    • 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.

Hello to all in the PPI forum.

 

I took a loan out with HSBC back in October 2006. At that time I was not working as I was at home with the kids. On rummaging through my paperwork I discovered the original loan agreement which states that I have 'Personal Loan Protection Plan'.

 

Total amount Borrowed - £7000.00

 

Loan Protection Plan - £1480.00

 

Monthly repayment - £166.70 for 60 months.

 

 

 

My question is, I am now in part time employment (working 21 hours per week), and have been since February 2007. Can I claim back the protection plan as it states that it is only for people that work 16+ hours per week (of which I was not)? If I can claim back the protection plan, do I just claim for the part I was unemployed or can I go for the whole lot?

 

Thanking you in advance

 

Jo

As the PPI was added when you were not employed it is doubtful the PPI would cover you. Therefore it would be mis-sold IMO.

 

Is the loan still active with the PPI attached?

 

If it is the loan will have about 24 months or so still to run. If that is the case I would suggest you cancel the PPI get a refund and then claim 36 months worth of monthly PPI premium repayments plus the interest.

 

If you do cancel PPI cover ensure you take out alternative PPI cover more cheaply elsewhere.

 

Do a google on moneysavingexpert his website will have insurance links for loan cover but again make sure you have no reasons for the insurance to be excluded. Please have a look in the stickies at the top of the forum.

I Have done a draft of a letter to HSBC, just in case I can possibly claim. Can anyone check it for me please?

 

I believe I have been mis-sold a payment protection insurance policy and would like to request a full refund of my premiums, plus interest paid.

 

I took out a £7,000.00 loan at your xxxxxxxxxxxxx Branch on 10th August 2006 and also bought a payment protection policy which would cost me an extra £1480.00 over the life of the loan. The total amount of my premiums plus interest is £1,745.70.

 

I was unemployed and therefore would not be eligible for any payments from the PPI if I find myself unable to meet my debt repayments.

 

Your salesperson did not check my personal circumstances at the time of sale, which they are under obligation to do. If they had done, they would have realised that a PPI policy was useless to me. It was taken that as my Husband was working, although he was and still is self-employed, I would be covered should he become unemployed.

 

Insurers are under an obligation to ensure that the policy they are selling is appropriate to that customer and clearly, as my employment situation means I am unable to claim on the policy, you have not fulfilled this requirement.

 

I am requesting a full refund of all my insurance payments, plus interest, which total £1,745.70.

 

If I do not receive a favourable response from you I will pursue this claim through the Financial Ombudsman.

 

Yours sincerely

Do not be to hasty. Get an alternative cover first as HSBC will still want the payments if your circumstances change :eek:

further to my last post. You should be able to cancel as the policy was of no benefit to you at the point of sale.

 

You could also send a Subject Access Request to gather all the data available.

 

I will respond later to your letter. It may be worth leaving the PPI running with HSBC and just ask for the full amount to be refunded thereby cancelling the mis-sold PPI.

 

Post me a reminder if I forget :D

Just a point , jo - if the loan is still running - they'll probably want you to take out a re-structured Loan (without the PPI) - but watch that they don't re-structure it so that the repayments are higher - thus recouping some of their ill-gotten gains ........ :rolleyes:

 

They've done this with others else recently , but I can't remember who they were ........ aa might remember ........ :)

Hiya Dukey. They do want to restructure the loan but as I haven't been a very good customer with them over the past few years, they would not be willing to do that at this time. Catch 22 situation really.

I am just waiting for proof from royal mail that the postal order has been cashed. I know it was paid into the HSBC coffers on the 27 May but I want to send the proof with a damning letter before action. 22 may they got the SAR but the delaying tactics are becoming quite astonishing.:eek:

This is time-wasting at it's best jo :mad: - of course I don't have to tell you that - they're doing it all the time on the banking sites .....

 

You know what they have to provide , and if they've got your £10 (whether or not they've cashed it , ) then they've got 40 days from then to cough up .......... or be reported to the ICO for non-compliance .

 

The reason for the request has got nowt to do with them - they're only required to comply by producing everything they have on you with your name on it .....

 

(this advice is mainly for the benefit of newmembers jo - I'm not going to try teaching my granny to suck eggs :plol! ) :)

As for the reason why I am doing the request? Well I do not think it is of any concern to them. Their reason for asking is to see whether they will give the info for free or not. I have sent them a cheque for £10 therefore showing willing to pay.

LETTER BEFORE ACTION

 

Data Protection Act 1998 - Subject Access Request

 

 

Dear Mrs ,

 

Thank you for your letter dated 17 July 2009.

 

Firstly I do not accept your apologies for not confirming receipt of the Data Subject Access Request as this request was sent by Royal Mail First Class Recorded Delivery and I have the proof that the Subject Access Request together with the statutory fee in the form of a Postal Order, number xxxxxxxxxx, was delivered to the Brampton branch of the HSBC on 22 May 2009. The postal order was encashed on the 27 May 2009. I enclose proof of encashment as provided in a letter from the Post Office (copy enclosed).

 

I attended the branch as requested in HSBC letter reference: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx received from HSBC Bank plc, Harry Weston Road, Binley, Coventry, CV3 2TQ (copy enclosed) to provide proof of my identity and an original letter authorising me to act as a third party signatory to my xxxxxx account. (copy enclosed) I actually saw my SAR together with the statutory fee in the form of a Postal Order to the value of £10.00 on the desk of the local branch. I produced a valid driving licence and passport and a photocopy was made in the Brampton branch of HSBC. I must now question the actual right HSBC had to make photocopies of these documents. Viewing the documents should have been sufficient evidence to prove my identity. I mention this in all seriousness in the light of the recent fine imposed on HSBC subsidiaries by the Financial Services Authority for the loss of sensitive customer data.

 

The branch also insisted on keeping the original copy of the letter xxxxxxxx had signed even though a photocopy had already been provided with the Subject Access Request and the original authorisation had been sent by xxxxxxxx on 30 April 2009 which was acknowledged by HSBC Bank on the 18 May (copy enclosed).

 

In your letter of 17 July 2009 you state that under the section 7(3) of the Data Protection Act 1998 you require the signature of the account holder on the request.

 

I quote that section:

 

“Where a data controller-

 

(a) reasonably requires further information in order to satisfy himself as to the identity of the person making the request under this section and to locate the information that person seeks, and

 

(b) has informed him of that requirement,

 

The data controller is not obliged to comply with the request unless he is supplied with that information.”

 

The act does not specifically state that the account holders signature must appear on the request for data as you mention in your letter.

 

In light of all the requirements on identification requested by HSBC to date I strongly believe that your request for further information is not reasonable within the meaning of the act especially as this information has already been provided to the Brampton Branch with the original letter and a further original has been produced upon my attendance at the branch to verify my identity.

 

The failure by your branch at Brampton notify you of the Subject Access Request and to register the information on proof of identity on HSBC records is a failure by the HSBC and I will shortly be visiting the bank to discuss this matter and to provide them with a copy of this letter.

 

The fact of the matter is, that xxxxxxx was authorising me to act on his behalf as a third party signatory to his account. That authorisation allowed me to submit the Subject Access Request. I do not consider that you should then require xxxxxxxx signature on the Subject Access Request.

 

You suggest in you letter that you are unable to provide details of any insurance relating to loan accounts as this data is owned by a separate legal entity to HSBC Bank plc. You further state that I will need to write to the correct data controller at the address below enclosing the £10.00 administration fee ( Presumably the Statutory fee which is due under a request for data in line with the Data Protection Act 1998 a legal statute within Law).

 

I therefore reiterate my earlier comment, that the statutory fee of £10.00 was submitted to the Brampton branch of the HSBC with the original Subject Access Request dated 20 May 2009.

 

I therefore believe the obligation to pay the statutory fee for the Subject Access Request under the regulations as prescribed within the Data Protection Act 1998 has been satisfied.

 

I am extremely disappointed that despite having issued my original Subject Access Request on the 20 May 2009 you still seem to be using delaying tactics in providing the information I am entitled to by Law, within the terms of the Data Protection Act 1998. Under Section 7 sub section (1) ( c ) ( i ) and (ii) you are required to communicate to me in an intelligible form within 40 days, the information as requested within the requirements of the Act section 7 (2) (a) and (b), which as the data subject I have met.

 

I would point out that the Act allows you 40 days in which to provide the information I have requested. You have failed to meet this timescale by 17 days to the date of your letter, dated 17 July 2009. I have provided all the required information as requested by your establishment. The local branch in Brampton have been provided with a driving licence, passport and an original copy of the authorisation letter allowing me to act as a third party on the account this seems largely to have been ignored up until your letter dated 17 July 2009 received by me 18 July 2009.

 

As I have followed all the relevant procedures as required under the Data Protection Act 1998 and have also followed the requests by your organisation. I now believe you have failed to comply with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998. I therefore decline your request for further payment of £10.00 as this statutory fee has already been submitted.

 

I strongly suggest you contact the Brampton branch to ascertain the proof of my identity.

 

I would as you to comment on your request that a £10.00 administration fee to be sent to the data controller and yet the address given in your letter is the Payment Protection Insurance office and not the Data Controller Protection Compliance address in Sheffield.

 

As HSBC Bank plc has received payment, I now insist on the immediate provision of all data requested on xxxxxxxxxxx in the original Subject Access Request.

 

You have obviously failed to meet the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998 as is mentioned above and I must now inform you that it is my intention to forward all correspondence so far with a letter to the Information Commissioners Office to raise a very serious formal complaint on your failure to follow the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998 and also in the tactics you employ in delaying consumers in asserting their right to obtain information under the Act which is a legal statute within the Law of the United Kingdom.

 

Yours sincerely

Please do not PM me for advice as it may be sometime before I can respond.

 

Keep at them. Do not give way and do not accept all they tell you, they will delay and stall for as long as they can to prevent repaying you your mis-sold PPI.

I Just like to get the attention of the banks focused so they know I am completely serious about the PPI issue and delaying tactics which are now being employed more and more regularly.

 

They are basically saying the law of the land does not apply to them and they can use their own timescales which is totally unacceptable IMO.

 

The ICO, FSA, OFT and even the FOS need stronger powers to be able to take stronger action.
