    • And just to reiterate – I'm sorry if the message above sounds a bit harsh. We have to get the message out to other people who visit this thread as well. I realise that you are having a difficult time and we will do our best to help you, of course
    • The last photo shows the overflow carpark looking at the block which our room was located. When we got out of the car my partner thought that the building was for staff accommodation.  The unsecured bedroom window opened onto this car park.
    • Also I see that you are doing a lot of this on the telephone – and without any written confirmation. This is a big mistake. You need to start taking this matter seriously and so everything should go in writing. If you have telephone calls then they should normally be recorded. Read our customer services guide. You should make notes about every telephone call and then you should send an email to your telephone correspondence confirming what they have said or what they have agreed. It is important that you keep detailed paper trails here. Of course we may be jumping the gun and maybe big motoring world will step up to the mark – but I'm afraid that they have a lousy reputation has you have seen and so you need to start practising survival techniques and protecting yourself. You say for instance in your letter of rejection that the mechanic told you on the telephone that the gearbox needed replacing. Do you have any other evidence of this conversation? This is going to sound a bit harsh – but other people will be visiting this thread as well for their own purposes. You conducted their research about this company before you bought the vehicle. You now are fully aware that this is a company which can be very difficult to deal with and causes a lot of problems for many of their customers and yet you are still taking a telephone/verbal approach. Do I need to say any more? Also one of the documents you put up is an email exchange but it is not clear who is writing to who or what dates. If you showed this email to somebody in a pub they would be asking lots of questions about who sent the first message, who sent the second message, what dates were they sent et cetera. Please think about this before you post things. Please can you clarify the details of that email exchange. Please will you present the information carefully. We are all volunteers here and we have to rely on you to do the spadework

    • 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, new on this forum but havent felt the need to post till just now as there is so much good information here, thanks for letting me be a silent participant until now.

 

I am currently at the stage of Litigation, and lloyds have until the 5th of may to acknowledge my claim.

 

my very recent problem i have is

 

1) I went 1.25 over my authorised overdraft limit on the 12th of april but i was 461 pound in credit on the 13th of april after getting paid. I was 1.25 other my authorised limit for less than 24 hours and I have now been charged a penalty of 30 pounds

 

2) On friday the 20th of april Lloyds were unable to make a standing order that i set up online because i wasnt paid on this day (i know i can claim this back from my employer but bare with me) I have now recieved another penalty of 35 pound for this.

 

 

Now am I completly P!ssed off about this.

 

1) how can they jusify a penalty of 30 pounds for a 1.25 slip up on the wrong side of my overdraft?

 

2) I set this standing order online to pay into my dads account, no other company is involved, there is nothing on my statement to say the bank attempted to make the standing order, i only made the standing order because it was easier to do then to write a cheque, I cant possibly see why they would have to charge 35 pounds for not making it, would they charge you 35 pounds to attempt to make a cash withdrawl at the cash machine of money you didnt have? no you'll just get a 'sorry you dont have sufficent funds'

 

I have rang customer services and they refuse to waiver the charges. Even after I explained the frankly shocking nature of circumstances and that I have just started a litigation against them.

 

I simply cannot afford to have 65 pound stolen off me at this time. (It will take a coupe of weeks to process my complaint through my employers to get my 35 pound back)

 

The charges will be TAKEN from my account at the beginning of May.

 

No what I am planning to do is close this account of Friday.

 

What I hope somone can help me with is will this affect my current case against lloyds, and can you see them refusing to close the account whilst these charges are unpaid? This is what the woman at customer services suggested!?

 

They will have to sue me to get that money there is no way on this earth I am paying more charges!!

 

Please help any adice welcome and I will promise to be more vocal from now on and contribute to this great forum:)

Hi Benjfrst, not much help now, but if you had done a bank transfer, you do it on the day you choice when there is money in the account.

They can't justify there charge's which is why we are claiming them!

Have you opened another account? I can not see LTSB letting you close an account which as far as they are concerned you owe money on,:rolleyes: even if someone on the phone did suggest it.

open another account have everything transferred to it leave nothing in the LTSB account and go from there.

I don't beleive it will have any effect on your current claim,( no doubt I will be corrected by someone with more knowledge than myself if I am wrong, but that is what this site is about:D ).

Hope I have been some help.

thanks for your reply, i do have another account with barclays which i have never actually used but it is still current.

 

I can switch over everthyhing fairly easy and leave a balance of zero but if i dont close the account down Im sure they will just dip into my overdraft to take the charges out. At a loss of what to do now.

OK benjfrst, I know for a fact they will not close the account till all monies owed have been paid:( transfer all credits etc to your barclays account NOW, and request the od is taken off, no longer needed. this has no effect on your case, once they take the charges you start over again reclaiming them:D then you pay that in and close the account.
