    • 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.

ok, 1st letter formulated and about to be posted! looking forward to the next couple of months. just need to sit back now and read all the posts from others, and try and learn not to panic when confronted with a non-conforming response, but to seek help from this excellent forum. bartymuv.

i have recieved what i presume is the 'standard' response from my 1st letter dated 4th august. (they recieved 7th august).

 

they are going to use my £10 to supply details of transactions held on microfiche that i need.

 

the letter goes on to explain what they consider 'manual intervention' means!

 

so, i guess i sit back now and wait again. if theres something else i should do, like respond to this letter, please could someone advise me.

thankyou, bartymuv.

No this is good news......especially since there is no mention of their infamous cant supply microfiche comments.

 

How far back are you claiming ?

 

Your response you should be to wait for this to come.

In the meantime have a look at your next move after the info lands the prelim letter (see link below bottom of post )

 

 

Also a good idea to have a look in the Abbey threads and see where they are up to.

In a couple of weeks you will be there too .......after current claims have all been done and dusted !

thanks martin, their letter told me i can only go back 6 years! 'quote' we can however supply details of the transactions held on the microfiche on payment of an admin fee of £10 for multiple monthly statements per account that have been archived. i was with a bank swallowed up by abbey called 'national & provincial' which is some years ago! guess 6 years will have to suffice.

back to the archives, thanks again, bartymuv.

ok, today i recieved 14 individual letters containing monthly statements!

they run from may 2005, through to july 2006.

 

can i assume that the microfiche statements will be posted the same way? (my postman wont be very happy!)

i read that they can arrive in a plain brown envelope!

(postage must be costing them a few bob!) i believe i now wait till the 30th day before sending them a reminder (assuming i havent received the remaining statements).

 

cheers,

 

bartymuv.

When you received the first letter, saying about the fiche, did you send the follow up dpa letter?

 

Basically the first letter is refusing your dpa request and you need to send the fiche letter i think its in a sticky on the abbey forum.

 

HTH

 

Glenn

 

PS they sent me some statements on one of my accounts 14 months worth and several years worth for the other account. no obvious reason why one is different to the other.

 

still wating on the other account.

hi glen, no, i didnt!

 

thats a good start isnt it! should i wait till 30 days have passed and then send them a reminder including the data protection act? im not too concerned about time limits, and i daresay they'll use this as an excuse to delay the rest of my statements.

 

oh, btw, i received one more statement this morning, making

15 letters (statements) in all.

 

thanks for your help,

 

cheers,

 

barty.

I think you have tweo choices, sit and wiat for the statements, they may send them anyway without the SAR.

 

On the othe rhand if they dont you will not really have the evidence to support the claim should it go to court. Or at least they will argue they sent you what they had to and you didnt insist they send anything else.

 

Its your call. im not sure if people have been getting statements requested informally in this way or not.

its been a long time since i last posted!

 

to be honest, i really didnt think it was worth pushing the 'abbysmal' for the small amount that i had calculated they owed me. but, i had let all my colleagues at work know about this site, and some of them have taken on their banks, often involving considerably more than myself.

 

so, they keep asking me how im progressing?

 

today i decided to continue with my claim, and have produced the 'request for payment' letter and included copies of the relevant bank charges dates etc.

 

tommorrow i shall send this by recorded delivery.

 

i'll give them their 14 days to respond, then send them my final demand before the LBA.

 

i only have 1 question, and that is the address that i should send it to. i have used the head office address in regents place NW1 3AN. is this ok?

 

heres hoping for a prosperous new year for everyone involved with this site.

Yeah, London address is fine - that's where it all eventually goes anyway I think in the legal team. I used Milton Keynes initially but it's probably best to serve Head office. Give them 14 days - who know you may get a GOGW before the court stage.

 

Good luck!

thanks for that,

 

something else thats been putting me off from chasing the abbey is the fact that i have an overdraft facility with them.

this is 3 times as much as they owe me, although i haven't reached my limit, (pretty close to it)! has anyone known the banks to call in the debt once youv'e started the ball rolling so to speak?

 

it wont put me off from chasing them, just need to be prepared if it is a possibility.

i have a parachute account so thats not a problem.

 

thanks,

 

barty.

thanks karnevil,

i'll await their response when they receive my 'request for payment' letter posted today (recorded delivery).

must say the labels that i purchased looked quite impressive attached to the letter!

 

wonder if it will influence their decision? lol.

have received a letter (dated 19th jan.) on wednesday (24th jan) offering me £100 as a goodwill gesture.

 

i have 8 weeks in which to respond! they also enclosed the customary complaints leaflet and tarrif charges.

the author was a guy named gordon mccoy, senior customer resolution manager.

 

the amount is about a third of what im claiming, so why they couldnt go the whole hog i cant understand!

 

anyway, im a bit confused now as to which template i should use to respond. also should i continue to use 'recorded delivery'?

 

cheers,

 

barty.

abbey,

 

have actually reimbursed £110!

 

so, do i quote thier letter with the £100, or do i state the actual reimbursment?

 

i dont think it will really make much difference, but just to be sure.

 

barty.
