    • 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.

Yes.. I think you just might be right Dusary - persistence may be the key here, once they start hearing the same old Dusary/MacBoy/Dusary/MacBoy/Dusary/MacBoy broken record for a few days!

 

Claiming beyond 6 years is clearly a war of attrition :cool:

 

It certainly is. Popped over to your thread MacBoy from your link on Dusary post.

 

Its a clear case of "the computer says............."

 

I am now going to bombard them. The last days holiday I spent on the case was relatively successful in that I got 6 years cash but only an interim settlement as want back to 1992. So now going to start the calls with a view to a day off in 10 days or so.

 

Things will get sorted however. We will all get what is ours. 8-)

Hi MacBoy

 

It will get sorted though!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its you that is in the right and they have taken your money. You know it, We know it and they know it.

 

However, they are all that you say- INEPT, DAFT, INCONSISTENT, SELF SEEKING, DISJOINTED, DISHONEST, ETC, ETC.

 

Stay focussed and very best of luck. Will pop back later.:)

I came across something which I think was in Dusarys thread, re data protection and what they had to comply with.

Perhaps that could be considered for inclusion as it states their obligations quite simply.

Will look and find it and the you could think about it.

Extracted from Dusarys letter

 

"Failure to comply with my Subject Access Request – Information Commissioner’s Office informed

· Failure to supply me with a complete history of my banking with your organisation -

· Failure to disclose history of other accounts being held or held with you by myself –

· Failure to send me a copy of the Terms and Conditions you referred to in your most recent letter -

· Failure to disclose any manual intervention in my accounts undertaken by yourselves –

· Failure to acknowledge receipt of the request to remove the default notice recently applied – (if applicable- perhaps refer to records re your credit history eg experian etc if a loan)

 

Just a thought but with a view to the future. If you have ever had a loan or some other type of credit with them you could consider asking for copies of the consumer credit agreements.

For the particular breaches of data protection requirements, I think it refers to all electronic, microfiche/ file, paper etc records, recoprds of manual intervention etc relating to you. I asked them for a list of every time they had phoned me. They have never supplied it.

Give them any changes of address or name plus joint account holder details.

Hello my old friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

I am out tonight but going to give this some more thought and will try to think it through then.

 

Just a thought but its going to data controller at Halifax. You could think about sending a copy to Information commissioner as well, along with a copy of your earlier SAR.

 

 

 

From your earlier post. Visions of Space Invaders!!!!!-------------

 

"and get the attention of the right people 'higher up' (the ones that are shielded by the call centre 'cannon fodder')"

Thanks, I will be filing a complaint to the Information Commissioners Office as well (see penultimate para). Enjoy yourself tonight and don't get too tanked up (or do - it's up to you!) :D

 

No chance. Work then a concert.

Lets see how it goes today. I am in the mood for a phone call to my adversaries at BoS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

They mucked it up and lots of ex trees came through the door. All repeats for the statements I have.

 

It sounds familiar as happened to Dusary.

Fingers crossed for you. Here goes.

 

But, I never got a letter saying they had ordered statements. I'm upset. I am going on to complain!!!!!!!!But I will be rational and in control.

 

Had a good joust re reclaiming insurance policy £3600 from HSBC. Going to enjoy that one.

 

My goodness, I'm addicted to this!!!!

Thought that would get your attention.

 

Ah well the lighter moments help. Sometimes everything can be serious.

 

Was thinking of using your Info Commissioner approach, in fact, I am going to.

 

I'll run that in tandem with letters refusing offer in a couple of days on all 4 accounts, but accepting the cash as a partial settlement. I will run them to the wire as payment should be made by them in several days and there is no form to sign for the current accounts.

 

Then off to FOS, with the whole lot. At least thats the plan.

Kenny you'll get there. I was surprised that my LBA had worked (well maybe I'm being presumptive let's see what the postman brings next week.)

 

There seems to be a 'tipping' point'; magic words or phrases whereby they realise that they're no longer dealing with a casual enquiry and that a) you know what you're doing and b) you're not going away.

 

You still have options to get them to that point - and you will ;)

 

 

Here's hoping! It will at least demonstrate willingness and patience on my part. The fact they won't give me statements and the cumulative effect. I can't really lose now on the money as they have made an offer.

 

After FOS there would be court but I have never been keen but ............
