    • 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.

Woolwich - Am Likely to Be Unable to Pay Capital Off After Mortgage Term Ends

Hi

 

Advice please.

 

I'm likely to be unable to pay off the capital amount owing on a mortgage with Woolwich in 3 years time. I've informed Woolwich of this and all they say is try and pay off as much as you can and then you'll be able to extend the mortgage with them when the term ends. I've got a great tracker deal at the moment which is interest only. Woolwich have calculated that any new repayment mortgage with them will be approximately £500 to £600 per month which I won't be able to afford.

 

I got made redundant 5 years ago and have struggled to find full time well paid work since. I now work part time and am trying to pay off as much as I can. I 'm 62 this year and I have got a small private pension which was given to me as part of my redundancy package. My mortgage ends when I'm 65 and I don't really want to be paying a mortgage after then. My endowments didn't pay out as much as expected and I did get some compensation which I paid off some of the capital owing.

 

I know that I can downsize my house and pay off the mortgage but I don't really want to do this just yet.

 

Can anyone suggest any alternative options.

 

Many thanks for any help given.

 

Best Regards

You didn't use it all to reduce the capital ?

 

How much short is remaining ?

The maximum they will extend is 7 years which would need to be a Interest and Capital arrangement...is that the period they have quoted you ?

 

Anything substantial in your pension pot ...draw down ?

Is equity release the way to go?

 

If you are in good health with a long life expectancy, and/or you wish to leave a sizable inheritance, equity release is a poor choice. Get some qualified advice from an IFA before going down that route.

 

Another option that you should stay well away from is any Sale and Rent Back agreements. The FCA state that they are high risk and should only be considered as a last resort.

No... you can't eat my brain just yet. I need it a little while longer.

Hi Andy and Mr P

 

Thanks for your replies.

 

I used my pension pot to pay some of the capital off and keep the rest as savings. I could use these but I would not have any savings left.

 

Woolwich quoted me for 5 years extension not 7 years. I'm prepared to work until I'm 70 if I have to. I get my state pension at 66. I'm also married but my wife (51 years) is likely to be made redundant in November this year so we will miss her earnings. She will obviously try and get another job.

 

I don't really want to go down the equity release road as I've heard it's not a good idea and I haven't heard about sale and rent back agreements.

 

Cheers

 

BM

Go back to them and ask they reconsider a longer term and what is the maximum term possible.

 

 

£30K over 7 years

 

Per month, you repay assuming your interest rate stays the same 3%

£396

 

Total you'll repay over full term

(Includes mortgage debt, £30,000 + total interest £3,296)

£33,296
