    • Just an update, finance company rejected my complaint saying they've found damage but can't tell when it's from even though I've shown them how the front end is misaligned in the advert photos compared to another identical model car they're selling.  Dealership now want to charge me to get the car brought back to me but will only discuss over the phone which seems off. They're also saying no damaged was picked up by JLR main dealership before I purchased it but my local JLR dealerships till this day haven't mentioned the damage to me because they don't go into stuff like that for some reason lol  Ombudsman case is still open, not sure if I should leave the car with them or just pay to have it brought back.
    • Hi all, I get esa and pip,  I have £1200 in arrears that I owed my ex partner, I have been paying £100 per month to clear this debt that was setup by standing order, as I have complex needs I forgot about this standing order and have overpaid mainternance by around £4000, I told CSA I am happy for my ex partner to keep overpayment I do not wish to seek anything back, however they have declined to take of the sum of £1200 and are still saying I owe this to my ex partner. In my second question it was announced that pip would stop for mental health, I don't understand the link below Disability benefits system to be reviewed as PM outlines "moral mission" to reform welfare - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK The Prime Minister has outlined a package of sweeping reforms to put work at the heart of welfare and... Does this mean my money is going to stop? I have spoken to my key worker and I am already recieveing help from mental health team and complex needs team along with connections and mind, I just don't get what is going on.
    • No, i haven't had one for about 10+ years. I am thinking of just going to the court in person and pay at the counter
    • I’m pleased to report the dealer has provided a full refund. He admits the vehicle wasn’t as described. This now closes the matter

    • 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.

Prelim letter now printed and ready to send. The claim is for £504 - I added one charge twice originally because they sent me two copies of one page of my statements. I am on my way to the post now!

Sorry to interrupt, which press release pmfchc?

A senior civil judge has called on the financial regulatory authorities to investigate the legality of bank charges in the absence of any firm court ruling.

Judge Paul Collins, senior judge at the Central London Civil Justice Centre, said his fellow judges were "frustrated" at the number of legal disputes between banks and customers.

He added that the legal community was "concerned" that due to banks settling out of court, no ruling had been made on the matter.

The comments were made as part of a Tonight with Trevor McDonald special on the issue of bank fees.

Over recent weeks, a growing number of people have successfully challenge their banks over what they claim to be unfair and unlawful fees.

Customers have threatened to take financial institutions to court over unauthorised overdraft fees that can be as high as £35.

But the disputes are always settled before being heard, denying the courts the opportunity to make a ruling.

Judge Collins told the programme that an attempt was made to arrange a test case, by grouping together more than 30 cases, but they were all settled.

He said: "It is clear from discussions with judges across the country that there are a huge number of cases in which customers have been suing banks in relation to bank charges.

"None of these cases, so far as I know, have ever been brought to trial because the banks have always settled them, sometimes at quite a late stage in the proceedings. Because of the sheer number of the cases and the fact that they haven't been brought to a decision, I think it is fair to say the judges are frustrated."

Thanks UK. I have been in to the court today and filed my claim. Felt like an old hand after my success with Nationwide. Not so much money due this time, but as the supermarket ad says "Every little helps"! :-D

Will they pay it into my bank account or send me a cheque? It's not quite the same as the obsessive checking of my account when I was waiting for Nationwide to pay up, although I keep looking just in case! I have just seen the optician and ordered some new glasses, and as I am a little old lady need varifocals which cost an arm and a leg. Some extra money would come in quite handy.

DDD.

They seem to pay in different ways, some people seem to have had a cheque and others the balance paid off of their card, who knows, hopefully a result soon. Have you still got a balance on your card?
