    • 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.

Hello,

 

After months of reading the various forums ( CAG and MSE) I finally have decided to go ahead with persuing Lloyds on behalf of my husband for the appaling charges they applied to his account between 2002 and 2004.

 

So far things are going fine. I requested the copy of all charges and they responded after exactly 40 days! They deducted £10 out of my husbands account. Please be aware they missed off some later months, but as it happens I had kept the original statements. This may just be a genuine error or it could be a stalling tactic as had I not kept them I would have had to write back again... (Suspicious, moi!?)

 

I then sent my first request for a refund on 13/4/07 and am currently waiting for Royal Mail on line to catch up and confirm that my recorded

delivery letter has been delivered.

 

I have read the FAQ's and am about now ready for a fight!!

The story so far...

Thanks Barty- I am sure I will need help down the line. My biggest problem at the moment is Royal Mail! I posted my first letter asking for the charges back on the 13th by recordered delivery and bl**dy Royal Mail still haven't logged it as delivered yet! 6 days for first class delivery and counting...

Am banging my head against the desk...!

Well, I received my first sod off letter from Andover this morning. It seems to be a 'one size fits all' response, they refer to requests for copy statements (I have already paid, requested and received them) Guidelines on credit card charges (my claim is nothing to do with a credit card!) Concerns about 'sharing of information' -(I have never had any such concerns!)- Has anyone had the same letter?

 

Can Lloyds not even be bothered to match thier template response letter to the correct request..!!??

 

Dear Bleachyschick

Thank you for getting in touch with us. I am sorry you are unhappy about your account charges.

Like any business, we do make a charge for some of our extra services. When customers don't have enough in their accounts to cover a payment, this always means extra work - and it has to happen very quickly. We have to agree to make the payment by setting up or increasing an overdraft, or tell customers we can't agree it. We feel it's fair to charge for this service.

Of course it's only fair too, that we're completely open about any charged-for services before you might need them. That's why we take care to give every new customer the latest guide to our charges. You can also get up-to-date details about fees and borrowing rates at all our branches, through our helpline and on our website.

Just as importantly, we do everything we can to help our customers avoid these charges. You can get an up-to-date balance at any of our cash machines, over the phone, on line and by weekly text to your mobile.

If you know a payment is going to take you over your agreed limit, you're welcome to see if there's anything we can do.

The Office of Fair Trading has published new guidelines on credit card default charges. We're still talking it through with them, but the important point is that the guidelines are about 'default' charges that people pay when they break an agreement with us. This doesn't apply to your charges as these were for dealing with your request to go over your agreed overdraft limit. They are not default charges because you haven't broken your agreement. They are our prices for the service we provide in these situations.

I understand that you may also have some concerns about us sharing information about your relationship with us with the credit reference agencies we use. I'd like to reassure you that this does not apply to bank charges; we only share what is known as white data, which is information about payments to your credit card, loan or mortgage accounts.

I do hope you can see that we make our charging system as fair as possible - and why I can't agree to cancel your charges.

If you have asked for copy statements and paid the fee, we'll send them to you

within the 40 day limit set by the Data Protection Act. .

If you have not yet sent the £10 fee you will need to send it to us at the address below. The 40 day limit starts from when we receive your payment. Please quote the reference number shown above when you send your cheque to us.

Statement Request Lloyds TSB Bank Plc

Customer Service Recovery Centre Charlton Place (C25)

Andover

Hampshire

SP101RE

I hope this fully answers the points you raised with us. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. If we cannot come to an agreement, I will provide

you with details of the Financial Ombudsman Service so they can consider your complaint independently.

If you.are happy with the way I have dealt with your complaint, there is no need for you to reply to my letter. If I have not heard from you by the 20 Jun 2007 I will close­my file, though of course I will re-open it should you come back at any point afterwards.

Yours sincerely,

Debbie Gilbert Team Manager

Customer Service Recovery Centre Andover

Hi

It all depends on how busy your local Court is, it could be a few weeks or several months away.

I wouldn't print anything out yet, but there is nothing wrong in having a good look at it so you know what it entails.

Barty:)

I WON!!!! :D :D :D

Quick update...

Submitted MCOL on 25/5/07 and backed it up with a letter to the Court Manager attaching my schedule of Claims.

 

The Claim was 'Issued' on the 30/5/07 and was 'deemed served' on the 4/6/07 giving Lloyds until the 18th June to do something about it.

 

I am peeved that Lloyds have not even bothered to write to me since my initial refund letter ( and even then the response was a standard 'bog off- one-size-fits-all' typeletter) I got nothing after my LBA and nothing since.. I am beginning to think they don't care... (HHMMMM!!!) lol

Received notice yesterday that my case has been transfered from MCOL to my local Court and that a MCOL judge recommends that the AQ is dispensed with. Does any one know if I have to wait for mny local Judge to confirm this or is it a certainty now? I will phone the court shortly to see if an AQ payment is still required.

 

Along with the document was the boring old 9 point defence from Lloyds-no surprise there then.

I am going through my evidence to compile my bundle and have come across a potential problem- can anyone help?

 

I sent my SAR and prelim request out before I found this web site and as such, didn't ask for details of any manuel intervention on my account.

 

I was thinking of sending the following letter to Lloyds (and a copy to [problem] as they have defended the claim already) it will serve 3 purposes as far as I can see...

1) to ask for details of manual intervention,

2) to ask for copy of original T & C's (which I don't expect they will supply so at least it will show the court how unreasonable they are being)

3) extra work for Lloyds and [problem]

 

Does anyone have any comments- is it worth sending?

 

Data Protection Act 1998

Subject Access Request

 

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER:

 

Please supply me with information detailing occasions where there has been any event in my account history over this period which has required manual intervention by any member of your staff, or any other person, I require disclosure of any indication or notes which have either caused or resulted in that manual intervention, or other evidence of that manual intervention in relation to my banking business with you.

 

If you are unable to supply this data because there has been no such manual intervention, then please be so kind as to confirm this in your response.

 

I authorise you to withdraw the statutory maximum fee of £10 from my account for supplying these details.

Furthermore I request that you provide me with a copy of the original terms and conditions applied to my account on the date I opened it (1998)

You have 40 days in which to comply.

I've won!!- well partially. I got the letter this morning offering settlement in return for a load of conditions/ terms unfortunately the ammount is quite short as they have only included £15.14 interest not the £606.48 which I claimed. I am going to write back correcting the figures and refusing the terms but- HURRAH!!!!!
