    • 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 all,

 

Quick question I hope.

 

I have been offered a ppi refund but citi/opus have only offered me a refund going back 6 years (I have not started my claim for unfair charges yet!).

 

Has anyone had any luck getting information going back more than 6 years before I send a SAR?

 

Thank you.

The time limit for reclaiming PPI is 6 years from the date that you knew it had been missold or you should reasonably have known.

Tell Citi/Opus that you are on to them.

Hello Bankfodder

Thank you for your quick reply.

They have stated that if I can provide them with older statements they will refund the rest, has anyone been able to get statements older than 6 years from them?

With the charges and ppi, I believe if they have paid or had to pay others through litigation more than 6 years, previous 'practice' or case law would apply, maybe others might have an opinion on this?

Best if you can get the paperwork. However, if they agree that there was PPI in place - and if you can identify which loan it was attached to - the start date or aprox start date of the loan - then I think that you have enough to force them to pay you.

 

You probably7 would have to start a court action but if they have already agreed the misselling, I can't imagine that they would want actually to go into court

Hello All,

 

I have now received the attached reply in response to my SAR request.

 

I originally thought I would send them a signed request to expedite the SAR request but considering I was "given" the card without having to sign a CCA I now feel that they might "lift" my signature.

 

My reaction at the moment is to send them a letter stating that they have been corresponding with me at the address stated for quite a few years so do not understand why they need my signature, as advised on some of the other threads on this forum.

 

Any comments or suggestions please?

Hello All,

 

Just a quick update and a couple of quick questions I hope.

 

I sent off a letter with my signature and utility bill as suggested but I received a further letter yesterday pre-dated to when I sent the information but the envelope was date post marked later than my reply. Do I reply again?

 

Has anyone had any luck in getting any information/statements past the 6 years that Opus claim that they hold the records for? I am wondering if I am going to have to instigate court proceedings on this for the disclosure of the earlier statements from when my account was opened in 2003 . . . .

Hello All,

 

Response to SAR received today.

 

They have only given the credit card statements to January 2006. There is no CCA, No 'reconstituted' agreement or any other agreement, they have given me the current terms and conditions. They have stated on the letter that the 'agreement' is enforceable!! I know I did not sign an agreement for the credit card, it was issued on the'back of a loan' I applied for.

 

There is also no letter stating the debt is now assigned to Opus!

 

I have seen on the other threads that Citi have provided statements going back to 2002, in order to 'prove' that they have records going back more than 6 years, do I need to provide case histories? Or is it up to them to prove they don't have it?

 

I will scan the important letters tomorrow and post them here.

they need to provide you with STRICT PROOF

 

in the form of signed certificates of destruction

for the data they claim they do not have

 

as for the agreements

ideally and you wee not told

you should have added a line to the sar

 

this is to include copies of any/all agreement i held with company or group of companies

Hello Dx,

 

Thank you. Sorry bit lost with all this hence all the questions.

 

I will draft a letter with the items that are missing from the SAR and send to them. Can I post here so you can give it the once over please?

 

As regards the agreements I think there was a line in the SAR letter regarding the agreement but will double check.

 

There is a loan as well and my belief is all of the paperwork relating to that should have been provided with the SAR as the letter states all records relating to me?

  • 7 months later...

Unfortunately, I have now been dealing with Opus for over 6 months and seem to be getting nowhere fast.

 

Opus offered me the PPI premiums and Interest going back six years.

 

I provided Opus with statements going back to when the account was opened and

 

they claim that they have "recalculated" the figures and increased their offer by approximately £300.

 

According to the calculation sheets that I have used, I calculate that they owe me nearly double the amount of the figures that they have provided.

 

I have written to them 3 times asking for a breakdown of their calculation but they won't provide this to me.

 

I keep being told to write in and requesting what I have already requested before.

 

Unfortunately, Opus "Customer Services" won't put me directly through to the PPI Department.

 

I am now having a breakdown of my own and need some advice/help please.

 

Would someone be able to check the calculation sheet for me please?

 

 

I am now not even sure I am using the right calculation sheet.

well what I meant was from this site...

 

that's looks ok.

 

when did the card close

 

and is that 'their' interest rate you are using

 

that sheet you have there is for restitution interest up until the day

the claim is settled , typically through court.

 

if the card interest stopped being charged

 

that's the day your claim [ideally] should end

unless you are going through the court route.

 

you are entitled to 8% statint on the total from that sheet

from the day int stopped

till the day they settle

 

could this be the diff?

 

I think you might need to play with your spreadsheet.

 

when did interest stop, or the card close?

what int rate were THEY charging?
