    • 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

 

This is the follow up to the events as described in this article,

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?435996-GE-Money-Blue-Sky-PPI-Charges-help&p=4769949#post4769949 ,

which as you'd agree has been kind of hijacked and forked into various matters.

 

To bring back the focus on GE and specifically, the charges and the PPI claim.

 

As you recall,

we had a secured loan with GE the amount of which is over the £25k threshold

and on the application form given to us by their brokers Blue Sky Finances of various address from Cardiff to Glamorgan,

the single PPI was already pre-ticked.

 

I have followed to the letter everything that was said here about filing claim for unfair charges and submitted this to GE.

Their replay was that the charges mostly are outside the six years time limit

and that as a gesture of good will, they'll consider the tiniest part of the claim.

They also said that this was their last response and that the matter should be taken to the FSA.

 

So we did.

 

The FSA have now responded with this:

 

"We can only look at complaints against GE, about events that occured on or after 6 April 2007,

but only if the loan agreement is regulated by the Consumer Credit Act (ACT).

 

 

Prior to 6 April 2008, loan agreement providing credit in excess of £25k were not regulated by the ACT.

 

Due to recent change in regulation, we may be able to look at complaints about unregulated agreements

but pnly if the complaint is about events which occured on or after 1 April 2014."

 

It goes on to say " As you are complaining about charges added to your account over six years ago we are unable to consider the merit of your complaint "

 

Also says that if we think the complaint is one the ombudsman service can look at, then reply to them by 2 October!!!!

 

OK, this time limit is getting to me :mad2:

 

I read hundreds of times that 6 years time limit does not apply to secured loans.

 

Can you please help me with an appropriate response, not asking for work per word help, just a guideline of how I can get this mess sorted.

 

Why the FSA think 6 years time limit is valid in this case would be a great start,.

 

Please help I have only few days left..

 

Thank you

-==============

 

 

Target? for the unfair charges, it's GE...For the PPI, the original broker have ceased trading at the address on the loan application, but seem to have moved on elsewhere...so PPI, not sure. Possibly First Finance, if there is a link between broker and them and since GE took over from FF, then GE?

 

Court? on what argument please.

 

Thanks
