    • 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've been reading some posts on here and he good advice offered so I thoughtId join and see if someone could offer me some advice....

I took out a loan with HFC bank some years ago. At the time of applying forthe loan (in person) I was told that unless I took out PPI my loan applicationwould be unsuccessful. I have now decided to try and reclaim the PPI as Ibelieve it was mis-sold. The loan is now paid off and as a result I’ve destroyedall the paperwork so don’t have any details of the loan, i.e. account numberetc.

Could someone tell me how (if it is possible) I can get these details fromHFC and what details need to supply. Also would I have to provide any ID to getthe info? Do I then just write to them asking saying I want to reclaim the PPI?Sorry for all the questions but I’ve read that many websites about reclaimingPPI that I’m more confused then when I started!

Thank you!

Hi and welcome to CAG

 

I've moved your thread to the PPI forum.

 

HFC were heavily fined for their compulsory PPI strategy so you have a good case.

 

First thing would be to send a Subject Access Request (SAR) to HFC to get as much data as you can from them. There is a template for SAR int he CAG library, the link to which is at the top of every CAG page in green. The cost is £10 and they will have 40 days to comply. Add a paragraph to say that this SAR is to include copies of any and all agreements you have had with them or deatils of the figures from those agreements.

 

When you have your data the normal process would be to complete a fos consumer questionnaire (available from the fos website) together with a spreadsheet of claim and submit both to the lender requiring refund of your money.

 

SAR first though and in the meantime do some reading around the PPI forum to get up to speed on what others are doing.

Hi jilbo78

 

We are in exactly the same boat.

 

I had accounts with HFC closed over 6 years ago and was mis-sold in the same way. I also have no paperwork, shredded it all.

However I found the account numbers on some old bank statements as the payments were direct debits, so you could try that.

 

Good luck

Hi Sucker Punch, If you don't mind me asking, have your tried reclaiming your PPI? I've checked my bank statements and it just says H B, no account details, might give my bank a call though and see if they can provide any more details on the direct debit.

Hi jilbo78

 

No I haven't sent a claim form in yet, I'm waiting to see if they have any account information on record. So far they have replied to my SAR saying they don't hold records for more than 6 years.

 

I have sent a non compliance letter, because they have been able to provide account information for customers longer than six years and asked them to send me proof that my records have been destroyed. I'm just waiting for a reply.

Hi all

 

Apologies in advance for the long post....

 

I posted a while ago asking for help with getting account details from HFC. I have now got the details (well some) and would like to know how to progress, if I can.

 

The reason I'm trying to claim PPI back is at the time of applying for the loan,

although I was told PPI was optional,

 

I was also told that if I didn't also take out PPI the application would be declined due to my age and the amount I was applying for.

 

I told them numerous times that I didn't want PPI but in the end had too to proceed, so......

 

I had 2 loans with HFC.

 

The original one was paid off over 6 years ago so they can't provide any details about it, I do have the account number though.

 

The second loan was used to pay the first one off and the extra was used as I intended.

 

This loan was paid off about 2 or 3 years ago and they have provided details of this loan.

 

In all the paperwork they provided is a copy of a letter I sent about 5 years ago trying claim back PPI on the second loan.

They replied basically saying it wasn't mis-sold as I was told it was optional.

I had forgot I had previously tried claiming PPI back.

I didn't go to the ombudsmen about it as I should have as we were in the middle of a house move and it got pushed to one side and forgotten about.

 

I'm wanting to know if I can claim back PPI on the first loan even though I don't have amounts only the account number

and can I try and claim back the PPI on the second loan even though I have already tried and it was rejected.

 

If I can, how to I go about doing it?

 

Not sure if this is relevant but one of the other reasons they gave when they rejected the claim was "I would like to advise you that your policy was sold prior to the introduction of the FSA's General Insurance regime on 14 January 2005."

 

The PPI amounts aren't huge, on the second loan it was about £1700, I'm not sure about the first but it would be similar.

 

Sorry again for rambling, just want to either sort this out or put it to bed. Thanks

threads merged.

 

yes on both couns just ignore the first try!

 

if you have the agreement for loan 2

it should give a figure for loan 1 pay off.

 

and are you aware of how much PCM loan 1 was?

Hi dx

 

Loan 1 had a balance of £6732.90 when it was paid off with loan 2 in September 2003.

 

I don't know when I took out loan 1 but the monthly payments were £256.

Apart from the account number I don't have any further info on that loan.

 

Loan 2 was for £10,000 with interest it was £14415.84. ASU PPI was £1303.62, with interest £1879.20.

 

Thanks

i would guess you could apply the same 'info' on PPI to loan 1

as is on the loan 2 areement,

PPI was about 13.9% with them at that time?

Sorry if this sounds dumb, do you mean

13.9% Apr? Says 13.7% on the credit agreement.

 

It's confusing claiming back PPI, Im guessing they hope it puts a lot of people off. Mind you like I say it could just be me being dumb!

 

Thanks
