    • Hi all, I purchased a car in January from Big Motoring World Leeds. At the time of sale I was shown a tab on the salespersons computer marked 'service history' and I was able to take comfort knowing that the car had been serviced on 3 occasions as the date, mileage and company was there on screen. Being a 3 and a bit year old car that, in my mind, constituted full service history 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, collected the car a week later. Once home I settled down to through the book pack etc. Opened the service history booklet and it was completely blank. In addition there were no invoices detailing that any services had been done. I duly contacted BMW and asked them to supply me with proof of service history. They responded saying that on their 'vehicle documentation checklist' I had ticked and then signed to the fact that I had seen the service history and that I was happy with it. I dug out this checklist and what it actually states is 'seen service history online' which I had in the showroom. BMW seem to think that this satisfies their responsibility in providing service history. The reality is that I don't have any proof that the vehicle has ever been serviced! For my own peace of mind I ended up paying for a service that satisfied the manufacturers maintenance schedule to the tune of £330. I even complained to the finance company that the vehicle contravenes the Sale of Goods act 2015 as l, in effect, ot is not as described. Amazingly they weren't interested and instead I just got an email stating that it's not illegal to sell a vehicle without service history and that servicing costs were part and parcel of vehicle ownership. I've since complained to the ombudsman and am awaiting to see if they can help. I have no issue with the car but the treatment and customer service has been the worst I've ever experienced. I don't really know what to do next as I really do feel aggrieved that I've had to pay to service a car that should have already been serviced. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? 🙏

    • 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.

I received a letter today from halifax card services saying that the £25 charges are legal because i had signed the agreement inwhich it states this. Therefor i am not intitled to any refund. Has anyon else had a letter like this or does anyone know if what they are saying is true and i am unable to claim back late fee charges??

It is entirely untrue and you can and should claim them. Regardless of the T&C's that you signed these charges are unlawful. Claim them all.

iGroup (GE Money) - AoS Filed late, defence late, amended defence also late despite extra time requested and granted.

Vanquis - Claim issued, no AoS or Defence received

Hi all just received an improved off from halifax for £532.00 increased for £180. I am claiming a total of £723. In their letter they improved their off to £532 and include an acceptance form but by looking at the acceptance form i have noticed a few mistakes (tho i suspect on purpose).

 

Fist of all they have only put £432 instead of £532 on the form i am signing and secondly the have put in the acceptance form that ' i accept the offer of £432.00 from halifax in full and final settlement of my complaint regarding bank charges made on my halifax accounts. Notice they have put accountS and not account. As i have just filled a moneyclaim against them for my credit card charges i fear that they are trying to get me to agree to this and this would also act as a settlement for my credit card charges.

 

Very underhanded tactics i think.

 

Has anyone else had this type of letter?

Accept offer as part payment only. You cannot just turn it down.

 

The halifax will say no and then you continue down the track.

 

Keep going you will get your money.

I filled my cliam online at the end of August. I received a letter from the court saying it has been served to halifax on the 4th. I received acknowledge from halifax on the 7th saying they intend to defend. Since then i have heard nothing, it seems that they are paying out a lot quickly to others. I dont have an account with them anymore. Is it possible that they have just forgotten about it or are they making me wait??

 

Any advice would be great.

Maybe a quick call to give them a nugde wouldnt go a miss? It may just be a case of it taking longer when they have to raise a cheque instead of a direct transfer into the account.

 

This is one of my concerns as our account is with a dmc cos its 1800 overdrawn but we still get statements every month and it has been converted to a cash card account so i presume its still an 'open' account.

 

Just ring up and chase it
