    • Received the claimants Directions Questionnaire today.  Haven't had anything else through. N180_Redacted.pdf
    • Hi team, I should of really walked away when they said the vehicle had no v5 and I would have to complete v62. They only disclosed v62 form after all documents for finance was signed. However, I needed a vehicle as I was the only driver in my household and my sister was extremly ill and I had to take her to hospital appointments. I purchased a vehicle from big motoring world on the 31/06/24. After driving away the vehicle the very same day I could hear a very distinctive water sloshing noise come from the interior. I then decided to take the vehicle back to branch 15 mins after driving away. The manager came for a ride and said he could hear something but this issue was ‘minor’ and it was my psychologial thinking that made the issue even worse. Manager was very rude. I then took the vehicle home knowing full well it would give me nothing but grief. A day after the rear left tyre started losing air. I know they could say this was probably due to the driver however I believe the issue was present before purchasing vehicle. I called up Audi and my finance company and explained situation. Audi could accomodate me for the 13th for a diagnostic. Finance company told me to take to an independant garage and not BMW. Motonovo been helpful in this situation.  I took vehicle to Audi for a diagnostic. Unfortunantly, they done an Audicam and the technician somewhat resolved the issue without guidance from myself. No charge was applicable as this was a health check. However, I wanted the diagnostic. The car still has water inside. Audi are saying this is a common fault. However, I have no confidence in the vehicle. I have emailed bigassist with all my findings and commanded them to collect the vehicle. Audi shall also be sending me an email next week of the issues they discovered. This was issue pre exisitng. It is still below 30 days, can I still reject? Do i need to send a letter? I have been very direct to BMW that I no longer want the vehicle. please can we assist    
    • lies is all they have @dx to support their adoration of 'little feet'  like trump, farage and bad penny wannabe 'little feet' caligulas and neros, empty of anything worthwhile.
    • I bought my house 2 years ago. The previous owner had died. I continue to recieve parking fines and communication from DVLA in the name of the dead person, despite contacting DVLA via post to inform them I am the new owner of the property. I have sent them proof of purchase and ownership but the communications continue to arrive. Aside from using "return to sender", does anyone have any idea how to stop this and get DVLA to update their records? Not sure if relevant but the Tax class on the vehicle is disabled meaning that the price of vehicle tax is £0 per year. I assume someone is using this to get free vehicle tax which is up to them, but I'm bored of fighting with parking charge companies and getting threatening letters, as whoever is doing this is also not very good at paying for parking.
    • I haven't heard of them asking for photographic evidence in this way before – but I don't think it will really pose a problem. Have you got a history of sending parcels which were then lost and you had to claim for? When you send your letter of claim? Was the item properly declared? Was the item correctly valued? Please answer these questions and then take at least a couple of days reading very thoroughly the stories on this sub- forum. There are lots of them. Read some of the pinned topics at the top which will explain the principles and then read the stories to see other people's experience. Post up your letter of claim in PDF format so we can see what you sent.

    • 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.

On the 06/06/7 I send a letter for data protection to abbey. they responded on the 16/06/07 giving me 6months bank statements and a schedule of paid and unpaid charges (£770 and 1321 respectively) and overdraft fees for £115.00. This schedule is from Jan 2004. Today 12/07/07 almost 36 day from initial contact I recieved a letter saying 'our reseasrch is taking longer than expected because we want to make sure a full investigation is done. If we are unable to complete our investigation before hand, we will write to you again in four weeks time to let you know how we are getting on.'

 

What should I do next it appears they are playing games asking to wait another 40 days and they have not furnitured me with all the info from when I opened the account in 2002. What is next for me now?.

Hi there

 

Sorry no-one has responded to you - I didn't see your post the first time around, so I apologise.

 

It looks like Abbey are getting their knickers in a twist - again! - as this is usually the standard reply to the Preliminary letter requesting your charges back!!

 

I take it the 40 days for the S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) is almost up? In which case you can hit them for Non-Compliance; have a look here:

I don't know much about this route unfortunately, but hopefully all the info should be in the link.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Best regards

 

Jo xx

I emailed sheena.small@abbey.com and found her quite helpful, she is in the data protection department which deals with the statements etc. apparantly all the earlier statements come from Bradford, which take a little longer to come through (they say this like they are talking about OUter Mongolia)

Good luck

Emailed Sheena but she was replied saying---'I have forwarded your query onto the appropriate business area handling the requests for Abbey. Our records do show that the historical information was sent out to you on the 20 June 2007. As it's clear that you have not received this data, I've asked them to re-issue the transactional information out to you as soon as possible.

I hope you receive the data safely in the very near future'

S0 I am still waiting

  • 4 weeks later...

Next you send Abbey letter before action ( see template letter on here) with a copy of your spreadsheet once you have done it. Do not add interest at this stage. Send both special delivery that way you can use post office track and trace and know they have recieved it. Then sit down have a coffee and wait 14 days, unless you hear from Abbey before hand.

All advice given is without any liability and has been picked up from my own experiences.

Never give up hope - Life is to short.

Before the LBA (letter before action) send this letter, the LBA is the one that you send 14 days later.

But yes! Have the coffee and sticky bun and be very, very patient!!!

Absolutely ditto to the advice about sending your letter recorded/special delivery, you need proof...
