    • 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.

That one's reminded me of a loan I had completely forgotten about. The link below is a scan of a copy agreement for a loan taken out in 2003. It is tied to the mortgage. It's all we have (other than the security document) regarding the loan - ie no T&Cs - and wonder if forumites can have a gander at it whilst i go on another search.

I beleive they ARE allowed to charge interest on the PPI.

 

They are not allowed to charge interest on Service charges - IE. say they charged you an extra £100 for processing the paperwork. They are not allowed to charge interest on that. They must, show the amount of the Loan, then add interest, then add the Service charges (if any) on to the end.

 

They can of course spread the £100 over the term of the Loan, providing they don`t add interest on.

 

The PPI, is also classed as Credit, as you are effectively borrowing it, then paying it back over the term of the Loan.

 

Sorry to put a dampner on things, but I`d be more than happy for someone to correct me if I`m wrong.

 

 

 

Consumer Credit Act 1974

section 9. Meaning of credit.

(1) In this Act credit includes a cash loan, and any other form of financial accommodation.

(2) Where credit is provided otherwise than in sterling it shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as provided in sterling of an equivalent amount.

(3) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1), the person by whom goods are bailed or (in Scotland) hired to an individual under a hire-purchase agreement shall be taken to provide him with fixed-sum credit to finance the transaction of an amount equal to the total price of the goods less the aggregate of the deposit (if any) and the total charge for credit.

(4) For the purposes of this Act, an item entering into the total charge for credit shall not be treated as credit even though time is allowed for its payment.

I'm not so sure . There's a ruling on it:-

 

London North Securities Ltd v Mr

 

But then I'm not an expert.

 

 

 

That`s the same as what I posted.

 

They CAN add interest to the PPI.

 

Can someone change the size of that blummin scan? I`m getting sick of all this scrolling up/down/left and right :confused:

Thought I would highlight this one again, any of the clever caggers out there able to take a look....surely this cannot be enforceable, there seems to be SO much missing on it!

You mean they can because they can get away with it?

 

If you look at the link to my scans in my thread below, the calculations are wrong. If they add the PPI into the loan and charge interest on the whole shebang, then the total amount of credit offered is incorrect! That is what the judge mentioned in London North Securities Ltd v Mr.

Anyway, Scouser Lad's agreement doesn't add up right, either. His seems to be a single premium policy. Did they advise you of that at the time, SL? They've lumped it together.

 

Irrespective of what the Appeals court ruled in Northern Sec Ltd, if the PPI is added into the total loan term and interst applied, then the total cost of the loan, as set out in the agreement, is not going to add up. oR am I missing something?

Can anyone help me as I've writtent to MBNA requesting a copy of my credit agreement on the 22nd June 09, but have not received a reply. I would like to know how to word the next letter demanding a response.

 

I had two credit cards with MBNA which was passed on to Direct Legal and 1st Credit. I was not able to pay because I had major spinal surgery.

I took out the credit cards between 1995-1998 and I have been paying 1st Credit and Direct Legal since 2001.

Try this:-

DCA: Non-Compliance of CCA Request - Consumer Wiki

 

Note, though, that the statement at the top that says 'After a further 30 calendar days they are committting a summary criminal offence.' is incrorrect as it was repealled in 2007.

 

They may still send you the copies outwith the time span. You will find that this is a game of cat amd mouse.

Have you read this Link? The Judge was not referring to PPI in this case. He refer`s to the Charge. IE, the cost of Credit.

 

They can add interest to PPI because you are effectivelly borrowing the money to pay it.

I'm no expert, but maybe the Meadows case is judged that way because the PPI was not optional??? It could be that if it is not optional it becomes a charge for credit, and therefore should not incur interest. There seems to be an issue at stake in the Meadows judgement about whether it was optional or not.

 

Anyone care to comment?

That looks like the case, Redfish.

 

The PPI was NOT an option in this case. It was simply `added` to make a profit.

 

Let`s call it `extortionate profiteering`, shall we? ;)

 

Also, they weren`t informed that they could have purchased the Insurance elsewhere, probably at a much cheaper rate.

'The judge declared that the agreement was unenforceable under Section 127(3) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 because the mortgage arrears and insurance policy were within the total charge for credit'

 

Yes, he is. Or am I being thick? The fact that the initial court ruled on it must mean that it is contentious to lump in the PPI within the full term of the loan.

Morning,

 

I`m not saying anyone is thick. Maybe what they had was a Section 18 Multiple Agreement and should have laid everything out as required, BUT just bundle everything into one sum.

 

That would then mean the agreement would be lacking in some prescribed Terms, and therefore would be rendered unenforceable under Section 127.

 

Just a thought.

That's ok; no offence taken, because I can be thick, sometimes.:D

 

Since we are early birds, could you cast your eye over my PPI link? I think there is something untowards in the way it's set out too.
