    • retailer said they'd speak to dpd on Tuesday. I don't want to screw the retailer because they were doing me a favour by fixing it for free  I hope dpd will refund them so they don't lose out. Will keep you guys posted. 
    • Well, we live on the same road so it should be the same postcode. When I spoke to dpd and asked why were my neighbours' address not on the list and she said maybe they're not of the same postcode and I checked and they definitely were. Not to mention, delivery instructions are supposed to override actual customer's address which is why they asked for instructions I thought.
    • again a quick google search states Appeal a DVLA fine - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) i would not be appealing mind. it's only a summary charge which they rarely do court on and pass out the powerless DCA's whom are not bailiffs they have 6mts. see where they go. as you've sorn'd it will probably be nulled. dx  
    • There are a number of reasons why you may not have been issued a notice in the post within 14 days. If you were stopped by the police it may have been given verbally. In the case of speeding offences, the police may issue you with a conditional offer of a fixed penalty of 3 points and £100.00 fine by post or an offer of a speed awareness course. If the offence is considered too serious for a speed awareness course or fixed penalty you may be charged with an offence which normally occurs by way of the issue of a Single Justice Procedure Notice. If the vehicle within which the alleged offence took place was registered to another person or company there is technically no need for a notice to be issued to the driver. After the police have obtained details of the nominated the driver, they will normally send the notice to them, although there are no time limits within which they must do so (provided that the notice was received within 14 days by the registered keeper of the vehicle). In such circumstances, a person may receive a notice several months after the alleged offence too place but still be prosecuted. A Guide to a Notice of Intended Prosecution | Motoring Offence Lawyers the above copy n paste link has purely been copy n pasted here to inform you of the regs, which you could have done yourself by, as this is, a google search......... we do not ever recommend using such offered webservices! dont dx

    • 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 all,

 

I'm sure many people are in the same boat with this one, just wondering if anyone has any solutions.

 

Even after a lengthy conversation with the salesman about me being in the armed forces and the benefits that brought greatly outweighing any need for the insurance the damn thing still got put on!!!

 

Anyway, I figure that it's pretty much my own fault for not checking what I was signing properly and have wrote off any chances of a refund for what I've already paid.

 

Now, after several letters and phone calls trying to cancel the policy for remaining length of the loan (just over 30 months) I was finally told that cancellation will only benefit me to the tune of about £50 because of the way the repayments are weighted toward the beginning of the loan. I understand the logic behind this weighting but from my calculations I seem to have paid 95% of the PPI in the first 50% of the loan period - do those figures make sense to anyone??

 

In all the paraphernalia that comes bundled with the loan paperwork is a page entitled "Personal Loan Agreement" which details the repayment schedule. This schedule clearly states the amounts repaid per month broken down into loan repayments and PPI repayments (£80.13 and £20.07 respectively) and makes not mention whatsoever of the PPI repayments being variable. Yet HFC tell me that cancelling the policy only equates to a refund of less that £2 per month.

 

OK, so here's my real question. I'm no expert but surely a document such as the on I just described, signed by both parties, constitutes a legal contract and as such HFC must honour it?? Does anyone know if I'm right?? Don't really fancy shouting my mouth off to HFC just for it to blow up in my face at it turn out I'm wrong...

 

Thanks in advance for any advice anyone may have...

 

Cheers

 

Karl

Hi,

 

This particular mission of mine has been on the back burner lately, but I've just finished drafting a rather sternly written letter (included a line insisting all further correspondence be in writing - thanks hellhasnofury).

 

If and when I get a reply I'll keep everyone posted.

 

Also, something else I'm trying to get me head around is how they calculate interest for such front loaded schemes. I'm quite good at maths but I can't get it, it looks as though interest is calculated as normal for equal payments, but surely this is wrong and the actual interest should be a lot less. I'd intended to add a complaint about this in the letter too, but because I'm unsure I've omitted it.

They used Rule 78, which is'nt used anymore in the industry. The number 78 is based on the 12 months of a one-year period. When the 12 months are added together (12+11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2 +1) you get 78. This means that if you have a loan to be repaid in one-year, the lender will expects you to pay 12/78ths of the interest in the first month and 11/78ths in the second, continuing like this until the final month.

 

If the loan is paid off early, the lender may use the rule of 78 to determine how much interest you do not have to pay. In many cases, due to the interest element being larger in the repayments at the beginning of the loan, a large amount of capital can remain to be repaid.

 

The use of the Rule 78 to calculate a refund has now been shown to be unfair and unreasonable to the customer and banks are no longer able to use this rule in rebates.

 

The rule of 78 was a rule set out in Regulations issued under the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Therefore no way is a court going to find it unlawful.

 

I have found a Calculator here if anyone wants to check their figures:

Rule of 78 aside from the info given it looks to me like the PPI was mis-sold!!! Personally I would press for a full refund.

If im wrong then someone please shoot me down in flames

Yes go for the full amount. You can prove it was mis sold by being in the Armed Forces. No more back burner, get that letter in.
