    • 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.

I sent a dpa request to Style some time ago, which was completely ignored, as was my follow up letter. This is now the subject of a formal complaint to the ICO. I'll let you know how I get on.

Robertxc v. Clydesdale - £750 Settled in full

Nationwide v. Robertxc - £2000 overdraft wiped out, Default removed by order of the sheriff

Hi and thanks robertxc,

in my initial DPA letter i authorised them to charge the £10 to my account,which they ignored.Yesterday i received a letter of them asking me to send a cheque of £10 (which i have done now,although i authorised them to charge it to account),and once that has cleared they will send the statements out to me.

In my reply i told them that the 40 days started when i first contacted them about it,and not once a cheque clears.

Hell.........i could wait a lifetime then,couldn't i?!:eek:

 

Good Luck with your claim and let me know how you get on.

received a letter today with copys of statements and printouts concerning my account.Charges total up to £105!

Not the best of my claims:)

I think i will leave that one for now until i got some of my cash back from the others,as i have £700 still to pay on Style,and can't really afford to do that in one go if they get stubborn because of a claim.

Oh, I did have one of these! My first adventure into the world of credit was with a small Style account with a £200 limit. I did actually consider pursuing this one as I'm sure they owe me at least enough for a tank of petrol and some groceries.

 

Tell me, was it the Guild Hall, Glasgow address you have used for correspodence?

I'm also pursuing Style. They actually responded pretty sharply to my Data protection Act letter, although, I'd included a cheque in that letter and I think they just responded quickly to make an extra tenner for themselves! I've sent my Preliminary Approach for Repayment Letter almost two weeks ago and am sending my Letter Before Action tomorrow.

 

I'm only after them for £90 (£100 including that tenner - grrr!) - but the main thing is that they've put a big red mark on my Credit Record. I'm taking them to court for that, just for the slight chance that I could get the default removed. I know I haven't get the strongest case here, but I'd rather try and fail than not try!

 

My thread is in the RBOS forum if you're interested in keeping watch on my case.

 

Hope all goes well for you too

I have filed an MCOL and they have acknowledged it. will let you know what happens next! Maybe we could all stick to this thread (or copy and paste from our thread) to keep it easy to track as there are very few Style claims on here.

 

What do you think?

I think Style should have their own forum under RBOS. Barclaycard are in a sub-forum under Barclays, so surely Style should go under a sub-forum in RBOS, as they're ran by RBOS.

Two things, what's an MCOL and any news?

 

I'm sending my Court Claim Forms out next Friday. Had a right nasty tw*t from Style phone me today, being all mean and nasty, telling me to get stuffed and that I won't win. Evil Style.

MCOL is the term for Money Claim On Line. If you don't want to submit your court claim that way then you can fill out a form and take it to your local court, I just find it easier to do it through MCOL as you can log in and track your claim. They have acknowledged my claim but I haven't heard anything from them yet. I think Style should have a sub forum too but as there a few threads on Style the mods haven't made a sub forum. Maybe if they read this they can move our threads for us?

I have put in a suggestion in the 'Comments and Suggestions' forum - No-one seems to be replying to me at the moment. I think they've all had enough of hearing from me today! Will let you know if they create the sub-forum so you can request to have your thread moved if you like.

Lord Mustill Commonwealth,

 

Lord Mustill discussed the need to construe a contract contra preferentem: "the basis of the contra proferentem principle is that the person who puts forward the wording of a proposed agreement may be assumed to have looked after his own interests, so that if words leave room for doubt about whether he is intended to have a particular benefit there is reason to suppose that he is not."
