    • 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, I will try to keep this as informative and short as possible.

 

In November we switched our mortage to interest only because my partner was finished up in work. Luckily she has got new employment and we will shortly be swithing back to capital and interest.

 

I received a phone call this morning from my lender, Derbyshire Home Loans:mad:

 

They said I was in arrears and would I be willing to make payment today, I told them I am not in any arrears and only hve to pay this months payment which I did (£390.73)

 

They said that my arrears totalled £390.73, which goes back to January 2008...this is strange considering my new payments are £390.73

 

They have now told me after another phone call that my arrears are for January this year. I made a payment in January this year of £390.73 + £278 arrears I was told I needed to pay which is a total of £668.73

 

I was told today that the £668.73 I paid in January was arrears only and did not include my monthly payment, which is why I am still in arrears of Januarys payment of £390.73

 

Now when I made the payment in January on the phone, the advisor stated that if I pay the £278 plus m monthly ammount I am up to date. So in effect she was totally wrong or lying to me.

 

I made a payment in February of £390.73 and asked am I am up to date again and was told I am

 

So somewhere along the lines THEY have made errors informing me of my mortgage payments.

 

They have told me today that they are going to listen to he phone calls and come to a conclusion, they said they will reverse my credit score! and remove the £25 month charges for last 2/3 months

 

I told them that this is just not acceptable and to make me believe I am to date was a very serious error on their part

 

Can I take this further or do I just accept their reasons etc. I am totally willing to pay any arrear I have, but to be told after numerous calls that i owe nothing and thenhit with this is very frustrating

 

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated

 

Steve

Hi

 

I would write to them, by recorded delivery and ask for a statement of your account from Jan til now to check what they have done.

 

If it is their mistake and they are willing to correct it make sure you get it all in writing so that they can't try it again.

 

If it is a mistake and they are NOT willing to correct it you can go to the FOS once you have been through the companies complaints procedure.

Thanks for the quick reply, they have said they are going to send me a break down of the payments and arrears this week.

 

What has really annoyed me is the fact that they told me a couple of times that I had no arrears and then they hit me with this out of the blue.

 

I am willing to pay any arrears and not shy away from them. Their advisors need either retraining or dismissed. They probably laugh and joke about their mistakes on their fag breaks and not realise the stress they cause people

What Midge said re the statement Snico, but I'd be inclined at this point to ask for a COMPLETE statement of account since inception, since this sort of cr*p is where it always begins. Get as much info as you can before it costs you a tenner for a SAR buddy...

In knowledge lies wisdom

 

Mo - not even a bar-stool lawyer, but I'll help where I can...

I will await the break down of payments I should receive this week, then hopefully I can go from there.

 

If for some reason I do owe them, I will pay it....but I am going to chase them for a written apology for they way they have handled this.

 

What is this Subject Access Request you mentioned?

 

Is this like a credit referance check?

Hi

 

This is the link to the SAR letter. You must include a £10 cheque or postal order with it.

 

The company then has 40 days to provide you with ALL the data it holds on you. This will give you plenty of bedtime reading but can be very enlightening.

 

It is your legal right to make this request and they HAVE to comply.
