    • Thanks all! My wife was driving at the time (took our daughter to get new school uniform) and I wasn't there so I'm not sure what the signage was actually like, but yes, Parkopedia says 2:30, so it's barely over that. I will check it out with her when she gets home later, I haven't even told her about this yet as she'll probably be quite upset. So - likely my best response at this stage is to just wait it out until a Letter Before Claim arrives?

    • 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.

From what I understand, the defence is usually that they have paid in full. Reading other threads, it seems that they pay up within a couple of days of filing the defence, so hopefully you should have some money in your bank some time soon!

 

 

I'm quite interested to see what happens, my MCOL claim was served on the 2nd also.

Sorry, re-reading your thread I realised I may be jumping the gun a little bit. Have they filed a defence yet , or have they just said they intend to defend the case on the Acknowledgement of Service?

Theoretically they should defend it within 28 days, however, it seems Nationwide like to take it to the wire.Some people get paid around 21 days after the Nationwide are served, others 28-30 days.

 

As I said earlier, mine was acknowledged on the 2nd as well, and I can't help but feel that mine will be one of the ones that drags out to eleventh hour!! Am chewing my nails just thinking about it!

 

Best of luck

Nationwide are in disarray on the moment, they have taken on extra staff to deal with the volume of SAR's and charges conplaints in general. I also saw a message offering overtime at head office at around £14 per hour, if we were that wasteful in branch we would be crucified!

 

Anyway the point is keep the pressure on, keep the claims filing in, FORCE THEM to reconsider thier illogical position (that they don't like people breaking the T & C's and so punish them and then also say that it is these very fees that fund fee free banking in general GRR).

 

This comes from an employee!

 

I'm recall seeing other threads where people have claimed more than once and yes Nationwide normally do put in thier defence that they have already made a payment although obviously it is in more flowery language than that.

 

Just a quick warning though I'm not sure what the current policy is on shutting accounts but from what I can remember Nationwide was one of the institutions that seemed more likely to close accounts when refunds were gained via court action.

The views I express here are mere speculation based on my experience. I am not qualified nor insured to give legal advice and any action you take will be at your own risk.

It appears nationwide are not closing accounts anymore, instead they advise claimants who win that if they are naughty again then they will close their accounts.

If they do try and close account then i would claim again. I'm sure a complaint to the FOs will avoid and account closure.

 

Don't get me wrong if and when i get my charges back i will be so careful that i dont get in this position again but unfortunately since i've started my claim my circumstances have changed which i wasn't expecting and to cut a long story short its made more charges on my account so i'm gutted i need to reclaim again once i have this claim out the way. If i do get my current claim back then it will pay off my overdraft so should be ok but if they try and close my account i will kick up a fuss

 

good luck

Hi ALL!

U should ALWAYS prepare as though U will have to go 'all the way'.

That way U will be prepared for ALL eventualities.

It has been known for some Claimants to actually have to appear in Court to argue their case.

Of course, the more robust your Claim, the less likelihood of a Bank wanting to take U on in open Court...but these things STILL happen!

MTM, I had chewed away all my finger nails already, without seriously considering I might have to go to court, what are you trying to do to us?

 

In all seriousness though, I agree, I have done some background reading when I get an opportunity, just to get an idea of what might be.

 

Doesn't leave me feeling any more confident though!

...what are you trying to do to us?
Doesn't hurt having a reality check now and then.

We are talking money here

...and the 'Big Boys' consider ours is really theirs!

 

To slip into complacency during the course of your Claim is worse than not Claiming what is rightfully yours in the 1st place!

 

 

 

Doesn't leave me feeling any more confident though!
Awww...Bless!

But U have more than 100,000 CAG Members to hold your hand though?!
