Prelim Letter (see the templates library) asking for your money back.

Send a copy of the spreadsheet (minus the interest column) with the prelim and make it 'recorded delivery' - so someone has to sign for it .

 

At this stage you're giving them 14 days to reply - you'll get a fob-off letter , - ignore it and carry on to the Letter Before Action (LBA)stage .

 

If you need more advice just come back and ask .......:)

I do not entirely agree with johnnymitch's method for one simple reason-

 

Even at this stage bungle needs to ask for the return of ALL money unlawfully debited. ie: unlawful charges PLUS all interest unlawfully levied thereon.

 

Interest is going to be the larger of these, if you give them the chance to get away with repaying a few/ a lot of £25 charges and keep the ££££s of interest that bungle has unwittingly paid over the years there is a possibility that they will. Bungle would then be sunk, as any chance to recover interest will have gone.

 

Bungle-

 

Get a highlighting pen and mark off each charge.

 

Make a list of each charge and the date applied.

 

Then set out a table with Date - Amount-Interest -Total in vertical columns.

 

then-

 

Go here and use this compound interest calculator, it works. ;)

 

Compound interest calculator

 

 

Set it up for a "12 -compounded monthly" ( click da drop down list where it says " Number of Rests")

 

click 360 day year

 

enter your interest rate in the box

 

enter amount of your earliest charge in the "Principal" box

 

date of that charge goes in the "start date" box

 

today's date goes in the "end date" box

 

then click calculate.

 

Eg- If they slapped a a £25 charge at 20% per on you on 24 Oct 2002, this would now have cost you £83.65 of money that you sweated for, and is costing you more everyday.

 

This is the amount for this charge that you want back!

 

You see, if you just meekly say " please can I have my £25 back" you are giving them the option to keep £58.65!!! Dont give the bar stweards the chance. That would be quite random, (if not totally bizarre) :rolleyes:

 

 

Any way, do this calculation for each and every charge, keeping a written note of the TOTAL and INTEREST.

 

When you have done this for each charge, complet the table (actually called the Schedule of Charges)

 

The first entry would look like this-

 

£25 24/10/02 £58.65 £83.65

One more thing bungle-

 

If I were you I would alter all your posts which mention your real name- you should realise that not all posters are genuine. Banks and debt collection agencies scan these threads.

 

It is in your own interest to remain anonymous, you dont want to give away information useful to the enemy, do you?

 

FFS stop signing each post- no need. :-)

When you done the above calculation for each and every charge, tot up the totals.

 

This is the amount they have scammed you out of, and the amount you want back.

 

Lots, isnt it?

 

You can of course use the spreadsheet, but Ive found that compound interest calculator more profitable as it also works out the 12 monthly rests and 360 day year.

Hi Martyn,

 

If you have decided to go for the compound interest option I will leave you in nomill's capable hands ...... he knows more about it than I do :)

 

If you opt for the simple spreadsheet - the advice I gave earlier still stands - the section 69 interest of 8% doesn't kick in until the court stage and should not be included in the attachment to the Prelim or LBA letters.
