    • 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,

 

Just thought I'd jump in and let you all know that there's another new claim just started - I sent my SAR to First Direct on Tuesday (27/03).

 

I'm sure I'll be badgering you all for advice in the weeks and months to come but promise to keep you all up to speed with the progress.

 

Bring it on...!

Just thought you might be interested to know that FD have been very quick so far with me. Couriered statements arrived after a week, put in a refund letter and one week later an offer was made. Not enough and trying to say the returned direct debits were not allowable which I believe they are, so have given them a further week to respond. So, so far so good!

Hi Mull, FD were slow in getting my statements to me, quick in returning cheque and then took about 4 weeks for statements.

 

Its quite straight forward, read as much as possible on forum really helps. Just sent my prelim letters to day. 14 days and counting:roll:

I've been spending some time reading all the threads. There seems to be a lot of experience in the forum so I'll tap into it wherever possible.

 

Good luck with your claim, Kitty. I'll be keepin' my fingers crossed for ya.

  • 4 weeks later...

Hi mull you could send them a LBA for non compliance giving FD another 7 days to respond.

My other half did that with her barclaycard and filed at court for a compliance order... needless to say after Bcard received the form they were very quick to send the statement.

OK. I have now filled in the LBA for non-compliance (took about 2 minutes!) but I'll wait until tomorrow before posting it, just in case there's been a delivery at home today whilst I've been at work. (Forever the optimist, me!)

 

Thanks for your guidance Phonesurgeon

You'll find this problem throughout the whole spectrum of banks at the moment, they are so overrun with these requests they clearly cannot cope,

I suggest you contact the Head Office and ask to be connected with the Data Controller, remind them they are in breach of your SAR and would appreciate their comments on how they propose to get you your statements without further delay.

Bloody typical! Sent the LBA for non-compliance on Thursday and the statements turn up yesterday morning. Looks like they've been trying to deliver them since the 5th May. They couldn't find my house, it would seem. No, before you ask, it's not hidden away anywhere, just seems that the courier company are as incompetent as most big companies nowadays.

 

Anyway, I'll get my highlighter pen out and let you know how much they've shafted me for over the past 6 years.

Right, just finished going through the statements. FD owe me nearly 1200 quid. Not as much as I expected but still plenty of money.

 

I'll get my claim letter done tomorrow and send it off on Monday and see what happens.
