    • 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'm new to the site but I'm hoping that somebody has the insight and generosity to reply to my quandary:

 

I was recently contacted by a claims management company.

 

 

They think I am owed PPI reimbursement on a 60 month car loan agreement taken out with Lombard Direct in Nov. 2007

(the outstanding balance of which was paid off in April 2011).

 

I have no idea if this is true as I binned the documents after selling the car in 2011.

 

I would like to claim the PPI myself

but I'm finding it impossible to contact Lombard Direct on 0800 215 000

(the number provided by RBS and through separate means).

 

I have seen other CAG members state that RBS are now handling Lombard claims

- I contacted RBS but they can find no details of any loan agreement

(though they did say that this does not mean one never existed).

 

I do not want to return to the CMC or let this one lie as the loan was for over £12, 000!

 

Can anybody please suggest a course of action?

 

Thanks

 

Daniel

Thanks guys.

 

I contacted Lombard who said that my account would relate to Paragon (the rebirth of Lombard Direct, apparently). However, I cannot get through to speak to anybody and so have left a voicemail (to which I don't expect to get a reply).

 

I guess I could send a request for SAR even though I don't have any account details?!

 

I have just tried phoning RBS again and found a much more helpful guy who stated that the fault ofthe potential PPI mis-sale falls with the salesman at Vauxhall who sold me the car, not Lombard Direct. He suggests that I should contact the dealership but I can't see them being interested.

@BankFodder- Yes, they cold called me multiple times before I actually considered claiming. Usually I cut them off before they got as far as explaining the potential claim details. Funnily enough, each time somebody contacted me they used a different company name despite claiming to be from the same company.

Lombard Direct cases are dealt with by RBS - PPI Customer concerns team, Retail Products, 5th Floor, 1 Hardman Boulevard, Manchester, M3 3AQ

Tel : 0800 015 0319

Although Paragon deal with outsourced loan administration , RBS will deal with complaints regarding the initial sale.

Also if it was paid off in 2011 - get hold of your credit report which should still show the account and use the details on there as proof of the account. It should provide amount, start and end dates and payment history which should be sufficient for RBS to locate without an account number
