    • 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 have only sent my LBA letter off today.

 

I have just tried to lift money from the post office and the girl told me my ATM card had been declined.

Came back into work & tried to look at account on line - also off.

Last night I tried to put money into my account at 4.55 but after telling them that I was going to lift money at their ATM and would be 2 ticks they locked the door and watched me freak outside in the rain. This resulted in my mortgage payment bouncing.

Lender will lift DD again in 7 days but my account is in credit now & I cant take any money out.

I am on the phone to Nationwide as I type but apparantly there is nothing wrong with either my card or my online account.(even tho online tells me to contact customer services)

 

I do have a parachute account but didnt think I would need it just yet.

Is this normal from Nationwide or am I just being mega paranoid?

Well the did it with me at that stage..... sorry :-|

 

They cut off my internet banking and stopped my statements, not allowing me any access to my account.

 

Please let us know what customer services say.

They don't technically close it - they just put a block on it. And I was never given any notice.

I can understand if they block an account which is over the agreed overdraft limit and the account is being abused but if you are in credit I would have thought that they were not allowed to do this.

 

They did close my account but only after gaining refund via court action not before.

Thanks for replys

 

I spoke to CS @ Nationwide yesterday and was told that there was no block or stop put on my account. I got quite cross as my online account stated call Customer Services and CS were telling me that there was nothing wrong with it.

I refused to get off the phone untill I spoke to a higher authority.

Eventually a guy came to the phone and I asked him stright out if they were trying to inconvience me because I was claiming charges back.

I told him that I had read several accounts of the actions of Nationwide against people who were claimimg. He told me that all accounts would be closed when Court action was taken but that they werent allowed to to anything to accounts before closure letters were sent out. I told him that I didnt believe him and he went on to say that he had read "the" website (no name of site mentioned by him) and he was aware that Nationwide had a reputation for doing this!

I told him to correct whatever they had done immediatly or I would take this matter all the way to court and claim for damages as well as charges.

Again he stated that they had put no stop on account.

He put me on hold to take advice from a manager and when he came back asked me to sign back onto my account.

It is now working and so is my ATM however I will change all DD's this weekend coz it will probably go off again LBA will be recieved again.

I have printed off the status off my account yesterday and kept the declined statement from post office (just in case)
