    • Hi @Kyosanto thank you for the response, that’s extremely helpful! Thank you! 
    • Given the evidence you have provided it should hopefully be a formality, the WS is ready to go and their case is torpedoed below the waterline.
    • Hey @Rubixcube sorry that I am a bit late to the party but to look into your issues, could you explain in a bit more detail what happened? I did not know that either before you mentioned it, but it seems indeed that Booking.com holidays are just a mirror site for lastminute.com and therefore the exact same thing... Good to know because Last minute is an awful OTA. It actually doesn't seem to be a big secret. If you click the link below (which is the main link from booking.com home page, and has lastminute written in it!) you will see the slogan "Booking.com Powered by Last minute" on 3 separate areas at least within the same page! Just a moment... BOOKING-DP.LASTMINUTE.COM Anyway, do let us know what exactly happened and we can try and see who you should be claiming from.
    • post re submitted  we are quite secure with that. it's ok to it here  you need to formerly WRITE to BMW AND to the finance co. (who is?) and REJECT the car under your short term right to reject. 100's of threads here on Big Motoring World, and they scammed you out of a useless warranty too, you dont need it ever, CRA covers you for FREE. dx  
    • Hey there, as the plane went tech you are entitled to the £520 x2 compensation under EC261. This is a clear cut case. Just claim straight with Virgin. However you are not entitled to a full refund, since you were eventually flown to the final destination; of course that second flight should have been totally free of charge; if not you must bill Virgin for it. Your mum+sis are also entitled to full reimbursment of taxis to and from the hotel, as well as meals+refreshments that they had for the entire duration of the unexpected stop, including both at the hotel and airport. (Just stay reasonable: no claiming for 49 pina coladas at the beach bar) Was their luggage returned to them during the unexpected stop? If not they may also claim for any toiletries and clothing that they had to purchase during the night stop. I understand the hotel has already been paid for, just don't forget the rest. Hopefully they have kept the receipts. Otherwise bank statements should do the trick. You need to claim for this in addition of the £1040 Other than the above there is no statutory compensation due for missing out on 1.5days of holiday. You could however talk to someone at customer service and make a polite request to extend your stay by another couple days and see if they will do it for you free of charge (providing they have space). Or if not, you could possibly get some token gesture of money back or voucher off your next holiday. It's worth trying. That you paid £700 for a name change is unfortunate but it's completely unrelated to the situation at hand. Above all I hope they don't worry too much about this mishap, and make the most of their holiday. Compensation is practically guaranteedwhen they are back. Just tell them to save all receipts they have and don't worry about the rest until they're back!

    • 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.

I shouldn't be worried that they would come and repossess yet should I? they haven't mentioned it yet? Car is just in residential parking area in a bay marked for my car. I have private plate on car, guess I should get that removed ASAP!? If they did repossess with my plate on it, could I claim theft? What if they took it with any of my possessions within it? Guess I may need to start a new thread? What about when I give them car back and the number plate will be different from their paperwork!!

Wannabedebtfreesoon: the car is parked on the road, we do not have a garage or drive

That is a shame. As you have paid less than a third they can repossess it off the road without a court order. Unfortunately Welcome are on a repossession spree at the moment and will stoop to any lengths to take peoples' cars irrespective of the legalities.

The good news is that if they do terminate and repossess you will only be liable for the arrears on your defective default notice if they take you to court for the remainder of the balance.

Personally, if I were you I would make preparations for when they take your car, alternatively you may want to come to a payment arrangement with them if you want to keep your car.

 

They have a nasty habit of not playing by the rules,

All the best of luck to you, I know how terrible it feels.

Well I have checked and rechecked, welcome has not sent a credit agreement for the re write of the original agreement. The new agreement was signed on 2008 and I only have the original agreement which was signed in 2006.

I'm pretty sure they should have sent a copy of the agreement for 2008, so what should I do now?

Laverda,

 

Since your (invalid) DN have you made any further payments or planning to do so? or have you been in contact to discuss paying? Are you trying to keep the car? I'm not wanting to keep mine (have paid over half), I'm trying to prove that their DN and then there TN are invalid therefore my VT to them should be valid and should be acted upon and am aware that I would have to pay arrears. They wouldn't/couldn't repo car unless they issued TN to you.

 

I'm really interested to about how to claim back many many letter and telephone charges added to my account, how do we go about doing it? Can we? Especially the telephone ones as welcome always asked me if i'd like them to phone me a day or two before paymwent was due to remind me to pay. these were supposedly 'courtesy calls' but i've been charged each time!

Grantyblade: The charges are unlawful and can be claimed. There is no way it costs them £5 for a phonecall etc and so these charges are disproportionate. I have been researching this and found a few template letters. I have adapted one I found and will copy it into my next post.

Apparently we can also charge interest on the charges at a rate of 8% from the date the charge was applied to the account.

Im unsure how non compliance would work due to account in dispute not really counting for anything anymore. Id be inclined to just write them a letter requesting any docs you feel are missing but state including but not limited to so they can provide everything they havent given already.

laverda,

 

fantastic letter, thank you. Anyone had any success with welcome and charges? I've just realised on my statements that they've charged me for apying by cheque certain months. £1.67 charge! I was never told it would cost me to pay by cheque. Do I add interest to these charges too? At 8%?

Ive had all charges refunded on both accounts just by adding it into my normal moaning letters lol no 8% added though but thats because it wasnt an official request so to speak it was you have added charges what are you going to do about it

Brilliant - in terms of the charges should I wait and hope the account is properly terminated so therefore the refund would come off my arrears? Or if I do it know will they just take them off the full balance which I won't be paying anyway!!!!!!
