    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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 FDAO.

 

Just reading your thread.

 

Can you tell me roughly how much there has been in charges. The supreme court judgment only applied to bank charges, so it may be an idea to look at reclaiming the credit card charges instead of going down the CCA route which is rather more complicated.

Although I don't think that you should provide an I&E for BOS, I do think that you should do one for yourself. Work out a budget including all your income and all your expenditure for yourself and your family. Leave off the debts to begin with so you can see what you have left over. When you have done that, see what is left to pay off any debts to make sure that you can really afford what you are paying.

 

Stop talking to these people on the phone. Make it clear that you dispute the amount that they want from you which should stop them taking action against you.

 

Send the telephone harassment letter too. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/resources/templates-library/52-harassment/135--harassment-by-telephone-response-letter-

 

Time for you to take control of the situation.;-)

update - had a letter from Halifax this morning and it seems that they are admitting that they had misold the PPI and they have passed it to another team to work out what I am owed and it will be credited to my credit card!

 

I am gob smacked - will update the post when I know how much they will be refunding.

 

I now need to steer them towards my other credit card, as at the moment they have only looked into one.

 

lets see what happens next. :-)

hello there, yes sent the SAR, but their reply has crossed with my workings out as I still have my head in that one.

 

I will be thankful for anything as its better than nothing, and at least it something that I dont need to find.

 

Perhaps I am looking at this the wrong way?

Good start feely, and good advice from dotty. Work out for yourself how much you think it should be including interest, and don't settle for anything less.

 

Don't forget there's still the little matter of the charges.;-)

Afternoon or evening as it now is, I have spent the day working out my PPI plus the purchase interest from the date it was added up until the interest was frozen added the 8% interest from the date the PPI + Interest was added up until the interest was frozen and wow, if I get anything like that figure back I will be amazed.

 

question is = how do i know if I have my workings right?

 

the task for this evening is to work out the charges, I have used the compound interest calculater that was kindley sent to me from dx100, have I worked things our correctly?

 

My PPI calcs seem so much??:confused:
