    • 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.

Hello, yesterday Barclays Bank put my account under review suddenly just i received a message about that to wait 7 days .

 

I ve been to local branch and they didn't tell me any information saying to me to wait 14 days .

The problem is I think they will take longer than they said and I can't wait so much cause I need the money for my own company and to live life daily.

 

This situation its caused me a sever anxiety, I dont know what to do .

I can prove that I m a self employed .

 

Can somebody tell me what should I do ? 

Some contact numbers or email addresses where can I text about this problem?

I m new on this platform and I dont know how to manage this .

Thank you

Send them on SAR immediately. Do it today.

Read up on this forum and elsewhere on the Internet about crifas.

How long have you had the account? Have you been having large sums of money going in or out recently – especially paid in cash?

This kind of unexplained behaviour generally relates to something that triggers a suspicion that your account is being used for money laundering or some other kind of fraud. If that's what has happened then you will find it almost impossible to get information about it and also almost impossible to find out when your account might be made available to you.

If a CIFAS marker has been applied to your account, the bank takes upon itself absently Draconian powers and you will scarcely even get any assistance from the FOS who quite frankly are simply a poodle to the financial services sector

What do I need to send on SAR? Do you have an email from them ? 

 

I have 1 year with them . 

I ve been made some international transactions because I ve been buy a car and a house I was need to send monthly money .

I m a self employed, so I earn my money by myself . I didnt do nothing wrong with them . When I open my account I let them know that I m self employed and I can prove that .

 

I m in a desperate situation as I m not having any money for my company that I just open to can run

None of what you are saying is at all surprising – but as I've already said, when it comes to CIFAS, the banks are a law unto themselves. It's very unfair and it should be more closely regulated but it's not.

You should open a another account – a parachute account immediately. You may find that if there is already a CIFAS marker against you that you will have difficulty doing this but try an online account but you need to do urgently and start putting money into their.

Send the SAR. You can find their email address or their postal address online – but do it. Don't hang around

Smells of AMLL to me. Keep an eye on comms from the bank.

Hi Lutz and welcome to CAG

 

We have seen many similar cases over the last 10+ years. You will hear nothing useful from the bank for at least a few weeks.

 

You will have triggered 1 or more markers that start the bank blocking and investigating the account - it could be large sums of cash, money from abroad, or other events.

 

Get the SAR sent off immediately. I would send it to :- Barclays Bank PLC, 1 Churchill Place, London E14 5HP

 

Send it by email if you can find an email address to use that's appropriate.

 

Then, as BankFodder has already said, work quickly to open a new account - this should be your immediate priority because Barclays will tell you nothing useful in the next few weeks.

 

If you have bought a property recently, I assume you were able to satisfy the solicitor with regard to passing Anti Money Laundering checks. However, this will not help  you get access to your money with Barclays.

We could do with some help from you

Hi Lutz,

 

Go ahead with the new account.

 

As I said already, the bank will probably do and say nothing to help you for the next few weeks so make whatever other arrangements you can.
