    • 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 everyone,

 

Sorry for jumping in here head first with a request for help! I'm not sure if this post is in the correct area of the forum even.

 

I have a store card that I've had for around 4 years now with a relatively low balance but a very high interest rate from the above lender. I recieve around 5-6 statements from them per year when I should get one monthly. Also If I use their automated phone service to make a payment It states a minimum payment which is incorrect as I then recieve a letter (no statement) with a £22 charge on my account saying I am in arears by 3 or 4 pounds. Last month I payed double the amount stated by the automated system but still fell short by just over £4. £24 paid with a £22 bill to follow!

 

This has been going on for months and I need some advice on getting my charges back.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Herbie.

Too many issues to deal with separately. Contact the firm and query the charges you already know about and ask for an explanation. If the response (or lack of) doesn't satisfy you, you should ask for a final balance to close the account, then pursue them for the disputed charges.

Thanks for the quick replies. I've just read the reply regarding Clydesdale financial and i'm going to read further into claiming my charges back. 22.50 is just taking the proverbial and they do like to harrass customers too.

 

Cleaners here I come :)

I have an ongoing dispute with Clydesdale over a Barclaycard Motor Loan, and to be honest, have found them to be the worst company I have ever had to deal with in 27yrs in business.

 

See my other post if you want full details.

Summary: They say I owe them £378, despite me paying a settlement figure they sent me, and despite them sending me a ltter confirming I had paid in full. !

They threatened Court Action, which I said good to, (to resolve the matter) , they withdrew that, and have done nothing, except place a level 8 Bad Mark on my otherwise exemplary Credit Rating with Experian.

 

Currently with the Information Commissioners Office for resolution, ha ha...could take 6mths :-(

 

They are a shocking company to deal with. I sympathise.
