    • 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.

Hi everyone,

 

Great to hear the success stories on this site of people being able to get their mis-sold PPI back. Hope I can do the same!

 

I have just put in a phone call with HSBC/HFC for a loan that I settled in January 2008 (so just within the six-year point after which my information will be deleted). They said they would send out an acknowledgement letter within five days along with a questionnaire which I needed to fill out and send back.

 

I don't have any of these statements or the loan agreement any more, I chucked them a few years ago, so it's vital that I put the complaint in before my records were deleted. However, as they take 8 weeks to investigate the complaint and make a decision, this 8-week deadline is obviously after the date on which they can delete/shred my records so I am concerned that this will be done before the complaint will be processed!

 

Can anyone advise on this? Now that I've lodged the complaint are they obliged to keep my records open until it is resolved?

 

Thanks in advance :)

Hi Lee - the Banks are obliged to keep the information for a minimum of 6 years after an account is closed. There is little evidence then any of them are so efficient that they will be shredding your details on the 6th anniversary. I certainly think they will be on extremely dodgy ground with the regulator if they shred anything connected to an ongoing complaint.

 

When you get the acknowledgement and questionnaire ensure that this is the standard Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) Questionnaire and not one that they have assembled themselves with an inherent bias that you weren't mi-sold.

 

I would always recommend that you complete the FOS form downloaded from the FOS site and copy across any reference on the HFC/ HSBC form. I would also ensure you keep a copy. If HFC question you on this, explain that the FOS form is the standard one for PPI claims and it will avoid you filling in an extra form if you have to take the case to FOS

Hi Andy,Thank you for your reply. I've sent the questionnaire back today - it's the FOS one for sure and I've got a copy. Have sent it as Signed For First Class to so I'm sure they're going to get it.I'm going to call them in early January to ensure they've received the questionnaire and it is being processed, do you think this is a good idea?Again, thanks for your help.Lee

Hi,

if you've sent it signed for you will be able to check that it has been received with Royal Mail. HFC have a duty to respond to the complaint within 8 weeks of your initial complaint to them. You have received an acknowledgement so my own view is that there is no benefit in chasing this until 8 weeks have passed since your initial call.

Success! Had a letter from HSBC today upholding my complaint. £3,300 - which includes PPI from the Personal Loan Plus account I had open before I took out that loan to pay it off. Safe to say Saturday was a grand day! I sent the 28-day payment written confirmation back today so hopefully that goes into my account sooner rather than later. Thanks for your help guys, and good luck to those still locked in battle to get their taken money back!

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

To be fair, no I didn't, but judging from how much the loan was and how long it took to pay off I'm quite sure the amount offered was near the mark.

 

I'm going to SAR Barclaycard though, I definitely had some PPI on a card years ago.
