    • 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.

Hey all!! Havent been here for a while, life has been busy!!!

 

We've worked really hard to pay off all our debts in the last few years but we are left with this HUGE 7k overdraft that belongs to my husband (Had to get that bit in!!!) :p

 

Every month we get interest charges which is usually £100. Money is so tight we live in our overdraft, we max it out every month basically. The charges are getting ridiculous. We cant help but go over the limit, not good I know... but these charges really dont help. Last month and this month have been difficult leading up to xmas and the letters just come through with the charges to be applied in Dec.. they are £225. At the mo we are £100 over our limit and have been for a few days, hubby doesnt get paid for another week and they charge £20 a day up to a max of 10 days... so thats £200 plus the interest to be taken in Jan :(

 

I just dont know what to do. Are they allowed to charge such ridiculous amounts?? This has been going on for years now and life would be 100 x better if we could reclaim some of these and pay off the overdraft. We'd be debt free for the first time in 10 years.

 

So am I allowed to reclaim?? What are the chances and where the hec do I start??

 

I would be grateful beyond belief if someone would just guide me in the right direction.

 

To know that I have a chance would be a great start :|

Start off by getting hold of all of your account data. Use our new template and put in an SAR.

 

You can claim all of your charges back to 1995 plus any interest they have levied on those charges plus overdraft interest which has been taken from you for an proportion of your overdraft - authorised or unauthorised which is comprised of charges.

this will probably add up to a lot of money.

 

Get the SAR in now.

Write to your bank and put them on notice that you are claiming back all of your charges and that your account is in dispute.

When the data arrives, calculate everything, sned them a 7 day LBA and then sue.

If you don't intend to carry out your threat then don't bother.

Yes I definitely intend to take it all te way if anyone here thinks I stand a chance??

 

I have all the statements so will be making a start on the spreadsheet later on.

 

Am I right in thinking there are holds on all claims re. bank charges?! Or is that old news?!

 

Thanks for the reply.

Change banks immediately and have your wages paid into the new bank - Don't ask for an overdraft!

- it'll give you a new perspective, it wont stop the current bank charging you, but at least you wont have to pay out the charges for the time being!

Thank you. We have a joint account that our child benefit and tax creditsare paid into (With no o/d) so we will move everything over to there asap. Should I leave some money in there to pay the o/d interest each month though?? Because if not we will go ovr our o/d limit and get some mega charges!!!!!

 

Ive been using the advanced spreadsheet for the overdraft interest but its very confusing... is there an easy way to understand how this works?? I put the figures in but nothing comes up, does that mean Im not entitled to claim anything??

 

Hope this makes sense!!

 

Thanks so much for your help so far xxx

Still confused!! Doh!! If we were constantly overdrawn would that mean there would be nothing to claim back?? If so that makes more sense... we never had an 'in credit' balance, we've lived in our overdraft for years :( Does that make a difference??

 

Sorry to be a pain....
