    • 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.

Hello all,

 

Very new to the forum but need some advice. I underwent surgery some time ago and have been on Incapacity benefits since. Another op took place about 6 weeks ago and recovery is about 6-12 months. I could not keep up the payments on my CC`s and wrote to them all stating this. I followed the CCCS route and filled in their online debit/credit which produced a complete overview of my (dire) finances. I posted this by recorded delivery with a token payment to each of the CC companies on the 29th of April. I have now received one reply from the AA that states an AA rep will be calling at my home on the 10th of May. Just that.This I feel is an infringement and gives me a BAD FEELING.

 

Where do I stand in refusing visit/entry to property etc?

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

David

And how would I go about reclaiming CC charges? What kind of charges are you referring to? I do have PP for the credit card but as usual it does not cover the current operation recovery as it was a "pre -existing" condition.

 

Kind regards,

David

then the PPI is useless to you cancel & reclaim it!

you can also charge them compounded monthly int from the date the PPI was taken each month to the date of your reclaim

 

the same can be done for every unlawful charge they have levied you. [overlimit/late etc etc]

 

use the serch in our blue bar above and do some reading up so you know the processes.

Hi -just a quick question regarding that AA visit -is there any law or restritio on this that I can quote to the AA as I will be phoning them to tell them to *^@ off - it would make it sound better if there is a distinct protection law that I can lay at their feet as I get the impression we are entering the intimidation phase now. (Scottish based or does that not matter?)

 

Many thanks,

There is a 'Doorstep' letter........................

 

Dear Sir or Madam,

 

Account Ref xxxx

 

Please be advised that I will only communicate with you in writing. I have noted your repeated attempts to contact me by telephone over the past few weeks/months and these have been duly logged by time and date.

 

Furthermore, should it be your intention to arrange a “doorstep call”, please be advised that under OFT rules, you can only visit me at my home if you make an appointment and I have no wish to make such an appointment with you.

 

 

There is only an implied license under Scots Common Law for people to be able to visit me on my property without express permission; the postman and people asking for directions etc. Therefore take note that I revoke license under Common Law for you, or your representatives, to visit me at my property and if you attempt to send such a collector to my home, you will also be reported for harassment and I shall seek damages for a delict of trespass. You would also be liable for conspiring in a delict of trespass by acting in defiance of my instructions and sending someone to visit me nevertheless. Should it be necessary, I will obtain an interdict from the Court to prevent you carrying out your threat.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

 

 

 

Regards.

 

Scott.

God bless you lot! As you can gather I am taking all and everything at its face value -time for a reality check I think. I had already written to them that I would only correspond in writing and react to written material and there I was, in headless chicken mode.

 

Many thanks and keep up the great work.

 

Kind regards,

Hi -to be honest I do not have a clue. It is an area I never looked at or considered as I thought well it is my CC and if I borrowed it etc I need to pay it back. But the recent operations have put my earning capacity on hold and that has screwed up the whole affair. normally I would just keep on paying but it became the choice between feeding the kids and paying the mortgage - or the CC. The CC lost the argument.

 

Kind regards,

David

Hi,

 

Know what you mean about the 'if I borrowed it' bit, but when they hit you with charges way over what it's costling them to manage your account, then there's no way you should be paying them.

 

If you don't have all your statements, you can always send a Subject Access Request to your origional creditors, this would let you know the score regarding payments made and any charges applied to your account.

 

Can I ask how old are the cards and were any of them applied for on-line ?

Any advice I give is honest and in good faith.:)

yes if you put in a reclaim it will be in dispute, though it rarely makes any diff to the theat-o-grams.

 

it might not be a bad idea to write them and state that you want all the unlawfully charges back that have been levied against the A/C and a re thus disputing the outstanding balance.

 

please refund them inc int at THEIR purchase rate ASAP.
