    • 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

 

Have written my initial S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) letter to Barclaycard. They sent this (edited) reply...

 

Unfortunately we are unable to to disclose any statement documentation to you pursuant to your request under the Data Protection Act as there has been no transactional data on your account since may 2004.

 

May I clarify that the Data Protection Act provides you with the right to a copy of your own personal data where that data is stored on a relevant filing system.

 

B'card statements held prior to May 2004 are stored on microfiche. They are not stored by reference to account number or customer name and are not "readily accessible" within the meaning of the Data Protection Act. These statements are therefore not retained in a relevant filing system and therefore do not fall within the class of documents to be produced pursuant to a SAR. They can be obtained from our Customer Service Dept at a cost of £3 per statement (so they have got them then - yet they say they can't provide me with statements, Oh, but they will if I cough up £3 a pop - not bl**dy likely!)

 

Furthermore, we are unable to provide a computer print-out of transactions on your account to date. Our computer systems do not permit us to print such historic data. Neither do our computer systems allow us to search for and identify individual charges applied to an account. It is therefore, not possible to provide you with a print-out of such charges. I would also add that Barclaycard did not introduce default charges on its accounts until mid 2001.

 

etc...

 

I believe they are still using an abacus system then, powered by carrot or something... Do they seriously expect me to believe their systems are that archaic?

 

Any suggestions for next step to take? Has anyone else had this letter - what did you do?

 

All contributions very gratefully received!

 

Thanks

 

Helen

Thanks Zootscoot - I tried, but his mailbox is full, surprise surprise!

 

Instead I trawled through his threads and I think I've found what I was looking for.

 

Many thanks
