    • 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.

Hey guys,

 

Hoping for some advice. Went through the letter sending process and finished sending Ulster Bank a letter threating court action for 2 separate accounts ...

 

"As I have not received a satisfactory response, I am writing to inform you I intend to claim the full amount claimed together with interest up to the date of judgment and court fees in the proceedings through the county court"

This was after receiving replies stating their charges were fair and a letter with the accompanying leaflets for the FO everyone seems to receive.

 

Now heres whats changed, for one account they have sent a reply stating that because it takes a long time to process they need 6-7weeks to issue a reply, but if possible they will do this before this time.

 

On the 2nd account we have had no reply.

 

How should I proceed now?

Hi Ronan,

 

I am claiming off the Northern Bank myself but having read extensively around all local threads, it seems that Ulster Bank only take you seriously when you lodge court claim. It is your timetable, not theirs, so if you have sent the prelim and LBA letters and time is up, go ahead and file in court. They will pay up then!!

Cheers glav,

 

I think I'll send another letter back giving them 2 more weeks, as that will be 6 weeks from the first letter I sent.

 

If theres no reply then I was going to go to the Financial Ombudsman.

 

I've read a few threads and considered court but think I'll try the FO first and if unsuccessful I'll try going to court.

 

Any further advice appreciated.

 

I'll let you know how I get on.

Hello Ronan

 

See the thread titled Ulster bank. I posted there on the 9th of July,to say I got all my money back from Ulster bank:D . I got my offer letter from them exactly 7 weeks and 5 days from the day they received my first letter. If I had not heard from them by 8 weeks,I was going through the Financial Ombudsman. If you have not heard from them on the 2nd account within the 14 days of them receiving your letter before action,then you could send that to the Financial Ombudsman now.

To our surprise we received a letter today from Ulster Bank regarding the 2nd account and they are refunding the full amount! Very happy with their progress and response.

 

I'll wait the extra 8 weeks now regarding the 1st account and the letter they supplied.

 

I'll let you know how we get on.

Ulster Bank settled with me for the full amount this morning. :D Two weeks and one day after I threatened court action.

 

They say in the letter that all the charges are fair, blah, blah and do not accept responsibility, but as a goodwill gesture they offered me the full amount.

 

Keep at it guys. :)

Hello,

 

Posted on another thread trying to get the relevant address for Ulster Bank, i.e. the address to send off the initial letter asking for details of charges levied over last 6 years. Got no reply on the other thread.

 

Anyone here know if there's a specific Ulster Bank address, or should it go to the relevant branch, or to RBS as the parent company?

 

Any help appreciated.
