    • 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.

Evening....

 

Thought we'd best start a thread incase we get a bit stuck along the way. From reading this particular banks boards, I guess we're in it for the long haul.:p

 

SOA: Well, Lloyds have until next Wednesday to get GF's list of transactions to her. Been into branch, they couldn't help, so had to ring customer services. The person I needed was out of her office. Tried again today, she leaves quite early, so I'll try tomorrow before I finish work. I'm doing the ringing round on her behalf, as she doesn't really know where to start, I don't mind. :rolleyes:

 

That's all really, we''ll keep you updated. In the meantime, I've just filed at court for Halifax.

Well finally managed to get through to the person I needed to speak to, and she knew nothing!

:rolleyes:

 

Gave me a number, and they said they've been despatched as a parcel.:D

 

Will add it all up when it arrives, but not sending Prelim until after 2nd Jan, since there is a charge going out then.:o

Hi

You can claim back some, but not all. It's quite complicated to work out which parts are claimable, so personally I never bothered claiming it. If you look in the library there are some spreadsheets to work it out.

I WON!!!! :D :D :D

Update.........

 

No response from Lloyds, not to Prelim or L.B.A. Will be filing N1 at court on Monday.

 

As an addition, we've requested 3 times for a copy of her loan agreement, still waiting. Can I send an S.A.R. with her loan agreement number on to get this, or shall I just keep badgering them since they've said it's in the post?

 

Honestly, I never known anything like it. The telephone banking said they couldn't access it. Went to the branch (it's not her local branch, since she has moved towns) and was told they would fax 'whoever' to get a copy sent. It didn't arrive, called telephone banking again, they said 'we can send a copy'. This is despite perviously saying they couldn't. Yup, you guessed it, still waiting. All this, and stuck up customer services assistants (in-branch) with their 'hasn't she got a copy herself?', and that look they give you. So I gave a look right back and smiled and said 'if she did have I wouldn't be wasting my time here asking you, would I?'. Think that may have made her a little annoyed....

 

Grrrrrrr!

 

Rant over.

We received a letter today offering us our full charges back. However, we have already filed an N1, so there is the matter of the interest. The N1 was deemed served on the 10th and this letter was dated the 13th. I presume their paths have crossed.

 

I'm trying to ring but can't get through on any contact numbers, does anyone have another number I could try?

Hi

SC&M are the Solicitors dealing with most of Lloyds's claim.

So it's from the banks themselves? Was it the correct amount, less the Court fees and the interest?

Ok, no responses.

 

So I'm going to write a letter accepting the monies, since they have been paid into her account and will be promptly withdrawn tomorrow. I'm going to state that the acceptance is on the basis that I will persue the remainder, which is actually only interest in the county courts. They have said in their letter to me that that was their full and final response. Is this the best way to go or should I leave it until the 26th and simply request judgement, minus the monies paid?

 

Any response would be appreciated.

Hello,

 

I am fairly sure that somewhere in the thousands of threads that I have looked at more that one person has gone on to claim their interest after the charges were returned. I only wsh I could remember who they were:D

 

I would certainly be having a go.

 

Good Luck!! ( and well done for getting this far, I only have a court date:mad: )

As you have filed your N1 you are entitled to your statutory interest back. You should receive an acknowledgement of service around now and a defence and AQ in around 2 weeks.

 

You may want to send a letter as the link below:

Just how much are we talking about in interest?

The N1 was deemed served on the 10th, the bank have until the 26th to respond. They have paid £440.00 into OH's account. They have made no mention of the court case in their letter, as follows.

 

Dated 13th February 2007

 

Dear Miss XXXXXXX,

 

Thank you for getting in touch with us again. I am sorry you are still unhappy about your account charges.

 

We've explained that we believe it is fair to charge you for extra services you've requested, as long as you know about the charges in advance. When you didn't have enough in your account to cover a payment, we had to agree to make it by setting up or increasing your overdraft, or tell you we couldn't agree to it. We feel it's only fair to charge you for our service in considering and implementing thhis.

 

It's easy to keep a running check on how much is in your account. you can get an up-to-date balance at any of our cash machines, over the phone, on line and by weekly text to your mobile.

 

If you know a payment is going to take you over the limit we've agreed, you're welcome to see if we can raise it - and we can usually give you an answer straight away. Again we can do that for you y phone, on line or at any of our branches. There's no charge at all for this.

 

Generally we don't agree to adjust any of these charges, but I can tell you that on this occasion we are prepared to repay you £440.00. You may have read that we and the other banks are discussing overdraft charges with the Office of Fair Trading. Meanwhile we do consider each customer's position individually, and we are making you this offer because the amount you're asking for is less than the cost we might face in dealing with your complaint if you took it any further.

 

I need to let you know that this does not mean we consider we have any legal obligation to do so. This sum will be credited to your account in the next few days.

 

As I've explained, these charges are avoidable and we would strongly urge you to keep within the limit you've agreed with us or to ask us if we could increase it for you.

 

This letter is the banks full and final response, which means that if you remain dissatisfied you may refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service. If you decide to persue you complaint through the Financial Ombudsman Service you must do so within 6 months from the date of this letter. I have enclosed their leaflet that outlines how to contact them.

 

Yours sincerely

The interest is an extra £105.00 on top of the already refunded £440.00. I haven't recived anything from them in regards to the court case, this is, infact, the first I heard from them since receiving the S.A.R. info.

After speaking to the court today I have been told I should have contacted Lloyds to reject their offer. However, I have already withdrawn the funds, and today should be filing a request for judgement. Shall I send a rejection of settlement letter today, then request judement in a week or so, giving lloyds 7 days to respond.

As I said in post 17 send a rejection letter.

 

When you talk about judgement, I presume no defence has been filed, thus default judgement. Did you serve the N1 on their registered office address (Gresham Street)?

 

Notwithstanding default judgement is not really the answer, see here:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/lloyds-bank/48946-curli-lloyds-tsb.html#post572354

I would want to do something then send that letter in the link above.

It would be default judgement. I presume since I haven't responded to the last Lloyds letter, they now presume everything is settled.

They haven't responded to the claim at all, just re-paid the charges, minus interest and S.A.R. fee.

I'm kinda thinking to just leave it, I've had alot of stress this past week, I've been seriously physically attacked, and I'm trying to cope with that.

Guido, shall I send the letter you have suggested giving them 7 days to respond then?

If it is all too much, then leave matters for week or so.

 

But yes send that letter when you are ready.

 

Did you file on their registered office?

That is correct. Some people do not file at the registered address and that is why they get no response - see this thread:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/lloyds-bank/63766-order-judgement-sending-bailiffs.html

 

However, some do slip through the net.
