    • 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.

Has anybody had any success with claiming from Santander/Genworth recently. I've been following this forum with interest for some time. My wife took out a Debenham's store card in 2001 that had an 'Account Cover' tick box on the application form that she was duped into ticking. Since March 2012 I've been pushed from pillar to post by Santander (previously GE Capital), the FLA, Genworth (otherwise known as Financial Insurance Company Ltd) and FOS.

 

The current situation is:

 

Santander say: 'you signed the application form with the tick on it' we didn't missell anything.

The FLA agreed with them

The FOS say: by rights, it's the underwriter (Genworth) that's liable

Genworth say: we didn't sell the policy .. it was Santander.

 

I seem to going round in circles. Has anybody had any success? If so, how did you get them to pay up ?

Thanks to all. I just wrote another letter to fos asking them to give me some kind of feedback. Reading the other thread it looks like some people have had recent success. Maybe if I 'prod' hard enough something will happen.

Got a reply from fos on 12th Feb. They say they now have enough to 'setup' my case.

1st March: got letter from Genworth saying they are contacting the seller of the policy (that'll be Santander) and they'll get back to me within 2 weeks.

Sounds more hopeful.

Hello Trampa, fingers crossed for you. Can I ask - How did you initiate things with Genworth? Did you write to FOS and they said try Genworth? Have gone through the Santander/FLA scenario too, without mention of underwriter or Genworth. Am looking for next stage:-)

Hi tedney, Yes, it was FOS that put me onto Genworth. I found that the FLA were a waste of space so I eventually went to FOS. Here's the timeline:

 

18th July 2012 Wrote to FOS complaining about Santander

9th Sep 2012 Sent a chasing letter to FOS requesting acknowledgement

17th Sep 2012 FOS wrote saying they had an unprecedented volume of cases but are working on it.

17th Oct 2012 FOS wrote saying that they couldn't pursue Santander but it might be possible to go after Genworth (the underwriter). FOS said that they had written to Genworth tyo complain.

24th Oct 2012 Genworth wrote saying they were not liable because they didn't sell the policy

16th Nov 2012 I raised a complaint against Genworth with the FOS

23rd Jan 2013 Wrote to FOS asking for a progress report

12th Feb 2013 FOS wroet saying they had enough to progress he case against Genworth

1st March 2013 Genworth wrote to say they are contacting Santander

 

The reason FOS couldn't go after Santander was because the PPI was taken out before 2005. Maybe your case is different.

I fought a couple of PPI cases using the FOS and I've found if you keep chasing them they will eventually respond and fight your corner.

Will update the thread as soon as I hear anything.

Result!

Just got a letter from Genworth offering £1400 compensation.

I'll look at the figures I have on what payments were made to the policy but it looks like I'll accept the offer.
