    • 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.

Ok, will do that at lunchtime.

 

I was looking at the letter they sent and they refered to a phone call I made in 2016 regarding the charges and buildings insurance.

 

They've basically said that as they responded to this in 2016 I can now no longer take this to the FOS as it's now more than six months 😧

Hi

 

Here is the recent letter and the one referred to in 2016.

 

I did a SAR to the company who were insuring the building at the time Together added their own and when I sent the claim I included a document that showed I had my own buildings insurance in place.

 

In both letters they say they wrote to me asking for proof of buildings insurance, but then go on to say that they don't have any letters regarding buildings insurance on record.

 

They did write to me in 2008 and I sent the buildings insurance back to them as I remember they were going to charge a stupid amount if I didn't, I would have done the same if they have sent letters in October and November 2006.

 

Also documents I received from the SAR (to Together) didn't include anything to show they have taken out an insurance policy or if they did who it was with, should they have sent this?

 

Thanks.

then they are talking rubbish

when was your building insurance that you showed them at the time of takeout renewals date?

I will assume they must have recorded or copied it? and the agreement or accounts log has record they saw it then?

They didn't ask for insurance in 2007 and just applied their own.

The SAR didn't contain any letters or the insurance policy they took out from this time , very convenient 🤐

 

What's the next step forward?

just type no need to hit quote..

 

urm...the original demands and needs sheet must show they checked you didn't have buildings ins before automatically applying theirs.

 

imho almost invalidates the whole agreement.

This is the only thing in the SAR that refers to buildings insurance, I guess you'd call it an account activity log, is this what you meant by the original demands and needs sheet?

 

I didn't receive any of these letters, but can't see there's any way to prove that.

Thanks for re-opening this.

 

The current situation is I got the PPI refunded, but not the charges or the insurance.

 

I sent a SAR in April this year, to see if there was anything new on the account, the SAR specifically mentioned only items since the last SAR.

They phoned asking what the SAR was for, I said for any new information on the charges and information.

 

They didn't send anything within the one month timescale, so I reported them to the ICO.

 

Then out of the blue I got a letter saying they had reviewed my account and they were refunding me some interest applied to my account due to then "failing to keep you informed of the balance that is off schedule accruing on your account".

I think this means the monthly interest they've been adding to the balance each month since the my payments stopped.

 

I've calculated the total of charges and compounded interest using the spreadsheet in the library and I'm going to send this with a letter asking for the charges to be refunded.

 

Should the letter make any reference to the interest they've recently refunded?

 

If they ignore my request or say the charges are legal, then is my step to issue a letter before action and then take it to the small claims court?

 

Thanks.

Hi

 

Thanks for the re-open.

 

I finally got round to sending a letter claiming the charges back (which I might have sent before!).

This is their reply.

 

Quote

Thank you for your recent query in relation to the above account within your letter dated 9th December
2021.
You have raised your concerns about the charges applied to your account and that you feel these are
unlawful and unfair under the Unfair Terms and Consumer Contracts Regulations (UTCCR).
We have replied to these concerns which were raised as a complaint and responded to in our response
letter dated 25th March 2019. We were unable to uphold your complaint and our position would remain
unchanged as we were unable to agree that the charges are unlawful or unfair under UTCCR. If you
were unhappy with our response, you had the right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman
Service (FOS), free of charge, but you must do so within 6 months of the complaint response. This can
still be raised to the FOS but if this is outside the 6 month time frame the FOS may be unable to
investigate.
We're always happy to help so if you have any questions about the information provided above please
contact our Customer Operations team on the number provided, we're here 9am - 5.30pm Monday to
Friday.

 

Do I need to refer this to the FOS or do I go straight to a Letter Before Action?

 

Is there a board or thread on here that details what the Small Claims process is?

 

Thanks.

Then simply ignore them if the outstanding balance is all their bogus stuff.

Let Them take you to court where everything will be exposed free to you to a judge.

I stopped paying in (I think) 2017 and they've never threatened to take me to court in all that time.

They still have a charge registered against my house, maybe they're playing the long game and hoping I sell so they can make a claim then.

 

Is it now too late to take them to court?
