    • I've had to hide two of your posts.  Anyone clicking on your links gets sent to external sites.  On top of that your real name is showing on one screenshot.  Fellow Site Team member dx100uk has already politely asked - Anyway, jk2054 wants to see the communication you got from your local court which will have told you about the hearing date of 17 June, and will have mentioned a deadline for filing your Witness Statement.
    • I believe it is helpful to seek guidance from a range of places and decide on the validity of the sources and frequency of responses which are most helpful. A single voice can be a dangerous thing. As, of course, can groupthink. Scott, it feels like £4k on a solicitor for a £1.5k bill is overkill. Were we back in time I'd suggest small claims court as your claim sounds like it may be straightforward? By all means add that phrase on. I also suggest you contact the court and go and sit in on a couple of similar cases to get a better understanding before you shell out.

    • 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.

And, by "court interest" you presumably mean contractual interest as s69 interest is 8% (in fact I think it has been changed recently)

 

Can you let me know letters etc you used to win with GE? I NEED :idea:HELP

If anyone purchases ppi via a broker then I believe they have to go after the broker ( and I definitely don't like GE) but if the broker don't exist now then you have to claim via the Fin Service Compensation scheme - which is what we are having to do- or have I, yet again, got the wrong end of the stick?

Hi folks

Is this good news for all of us looking PPI compensation?

Nearly three million people who took out payment protection insurance (PPI) sold by banks and other lenders could be in line for compensation totalling more than £2bn after the Financial Services Authority today issued new rules on how firms should handle the flood of complaints over mis-selling.

The Financial Ombudsman Service revealed that it had received more than 100,000 PPI complaints already, with nearly 2,000 received in the last week alone. In four out of five cases, the ombudsman found in favour of the complainant, and told the PPI seller to pay compensation typically of around £1,500.

The FSA is concerned that too many individuals are being forced to take their case to the ombudsman rather than finding resolution from the bank when they first complain. It said: "FSA data [received from 18 major sellers of PPI] shows that on average, firms reject almost half of the PPI complaints they receive, but some reject nearly all. Around 30% of rejected complaints go on to the ombudsman, where more than 80% are overturned in the consumer's favour," it said.

The regulator now estimates that the number of complaints about PPI will rise dramatically to around 550,000 a year for each of the next five years, and today set out new procedures on how banks and other lenders should approach the issue. It added that some lenders will contact people who may not have complained, but who might still have been sold a policy wrongly. Last year, firms were told to re-open 185,000 old complaints they had previously rejected.

"We look forward to consumers being treated fairly whether they are buying or complaining about PPI," said Dan Waters, the FSA's director of conduct risk.

PPI has become one of the biggest areas of enforcement activity by the regulator since a Guardian investigation first exposed in 2004 massive mis-selling of the product by firms enjoying profit margins of 80% or more.

PPI is sold to customers to protect them if they default on a loan, mortgage or credit card debt when they are made redundant or fall sick. But the investigation revealed that millions of people had been sold over-priced policies where making a claim was in some cases virtually impossible.

In September 2005 Citizens Advice made a "super complaint", calling for an Office of Fair Trading investigation into the PPI business, which at the time had an estimated 20m policies in force and produced annual revenue in excess of £5bn for the banks and other lenders.

Citizens Advice debt policy officer Peter Tutton said: "We welcome the fact that the FSA is taking firm and appropriate action to get to grips with the harm done to consumers by widespread mis-selling of PPI over many years. Evidence from our CAB network has consistently shown that too often consumers have been mis-sold PPI policies that are far too expensive and completely unsuitable for their needs, often contributing to debt problems.

"A huge step to restoring consumer confidence is ensuring that people who complain get a fair hearing and proper redress. Up until now, firms have too often handled complaints very badly, so FSA action to spell out to firms what is expected of them was absolutely necessary."

But the cost of compensation could force some smaller lenders into bankrutpcy, warned KPMG. "The fear is, however, that some smaller distributors could find that the full cost of remedying these sales challenges their status as a going concern – and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme will have to pay – so ultimately, the whole industry may have to share the pain," said Dan Thomas, KPMG partner and head of remediation.

The FSA said it has carried out 24 investigations and three thematic reviews, issued warnings, halted the selling of single premium PPI with unsecured personal loans, visited over 200 firms, and handed out fines totalling £13m. "Now, with this package of measures we're confident we can mend a market that has been broken for too long," said Waters.

A number of major firms have now pulled out of the market, including Lloyds Banking Group, which stopped selling PPI for loans, credit cards and mortgages across all its brands late last month.

Hi Landy_alert.

 

Well done, you should be so proud of yourself. Taking on these big banks and putting them right in their place must have been a scarey task at the first hurdle, but once you crossed that I bet they didn't expect you keep at them.

 

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SUCCESSES.
