    • 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

 

Not sure if i have put this thread in the correct place, but here goes anyway :)

 

We had a loan off Citifinancial and paid it off IN FULL on 3rd August 2004. If i was told correctly, you can claim PPI back within 6 years?

 

We sent a letter off to claim PPI back and have received a letter back today stating the following:-

 

"Thank you for your recent correspondence. I am aware that you have raised a claim for the return of the PPI that was paid with regards to your loan. Following our investigation it is with regret we are unable to uphold your request. The reason for our decision is based on the lack of information available. A possible explanation is the length of time that has lapsed since the closure of the account. In accordance with the Data Protection Act, Citifinancil has a policy to purge historial documents from our archives after approximately 5 years. Due to lack of account information, we are unable to progress this matter further and this is our final response and the complaint is now closed."

 

Can they do this as we are still within the 6 years? or can i go to the Financial Ombudsman? If so, do you think they could help?

 

They're quick enough to take it off you, but not quick enough to give it back!

 

Any help is appreciated, thanks x

there is a limit of 6yrs to keep docs by them,

but that aside, your claim is certainly not barred by any time limit at all!

[limitations act 1980 sec 32c applies - the clock starts ticking from where you 'become aware' you have been fleeced!

 

now, your only issue here might well be documentaryr proof.

if you have the original agreement then great - game over for them!

 

if not and they cannot supply [i would SAR them! use the PPI version of the SAR] then it will be down to bank statements showing what you paid, and guestimation upon the PPI level charged.

 

however that can run in your favour as you could over guestimate! how can they prove otherwise!

 

what info have you got?

Hi thanks for your replies :)

 

The only info we have is the account number and the settlement letter which states "interest rebate" which i am presuming is PPI.

 

 

nope that will be the interest you get back because you settled the loan early

i doubt very much they would wabt to remind you they fleeced PPI out of you too!

sorry, my mistake, ive just re-read the settlement letter, and it states "insurance rebate"

 

well that still will not be the whole amount, poss just that which was to be paid if you had not been cancelled

but anyhow all you do is take that figure off the total of your claim now.

 

it also brings up another point though, you should also have gotten a rebate anyhow on the interest charged as the loan did not run its full term?

ok i'll take a punt here.

 

i bet they HAVE got the paperwork, but as you only 'asked' to be refunded, they did have to tell the truth

 

if you sar them its LEGAL and they must supply what they have on you.

 

how much was the loan for and over what term?

i appreciate your assistance though dx :) and will look at sending the SAR request, especially to ocean finance because that was a £8.5k loan

 

well on both counts it will depend on the sar returns and what they show up.

 

but for £20 for both it might be worth it.
