    • 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.

hello. in the process of trying to claim back the charges. but have a couple of questions.

 

story so far...

1/10/06

sent subject access request letter from the library.

 

4/10/06

received a letter from a one Peter Townsend returning the cheque and basically saying the statements would arrive soon.

 

part of the letter threw me a bit but im hoping this is just a standard thing they send out now...

As regards your mention of "manual intervention", the Data Protection Act does not oblige the Bank to comment about internal policies and procedures. Furthermore in the context of managing of day to day transactions arrising from out of order accounts, the Bank does not hold the information you have requested in a form that would be covered by the Data Protection Act. Whilst aggregated information is retained for statistical purposes, this would not constitute personal data under the Data Protection Act and therefore would not be covered by a s.7 Data Protection Act subject access request. For the avoidance of doubt the fact that we do not generaly record information in a way that is caught by the provisions of the DPA, is in no way an admission that there was no such manual intervention"

 

I find that last bit slightly worrying? should i be worried by this?

 

 

so anyway. today

9/10/06

 

Received 3 envelopes stuffed with statements.

 

we have gone through them noting the Paid Referals, Unpaids Out and Unauthorised OD fees and entered them into the Basic Bank charges spreadsheet as found here...

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/182-6-interest-calculation-spreadsheets.html

 

Its giving a total of £2810.00 back as far as Nov 2000 with an 8% interest of £534.48

 

Im a little confused as what to do next. Do i just enter these two figures into the preliminatry reproach for payment letter as shown here?

I calculate that you have taken £XXXXX plus £XXX which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken. Total £XXXXX .

 

 

Hope someone can help me with these couple of questions so we can take this to the next stage.

 

thanks

Good afternoon. Your next step should be to send the schedule of charges spreadsheet. You need to make sure that you aren't chasing the 8% interest at this point. This only comes into play if you file on money claim. The interest that is mentioned at this point is the interest you have aacrued whilst you have been overdrawn due to the bank stinging you with charges. Also, I amended the spreadsheets once I had entered the data and made two copies of it. One with the 8% when you file and one without for now. Print the one without 8% on now and enclose it with your polite preliminary request for payment. Hope this helps. If I have helped, please click on my scales!! Good luck, let the quest begin

No. What you do is edit the text to:

 

"I calculate that you have taken £2810. I am enclosing a schedule of charges ..... etc"

 

unless you are claiming the interest they have charged you. Don't get confused with the 8% interest. That's not in the game at this point. I think I can safely say that the majority of people don't go for the interest charged in the statements as it's abit fiddly to work out. But, that's up to you. I didn't because in my case it didn't add up to much.

 

When you print out the schedule, you should "set print area" in the excel spreadsheet but don't include the "days since offence" and "Interest @ 8%" in that area.

Ok received a letter from Head Office Customer Relations...

 

May I say how sorry I am to learn that you feel the bank charges you have incurred are unfair. In your correspondence you have refered to elements which you feel support your claim. Barclays is aware of the information you have drawn to out attention. I must inform you, however, that we disagree with your view.

 

When an account is opened with us, our customer is provided with a copy of the terms and condition relating to the use of their account including details of our charges.

This information clearly explains our obligations to our customers as well as their obligations to us. If we make any changes to the terms and conditions we provide details of these changes to our customers in line with the banking code. Details of our terms and conditions along with our charging tarriff can be obtained at any of our branches or via our internet site www.woolwich.co.uk/barclays.co.uk.

 

Despite my comments above in relation to your views, on this occasion, and without any admission of liability, I am willing to offer the sum of £1000 towards the total amount you are seeking. This is with the cost of inconvenience inherent in a further dispute in mind and is intended as a gesture of good will, in full and final settlement of your complaint.

 

So I send a letter back accepting the £1000 as a part settlement but say will be still going ahead with the claim for the rest?

Sent letter as response to offer of £1000 rejecting it as a full and final settlement.

 

Ok so now with the dealine coming up. I need a few things clarified if someone would be so kind.

 

When I make a claim using MCOL on the website. What happens next?

 

do i need to send a copy of schedule of charges (including 8% interest) to BOTH the MCOL people and to barclays bank? If so what addresses should these go to?

 

Is there anything else i need to send or do at this stage? Im sorry if these are FAQ's but ive read through the site and i think ive confused myself by downloading the Court Bundle found in the library. Just want to make sure im 100% on this before going ahead.

 

thanks again

You now need to produce a schedule that includes the 8% interest and you should, after filing your claim with MCOL, send one copy to MCOL by post, and, at the top of that one, you must put your claim reference number which MCOL will have given you. Produce another and substitute the MCOL number with the reference number from the Banks’ letter to you.

Include a letter in each referring to the schedule, and mention that you have sent the other party a copy of this schedule. I have sent every one of my letters by recorded delivery. Some people here say that that is not necessary but I did anyway. It’s up to you at the end of the day.

 

Here are the addresses:

 

Barclays Bank PLC

Litigation and Disputes team

Level 29

1 Churchill Place

London

E14 5HP

The Court Manager

Money Claim Online

Northampton County Court

21-27 St. Katharine's Street

Northampton

NN1 2LH

Do i now just wait and see what happens? or is there something else i should be doing over the next couple of weeks? ie I havnt done the court bundle yet so should i wait for them to file the defence or start this now?

If, by now, the MCOL page doesn't show "defended", try clicking on the judgement botton after midnight tonight or in any case before 9am tomorrow and see whether it lets you do it. If it does, it will be dealt with tomorrow. If not, the court may have a backlog of paperwork and it's maybe because of this that they havn't got to the bottom of the pile yet.

Sorry to disappoint you but don't count your chickens just yet. They have a knack to carry on by the skin of their teeth. Everything last minute with them.

 

You will get your money, but not just yet. My prediction? - Mid to end of February.
