    • 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 all,

 

I sent Santander a secure message via my online banking saying

 

"I am contacting you today to have you action the cancellation of ALL continous payment authorities on my account. For the avoidance of doubt, Direct Debits are to remain unaffected"

 

I received this reply

 

 

Good Afternoon M* ******** To cancel a continuous card payment that you have agreed to, please telephone our Telephone Banking Team on 08459 724 724 Monday to Saturday 7am to 11pm and Sunday 8am to 10pm to arrange this.

I hope this information is useful and if you have any other queries, please do not hesitate to contact me via Secure Messaging or my colleagues on 0845 9724724.

Regards,

*********

Santander Customer Services

 

 

I have spoken to them on the phone and been told no, has to be a written request. So I sent a reply stating that as already demanded I expect confirmation that all CPA's are now ceased.

 

I got this in reply,

 

Good afternoon M* ******* As explained in the previous email, if you wish to cancel a continuous card payment you must contact us on 0845 9724 724. We are not obliged by FSA regulation to carry out your instruction simply because you have asked us to via email.

When you log into your online banking you are verified to a certain level that will permit us to complete certain transactions for you when you make a request via our secure messaging service. If we cannot complete a transaction when requested via email, then we will instruct you how to complete your desired transaction, and in this case you have been advised to call us on 0845 9724 724.

If you do not wish to call us then you can visit a branch with photo ID and proof of account ownership, but please be aware that we will not submit a claim to stop a continuous card payment if you make the request via this channel.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any further queries.

Regards P****,

Santander Customer Services.

 

 

 

What is the deal here ? I could go too branch, but taking extra ID ! What planet are these goons living on !! From what I have read about CPA's, once a bank has been told to cancel them in writing they must do that.

I have contacted them by a means of writing, afterall the year is 2012 ! and as you can see they outright refuse.

 

Thanks in advance for replies.

There are a lot of articles on CAG in respect of CPAs - so use the advanced search facility, top right hand corner of the screen.. You might want to have a read of the link above as well .

 

I think the call centre are probably just giving you the run around - they are obliged by the rules to stop these as soon as requested. If they do decide to make payments despite your instructions then they must refund your money and charges that you incur if they take you overdrawn.

Having discussed this with other site team members, it would appear that you are going to have to go into the branch with ID and your letter of instruction.
