    • 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 there

I am currently attempting to settle a dispute with Lloyds TSB over my credit card - basically, £12 charges, crazy interest and PPI has taken me £350 over my limit, even though I have made £200 total donations when I could. It started when I was a student, unable to make a payment, snowballed as I tried to find work over the summer.

So much of the 'arrears' are made of PPI payments, however they are in no way 'protecting' me if they are pushing me further into debt.

After DPA threats, I now have some of my statements, so can add up how much the PPI has been over the period, but for my next letter (most prob. an LBA) I need to be sure of the legalities (or lack thereof) behind them applying PPI charges on top of other charges, to an account which has been in difficulty for ages.

Oh, and last month they cancelled my PPI (don’t know what effect this might have on my claim…)

Any help would really be appreciated!

you have two issues here:

1 charges reclaim

2. are you saying the PPI was mis-sold?

treat them as separate issues.

 

if the ppi was not mis-sold, then what they have done is quite typical and as such. ok

you must invoke a claim for the PPI to help you.[it is insurance]

 

dx100uk:D

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi, thanks for the reply!

 

I dont think the PPI was mis-sold, and I remember clicking 'yes' on the online banking system when asked if i wanted it renewed (however I think I was unemployed at the time).

 

By saying adding the PPI to my already-over-the-limit balence is normal and ok, does that mean i have no grounds to contest it? I do feel 'Payment Protection' implies I will be protected from the charges, default etc i have incurred whilst unable to make payments, and since it has in fact made it worse, then is that being mis-sold? Is the PPI falsely advertised?

 

Sorry if im waffling, I cant seem to find a case similar on the forum!

 

Really, though, thankyou for your help and interest :)

with PPI one of the conditions of having it you must be in full time employment and clearly you werent as you were a student so it was missold. i have today got all my PPI charges, with contractural interest and 8%! read redinets guidance notes on PPI

 

you need to do 2 claims one for the charges and one for the ppi

Hello Mooky,

 

You were mis-sold this ppi as you obviously didn't know what is was and you were a student, so you would never have been able to claim with it.

 

Obviously you thought it was to stop them taking late charge payment etc. but it is not about that. Even when you clicked the box you still did not know what it was about. so they didn't explain it properly

 

Read reidnets sticky PPI - Some Notes for Claimants for assistance

 

and take the other advise that you have been given.

 

Claim back the charges and then go for the ppi.:D

 

Good luck

Thanks HellHasNoFury and Kimmy01!

 

Will be outlining these 2 claims in my next letter.

 

There has been a development in my case though - on my latest statement it says my accounts been passed on to a DCA - MBA or something. From reading around, i think this is illigal as the amount of the debt has been in dispute - my letters started in Jan. Is this correct? Can i write to both partys telling them this is illigal, and that i forbid them to process my data?

 

Many thanks!!!

Hello,

 

It is my experience that in these companies, one department does not know what is happening in another. ie left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing:eek: . I would write to them informing that the account is in dispute and you wish to deal with one named person only.

 

Problem is, nobody will communicate:lol: with the other
