    • Hello, firstly thank you for reading this. I know no one wants a long winded back story. So I’ll be breif. I entered a local store to buy some paint (which I did pay for) I am honestly not a bad person or a theif.   Didn’t have a basket or trolly as was on my lunch break. Whilst picking up the three tubs of paint placed some masking tape in my pocket (it was hanging out of so I had every intention to pay) just didn’t have a hand free. Paid for my goods (forgot about the £4.39 masking tape) I’ve got so much going on and im not well at all (like I say no one cares I get that) also have autism so wasn’t thinking particularly like others do maybe (who knows my minds going around and around) I left the store after paying, was pulled back in by security. Asked for the tape which I gave immediately  shook up. Gave them my ID and details. I was given some paper and told to expect a large fine in the post for their time and the tape and sent on my way. my questions are: I hardly ever go out without support so the ban I guess I can’t go there now for anything (their loss) - ok but is my photo going to be all over with my name? how much am I expecting in the post as a fine? I have sent them cash in the post recorded signed for delivery to arrive tomorrow (incident happened today) for my error. Their Address was on the bit of paper. i have read two posts on this page but they were from many many years ago so I hoped for updated advise please? 
    • V important you read lots of BMW threads too !  
    • So should I send them a new SAR and put my date of birth on it? Or do I need to send them some proof? Driving license? 
    • Thanks so much for your help!! I've emailed them, and when they reply saying they can't do it I'll reply and state my rights. I'm so glad I found this forum, and will read all of the posts I can find and help guides available for the future. Really can't thank you enough.
    • utter BS, doesn't matter you signed it. pers i'd be writing as per the other threads here rejecting the car as not as described under CRA etc and be done with it. as its a debit card you could also do a full chargeback within 120 days to your bank and simply dump the car back to BMW. 100's of like threads to read here. get your ducks inline. make sure you know what you are doing and off you go. dont take any BS from BMW, no matter what you sign it does NOT remove your consumer rights. p'haps it might be on the off chance you are a good manager , a quick phonecall tomorrow saying you dont want it because (no bla bla fitted) it might be resolved in 5 mins..i will guess to date you not tried

    • 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.

I am a newbie here and i would just like to say what a great web site this is. I have been charged by the clydesdale bank for about the past 4 years (my hubby is in Uni) the final straw came yesterday when a cheque i wrote was returned to my child care provider as i had insufficant funds in my account, thing was cheque was dated 17th it was returned on the 18th i was always under the impression it took several days to clear in a bank, it allways did when i put money in! Anyway i was charged £35 and £22 irregular borrowing fee and because they sent me a computerised letter at the end of the month i will be then charged another £20, it driving me mad so i have taken the first step i have written to the bank and included my £10 (just hope they dont bounce it)to get my statements to find out how much i have charged over the past few years, a fair few bob i would think. i will keep reading all the faq untill i see what they send. this web site is a great service, the banks have been ripping everyone off for to long, i will be passing on all i have learnt to my hubbys mates (all poor students) who not doubt will be very interested in it.thanks alot jen

Welcome!

 

Be prepared for a long & drawn out battle against the Clydesdale (beginning even with getting hold of your list of Charges).

 

There are a few of us in the same boat, I've put together a rough step-by-step guide to how I would approach the Clydesdale if I were to do it again, it's on my thread here:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=3995

 

Probably worth having a read through that & if there's anything you thing I can help with please ask!

 

Good luck

I also mailed letters directly to my local branch.

 

Visited the cash machine tonight and found that Clydesdale have refunded what I asked for (only £160 tbh). In total in took two and a half weeks from my first contacting them.

 

I used the first two default letters from here: http://www.bankcharges.info/ . Clydesdale didn't provide the statements I had lost because they were apparently "not stored in a 'relevant filing system' as defined by the Data protection act 1998" so I'll have to decide whether the possible charges I could claim back from the statements they'll charge me for will be worth it...

DO NOT PAY FOR STATEMENTS

 

They are fobbing you off - they MUST provide the information you have requested. Please take a look HERE

 

Other banks are trying the same thing- it's designed entirely to put you off. Don't let it :D

Get the Information Commissioner involved - As soon as they tell you that they're not willing to provide information prior to July 2005 (this seems to be happening to all Clydesdale Bank customers), phone the ICO, speak to someone on their Data Protection Act helpline & file a complaint against the Clydesdale.

 

You're not alone on this one!

I had the same problem. I went to my branch in question and they said that statements were £5 each. I challenged the employee and she said that she was only quoting company policy. I sent off a letter and have been waiting for two weeks on a reply.

09/10/06:Halifax claims opened with prelims

claim 1 = 1392.38

claim 2 = 1437.74

claim 3 = 1480.76

claim 4 = 0185.32

Changed tactics.

1 claim of £4600 submitted - will travel to england to go to court if required.

 

27/10/06: LBA sent

01/11/06: Recieved an offer of £764

05/11/06: Refusal of offer sent

11.11.06: MCOL submitted

13.11.06: MCOL issued

16.11.06: MCOL aknowledged

17.11.06: recieved withdrawal of offer letter - too late, it's already with court!

27.11.06: recieved written confirmation from Northampton County Court. Still no correspondance from Halifax. They have until 15/12/06 to respond.

O1/12/06: Settled in full, including interest.
