    • 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 to all

I am new here and for the life of me I am no good at maths:confused:, I am trying to claim back PPI insurance on a loan I have with the Halifax, unfortunately I have defaulted on the account, so I am therefore hoping not to get any money back but to hopefully offset any possible PPI reclaim off the debt.

 

Amount of Credit (cash Loan) £5,000

Amount of Credit (the insurance loan) £1565.58

Total amount of Credit (The total Loan) £6,565.58

Duration of agreement is 84 months

Total amount I pay for the cash loan £7,838.88

Total amount I pay for the insurance loan £2,454.48

Total amount I pay for the total loan £10,293.36

 

Monthly Payments are £122.54

 

!st repayment was made on 3/11/05, I have made a total of 41 payments but I have now defaulted.

 

I am unable to claim on the PPI as I was self-emloyed at the time I took it out and the insurance was not suitable for me.

 

Can any one please help.

 

I would also like to apologies if I have put this new thread in the wrong section.

Thank you

Hi Smudger,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

You have definitely come to the right place for advice about PPI insurance.

 

I suggest you have a read of the stickys on the PPI home page as there is lots of useful information on there about reclaiming PPI.

 

Meanwhile, couple of questions for you:

 

1) What is the APR on this loan?

 

2) Does Halifax still own the loan, or has it been sold to another company?

Thank you for the advice, have had a look and I can't work out spreadsheets. Sorry for being so dumb, probably the reason I'm in the mess I'm in.

 

The APR on this is 13.9% and yes the Halifax still own it at the moment. If it changes I will let you know.

 

Many thanks again

Hi Smudger,

 

You are not dumb. I remember I was overwhelmed when I first saw them and could not work out how to use them. So you have done the right thing coming to the forum and asking for help.

 

To work out how much to reclaim:

 

1) We calculate how much of your monthly repayment was going against paying off the loan for PPI. This amount is £29.12.

 

2) Then multiply the £29.12 * the number of monthly repayments you have made, so in your case 41. This gives us a total of £1,193.92.

 

3) You are also entitled to claim back statutory interest at 8% per annum on each of the monthly repayments, form the date of each repayment to the date Halifax refund your money. As we cannot know this date right now, I have use 1st September 2010 as the date. If and when Halifax agree to refund your money, they will do their own calculations anyway. The idea here is for you to understand how it is calculated and give you an idea of how much it should be.

 

I have completed a spreadsheet with the calculations for you and attached it below. If you have any further questions, just ask. There is always someone who is willing to help around here.

 

Good luck

Thank you to all who answered, I can send my letter off now and look like I know what I am talking about, which I think reading all the threads is what helps you hopefully in the long run win your fight.

 

Godbless you all
