    • 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.

Yesterday I posted CCA & sar requests, I sent them signed for which tells me they haven't been delivered yet, but does show I posted them yesterday.

 

Today I have recieved an email from Amex asking me to contact them to discuss a settlement offer / repayment plan.

 

How should I respond to this email?

 

I got a letter in reply to my formal complaint a couple of weeks ago, in that letter they said the account had been passed to FirstSourceLLP, I have had no contact from them.

 

Today's email appears to have come direct from American Express.

I sent the CCA request and SAR to Amex and they were both signed for on the 12th April.

 

Today I get a letter saying they can't supply the SAR as they are unable to establish the identity of the requester. They are asking for a copy of my passport and a utility bill.

 

Should I send the documents?

They happily send bills and letters to me,

also why has it taken them so long to ask for these details?

 

In terms of the CCA, I think their time is up tomorrow, 4th May, should I be chasing it up?

Yes I have moved,

 

today I get the reply to the CCA request (with my £1.00 returned, I dont know if that is significant) ,

 

there is probably 50+ pages mainly changes to t&c's

but I have scanned in what I believe is the relevant pages.

 

At the top of the first page there is a reference number that I have written on,

I am assuming I will have been given the reference number and told to write it on but cant remember it is over 10 years ago.

 

Does this appear to be enforceable?

In terms of the SAR, should I send the info they have asked for

pop the stuff up into ONE MULTIPAGE PDF please

follow the upload

 

 

as for the SAR

if you go read the clickme link where you got the sar from

it clearly says if you have moved

you need to include a copy of your most recent ctax bill and why.

Ok the CCA should be attached in PDF format, any advice / thoughts would be great.

 

I think the quoted APR is incorrect as I am sure it was 6.9%

the document is from 2006,

the ref number that I have blanked out on the top is in my handwritting so I assume I must have been given the number to write on at some stage.

 

I will send a copy of my passport and a utility bill to get the sar completed that I guess will give me all of the statements and therefore the interest rate.

 

Thanks

I signed the doc on the 31/01/06

 

As well as what I have scanned in I have a document titled 'Credit card Agreement Regulated by th consumer credit act 1974'

 

At the top it has issuer which is filled in next to that it has 'debtor' and 'the cardmember' both are blank and there are no dates. That is a 13 page document.

 

They have also sent a document titled 'your insurance documentation' That's an 18 page document, again no dates.

 

I have a letter dated May 2006 which references changed to T&C's and a notice of variation in accordance with the consumer credit act 1974.

 

I have a number of those changes if T&C's. I can scan this all in if it would help, it all looks very generic.

any additional T&C's at as they say important changes

must have your name and address and theirs in the top sentence of each copy.

 

 

gotta admit somethings not sitting right here

as theres noway a big creditor like amex would give a 50% discount

 

 

now on the agreement

I cant see PPI ticked

but you say theres a PPI documentation, I wonder if that's the discount?

i believe the insurance was to do with cared holder benefits i don think i had any ppi but will check when i get the sar.

 

i have scanned in the next document, you will see there are none of my details on here, i haven't blanked anything out.

 

this is the second part of the second document.

 

Everything else is just periodic changes to T&C's, i can scan those as well if they would help?

don't worry about the T&C's if they've not got YOUR name on them

Shame about the CCA, I was hoping as it lacked a signature from there side it maybe unenforceable, I only have recent statements, im sending the ID for the sar today. When I get the SAR what should I be looking for?

use copy of CTAX bill too as the sar told you in the first place..................

 

their lack of sig does help you no...

 

obv when you get the statements

I bet theres £1000's gone out to PPI [or whatever they call it ] every month in dribs and drabs that you never signed up too.?

I have the SAR,

I've gone through my statements and as I thought there is no PPI,

there is about £50 of late payment fees from just before I put the account into a DMP.

The vast majority of the debits are the interest charges as you would expect.

 

Apparently the account is with FirstSourceLLP but they have never contacted me, not really sure what to do.

Amex have not registered a default and the account does not show on my credit file

but I really don't want it being added back on and adding a default.

 

Should I go back to Amex or FirstSourceLLP and see if they will still go with the 50% settlement offer which is about 4K which they had said they would accept over 2 years.

 

 

I'm tempted to offer the 2k paid by the end of the June which I could just scrape together.

look at the sar comms/account log
