    • 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.

Claim against Coldseal/ GE Money Home Lending??

Hiya all,

 

I bought new windows through Coldseal in 2004, which was funded by a loan.

What I didnt know was that PPi was included .

 

From what I can make out, GE Money was the actual lender of the loan,

 

Coldseal was the broker and a salesman called round to my house, hope this is all making sense

 

The loan for the windows was paid off in July 2005 and Coldseal have gone bust....

 

I have a letter from GE Money dated 2009 stating that the PPI will expire on 18/08/2009 which includes the account number.

 

I have spoken to GE Money today who told me that I would have to contact the FSCS,

which I have done and they state that I cannot claim anything as they can only go back to 14 Jan 2005.

 

I have read on here that this isnt quite the case, as it is less than six years since the PPI ceased..

.I am now stuck as to what to do or how to proceed with any claim I may have,

 

any help would be greatly appreciated

FN are now GE money.

 

Always start your claim with the lender in writing although GE can be a toughie to crack.

 

Put in a written claim using the fos consumer questionnaire (available from the fos website) and a spreadsheet of claim. Have a read of No.1 in my signature for details on how to work it out and use the spreadsheets at the end to help you.

 

 

Coldseal would have been acting as agents for GE, they are not brokers as they would not have had any other product to offer so S56 CCA 1974 would help in this case.

Thanks for the advice ims,

am already in the process of filling out the questionnaire,

but am now stuck on question C1,

I have a policy number but for the life of me I cant find an account number anywhere,

should I just leave it blank and put an explaination in further down?

Got ya, very interesting reading, thanks.

 

Am now a little disheartened with the claim form as section E asks what we were told about the benefits etc of the PPI,

and neither myself or my hubby can remember the salesman discussing anything about it with us,

yet we both signed the agreement,

although it isnt worded as Payment Protection Insurance - rather Protected Payment Premium

Thanks again for the speedy reply,

 

I have filled out the form as follows:

'We have no recollection of the salesman discussing Payment Protection Insurance with us, either benefits or otherwise.'

 

and on the next question

'Please tell us why you are now unhappy with the insurance'

I have stated:

'We dont believe that we were given a choice in the matter regarding PPi when we signed the agreement.

The actual wording on the agreement is Protected Payment Premium and as such we believed that it was non-negotiable'

 

In truth, had we known that it was, and IF we had chosen to take it out,

we would have put my name first on the agreement as I earn more money than my hubby and it only covered the first-named on the policy..

...but should I also state that on the form?

Yes just put the bit I have highlighted in red and say that you felt it was compulsory

Well you did say to shout.

....love the wording for the cover letter btw,

...looking at the spreadsheet, the interest is calculated at 8% but my loan rate was a ridiculously high 22%,

and the loan was taken out over 120 months,

although we paid it off after around 12 months....

.....how do I now work things out??

Hi

 

You need to work out the percentage of the PPI to the total loan using the formula "PPI amount / Total loan amount (inc. PPI) x 100.

 

Apply that percentage to your monthly repayment. The resultant figure is the amount you were paying for the PPI part of the loan each month including the bank's interest.

 

List those amounts in the spreadsheet giving the date of the payment, the description ("PPi Payment") and the amount.

 

The sheet will work out the 8% interest that you get on top of that to give you a total claim amount in the box at the top right of the sheet.

Insurance premium is £259.45 and total amount borrowed is £2359.45 making the insurance 11% of the total.

 

So 11% of each repayment you made is for the PPI. 11% of £44.16 is £4.86.

 

In the spreadsheet list the payments of £4.86 made.

 

When you get to the point where you paid the loan off then take 11% f the settlement figure and enter that as the last entry in the sheet.

 

To get the dates of payment (if you don't have a record of the actual payments) start the frst payment one month after the date of the agreement and then monthly thereafter.
