    • 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.

Hi, currently claiming charges from Halifax (second letter just sent). I had an account with Barclays for a long time and am aware of bank charges that I need to claim. To get my account details and statements do I just send a request for them + £10.00 or is there aniother way?

 

Thanks in advance.

hi posiview

 

Just send the SAR and include as much detail as you can if you don't know the account number. However if the account was closed more than 6 years ago you may have problems getting statements

Hi, I posted this thread http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bank/100748-old-barclays-account-need.html?highlight=account+number

and received the advice needed; I acted on the advice and sent the relevant letter of 2 week's ago + £10.00.

 

I expect them to play hard ball as I didn't know my account number. I want to plan ahead and need advice - can I get a letter typed up in readiness for the expected "We are unable to locate your account details" letter?

 

Great site and thanks in advance.....

2 threads merged, please do not start a new thread every time you post, it will make things difficult to follow as your claim develops.

 

If you have given them all the possible info, last address when account was still live, complete correct name, branch address where account held, etc... there's no reason they shouldn't be able to trace account, so I think there's hardly any point in starting a letter now. If the worse case scenario occurs, it won't take long to fire up a letter, don't you worry. ;-)

You'll have to wait til the beginning of August (40+2 days) before they are in breach of DPA.

 

You could always send a nudge email to barclays Customer Service, can't do any harm at this stage.

3 Active Claims:

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Sole account) - Applied to lift court ordered Stay

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Joint account) - Awaiting court date

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Joint account) Pre-6 yrs- LBA sent.

Settled Out of Court - £3,874.76

Hi, my 40+2 days is due to expired shortly and I've received no statements or acknowledgment letter.

 

I sent the SAR letter without my account details.

 

I've since found them! Should I send them with a copy of my origional letter or just wait until 40+2 days has expired and send a breach of Data Protection Act letter?

I would send them the http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/6986-data-protection-act-non.html but inform them that you have now come across the account details give them an extra week to comply

 

Wow, now that's what I call a quick response!

 

Should I just amend template 3 from:

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Account: xxxxxxxx

 

You have failed to comply with my Data Protection Act Subject Access Request dated (Insert Date).

 

If you do not comply within the next 7 days I shall seek a Court order obliging you to do so together with damages at the discretion of the Court and without any further notice.

 

 

Yours faithfully

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Account: xxxxxxxx

 

You have, as yet, failed to comply with my Data Protection Act Subject Access Request dated (Insert Date).

 

I have, since sending the above letter, found my closed Barclays bank account details. These are XXXXXXXXXXXXX.

 

If you do not comply by **date** I shall seek a Court order obliging you to do so together with damages at the discretion of the Court and without any further notice.

 

 

Yours faithfully

Thanks again...
