    • 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,

 

I have just compiled my initial SAR and am preparing to post it. Should I send this as recorded delivery, or will it be ok to just pop it in the post?

 

Ironically, I had a call from them today asking me to pop in and have a chat about how they can improve their service. :D

 

Another question, can you make a claim on an account that you have recently closed?

 

Cheers

Right, I sent of my first leeter (as per the template) on January 2nd. On the 16t I got a letter back saying...

 

"The bank is not under an oblgation to present information according to any particular format, and that they will not comply to my request."

 

They go on to say that "The DPA does not oblge the bank to comment on internal policies and procedures". Thay say that "I can receive this info in statements which they will send on free of charge" But they've not sent them.

 

Isthis orml? Have I done somethingwrong?

 

Cheekysods also crossed and returned my postal order, so I can't cash it.

 

Should I now proceed with the second letter? I do't have a breakown of the money owed to me. Please advise

Read the FAQ's and Step by Step instructions on this site. You also need to read the longer threads in this Barclays forum where you'll see what happens and when, what obstacles the banks put in your way and how to deal with them.

 

In your case, the response you've received is standard.

 

Wait until you get the documentation from the bank then use the England Simple Excel spreadsheet from the templates library to calculate the charges. It's then that you send the Prelin letter asking for your money back and you send a copy of the spreadsheet to them with the letter.

I'll hang about until I get the statements then. Then follow up with the second letter. Thanks for the link to your case, very useful.

 

Difficult to find time to trawl all the links. Have 2 young kids that I only see on weekends as I work in France through the week. The company I work for thinks internet acess is a distraction. Think I need a printer and read up on this stuff on the plane.

The (edit) responded to me and informed me that they've (edit) me of almost 2 grand over the last 6 years. I am using a template for my next letter. Is there a standard format for presenting the breakdown of charges that I'm claiming back? I can't seem to find one anywhere.

 

Cheers

Just create a simple document headed with your name and account details, then three columns - date of charge, amount of charge, reason for charge. Fill in the details and off you go.

If in doubt read the

FAQs

 

If still in doubt - ask!

I sent the letter with the breakdown of charges. The deadline for a response from the bank is Monday but I don't expect to hear from them though. So on Monday I will start court proceedings but I don't know where or how I do this. Can you please give me some advice?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but it's not the easiest of sites to navigate. The only thing I can find on small claims procedure is to buy the book. Can you send me a link?

 

I did receive a letter on Saturday from Barclays - Customer Relations Advisor (a real person) giving themselves an additional 14 days to respond to my letter. Should I wait?
