    • 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.

Myself and my partner have 3 bank accounts between us with HSBC, they have been charging us alot in bank charges over the last few years and have been very unhelpful when we asked for help. In 1 month alone earlier this year we were charges £85 on each of the 3 bank accounts. We have now moved our business elsewhere and we are starting the process of claiming the money back, we intend to hand deliver the DPA letter to them this weekend, which leads me to my first question, do we lump the whole lot together or treat each bank account individually?

 

I will keep you posted on what happens and I appreciate any help you can give me.

I do not know at this stage I do not have all bank statements, could easily be over £5000 for all 3 accounts.

 

Can I send 1 DPA request from both of us, given we have a sole account each and a joint account?

It's best to keep any claims below the £5k mark.

 

There is nothing to stop you making the claims one after the other. The reason for keeping it under this 5k level is that the case can be dealt with under the small claims system ensuring that you will not incur any costs. If you apply for all three together, the banks could ask the courts to join the cases up therefore making one large claim which would force you over the limit.

 

My recommendation is to decide on one account and start the process with that one on it's own. Follow the faqs and send all the letters in order. Once they settle that claim, it will be pretty hard for them to refuse the other two, so just follow the same process. It may take a little longer but you should get all the money owed.

 

Best of luck, Shanks

What happens if you've been charged over £5000 over the 6 years? Could you split it and do a claim for say £3000 for May 2000 to May 2003 and then a £2500 claim for June 2003 to the present?

 

I have a feeling a faq may have answered that - but I've read so much about it over the past 24 hours there's a lot to take in and be very clear about.

Hi BillyNeon,

 

You're right it is in the faqs, but I can completely inderstand that after reading the vast amount of info on this site you can begin to wonder if you remember right..

 

"Q. I want to claim more than £5000

A. Try splitting the claim into smaller chunks in order to remain on the Small Claims track. However, do not run your claims at the same time as the Bank might apply to consolidate the claims. If they did that, your claim would be over £5000 and you might find yourself at a serious risk of paying costs if you lose.

However, do note that this has nnot been tried yet and the defendant might object to the second claim and ask for it to be struck out.

Follow the date spilt as you suggested, once you have won the first claim then go back and watch them try to argue the second :D

Cheers

Could I go down the path with my sole account at the same time as my partner does with her sole account, or does the fact that they are linked through a joint account mean it will be safer to do them one at a time.

 

Thanks

Someone with more knowledge may come and comment on this one for us, but tbh I would be pretty confident in saying that you will get all the money owed in the long run Once the first claim has succeeded it will make it fairly impossible for them to defend the subsequent claims.

 

I would still err on the side of caution though and do them one after the other.

 

Cheers

you have to be registered for internet banking, if you are you can then just use their service , its very easy actually, if you're not registered give em a ring or go into the branch and they will sort it out for you. even if you dont use it to collate your statements it is very handy to be able to check your account whenever you want :p

Thanks for the quick response, I have been using Internet banking with HSBC for a few years now, but only seem to been able to et quite recent history. When I go to the My Transactions section it says at the bottom:

 

! The earliest date for which you can view transactions on this screen is 15 May 2006.

 

So I am a bit lost, on the subject of lost £135 this month in bank charges on one account.

 

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Wayne,

 

If you go to My Statements after you've selected an account it will aloow you to go back through your staements up to 6 years - althougth it won't alllow you to download them.....

 

Good luck.....I submitted my claim for 2 accounts together - although the amount is only £2300 - so I'm guessing it should be fine.

 

Hope so !!

if you go to my accounts then your current account then click on my statements it will bring up the most recent ones, underneath that table should be a button which says "next set" click that and you're there

I have started receiving bank statements from HSBC, got a nice letter from them last week saying they were going to waiv the production cost. Which I thought was amusing since I paid them the £10 when I sent the letter in.

 

Got another nice letter saying they are sending me statements for the last six for all my accounts (3 in total) and my credit card, I was expecting to have to do a DPA request for each one.

 

I have had 24 envelopes of statements which is all the statements for 1 account, looks like the postman is going to have some work to do.
