    • 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 - there is no difference.

 

There are two methods of calculating interest which we use here. One is Simple interest, the other is Compound interest - and these are just methods of calculating it.

 

There are two types of interest which we use here. One is Statutory interest, the other is Contractual interest.

 

Statutory interest is always calculated as Simple interest.

 

Contractual interest is (or should be) always calculated as compound interest.

 

So Contractual interest is, by its' very nature, Compound interest.

Or to put it another way, there is no such thing as compound contractual interest.

As I remember it from school (Which was a very,very long time ago)

 

Simple interest.....

If, for example, you wanted to work out the interest of £100 over 2years at 5%, then the interest would be £100 x 5% x 2 which equals £10.

 

Compound interest using the same figures.....

1st year (£100 + 5% = £105)

2nd year (£105 + 5% = £110.25) Minus the £100 gives intrerest of £10.25.

 

So basically simple interest is calculated on the original sum for the entire time.

Compound interest is calculated seperately for each year using the total (principal+interest) from the previous year.

In other words interest earned on the previous year's interest. etc.

 

Now that is about as clear as thick Lincoln pea soup.

If you understood it...... could you explain it to me, please.:D :D

 

Regards, Rooster.

Or any other period specified, so for bank accounts its calculated daily i believe.

Hi ALL,

 

There are two types of interest which we use here. One is Statutory interest, the other is Contractual interest.

 

Statutory interest is always calculated as Simple interest.

 

Contractual interest is (or should be) always calculated as compound interest...

 

Just to chuck a brick into the pond...:p

Whilst the above MAY be true.

(...and certainly is in the case of Banks & Credit Card Companies).

It would depend on the ACTUAL wording of any individual Contract and the stated terms of the burden of the Interest and it's Charge thereof contained within.

Whilst the majority of the CAG Membership may only be concerned about the Re-Claiming of unlawful Bank Charges etc.

...There are also those out there who could perhaps use some help with THEIR type of Interest?

A common type being the FLAT % RATE INTEREST, so often used in Car Financing!

Any takers for an explanation/spreadsheet etc???...lol...:)

Dunno about that mate - this is Bank Action Group. As I always say, if you need satisfaction from a faulty vacuum cleaner - you won't get it here !!! ;)

 

Suckers & blowers take a hike.

 

Flat % rate interest is surely just simple interest with a cheap car salesman's flasho sticker on it. I reckon that's about as far as yer average car salesman could throw it !! Just another label for the same damn thing, methinks.

 

I'll take a look around, though, if you really can't fathom it, mate.

 

...but I ain't gonna be sucked in on that one !!! :D

Morning bill-k!

Am sorry to press U on this issue

 

But...

 

In the generic example of other types of Interest that I gave U, I mentioned Car Financing.

A popular company that does a lot of this is Welcome Finance.

It is listed on the CAG website, within the Bank Action Group section, in Other Institutions:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/other-institutions/5361-welcme-finance.html

 

 

Flat % rate interest is surely just simple interest with a cheap car salesman's flasho sticker on it. I reckon that's about as far as yer average car salesman could throw it !! Just another label for the same damn thing, methinks.

 

If U was to look a little bit deeper into the aforementioned type of Interest bill-k...

U may find it extremely repressive and mis-leadingly underhanded (IMHO).

Especially when unlawful Charges have been applied as well.

 

FWIW...

Welcome Finance currently advertise rates of Typically 21.1%APR for SECURED Loans (...under conventionally worked out Contractual Interest).

...I wouldn't dare have a nightmare about what their UNSECURED % Rate is!!!

NOR what their Flat % Rate Interest would be either!!!

 

Have the exhorbitantly (IMHO) high figures not whetted any Spreadies appetites???

Well, I must consider myself duly enlightened in that respect, then, MTM !! Blinkers off, spurs on, then !!

 

Having not bought a car from these (apparent) rodeo fans, I haven't had the pleasure of a square-dance with them !!

 

Taking out a secured loan for a car seems like a public declaration of insanity to me TBH !! Let me get this right - one has either managed to secure a mortgage on one's property or one owns the deeds thereto. Then one goes down the road to Mr. Flasho Dealership and pledges the lot on a car ? !!

 

These people need help, indeed. But I don't think a spreadsheet is going to be a lot of use, do you ?? This is clearly a job for trained counsellors, not the likes of me !!
