    • 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 am appealing for your help on Penalty charges and their changing amounts over the last 6 years, maybe even their changing names. I hope to use this as a research thread for now so I can collate all the details into one thread to help the Mods and Site Helpers to have an easy reference guide for newbies.

 

I am needing info on the charges and amounts

 

Thanks in Advance

Ok this has not been working well so I will give you the grand idea. I want to put together a definitive charges thread for Co Op bank. The amounts have changed in 6 years so I want to know the figures for unpaids referrals over the overdraft limit, the full works, so go on post something to start it off. Please

Co-op

2001

Daily excess charge £4.50/day

Service charge (not fee) £10

Commission £15 (?)

 

2003

Daily excess charge £5

Service charge £8 & £25 (?)

Commission £35

The award for utter confusion in the charges game definitely goes to the Co-op

your starter for 10 or should that be 15...20...25..30..39 ???

 

Figures taken from statements based on a Privilage account not sure if charges were standard accross accounts will post 'basic' current details in seperate post

 

Sept 02

Authorised o/d no int charges on first £100 int charged at 1.02% per month (12.9% AER) thereafter

 

Unauthorised O/d £25 + £9 each day balance increases (max 4) 2.21% per month (29.9% EAR) (called service Charge & Dailly Excess Charge on statement)

 

Unpaid DD/ bounced chq etc £30 (called commission on statements)

I think the Statute of Limitations will give you no legal ground to claim charges any further back than 6 years from the time you make your claim to the bank. You can still claim, but you will have no legal grounds to recover the money. Saying that, is worth checking with other people in case I have the wrong understanding of the law :roll:

As most of you already got through so much grief and trouble, I need your advise for my preperation against my partners bank. (co op)

She phoned her bank up, asking for the cost of getting the account statments of the last 6 years and they said it would cost her £5 for each month.So for 6 years thats then £360. Did you all pay £360 (!) to get your balance/transaction sheets? Nobody mentions that anywhere here.

Help me, what is going on?

She is obviously not saying on the phone to her bank. Excuse me please but the fellows of my partner on the interne said it is costing only £10 for all statments together.

So what should she refer to? Guys, I am struggling here.

Please help.

Thank you.

Alex :idea:

Hi All,

 

Got all my statements from the Bank, just so i know what i am doing, am i right in assuming that i can claim for all of the above mentioned charges (except the refunds of course:) ).

 

They have really ticked me off today, i had £8.34 in my account and some other money due in, a direct debit for £9.39 was refused, they then charged me £35 for it, another direct debit for £5.40 then arrived, as the £35 put me overlimit they refused that as well (another £35) then a third for £13 was refused (all in 2 days) (another £35), so they would not let my account go £19.45 over to pay these until the money cleared but they made me £96 overdrawn with their charges, thanks Muppets. i'll be having that back as well!!!!

 

Rant over

 

Thanks for any assistance

 

David
