    • 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.

Having sorted out son in laws debts thanks to this site and taken control of the situation,

 

I am looking to reclaim any ppi he might have had on a series of loans he had when trying to support his parents

whilst his mother was terminally ill and his Dad a full time carer.

 

had a credit report and

 

as well as Welcome - a nightmare to deal with and currently on back burner

- came across The funding corporation and a loan from August 2004 til October 2008 - 50 months at £81

- looks like no defaults on it but suspect some form of ppi.

 

Read a few old threads on various sites which all seem to peter out very quickly due to not being regulated by FOS.

 

Guess starting point is a SAR to TFC as have no paperwork and see what turns up.

 

in meantime will trawl the web for any info/success stories.

 

sorry for typing - just out of hospital after op - only got wrong hand to type with

- will also start a thread for the lloyds loans he has/had when i can make some sense of the timeline.

A SAR is needed so you can look at the agreement and confirm if there was PPI, and how much. If you are dealing with this on his behalf you will need a signed letter of authority, you may already have found that out with Welcome.

Got all info from TFC - ppi of £700 on top of a loan for £2000 - work that out at 25% of monthly payment down to PPI. About to input into spreadsheet. Hope my % calculation correct!

 

Also has about a dozen unpaid DD fees of £25 - is it worth reclaiming these? - sure that the amount acceptable was reduced to £12, plus letter fees of £85, ranging from £15 to £30 per letter.

 

Have been off-line for a while - had surgery and off work for 6 months then really busy with work - but good to be back - off to look at the Llyods ppi now.

 

All advice gratefully received.

Loan was taken out in August 2004 - does this mean it was not regulated by FOS?

 

Hi,

 

To the best of my knowledge, the Ombudsman claim that they can't consider any complaint against a company because the ppi policy was sold before 14 January 2005, the date when all businesses selling insurance became regulated, only if the seller was a member of a precursor to the FSA, like the GISC

 

Although general insurance broking was not subject to the jurisdiction of FOS until 2005, if the firm subscribed to the General Insurance Standards Council's code of practice at the time it will do if the firm subsequently came under FOS jurisdiction and, since all consumer credit licence holders now are, I think it might.

Any advice I give is honest and in good faith.:)

TFC were members of The Association of British Insurers and signed up to the Code of Practice for the selling of General Insurance. Hopefully this allows the FOS to investigate. All the paperwork from TFC states that if unhappy could I may be able to complain to FOS - guess the "may" will stump me!!

 

Also requested they repay late payment fees of £25 on grounds the PPI contributed to financial hardship.

 

Form and letter off tomorrow.

Needs to be made as a totally separate claim - I did PPI first and then claimed charges, just in case there was anything that affected interest applied or the charges themselves. That could have meant duplication of an amount being claimed.

 

Say they said that a PPI amount was the cause of a default charge being applied, through going overlimit, then they should repay that as part of the PPI claim. In effect, you cannot determine the total amount of charges until they've cleared the PPI claim :-) IMHO obviously.

Letter rec'd - claim rejected. Will post up details when I get sight of the letter. Not surprised from what I have read about TFC. Will need some sound advice on how best to proceed but will not give up without a fight.
