    • 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.

I wonder if anyone can help me, having read all the recent headlines re ppi i had a look at a loan we took out some 30 months ago with first plus. To be honest I am unsure why I took out PPI as have never done so before with anyother loan and wonder if it was pressure form the sales paerson but I cnat recall. I do also know that my husband had surgery for a back complaint some 6 years ago and see that this may make the policy for any furture claims invalid, agin not sure if this was discussed. Do I make the claim re this point or were we misold becasue it is a single premuim policy and I can now see that we will be paying for this after 5 years but only covered for 5 years( it is a 10 year loan)

I dont want to write to the company and sound as if I dont know what I am talking about, which clearly I dont.

I have a copy of the loan agreement, but is there any way I can get hold of the telephone conversation.

Any help appreciated

You need to send off to Firstplus for a Suject Access Request this should give you everything relating to your account including telephone conversation recordings. Incidently did you get the loan direct from them or through a broker. If you read some of the other threads on here it will give you the information you need and there is a template for the SAR's.

Good luck I to am pursuing Firstplus.

If the loan was done through a broker this is who you complain to about mis sellinng. Not sure First Plus will hold the phone conversation or if the broker has it.

 

Pre existing medical issues should have been discussed and policys not covering full loan term are frowned on, so you may have a case.

Any opinion I give is my own and given without

any liability.

You also need to consider who is covered for what. As far as I am aware Firstplus cover the first named person for life, sickness, unemployment etc. whereas the second named person is covered for life only.

It is very misleading and in my case incorrectly applied by them. They gave me the full cover although I get full pay from my employer when off sick and get death in service.

My husband gets none of this from his employer but they only covered him for life. Whatever suits them best really!
