    • 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.

Sent off SAR on Saturday - awaiting results with interest.

 

]I took out a loan with Living Design Double Glazing more than 10 years ago. I worked out this year that I'd paid £12k for a £4k loan, and had never received a statement. For some reason it was split into two loans.

 

I moved house four years ago and wrote to everyone I had to - including the loan company which I think was First National Bank, but still never heard from them. I called them earlier this year to find out when loan would be paid, it came out then they still had me under old address, so gave the girl my new one, and I was told there were two payments and five payments left outstanding. this is when I found it out it was now GE money.

 

One payment stopped around July, which I never questioned. In December I'm still paying the other one. So called again today to find two payments left on one loan, and arrears on the other. The girl told me that they had never been notified of change of address, which is why I hadn't been told of arrears. The girl suggested that the reason I'm still paying is to cover bank charges incurred from missed direct debits. she then went into a long winded story about how if I had given them new address details then they would be on my file blah blah blah. Today is the third time they've had my new address! [/color]

Happy new year everyone!

 

Well had a call today from GE Money to say they don't recognise the account numbers in the SAR I sent. It was the GE Money call centre who gave me the account numbers as I have not had a statement or any communications from them for years! Anyway - upshot is that he is sending my SAR letter off to another part of GE Money.

 

Got a feeling this is going to be a really difficult one to keep tabs on. Surely GE Money is GE money and any internal issues they have with integration or communication should not be used to disadvantage customers? I'm presuming I can still hold them to the 40 days as per the SAR template?

 

I'm just about to have my nationwide account closed (due to successful bank charges claim:D ) so don't know whether to pay off outstanding debt or just wait and see what happens....

Got a huge pile of paperwork from GE Money today and spent the last hour trying to make sense of it. I called the customer service number (which I had to surf for, does not appear on the documentation.

 

However, what it does look like is that they have written off the remainder of the debt. Both accounts show balance as 0, with £350 minused from one, and 6.90 from the other.

 

I'll call them tomorrow. Hope it's not that they have sent them on to collection agencies!

 

So I'll hold off celebrating until I get confirmation....

 

Fingers crossed

You should have been notified if any o/s debt was transferred - do they have the correct address for you?

Confirmed this morning that both accounts have been fully settled.

 

Good point, Chorlton. They still have me at the address I was at 4.5 years ago despite three notifications of changes! (the statements showed two addresses)

 

So counting that as a win, don't think the charges from the past 6 years would have come to that amount.

 

So subdued yippee, as I feel totally stupid being talked into taking out such a crap loan, paying interest at 22% all these years.

 

Older and wiser Cazzie!
