    • thought your story rang a bell. https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/416315-knightsbridgecreditfix-iva-treated-me-very-badly-thinking-of-bk-now-help/ you vanished and never cameback. dx  
    • and it legally informs them of your correct and current address as you must do with all old debts last paid/used in say 7 yrs you dont want backdoor CCJ's. what were the names of these IVA scammers, the one you took it out with, and the one that scammed you to let them take over please? your story is slightly worrying. dx  
    • Incidentally, congratulations on not buying the warranty. That is another Big Motoring World rip-off. See what we have to say about extended warranties and the Big Motoring World attitude to them is particularly unhelpful
    • well that google is from 2019, but the photos are certainly of someone driving on the public highway in/out by an ANP system, though the site of where the camera actually is, is not showing there are anpr cameras up by the low yellow barriers but they wont get from facing shots from there. interesting, needs to be checked if the road IS a public highway but on private land, cause as you say, if the whole area is max 4hrs , how does the hotel work< ?? must have a reg entry system.  now as for taking pictures of cars on a public highway then guessing the are parking ...erm.... i dont thnk thats right nor allowed under GDPR. dx  
    • Under the consumer rights act 2015, if a defect manifests itself within 30 days and you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund. If any defect manifests itself within the first six months of ownership then you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund subject to the retailers right to carry out a repair. If the retailer declines to repair or if the repair fails then you have the right to return. The problem here is that you have to assert their right. It's a bit ridiculous – but you have to do let them know preferably in writing that you are asserting your rights under the consumer rights act either the 30 day right or the six month right. I suppose that you haven't done this – which would be quite understandable because most people don't know that these rights exist and that they are subject to these conditions – the condition that the right must be inserted. It is frankly ridiculous. The dealers know it and we have lots of instances of this company delaying appointments et cetera and our strong suspicion is that they are simply trying to run their customers out of time. On the basis that you haven't asserted your rights, we now have to look to ordinary contract law. You are entitled to purchase a vehicle which is of satisfactory condition and which remains that way for a reasonable period of time. Clearly it is in satisfactory. They are blaming you. Has your independent inspection identified the reason for the defect? This will be important because as you have seen BMW are already saying it is down to your driving and you are going to have to produce evidence that it wasn't down to your driving and the you drove it absolutely reasonably and it was simply the condition of the car. Have you been without the car for any period of time. Is it driveable now? If the car was off the road for a substantial amount of time and was still off the road then you would be able to argue that this is a fundamental breach of contract and that you have been deprived of substantially the whole benefit of the contract and therefore you will be entitled to treat the contract as breached by Big Motoring World and insist on cancelling the contract. It may be that you will eventually be obliged to keep the car but have the repairs paid for. Have you had any quotations for the work that needs doing? I asked you questions about the MOT – but you haven't responded.

    • 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

 

I have gone into both mine and my husbands accounts up to 2000 and can print all my bank statements off online - shame I ran out of ink though!!

 

Aren't these good enough to send?

 

They are good enough for the Inland Revenue.

hi caroline, you can only claim back the interest that resulted from the charges, the spreadsheet works it out for you.

Hi

 

I have printed off all statements and done a handwritten breakdown - I am terrible with the spreadsheets - and I have also written the letter needed.

 

Can I send the letter telling them the amount WITHOUT the breakdown or do I send that too?

 

And I am a little concerned - we have 6 bank accounts with the HSBC... 4 of which are business accounts - plus our mortgage/life insurance and pretty much everything else... should I be doing this? I know it is only OUR money but I think this is gonna rock the boat big time!!

Hello

 

Send the breakdown too, you will be asked for it at some point in any case.

 

It may rock the boat and only you know if you want to do this, but it is your money and you are entitled to it back. Mortgage and life insurance will be under separate contracts so should not be affected, however any overdrafts and/or business loans may be affected if HSBC decided to get petty, but this is unlikely in my experience.

Right!

 

Have sent off LBA and a copy of the spreadsheet requesting £1658 back - sent it recorded to Canada Square.. this is for one business

 

.. am sick though! I put 2005 instead of 2006 on this years accounts... DOH!!

 

Do u reckon they will dispute this??

 

Have photocopied the letters though!

I doubt it will be a problem. They are likely to either not respond to your LBA, respond with a standard 'go away, our charges are fair' response or make you an offer.

If it's either of the first two, have your spreadsheet corrected for the next stage. If it's the third option, if the offers acceptable no problem, if it's not then get your spreadsheet correct for the next stage.

If you have your statements, you don't need to send a Data Protection Act S.A.R - (Subject Access Request). MI cofirmation is not critical.

 

Thanks!

 

I have my online statements and have sent two claims in today - one for my personal account and one for my husbands business account. I have two more accounts with HSBC that I am going to claim for but that will be in the next few days now... all the data entry is making my eyes water :rolleyes:

Some people are getting their money quicker than others - I wonder, does it matter how long you have banked with them... how you have handled your account and whether you have savings with them or other accounts?

 

Do these factors influence their decisions, do you think?

no you don't need to order them they are available to view online. log in, go to your account and click on my statements. it brings up a list of the current year in month order, and at the bottom there is an arrow to click on for the next earlier set and so on.

Thanks for the info cadencealex:) .

 

I will print out my statements but I've decided to also send an S.A.R. to HSBC as well. That may sound a bit daft but for me the main reasons are:

 

It's a sort of 'belt and braces' approach, covering every angle.

 

I'm keen to follow the procedure to get back these charges to the letter, I don't want to find that I've made an accounting or clerical mistake along the way.

 

And lastly by requesting the statements I'll have given myself a bit more time to study the law and the procedure to work out and make my claim.

 

Plus, by the time I've used all that paper and ink in my printer- I'll probably have spent the £10 I'd have sent to the HSBC anyway!

 

 

Thanks once again, and good luck with your claim.

Online statements are good if a) you have access to online banking facilities and b) if you only want to get the figures for calculation.

 

Making a S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) under the Data Protection Act entitles you to so much more information, such as notes and evidence of manual intervention.

 

That aside, in the main the banks realise what is happening, and generally they are refunding the £10, and providing the requested information as 'a gesture of goodwill.'
