    • 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.

Morning all,

 

I wonder if anyone with experience of claiming charges can help me?

 

In 2002 I held a Lloyds account as my household account, whilst keeping my student account for my student expenditure.

 

I was very suddenly taken quite seriously ill and had to have major surgery, which meant I could not pay into my account, at the time of this happening I had already been subjected to several charges but when I went into hospital I had about £900 in my account and when I cam out I was -£130, as I couldn't pay it, it was refered to their debt department and as it was charges, the wrote it off and closed the account, but they did default me on my CR.

 

I have since been more informed about charges thanks to CAG and general press interest and I am now really angry that I have probably paid out over £1000 in charges to Lloyds.

 

Since that, I have moved and got married.

 

My questions are:

 

1) Can I still claim even though they wrote off the £130 debt?

2) I now have a different name and address, what evidence should I provide with my SAR to prove my identity

3) Are Lloyds likely to refund me after I ran my account into an unauthorised OD because of the charges?

 

Thanks

The charges are unlawful - full stop - so no matter how they were generated they are reclaimable.

 

The fact they wrote off £130 is neither here nor there, although I would add caution if you were asked to sign anything back then as it might have referred to something which now might be a problem - but if this just happened as part of negotiation then there shouldn't be a problem for you.

 

How long has the default been on your files?

 

If that original debt was made up predominantly from charges then you must include reference to it in any claim and should also be very reluctant to accept any monies as settlement unless the default removal is included as part of the process.

Thank you, I was never asked to sign an agreement agreeing to anything relating to further charges, I simply wrote a letter outlining my circumstances and saying that I was was in poor health I would not be able to make any payment and as I had let them know that I was ill as soon as I could, it was unfair they were charging me, so they agreed to write it off as 'a goodwill gesture', it was only a 4 line letter from LTSB.

 

I would like the default removed as part of the claim, it's been there for 5 years but I am trying really hard to clean up my CR, so I would certainly take your advice and ask them to remove it as part of my claim.

 

Certainly in the grand scheme of things, £1000 ish isn't a lot for them, but for me it is a big amount, not just financially but the whole point of it too.

I sent my SAR to Lloyds nearly 50 days ago and they have not fulfilled my request. My cheque to them was cashed at the begining of June but I have not heard anything from Lloyds at all.

 

As this relates to a close account, am I able to call a number, if so, does anyone have a number to contact them on?

 

What do I do now, do I sit tight or do I remind them of their obligations?

 

Cheers

Hi all

 

14th May I sent my SAR to Lloyds, Signed for on 15th May.

Lloyds cashed my cheque on 23rd June.

 

I have now waited almost 2 months for my data, 10 days ago I sent a letter, kindly provided by someone from CAG asking them to supply the data within 7 days or I would proceed to court to demand access of my data.

 

Still nothing from Lloyds, so what do I do now, how do I go about issuing a claim against them for my data to be released?

 

Would I be able to claim any costs against them for this?

 

Incidentially, I also have the same problem with Barclays bank too.

 

Any advice is appreciated.

I don't know if you can do it on MCOL as I don't use it. Hopefully someone will be able to give you a definitive answer.

Hi tooth fairy,

 

Personally I would take it to the court, as you cannot add your statements with MCOL; I know 1k's of peeps have used MCOL successfully, but in my MVHO using MCOL adds a delay as they pass it to your local court in any case.

If you think this post has been of help, please click on my SCALES on the left - thanks :-) :-x
