    • 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.

mozz, sorry good fella but the file images are too small! The files you emailed me could only be uploaded as thumbnails. Good grief! Sorry mate, have tried. I can't get the hang of this new website, even using smilies needs the advanced edit tab (which of course you don't have!) :mad:

 

Cheers TDS. Thanks for the help anyway.

 

I'll try Car's photobucket suggestion...see how I get on!

Not like you shadow ... ;)

 

If you do get a letter like that and you know the bank has told porkies about you Mozz1 , I'd ask the CRA for a copy of the letter the bank sent....If indeed they've fibbed about you then you can really hammer 'em .... because they should have investigated again when the CRA asked them to confirm.... so they'll have lied twice ...........

Final Demand makes no reference to the OFT's Determination. Come to think of it, it doesn' mention the words "over draft."

 

Does it make a difference? They can do what they like with Overdrafts - the consumer has no rights it seems to me. Bl**dy disgusting. Apparently the OFT Determination is in "the Public Interest"

Here is the latest from the Shanghai.

 

 

I hope the photobucket lark works :/

 

Our feelings are that they are in clear breach of the Lending Code in (a) not corresponding regarding a repayment plan after the letter in response to their first excess notice (b) negligent in not replying to the second letter in response to their final excess notice and © in breach of the Code in demanding contact by telephone.

The bank have REFUSED to discuss whether the Default at the CRAs will be removed in its entirety (their original letter was vague on this point)

They have admitted that no facility letter/original agreemkent was ever sent :) para 3 of the 2nd page refers

Resolving this focuses on whether the Final Demand letter was (a) valid (b) issued correctly © not in breach of the Lending Code (d) negligent

We think it was neglient and have told them that in response

Want the Default removed o\w will continue down the Foz route and then the ICO

 

any thoughts?

Looks like I've got the hang of this photobucket stuff :) :)

 

Good on yer :)

 

I think the bank are on very dodgy ground and pretty much adnit it in the letter.

 

First off, they admit to ignoring your second letter because you didn't telephone thrm. You don't have to. Period.

 

Second, they have to enter into dialogue and consider a repyament plan, which they didn't. When they DID it was after the Final Demand was sent to you and some plod appears to have pressed the "no" button because of the Final Demand. What utter idiots they are. They must be breaking every rule in the Code book here.

 

Third, IMHO while the Final Demand may have been drafted correctly, it was, as you say, sent negligently because the bank ran roughshod over your hardship letters and didn't properly consider them.

 

That's my thinking on this Mozz1.

You definitely 'Wan-Ton' complain about them ;)

Hi mozz1

 

That seems like a fair one ... you are actually asking for Data that they hold , so it's the same as asking the bank for all the stuff they've got on you ..........if you think it's worth a tenner to see if the bank have been : a) telling porkies or :b) being economical with the truth , and :c) contravening the rules for Default reporting.......... Then I'd say go for it ........

cheers johnny.

well, we have quite a bit to sling at 'em so i figure sending SARs to the CRAs would be the right thing to do if HSBC don't remove that pesky default from her credit file.

 

do you have a view on the bank's letter viz their insistence that the default letter was valid (by that I mean not "valid" per se but whether it was sent negligently)?

I'll move the HSBC correspondence now as no one else is commenting. Will keep you updated as to HSBC's response to my demand about the default being removed. We suspect that they will refuse on the basis that they claim the default letter was validly issued in accordance witht heir "standard procedures." Which is made given they have re-opened the account and all that has happened. But will let you know.
