    • 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,

Please can anyone advise me on the following-

 

Back in 2000 my husband and I took out a mortgage with the Abbey national

and as I was self employed we were told it was imperative that we took out their Paymentcare policy to cover my half of the mortgage if I was unable to work.

 

At the time I was working less than 16 hours a week and in hindsight my husbands wages would have easily covered the mortgage if I couldn't work

 

12 years down the line, I am still paying £18 a month for this policy and the shocking thing is I didn't realise I still had it until I started looking at my bank statements

- I know that's really bad!!!

 

Do you think it would be worth looking into this further as the policy booklet states to be covered,

the self employed must work for more than 16 hours a week and I still don't?

Many thanks in advance for any help given.:-)

Hi

 

There's two reasons there for a mis-sale.

 

Get reclaiming.

 

Use this spreadsheet to work out your claim amount

 

StatIntSheet v101.xls

 

Just enter the dates of the payments you have made, a description and the amount.

 

Go to the fos website and download a consumer questionnaire and complete is.

 

Send the completed questionnaire and a copy of the spreadsheet together with a brief letter requiring refund to the lender

Thanks for the info.

Should I get an 'official' questionnaire from Santander aswell as the letter template and spreadsheet as advised?

Hi there,

I currently have a PPI complaint against Santander regarding the mis-selling of PPI on my mortgage.

In a nutshell, I'm self-employed and work for less than 16 hours a week however looking into the small print of the policy booklet, you have to work for more than 16 hours a week to claim.

Also my husbands wages are sufficient to cover the mortgage if I was unable to work.

The stupid thing is the policy is still running.Will this affect the claim?

Should I just cancel the policy straight away?

Sorry but not very money savvy-be gentle!!!

Two threads on the same subject merged...please keep to one thread for this issue.

 

No it won't affect the claim but you can write and cancel if you feel happier that way

Hi there,

After being all positive regarding my PPI claim against Santander I am now a little worried.

The basis of my claim is that I don't (usually) work for more than 16 hours a week on a self-employed basis.

However, I've just discovered my working tax credit form from a few years ago which states that for a couple of years I worked for 20 hours a week.

Do you think they would check this?

I only have to fill in a short tax return and there's nothing to state on there how many hours I actually work.

I'm getting myself worried now that they might send the fraud squad round!

Help Please Anybody?

Hi woodyt,

 

I'm sure one of the experts will be along soon but the important part of what you said is "self-employed". I'm sure that it does not matter how many hours you work. A claim based on being self-employed is a claim based on being self-employed, irrespective of the number of hours worked.

 

If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will say so.

 

Also claims usually have more than one reason for being mis-sold.

Hi Woody

 

I have merged your threads again......please just stick to this ONE thread for your Santander PPI claim.

 

The bank won't have access to your tax records so don't worry about that.

 

Most PPI policies require the self employed to more or less go out of business in order to be able to claim on the policy which generally makes it useless to them

 

Just wait and see what they come back with but whatever it is, it won't be as a result of them checking your tax records

Hi IMS,

Thanks again for your advice and sorry that I haven't got to grips with the posting of threads,hopefully there won't be many more!

You've really put my mind at ease and I shall sleep better tonight.

I've had 'one of those days' and discovering this was the final straw!

Many thanks again

Kind regards

Woodyt

hi all,

employed,

took payment care policy out back in 2008 and then found when I needed it most due to unemployment, that it was a waste of time, not worth the paper it was written on.

 

So cancelled in 2011, payments totaling £1351.42.

 

Can I claim this back plus interest?

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

Mark.
