    • 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.

after that i think i`m just going to forget about the first 2 years and just stick with the last 4 for which i can cross reference against the online statements. coz to be honest i aint a clue what i am looking at here

 

knobby1, I hope you don't get discouraged from claiming back what is rightfully yours. If you do, their abbreviations will have worked in their favour - is that really what you are prepared to accept?

 

My DPA reply has not arrived yet but I'm sure I'll need a translator when it does! Good luck getting a reply Loula.

on my customer notes the first page says letter "standard letter automatically generated first class central" then after a few notes of manual intervention all the subsiquent notes say "standard letter first class central" my question is does any one elses say this? or have they realised that the "automatically generated" is detrimantal to them so have ommitted it?

Not sure whether this is of any use but as a Lloyds customer signed up for internet banking I was able to check my statements back online to July 2002. They have a search facility which means you can search statements up to 3 months at a time specifically for charges (including penalty and interest charges). I was able to do this yesterday afternoon having watched Trevor McDonald programme the previous evening. I posted my request for a refund yesterday covering a 4 year period (in excess of £2,500 for charges mainly incurred as a result of Lloyds taking the previous months charges!). On this basis I did not have to request the information from the bank for this period as it was already available to me.

 

Hope this helps.

I would like to agree with sagaloo - it is easy to search back with the internet facility. I did this yesterday in half an hour for free!

 

Questions though please: Now what. Letters with list of charges to local and head offices with proofs of postage.

 

Then wait I suppose?

 

Anyone got experience of what happens next?

 

Cheers

I had a loan running with Lloyds for 5 years no problems. Suddenly started getting £25.00 charges every month as "there is no direct debit on this account and we are having to take it manually" When I queries whose authority did they have to take the money if there was no direct debit, I was told "we don't need your authority". So what is the point of the direct debit and why were they charging me £25 a month?!!!!! When I complained in person, I was told they would refund the charges and it looked like that's what they did when I was there. Lo and behold the next month's statement had the charges back on it. AAAAhhhhh!!!! I have now sent my Data Protection letter as they completely did my head in financially as well as psychologically.

Lloyds did include a guide to abbreviations when they responded to my DPA request. They were professional through and through, that is if by professional you mean a third generation xerox copy of a page typed in Comic Sans font!

On an unrelated note, as I've posted on my own thread, Lloyds gave me their new standard £750 gesture of goodwill offer. I responded with a rejection letter including an extra £1000 of previously undisclosed charges and an extension to their timeframe by 14 days, "as a gesture of goodwill."
