    • 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.

Recieved a DN from Lloyds giving me 10 days from the date of the letter to clear the arrears or have it passed to their solicitors. I have read on other parts of the CAG that in order for the DN to be valid the have to allow 14 days (12 days + 2 posting days) for a DN to be legal. Am I correct in this and if the DN is invalid then where does this leave me if they pass it to the solicitors etc.

 

Thanks in advance,

Under the CCA you should have 14 days from receipt of the D/N to rectify the breach.

Receipt is deemed to be 2 days after posting if sent 1st class and 4 days if sent second class post.

If you post up the D/N after removing personal details then people will be able to advise you further.

Thanks dx.

Will sit and hold tight - do I need to contact them to reiterate the offer of payment as it's now moved to debt recovery or just take it that they will take the agreed amount at the begining of next month - I don't want them not taking it as it would look bad on me.

 

Cheers,

You should be aware that if you bank with Lloyds or an associated bank there exists the possibility that they will use their right to offset and help themselves to money in your account to pay off the arrears.

 

Advise on here if you do bank with them is to open a 'parachute' account at a different bank like the Co-Op and transfer your pennies there.

First thing I done and also one of the best!!! Life has been so much easier without Lloyds charges looming every month - was the first (and one of the best) pieces of advice to come from this forum.

being naive when I set up the arrangements they said I had to pay by DD ond couldn't accept SO's which would be better in hindsight.

 

Switch to SO. Gives you more control.

Okay, so I spoke too soon. They sent me their revised overdraft charges today.

 

Each month I pay a bit off my overdraft with the view of eventually clearing it. Currently they only charge interest for authorised overdrafts, so as long as I pay more than the interest, little by little the overdraft decreases.

 

From December they will be charging interest and a £5 monthly fee for using an overdraft on each account.

The good news is however they have significantly reduced their unplanned OD charges (About time Mr Lloyds, 10/10.).

 

A few years ago I would have welcomed these revised charges, and guess for many they will drastically improve things. For me however it means I have to find at least an extra £5 each month just to stop the balance from dropping lower.

Hi again.

Just received this letter from SCM - pretty standard I guess.

 

http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac268/isucwrowftts/SAVE0019.jpg

 

Should I now contact Lloyds with my offer of payment, SCM and point out that the DN was invalid or what would anyone suggest.

Love the way it came in a Lloyds Collections envelope with the address the same as Lloyds, and also that someone has taken time to sign it "SCM" - must employ someone with those initials just to sign letters!!

Whilst on the subject as per my previous responses I would much prefer to pay by SO rather than DD - Lloyds told me this was impossible - has anyone had any joy with this??

Thanks in advance,

Isucwrowftts.

They're offering to accept a reduced sum which might well indicate that they realise they have problems with the D/N.

 

In my opinion you can either write to Lloyds and request in writing as to what the reduced sum would be and their proposed monthly repayments--tell them you have a hearing difficulty so that you are unable to discuss any matters on the phone.

 

If their proposals do not find favour with you then you can always let the letter writing and phone calls from SCM begin.

 

I believe that they are obliged to accept payment by any commonly acceptable method--others should be able to confirm.
