    • 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 am asking this on behalf of a friend who is a cag member,hope someone can advise.

 

Friend claimed ppi through one of those companies and they have been successful! After they take their money friend should have around 2,000.00 BUT halifax are ignoring requests to refund the money,even though they have sent a letter regarding the ppi refund to friend.

But what she is most concerned about is that although the halifax main account is only in arrears by 30 pounds and is not being used[loan is repaid]she has a halifax credit card[account is in dispute and not being paid with a balance of more than 2,000.00.]

Can halifax use the refund money to clear balance on the credit card account?

Friend could really use the 2,000.00 to pay other bills etc and is worried that halifax could keep the money.

 

any advice very gratefully received.

Yes I have heard about the legal right of setoff but Im not sure it applies in this case because as far as I am aware when you have a refund the loan provider has to put you back in the position you would have been in had you not had the ppi.

So if the ppi has already been paid in full then surely the customer should keep the money ,not the bank ?

I have read somewhere thet the only time the loan provider can keep the refund is if someone is in arrears with there account.

 

Please could someone confirm if I am correct.......

thank you.....

This is why they are offsetting the amount.

 

But the question is can they do this while account is disputed ?

 

Im sure they cant but not 100% sure hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be along.

in terms of the loan/cc yes, but they are by refunding.

 

i likewise think i've seen alanalana intimate that it must go back to the person by cheque if the loan/cc is already dead,

but i also remember seeing a thread whereby the excess after clearing another a/c with the same lender was returned.

 

sadly i think its the latter.

Final update ....

 

friend managed to withdraw total refund from halifax!

 

halifax either didnt have time to offset the refund or they had no intention of offsetting,either way it was a good result....

 

so I guess the moral of this post is anyone worried about their refund being offset against another account should get the money out as soon as it is paid in,just in case.

 

thanks for help and advice
