    • 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.

So without getting into much detail I lost my job and (I know I shouldn't have) basically stopped paying a number of debts for a few months. When I found a new job I contacted all my creditors and made arrangements to begin paying again.

 

My Welcome debt had been passed to their collections department which they told me was the last port of call before the debt was handed off to debt collectors. They offered to take payments at a set rate and cancel the debt once it had been reduced to a certain amount (knowing who reads these forums I am avoiding any details), but insisted on an immediate payment which the visited my house to collect. I have been paying at a higher amount every month since than they asked for in the hopes of getting this debt cleared asap.

 

I asked repeatedly for confirmation in writing of this agreement to no avail and (following the advice of Payplan) sent recorded delivery letters to all my creditors outlining the agreements we had made.

 

Fast forward a year and Welcome have called to tell me that the department that was handling my account has been closed down and that they have no records of any discussions with me for the past year (I have sent an SLA and received back records from Welcome which include nothing over the past 12 months bar my payments). I followed up on the recorded delivery and found that Welcome were apparently out when the post office tried to deliver and though a card was left informing them of the letter they have not picked up the letter from the post office since.

 

So now they are insisting that I have nearly 2 years more payments to make rather than the 6 months I expected and basically I'm wondering if there is anything I can do?

scan up the agreement

lets look at things for you.

 

also do some reading in this forum.

 

i think it might well open your eyes a wee bit.

 

i bet you have been fleeced for letters late payments PPI etc etc

all of which can be reclaimed.

 

it might well be an idea to SAR them.

how many loans do you think you have had with them?

I meant to say I've already completed a Subject Access Request and got the information back from them, oh and I just have the one loan.

 

Welcome Agreement

 

Note that I was told I could not have to loan without PPI which is why the 'None' is crossed out.

 

Looking through the loan statement every 'Telephone Call Fee' or 'Letter Sent Fee' is followed by a matching charge for 'Capitalisation' meaning I have in fact been charged twice on every call or letter. This debit also appears frequently for seemingly random amounts. Additionally since agreeing not to make any extra charges they have added 'Capitalisation' just after my second payment effectively wiping out that payment.

 

Also I note the addition of a 'Fee Assessment' charge (its only pennies but can't figure out what that is about nor have they discussed it with me) on a frequent basis.

 

The end result of working through the statement means for £2,000 of credit (lifted to £2,800 when I received the money due to a fee and PPI) I have paid around £3,800 so far and still have about £2,100 left on the account due to fees, charges and interest.

every unlawfully charge letter call etc & its resultant capitalisation [stealth interest] fees

you can claim 8% stat int from the day of the charge to the day of your claim .

 

on the PPI, workout how much of your PCM is PPI, then for each PCM made do the same as above. date charged to date claimed 8% stat.

I've just run through the numbers and for some reason they have added the amount to the debt on the capitalisation line not the fee line, the end result being I have only been charged once in each instance.

 

Given that some fees were listed in the original agreement are those actually 'unlawful'?

 

If you can advise, can I reclaim:

 

  1. The cost of the PPI
  2. The resulting interest from the PPI
  3. The Call and Letter Fees
  4. The resulting interest from these Fees

In case being able to see these helps:

Okay so I'm trying to figure out how much the PPI PCM is - I assume it's the same as the PPI % for the overall debt (so if the PPI was £100 and the debt £1000 the PPI would be 10% of the PCM amount?) In addition do I use the same calculation to reduce the interest amounts listed on my statement?

 

I'm preparing a letter to the effect that I was mis-sold the PPI and I'd like to include the charges in that, so while it's great to hear that the call and letter charges are unlawful could you let me know on what basis I will be claiming them back as they are included in the original agreement. I assume there has been some case or legislation change so it would be great to quote it.

 

On both of these are there any exclusion based on when the debt was taking out (04/07) or if I have missed payments?

 

If it turns out that the reclaim amount is more than the current balance (which looks possible) do I need to continue making payments? If not any advice on how to explain that I wont be making further payments would be appreciated.
