    • 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.

Hi Everyone

 

Fantastic forum, lots of helpful people and great info

 

I am doing this on behalf of my mum who the bank have fleeced over the years, and I want the old dear to have the cash back.

I already have the statements for the past 6 years and after a quick run through the sums are around 2.3k, however I am unsure of which charges to actually include. I have had a good mooch round the forum and still not 100%, so if someone could give a little helping hand that would be great.

 

In the statements the names of the charges are as follows

 

Unauth O/D Fee

Debit Under Advice

Unpaid Loan Charge

Unpaid Chq Chg

Unpaid DD Charge

Charges

Debit Interest

 

I am a little stumped on if I claim on the ones labeled "charges" and "debit interest" In the step by step it doesnt really make reference to those two but, from reading the threads and mention of JMio's and reading that I gather I do include those two charges. Am I right in thinking this?

 

Any input greatly appreciated

Hi Mick, welcome to the site :D

 

You don't include Debit Under Advice in your schedule [thats' normally if you've authorised a cheque or whatever to go thru - i.e if you cancel your cheques/cards due to theft/loss/whatever, but have a transaction outstanding - the bank usually call/write to ask if you still want it to go thru.

 

Debit Interest is a bit tricky - you can only claim the part of the debit interest which relates to the actual charges, and not your overdraft in general. This can be really difficult to calculate, and it's not always worth bothering with, depending on the amounts.

 

Everything else on your list is fair game - go for it! Just don't expect it to be easy with Yorkshire, as you'll see if you've read any of the other threads in this forum!

 

Best of luck, and just give a yell here in your thread if you've any questions.

Sorry to contradict you PJ hun, but I had some debits under advice that I'm claiming for. They let some payments through which I don't think had anything to do with cheques, and I'm sure I didn't lose or have anything stolen, so I have claimed them. Also, I have now had YB's own version of what they charged me and they have included them.

 

The proportion of the debit interest relating to unlawful charges can be calculated using the site spreadsheets. Fill in the amount and the calculation is done for you. It depends on the size of your claim if you think it worth bothering with. Also when you complete your court claim and add on the 8% statutory interest, you can claim interest on the interest you are claiming, and if it goes back a long way that's worth having too.

 

A lot of people seem to be settling lately without accepting interest to avoid a long drawn out delay in getting their money, so YB are still making money out of people by being difficult. I understand why people accept it, but it's just typical YB intimidation and it makes my blood boil that they're getting away with it.

 

I'm holding out for my interest, consoled by the fact that every day payment is delayed, YB will have to pay me a bit more money back when the time comes.

thanks caro and jules for explaining things for me :)

 

Using the spreadsheets the interest comes in at £476 and I dont really see a conclusion before xmas so holding out for the full amount seems the way forward, there is no hurry :)

Quite right Mick. It's money you probably thought you'd never see again anyway and I think people should hold out for as long as it takes to get full settlement. If not we are still allowing the banks to keep control and I believe we should make sure everyone gets their full entitlement, or the banks will continue to manipulate us.

I think it's YB's latest tactic, they know they can't win so they try to limit the damage by making it relatively easy to get paid out with no interest etc but difficult and daunting to get the full amount and it must be saving them a fortune and at the end of the day they've still had a free loan, and while it's working they will keep it up.:mad:

Just a little update on this and a little question too :)

 

I have now recieved my allocation questionnaire and ready to take it from there but, I have a little question that's been niggling me since I started the money claim online and think I may have made a mistake.

How important is only going back 6 years on your claim? My claim is within a 6 year period, ie first and last charge claimed but the start date of the mcol is over the 6 years. The first charge claimed is dated 30/11/00 and I started the claim online in January 07, is this important and have I made a mistake?

You must have sent your prelim letter and L.B.A etc in Nov/Dec 2006 so that would take you back to Nov 2000 :p You are right in claiming back to then so nothing to worry about. Good luck.

A little update and a couple of more questions, be a shame not to :)

 

Received yb's AQ today and also an offer from them "Without Prejudice save as to costs" for £1820 including Court costs, no cheque but a notice of discontinuance. Do I write back rejecting this offer or just let the court proceedings continue while ignoring the letter?

 

Also in saffyuks thread she mentions that her statements/schedule of charges weren't attached when she filed her claim, neither did I and I also did not include them with my AQ. Do I need to send a letter to my local court as Michael's reply to saffy with my schedule of charges?

 

Regards

Mick

It would be polite to reject the offer in writing, and I would send the bank and the court a copy of your schedule, with a covering letter.

A little update on this, and a little question :)

 

After not hearing anything for a while my case was switched from pontefract to leeds and then again to leeds mercantile on the 28th June, I gather this is a good thing or I hope so anyway. Am I right in thinking that I only need to send a cmi sheet at least 7 days before?

Mick

Check the documentation from the court and also the Mercantile sub-forum, but I would think that is right.
