    • 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 There,

 

Alliance & Leicester agreed to pay out for ppi charges to a loan my other half took out with them way back when and now all paid off. We sent off the form to say that we agreed with the amount hey were going to pay out...this was back in April that we sent the form back. The letter didn't actually state a time of when they sould payout, and up to now still no cheque has been recieved from them. We could wait years really for this payment.

 

Is there some ort of letter we could send them?

Issue a small claim for the amount they agreed to pay you.

 

As you have a legally binding agreement, whereby A&L agreed to pay you that amount, you would be asking the court to give judgement to that effect.

 

Send them a 7 day Letter Before Action (LBA) warning them that unless payment is recieved in full within 7 days, you will have no option but to issue legal proceedings to enforce the agreement, interest accrued, cost of all correspondence and reimbursement of your court fee.

 

 

 

 

Want a hand wording the letter?

 

 

Just as a side note, did they agree to repay the interest they charged on the premium? ;-)

 

Just repaying the premium is only part of what they have scammed you- as the PPI was part a loan, you have paid interest on that PPI to which you are also entitled to have returned...

Letter Before Action

 

 

Sir,

 

I refer to your recent offer to repay the amount of mis-sold PPI premiums, which you agreed to repay me.

 

I note that to date this remains unpaid and the debt is accruing further interest.

 

This is to inform you, that if this amount remains unpaid 7 days from the date of this letter (plus further interest accrued) I will have no alternative but to start legal proceedings to enforce our agreement.

 

Should this become necessary I will naturally ask that interest pursuant to s.69 County Courts Act 1984, all other costs, including my court issue fee be added to the debt with further interest accuring at a daily rate until settlement.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

 

 

hotdog.

Just out of *interest* - the the amount they agreed to pay include interest or was it simply the amount of PPI premiums?

 

The PPI premium/s will have increased the amount you paid, so by rights, you should also be repayed this as well.

I too am waiting for PPi payment to be returned which has been ongoing since Jan this year last conversation I had was on the 28 April...anyway spoke to them yesterday and an offer letter was sent out on the 6th May which I never got...so the gut apoloigised and is sending another out...

Anyway I spoke to them on 08001412176 if that's any help

 

Can I ask in the offer letter did it seem a reasonable amount,was there a timescale to accept the offer and the option to refuse it ?

Hi JJ,

 

Yes!! The offer was reasonable, and the timescale to accept was 28days from receipt of letter, of whcih i adhered to.....but still waiting for the pricks......but they did'nt give a timescale on when they would pay...so in fact enjoying the benefits of the already paid upfront premium/interest.

 

**Noomill** - should another sentence go in, with regards to updating the payable amount/increase?

Hi Hotdog...have you heard anymore from A&L at all ? I got my letter today and the offer is a decent one so of course need to send it back to them...but it is still dated the 6th May on the letter sent out.

Did they give you any timescale of payout ?

Hi JJ,

 

LBA was sent out yesterday.

 

On the original letter received, they gave 28days to return back the accceptance form if you agreed with it. Up till now still not heard anything from them, even though the acceptance form was sent back in April.

Well as stated mine was dated 6th May so therefore my 28 days is up,yet they confirmed over phone it would not count due to lost letter.

Still not happy with this verbal agreement so have photocopied all docs including a letter from me to them stating the discrpenacy in the date and sending recorded delivery not using their SAE in case it gets lost in the post.

Oh thanks to your posting have included in my letter that conformation required for when cheque is to be sent...
