    • 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.

You say nothing to the bank. They've had their chance.

Go to the court and apply for a warrant of execution. This will cost you £30 which you will get back. Put the address for enforcement as your local branch. Find out from the court which bailiff they will use. Call the bailiff and try and find out when they will visit the bank. Call the local press and tell them and you can all meet up at the bank together for a few photos while the bailiffs enforce the judgment.

 

Beware that the bank will apply to set aside the judgment. Let us know because although they will almost certainly succeed on this, you may well be able to persuade the court to impose some conditions because the courts are getting well and truly fed up with the games and sham litigation conducted by all of these banks.

Thanks charley I think it helps I haven't disclosed goodwill payment to court yet. Excuse the stupid question should I?

 

Hi, yes you should, send them a letter and taking it off your total after the 8% or whatever percentage interest you are using

 

Nursing in itu is much less technical than this.....

 

Err, I think I would be ok doing this but not doing what you do in ITU My mother was in an ITU for 3 months, and dont do yourself down, it is fantastic work, and very technical and knowledgable

hope this helps

Excellent news Nurse.

 

This type of post can only give others in the same position hope that eventually the banks will cough up.

 

Also it has only taken you since January to get your money repaid.

 

Well done

Dear Consumer Action Group

 

I have been sent a letter by Abbey, with my surname spelled incorrectly.

 

They are offering the majority of the amount I am claiming.

I have contacted experian to remove the default judgement against me, using a template from a forum member.

Experian have only issued a notice of correction and decided to contact Abbey. I will also contact Equifax.

 

No offer of removal default has been mentioned by Abbey.

 

The letter clearly states

 

We have now conducted a complete reconciliation of your account and without any admission of liability, Abbey National Plc has determined in this instance, to settle yuor claim in full. Payment is in full and final settlement of your claim.

 

We will inform the county court that Abbey is settling your matter in full and asking the court to withdraw the claim from the hearing list.

 

I do not want to settle ANYTHING WITHOUT THE REMOVAL OF MY DEFAULT

 

Please help!!!

At the time of my claim, they had not defaulted me.

 

I wrote to Experian recently to remove the default with a letter from a forum member with legalities on why they should remove the default entry on me etc.

 

I have also applied for my credit file from Equifax, to see what they have on me.

 

I HAVE BEEN REFUSED CREDIT RECENTLY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!!! THAT REALLY HURTS!

 

Experian have issued a letter cc to the companies who have refused me credit recently, as contesting the data controller details of Abbey etc.

 

I will be on to them NOW!

 

I have NOT requested a SAR or CAW as I have all my statements I need.

 

Please help!!!
