    • It is not as simple as you seem to suggest. 1. My wife needed the car and there are no local public transport facilities within 2 miles. 2 Neither of us has the technical expertise to change a battery. 3 Not only does the battery itself have to be appropriate for stop/start technology; but also, according to the handbook, has to be registered with Mini by a recognised agent, which I am not, neither is Big Motoring World. 4 The car had to be towed. Where was I going to have it towed to where I could be sure it would be properly dealt with? I couldn't trust Big Motoring World to do it. I couldn't have it towed to just any garage and be sure they had the right battery and the time to fit it. 5 The high sum involved is mainly for the diagnostic test which Big Motoring World asked me to obtain; and they did not initially raise any objection to the car being taken to the nearest main dealer. I would not have got the diagnostic test, if they had not asked for one. So, I understand where you are coming from, but having ignored requests for reimbursement, what else could I have done to recover my lay out?
    • Thank you FTMDave.  I'm happy to make your suggested changes.  I'll wait a day or 2 to see if any of the team have any other suggestions or feedback.  Do I then just email a copies to both UKPC and the court? Lookinforinfo - Unfortunately I am not sure if the signs have since been changed and cannot recall seeing any on the night as it was dark.

    • I can't imagine that EVRi will want a judgement against them on this and based on this argument. I reckon you have a better than 90% chance that they will try to reach out to you before the trial date. They know that what they are doing is thoroughly wrong and dishonest and contrary to law. They are following this thread, of course – and they've already seen this witness statement. I imagine that they are scrabbling around trying to understand how they can extricate this without using too much face. I suppose they will make an offer to you which is a few quid short of your claim in order to say that they were justified in being stupid. Hold out for every penny. It's your money and you deserve it. It's not their money and they don't deserve it

    • 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 all,

 

I'm just an ordinary working geezer btw, not at all afinancial whizz, so this site is a boon - thanks to all who've contributed in one way or another - very reassuring for the likes of myself.

 

In fact, after mooching around a great deal on the Internet this site is the best I've found, after sending off my preliminary letter by Recorded Delivery on 9th Feb 07 to my Natwest branch. This was forwarded by them to Natwest PO Box 1000 Edinburgh EH12 1HQ, who wrote requesting a £5 fee. (I hadn't found this site at this time!). I dutifully returned one of their own cheques (seemed a bit ironic!:p ) for the amount and have received the first 52 weeks worth of copy statements last Friday.

 

I currently await the other 20 weeks worth and will keep the thread updated as to progress. (Thanks to Fendy BTW, for already answering some queries for me! cheers fella!)

 

I don't know how much I'll be claiming back yet, won't buy another car, but is better off in my pocket than a fat bankers (with a 'w', that one).

 

cheers,

 

John.:)

Lol. Great starter thread Jonny. And Fendy by the way, is a girl, (lol, not a fella), no offence taken though. All our names on here can be confusing, in that you never quite know if your'e dealing with a guy or a girl, unless their name is obvious. Ive made a few gaffs myself in calling He's she, and other way around. No worries Jonny. Youve started on a very rewarding road, its a kind of warm glowing feeling inside, knowing youre on your way to payback. Stick with the programme and dont miss your deadlines. Stick with it. Do everything you say you will and dont back down. Just remember when you get your statements back and calculate your charges you then send your first letter to Mr. Stuart Higleys department at Borehamwood address asking for the charges back. Wait 14 days. Even if he replies with the usual OK Mr. Man were looking into it, will get back to you shortly, still stick with the timetable. Give him no more than 14 days from when you send that first letter, then bang out the second LBA letter, i.e. you have 14 further days to come back to me with offer to pay my money back otherwise court mate. And then when that 14 days is up. Blummin well start that court process because at that point you can add your 8% and the costs for having to file your claim, and daily interest and it makes your claim that little bit more worthwhile at that point. But do remember this. If they come back during that 28 days offering you your full amount of just charges back, you have to accept. Anyhow, keep coming back on here and we will keep you on the right path. All the best, this is just the beginning. Fendy xxxxxxxx

Ooops:o ! Sorry Fendy sweetheart, darling, lady person! No offence taken I gather...:) Gosh! you can't half type quickly as well! Thanks for the inspiring initiation rationale, I feel confident of working one up them already!

 

ps - I wouldn't like to be that Mr H geezer in Boreham Wood or wherever he is, his mail intray must be pretty full - I bet he's got a furrowed brow! That'll teach him when his parents told him to get a job in banking as it was a surefire thing!:p

 

I'm giving them until the 40 days from the cheque payment for the rest of the statements and then..........I'll keep this thread updated....

 

cheers,

 

John:)

LOL. Funny one Jonny. It also definitely helps to have a sense of humour throughout this process as it can really knock it out of you at time. That humour will get you through. As I said, no offence taken whatsoever, its a common mistake we all make. No worries. Just go get your damn money. LOL. Parents, banking jobs, ha, not for me thanks. I have a much more creative mind than stamping cheque in all day or answering money claims from angry customers. LoL. Bet hes wishing his career had taken a different path now huh. !!! Poor man. A tiny part of me almost feels a bit sorry for him. LOL.

 

Best of Luck Jonny. But you wont need it. You will walk it.

Just an aside - but listen to this one - (my accounts now in order and I've no money worries, that's why I'm looking forward to having the last laugh with these ba***rds!)), but;

 

A short time ago (5th Feb actually) when my current account had exceeded its' credit limit I got a letter from the grabbers telling me they had been unable to pay a DD to Powergen.

 

Let me know what you think of the tone of this letter and if any of you have had the same - it was enough on its' own to make me want to close my account, and once I've won these charges back, someone will be feeling the sharp edge of my tongue.:mad: ........and I quote;

 

" I have not been able to make the following payments because there are not enough funds in your account. I suggest you contact the person or organisations expecting the payment to explain why it has not been made. You should make other arrangements to pay them.

 

(Then quotes the company, amount (£59) etc).

 

We have charged your account a fee of £38 in line with our Banks Standard Charges (available upon request).

 

Please make sure there are enough funds in your account to cover future payments or I will have to end your arrangement with us.

 

Please call me as soon as possible on the above number. I am willing to discuss finding a way to help you, but I can only do this if you contact me.

 

yours sincerely,

 

(squiggle)

LOL. Just standard bank letter Jonny Im afraid. I used to take em personally till I realised, at the end of the day,even though we bank with them and even though in my case Im always in credit now, etc. etc. we are still just a number. The banks are run primarily for their shareholders, not their customers Im afraid. Tis sad, but its life. BTW, keep your eye out for Nattie on here. Hes Natwest staff member so is sooooooooooooo clued up on everything Natwest. Hes really helpful so Im sure your paths will cross along the way. Make use of him. Hes brill. Fendy xx

Well, good to join the club I say!:) Fendy, I realise I'm just a number, but doesn't the arrogance of the tone of that letter say it all? Just why we're all here?

 

Needless to say, my intial letter reclaiming my charges was sent just a few days after receiving that letter! Boy did it spark it off in me! I'd love to meet the person that drafted that template in front of their boss, and whack them several times hard across the face with a wet kipper!:mad:

 

That is THE, single most offensive leter I've ever received from anyone! (including my ex-wife!!):)

 

Nattie, great to have an 'insider' on this forum, what a gem! The Spy who came in from the cold! (as long as you're not a plant, of course!,lol!!)

You make Anthony Blunt look harmless!!

 

Hedgie - still on beans on toast I'm afraid, though my savings account with Snatchwest will be moved after this, to join my other meagre scraps in an offshore, registered in the I of M, with no affiliation to any major UK banking institution (don't you love the way they call themselves 'institutions').......didn't they used to put mad people in those places????

See Jonny, the optimistic side is at the fore front already. That sense of humour is gonna get you through this. Had a great giggle at your last post. Hedgey your right, hes a beans on toast guy, but has potential to be international jet set guy with offshore bank account. LOL. Ooooooh, well maybe after this claim. Keep the spirits up Jonny. And to be honest, letters like that one you got from Nasty West are exactly the kind of things that spur you on to the end. You want to get one over on them and make them pay for being so rude to you, so what they dont actually realise is that by being snotty to their customers, theyre actually bringing more claims upon themselves. Well done nasty west for being on a mission to get sued time after time after time. Lol. Keep posting Jonny. Your thread is building nicely for a first night poster. Lol. xxxxxx Fendy xxxx

Ha ha ha........ yep, you're definitely a northerner Jonny! I've always wanted to slap someone round the face with a wet fish (usually my hubby when he kidnaps the remote or misses the loo after a 'few')- so if you're thinking of going for it give me a shout - I'd lurrrrrve to watch!!! As for beans on toast, what (pray tell) is wrong with good old northern egg and chips? A useful little gig that can be alternated with beans on toast when cash is hiding (or it's been nicked by the bank!!)

 

Institutions? Banks? Mad people? Please explain the difference! (Nattie, no offense to you whatsoever, you're an absolute darling and we love you to bits!!)

 

Good luck Jonny, keep us posted!

Nattie, only jesting m8y, think it's fab that you're here, as an insider, so to speak. Oh!....just thought though........if enough people pick up this 'charges' thing and run with it, could we potentially be doing you out of a job?.....not sure my conscience could live with that.....let me think about it.....(2 seconds later)....YEA, ...COURSE!!:)

Yeah cos then Nattie would set up his own CAB service offering to help people sue Nasty West and other equally horrible banks and he could be one man help institute (there we go with that word again relating to people being mad), and he could have one man business charging fees to help people get their fees back. He would know everything inside out so could have really invaluable little business there, so claim away. If he loses his job hes always got another very viable opening in private advice for suing banks. Go Nattie......... you would be ace at that one. And could work from home too. Wow, what could be better. Fendy xx

Nah............ Nattie's way too clever for the banks anyway!! I've got a theory that he's actually the head honcho at nasty west who advises us on here 'cos he doesn't agree with the charges!!! :grin: :grin: :grin: (whoops - I'm so gonna get done for that one!!) Soz Nattie, in cheeky mode tonight xxx

I think i have more to worry from within than from outside to be honest. Considering that the banks profits went up this year and indications are they are doing better this year, i think the answer is........Not a chance.

 

Oi, i can still read i suppose i had better say that my name is Stuart and i am from borehamwood!!
