    • 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,

I spoke with Woolwich in August last year about additional borrowing: they claimed I needed to move to a capital repayment to qualify.

I told them if I could secure the borrowing I would make the change.

 

Next thing I know I have an arrears letter for 2400GBP claiming that this phone call had allowed them to make the change and that I owed them an additional 345GBP per month through last 5 months of the year.

 

When I called to complain the first two or three people said they could not find any reason for the change and it should stay as interest only.

 

Finally today I speak to a member of their team who says:

a) I was told on the phone call and they have honoured my request to change to repayment: no contract is apparently necessary to make this change and they can not change it back

b)they said as i have a standing order to pay my mortgage they were unable to make any changes to my account information

c) they do not offer interest only mortgages so I can not change back

 

 

None of this makes any sense and I am happy to pay them my mortgage but do not like the idea that a phone call authorises them adding 75% to my mortgage each month...

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to use a phone call to authorise a mortgage change, and also what the steps are that I can take to make them correct this ?

 

Any support gratefully appreciated as am finding them a complete nightmare to deal with on my own!!

 

FOS are happy to register complaint and send a letter but hoped there might be a better solution via this forum!

Hi Mwr and welcome to CAG

 

Sorry for the delayed response - this forum can get overlooked sometimes.

 

It is ridiculous that a major change was made on the basis of a phone call, without you being told of the revised Terms and Conditions, and the repayment requirements.

 

I wonder if someone has done this to improve their figures, but left you in the lurch as a result.

 

Forget discussing this by phone. You need a solid papertrail.

 

Make a formal complaint to Woolwich (Barclays) briefly setting out your grievances and enclose a brief chronological list of the discussions that took place with approximate dates if you don't have exact ones. You should also list what solution you require.

 

Once you find out what has happened, you may also consider asking for compensation for the worry and trouble this has caused.

 

It may be necessary for you to send the bank a SAR to get back the info they hold about you and any communications between you.

 

But I'd start with a Head Office complaint giving them 7 days to respond. Send it by Recorded Delivery.

Thank you,

It did not make any sense that they could enforce any changes on a phone call: I am totally unaware of any other part of life in which this is possible..

 

When it asks for the 10GBP fee can I just send them 10 pound note or should I send them the check they asked for?

Hi mrw,

 

A cheque or postal order is the norm.

 

If you're sending a SAR, specifically ask for recordings of tel cons on or around the relevant date(s).

 

Also, if you are being sent demands because they think the a/c is in arrears, you should point out in your compaint letter that the matter is in clear dispute and they must withhold any demands.

 

You also need to check your Credit files to ensure they have not placed adverse markers in respect of this. If they have, and it transpires that they have acted improperly, you may want to consider seeking compensation for actual losses and/or damage caused to your reputation.

Hi mrw,

 

Did you get your mortgage problem resolved.

 

An update would be useful.
