    • 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.

thanks

hi,

just posting about the same thing! I have recently contacted Sandy Watt, she could'nt find my acceptance letter!!!-.so she has just sent a copy for me to sign again, and I have sent that today. What address did you use, or did you send the pre-addressed envelope?

 

However she did say once the acceptance letters are received it takes up to 5 days!!

I've had an email response saying they have a huge backlog waiting to be entered so they can't confirm if they have or haven't received our signed acceptance or when they will be repaid (but i posted copies by special delivery last night just incase) so it's just a matter of being patient I guess.

 

I will of course keep you posted :)

The "backlog" seems to be consistent around the RBS forum at the moment. That said, each and every one of you expecting a response / letter / offer / settlement need to be thinking of yourselves and not RBS. The backlogs are not your problem, they're theirs and if you don't receive a response in a reasonable amount of time I would be progressing your claim as appropriate.

 

If they have offered you a settlement then not backed it up, they have not kept to their side of the deal, so if you have given them a reasonable amount of time, you should carry on with your claim. If that is giving them a deadline of 7 days before taking them to court then so be it. If it is progressing to LBA then so be it. Ensure you are reasonable so that you can demonstrate (if it goes to court) that you have been and then the bank has no excuse.

I started court proceedings on 14th March, received a settlement figure on 23rd March and now having signed and sent it back (over ten days ago), they are saying they have a back log and no record of it so far. Can I continue with my court claim for the full amount?

Jeepers, how long does it atke to write a cheque.

Delaying tactic definitely, since branches regardless of the amount of cheques taken in any one day have to be processed on the same day (are not allowed to retain debits overnight).

Perhaps they could employ a few more "on-call" staff (whom they treat apallingly)to process the payments.

They don't give you ten days grace to cough up the money before bouncing a payment/charging so why on earth would you wait?

GRRRRR

my letter said it would be paid direct to my account.

 

I'll just sit and sulk for another week, as long as I know its on its way I suppose I shouldn't pester for fear of holding up anyone who hasn't had an offer yet.

Tf44, you took the words right out of my mouth! :)

I was also thinking they don't seem to have backlogs when it comes to taking our money! I suppose they could just be trying to make things difficult to put some people off? And if we just accept the excuse of backlogs, we could end up waiting months!!

 

I was told to send my acceptance letter back in a pre-addressed envelope, which is a different address to the one written on the acceptance letter-I did'nt realise this until after I had posted it.

 

When I asked about this I was told to send it to the address on the acceptance letter- and not the enclosed envelope-so whats that about!!-time wasting? (and that letter in the pre-addressed envelope has gone missing!) So that has given them an extra week already...now I have to wait until they recieve the copy...

 

So I will be sending yet another letter, recorded (more costs to me!) giving them a deadline.

It takes about two minutes to write out a manual debit and credit and about a minuute to process!!!

 

Can't see how they can say "oh backlog".

This is rubbish.They don't need to investigate any further, they just have to pay the money.

Ask them if they expect you to believe that an instiution as large as theirs, whose job it is to make this kind of transaction all day long, really need ten days to perform a simple account transfer?

Makes you wonder how they ever get any work done at all?

Well in reality, it might only take two minutes to pay get a cheque processed, but if you have worked or do work in a finance company, you will know that the people who are dealing with our requests now (Tommy et al) aren't the same people who will be writing the cheques or paying the balances. This will get passed on to another department to do once Tommy et al have got round to your mailing and that is where the stated backlog is - the backlog they are referring to is the amount of paperwork that is coming through the door right now and they are no doubt having difficulty just getting through it all.

 

If you think a reasonable amount of time has passed without you receiving your settlement then I would send them a letter giving them a deadline to turn this around else you will progress your claim to the next stage (obviously "the next stage" depends on what you were at at the time of the offer).

 

At all times you need to give them achievable deadlines so that if / when you go to court you can demonstrate you have been reasonable.

In terms of structure, I'm not sure, but I believe Tommy is Sandy's senior.

 

He was dealing with our claims when I was doing mine, so Tommy was quoted by everyone. Nowadays, everyone quotes Sandy. I guess I'm just showing my age there :D

From one polite letter dated March 2nd, an offer from RBS on March 23rd and one chasing email from me last week - THE MONEY IS IN OUR ACCOUNT TODAY!!!!!!

 

I can't believe it :D I feared we would have to keep chasing for it. Just to let you all know, don't lose heart - I hadn't heard anything for 3 weeks and bingo there it is. All (a few thousand) of it!
