    • 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 there,

i have recieved my s a r from barclaycard, and have highlighted my charges, but would appreciate if someone would advise me if i have done this correctly please!

 

for instance this statement for 20th jan 2005

 

20 jan late payment charge, 20 jan £24.00

20 jan exceeded limit, 20 jan £24.00

20 jan interest on your standard balance £26.93

 

i added the late payment and the exceeded limit charges.

 

in total, my

exceeded limit charges for £24 = 15 times

late payment charges for £24 = 10 times

 

----------------------------------------------

exceeded limit charges for £12 = 6 times

late payment charges for £12 = 3 times

 

-------------------------------------------------

should i then add these, and add the interest, and then send off to barclays?

--------------------------------------------------

also, at the end of the statements it says

 

chrgoff purch fees 29th march 2007 336.00

chgoff prch unpd fin ch 29 march 450.74

chrgoff prch prin balm 29 march 1425.72

 

do you know what these mean please?

 

thankyou in advance, and sorry to go on !! :):oops:

Hi Redroo and welcome to the Barclays forums.

 

We have a dedicated BC forum so I'll move your thread there.

 

Are you using the spreadsheet from here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/182-6-interest-calculation-spreadsheets.html. You need to select Credit Card, Simple or Advanced versions.

 

You could claim back interest to reflect the high amounts you've paid BC over the years. Read here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/145027-interest-tutorial.html

 

Have you read the Reclaiming Charges Guide at Link No1 in my signature below.

 

Shout if you need help. :)

We could do with some help from you

hi there,

try as i might, i just cannot get my brain around the charges( i'm sure i definately have one - somewhere!!):confused:

i think i have to do the following:

 

date item charges interest

 

20/05 /'04 late pay fee 24.00 int:

20/05/'04 3xceeded limit fee 24.00 int:

 

 

so do i go along all of my charges and add them up seperately, and then add up the interest seperately?

as in the sample letter it has a seperate bit for charges, and then one where you put the interest!!:confused:

 

sorry , but want to get it right, and have read and re-read, but still can't grasp it!!

thankyou in advance. xx:)

Hi Red,

 

Which spreadsheet are you using.

 

The Reclaim letter refers to charges and interest separately in case you are claiming interest as shown by the Advanced spreadsheet.

 

If you are just using the Simple spreadsheet, ignore the reference in the letter to interest. You will simply claim s69, or Statutory, Interest if/when you file your claim at court.

We could do with some help from you

hi slick132,

i am not using any spreadsheet yet, as just trying to sort out how to do it properly!!

i have a list of the bank statements, with the above fees on them, they are more or less the same amount untill they introduced the £12 fee, so i thought if i put on the spreadsheet the date, item charged, amount , 8% int. then thats it???

sorry, not really thick, just not sure!!:smile:

thanks so much for your help

This is the Simple spreadsheet - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/182-6-interest-calculation-spreadsheets.html The interest is automatically calculated by the spready and auto-updates each time you open it.

 

Have you read the Guide to Reclaiming yet, at Link No1 in my signature below.
