    • I believe it is helpful to seek guidance from a range of places and decide on the validity of the sources and frequency of responses which are most helpful. A single voice can be a dangerous thing. As, of course, can groupthink. Scott, it feels like £4k on a solicitor for a £1.5k bill is overkill. Were we back in time I'd suggest small claims court as your claim sounds like it may be straightforward? By all means add that phrase on. I also suggest you contact the court and go and sit in on a couple of similar cases to get a better understanding before you shell out.

    • 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.

Corrections, I am going to move the last few posts to your main thread.

 

Remember, ROP is not PPI and if you recall, the charges claim and ROP are two different claims.

 

I'll respond more fully when I have moved these posts.

So, ROP is not PPI although you can reclaim it of mis-sold. If you are planning to get fos involved with this then you are going down the regulatory route and they will have 8 weeks to investigate before you can get fos involved.

 

For the charges, fos will not be interested. Accordingly the route you should be considering is the court route which is the way nearly everyone who wants to claim their charges back has to go. For this you set the timescales, not them.

 

dx gave you the preliminary letter for charges above which I assume you sent off. If they do not reply within the 14 days then you send them a 7 day lba and if they still don't cough up then you sue them.

The lba will be for the charges and not the ROP.

 

It is basically the same as the prelim with the figures updated to reflect an updated spreadsheet with the "claim to" date set to today. The changes to the text will be that you head it "Letter Before Action" and put a final paragraph to the effect that if they do not pay within 7 days you will issue in court without further recourse to them.

 

As always, only threaten court of you intend to go through with it and are prepared to argue your case before a judge.

ok thank you ims21

 

Obviously im apprehensive about going to court. But if it means getting my charges back I certainly will. They still have 6 days to respond until my 14 days are up. Guess Ill just wait. Cant see me getting a response though

Nope...they will not refund the charges without a fight. I hope I'm wrong though.

 

If you do end up issuing, they may cave in before court but you should certainly work on the basis that you will have to appear in front of a judge.

 

Have you done your reading around the forums to see how others have got on with the various banks? If not you might like to do so as there is wealth of information here on how to go about it, how to prepare etc. etc.

 

Have a look at the success threads to give you a boost.

Hi all (again)

 

I had a letter today from Vanquis with regard to my PPI/ROP claim.

 

Personally I cant make head nor tail of their reply.

 

Ive had the account since 2009. And, after stopping payments it was sent to Lewis Group DCA.

 

I calculated that I have paid £308.43 in ROP and £204.07 in interest with a total of £512.50.

 

I sent the template letter dx gave me and this was their reply:

 

OPT OUT OF REPAYMENT OPTION PLAN

 

We confirm that your request to opt out of the plan has been actioned.

 

No plan charges will be made to your account.

 

If you opt out of the plan within 30 days after receiving the information on the plan, any charges that you have paid so far will be refunded to your account.

 

I dont have an account with them, because it has been closed and passed to Lewis DCA.

 

And I have not asked to opt out, I have told them I was mis sold the plan and want my money back?

 

Can anyone help with this one?

 

Thanks

Ive had numerous threatograms from lewis. But ive put the claims direct to vanquis and also informing lewis that account is in dispute.

 

Could be Lewis has passed the account back to Vanquis, so I would write to VANQUIS and ask what this is all about having not made such an application.

I wrote to vanquis with the ppi claim. i had a reply from vanquis a few days ago saying they have 56 days for the investigation. Then i received this from vanquis today. I dont understand it?

 

I agree it does seem odd.

#41 on this post is the letter (PPI one) I wrote. It does not answer my letter in anyway shape or form. It basically says I have opted out, which I did not ask. Any idea on what my next move should be? because Im totally lost now.

 

Thanks

I would suggest that this is a side event of your reclaim.

 

obv you don't want it anymore.....

 

await the result of the reclaim

 

your cra file will tell you who own the debt.

Hi guys

 

Sorry i dont mean to sound stupid but ive never done anything like this. So what that is, is a generic letter saying ive opted out. And I should now wait upto 56 days for an answer on my claim. If i do not then take action from there?
