    • 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 guys, pretty new to the forum so please move if in the wrong forum.

 

I have had previous success in reclaiming charges down the years but before all the hoo-ha with court cases.

However I had a hammering on my car finance with ford, done through FCE bank I believe back in the day with regards to late payment charges, over limit charges etc etc.

 

The account is since closed but was running from about 6 years ago up until 18 months ago.

Is there still any scope for me to reclaim these in this day and age?

 

As i'd obviously like to pursue some of my money back if its a possibility but don't want to chuck a tenner their way for a SAR if its not going to get me anywhere!

 

If this is the case id appreciate some guidance. Initially i think i will need to send a SAR as i have lost the majority of statements. Would this be sent to Ford Finance or FCE do you know?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi

Sorry you were missed.

 

Overdrafts are the one charge which would be difficult to reclaim. Other charges (loans, credit cards) are fair game. Even if there were no charges applied, it is still good practice to get copies of your account history which may show malpractice as well.

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Hi silverfox, its not overdraft charges - it was car finance bought through ford credit which i believe is represented by FCE bank according to paperwork. I was paying back around £150 a month over a few years and was hit with a number of £25 charges for late/missed payments. Is there a chance of claiming these back if i go through the process?

 

I'm in the process of going at it with old store cards now in another thread as I've done the banks ones in the past.

Similar to my other thread on Santander/RI Card charges, i have sent 2 letters to them stating i did not accept their final resolution and second time that i was willing to take an offer as a GOGW prior to taking my case to the FOS. They dismissed each of them and maintained theyre stance by directing me to the FOS.

 

Have i lost the battle with this one or can any one advise how to move forward? Thanks
