    • 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.

Hope someone can help with this. For the last 3 months I have had a charge of $9.95 (£6.50 +£1.50 charge) taken from my account and I haven't a clue what it is for or who they are??? (Name in title bar)

 

My bank are not being very helpful and I have done some checks on the internet and it would seem that I am not the only one? How can I stop this and claim back my money, it would seem that changing your account card doesn't seem to work.

Give the bank the details and amount and tell them that under no circumstances should this be allowed to be taken from your account as you don't know who they are and that you will report this to police as it is theft.

Put it in writing take it to your local branch and get a signed receipt for the letter and tell them that any further amounts taken from your account by them without your authority you will want refunding.

You should report this to your bank as fraud.

 

They will investigate and in due course, refund the amounts that have been taken.

 

Something similar happened to me a few years ago and I went into the branch and reported it as fraudulent transactions. It was Barclays and they behaved as though nothing like this had ever happened before, total dickwoods, but in the end I got my money back.

Have you purchased any tickets or the like about 6 weeks prior to the first charge being taken ?

 

Check your e-mails from that period up to the first withdrawal date.

 

As an aside, Ticketmaster have colluded with shopperdiscount.co.uk by slipping in some small print on their website which allows shopperdiscount to remove £10.00 a month from the account used on Ticketmasters site.

 

As others have advised, contact your card company and ask for an immediate refund as you have not authorised such transactions.

If they refuse, ask them to provide the proof you have made such authorisation.
