    • 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.

Thanks Steve

 

I have never actually heard of the unfair terms legislation, it sounds good on the outside, I wonder if it delivers and what it does for the consumer who genuinely needs finance and has difficulty getting it? If I hadn't taken on a welcome finance loan I potentially would have been left jobless....then where would I be?

 

You say I can get my premiums back? I would certainly like to investigate if you could tell me where to look....

 

Welcome Finance went out of business? ....that's karma at work....lol....

 

Oh and some tips where not to go would be great as I really do need to think of car replacement before I end up having to walk 6 miles to work and 6 miles back home again every day....I simply wouldn't have the energy these days.

 

Thanks for the answers so far. :)

HI ALL

ANOTHER LITTLE READ

 

Cattles PLC - Order of the Supreme Court

 

Cattles PLC

28 July 2010

28 July 2010

Cattles plc - Order of the Supreme Court

On 13 May 2010, the Court of Appeal unanimously upheld the decision of the High Court on the application of Cattles plc (the "Company") to seek a determination in relation to whether the terms contained within certain cross-guarantee documentation operate to subordinate the Company's claims against its subsidiaries, including Welcome Financial Services Limited, to the claims of certain bank creditors, as explained in the announcement of the Company on 13 May 2010.

Following the order of the Court of Appeal, Party A applied to the Supreme Court for permission to appeal the Court of Appeal's decision.

The Company has today been notified that, on 26 July 2010, the Supreme Court ordered that permission to appeal the Court of Appeal's decision be refused because the application to appeal "does not raise an arguable point of law of general public importance which ought to be considered by the Supreme Court at this time, bearing in mind that the case has already been the subject of judicial decision and reviewed on appeal".

Consequently, the application of the Company has been finally determined to the effect that the Company's claims against its subsidiaries are subordinated to the claims of certain bank creditors.

ENDS

The value of the group's loan book is now practically worthless, with the creditors expecting to wind the business down in the next two or three years when the few performing loans have been repaid.

Hi everyone,

 

I have prepared my SAR to Welcome and do you think that this final version is OK as I don't want them being able to get away with not providing all the information I require :idea:

Subject access request

 

 

 

ACCOUNT NUMBERS: XXXXXXX & XXXXXXX

 

 

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Please supply me with copies of all the data which you hold on me in relation to any matter and in any form and for any period of time.

 

Please note that I require disclosure of any personal data which you hold on me for the entire period of my dealings with you.

 

The Subject Access is not limited to my transaction history and it is not limited merely to 6 years of historical information.

 

Additionally, where there has been any event in my account history over this period which has required manual intervention by any member of your staff, or any other person, I require disclosure of any indication or notes which have either caused or resulted in that manual intervention, or other evidence of that manual intervention in relation to my financial business with you.

 

I require all information on details of all insurance products supplied by Welcome Financial Services. This is to include the statement of means, statement of price, details of all insurance premium tax paid, and underwriting sheets.

 

If you are unable to supply this data because there has been no such manual intervention, then please be so kind as to confirm this in your response.

 

I enclose the statutory maximum fee of £10. You have 40 days in which to comply. Furthermore, if I discover that you have levied disproportionate penalties or charges which are invalid under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations against me, then I shall be reclaiming them together with any interest charges which you have levied on them.

 

To sum up, apart from all the data which you hold on me in relation to any matter and in any form and for any period of time, I require:

 

1) Readable copies of my two loan agreements – Account nos: XXXXXXX & XXXXXXX

 

2) Copies of the Underwriting Sheet relating to my first loan agreement ( Account no: XXXXXXX )

 

3) Copies of all statements for both loans – Account nos: XXXXXXX & XXXXXX

 

4) Copies of all phone call notes

 

If there is specific information which you require in order to satisfy yourself as to my identity, please let me know by return. However, please note that the below address is the one which you normally use to communicate my private business to me and which you have hitherto found to be acceptable.

 

I would be happy to collect the Data from my local branch.

 

 

Yours faithfully,

Evening Caggers,

 

Just a thought regarding my SAR which I will post to WF early next week.

 

By asking for the Underwriting Sheets ( to find out about undisclosed commissions ) can't they conveniently lose the damning evidence :idea:

Morning dx :)

 

:confused::confused:

 

I thought that I added that paragraph in !!!

 

See: 1) Readable copies of my two loan agreements – Account nos: XXXXXXX & XXXXXXX

 

 

or do you mean that I should also add to the SAR letter copies of all agreements ( as I have had other loans prior to the two in question that I am querying )

 

Cheers

quite honstly i wouldn't trust them as far as i could kick them

 

i've read several threads where once the SAR has returned, customers have found additional agreements were done by welcome when they 'asked for lower payments' etc etc.

 

put your known numbers in AND include a line about and any other agreements under my name etc.

also make SURE you include any old addresses that you might have lived at in your time with them.

Hi Steven,

 

I have modified this sentence on my SAR letter.

 

2) Copies of the Underwriting Sheet relating to my first loan agreement ( Account no: XXXXXXX )

 

to now read ( as it's more specific ):

 

2) Copies of the Underwriting Sheet relating to my loan agreement referred to above ( Account no: XXXXXXX )

 

Do you mean I should also add another paragraph saying: :?:

 

Copy of the Underwriting Sheet relating to the Insurance Policy relating to my loan agreement ( Account no: XXXXXXX )

 

Oh yes, should I sign the SAR using my usual signature or just print my name in capitals.

 

Gotta get this right as I am sure you will all appreciate.

 

Thanks again

 

Voda

I think you should make it clear that the underwriting sheet relates to the insurance policies on the agreement.

 

It doesn't matter about signing a SAR (te issue wit signatures is on CCA requests)

Hi Steven,

 

Thank you so much.

 

Therefore I will say:

 

2) Copies of the Underwriting Sheet that relate to the Insurance Policies on my loan agreement referred to above ( Account no: XXXXXXX )

 

I will sign the SAR then.

 

Yep I remember the scandal of WF staff forging signatures ....:shock:

 

Cheers
