    • 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.

Calling all commercial first customers re: repossession HELP NEEDED

 

May i firstly apologise for the length of this post however, when you read the same i hope you will understand that it is required.

 

In February 2008, my property was repossessed by Commercial First. During this time I had suffered sever health problems and was under the care of a mental health team, which to date it still the case. After repossession I did not have any will left to live, let alone keeping an eye on the development of my repossessed property.

 

Some months after the repossession i received a court order advising of what exactly they were claiming for including excessive solicitors fees and an early repayment fee of over £50,000.00. After being completely devestaed by this and knowing that if i didnt try to resolve this matter my life would be furthermore in ruins. It is then that i made steps to buy back the premises. Without going into further detail i did manage to re-secure the property in November 2008 despite the process starting in June 2008.

 

However, during this time the property had been broken into on at least 6 occassions that i am aware of to date. The amount of vandalism was tremendous and would you be suprised to hear that they are not admitting any responsibility for this. Tens of thousands of pounds worth of damage had been done, items stolen, sever damp caused by neglect. I have over the past 12 months been making complaints about this to the company you refuse to respond to my correspondence in full and will not take this matter any further. Whilst I have been investigating the matter I have found several areas in which they have been at fault and have been advised I have a very strong case against them.

 

I am looking for any other commercial first customers who can advise of any dealing they have had with the company. I have a list of complaints as long as your arm and still they fight it. I am 26 years of age and due to the stress of this situation i feel way beyond my years. Although I am just one person I feel that this is a matter that needs to be persued not only for myself but everyone who has ever been or will be in this situation.

 

I would be grateful for any input or advice that anyone can provide. Please do not hesitate to get in touch.

 

Again, apologies for the length of this post but I have only just skimmed the surface.

Hi there, while the property was in their possession it should have been covered by their insurance and therefore their responsibility to put things right.

 

Is this a commercial property?

Perhaps you should now send them a Letter Before Action - giving them 7 or 14 days to respond positively before you issue a claim in the county court.

Hi we are in the process of dealing with this company, we have sent letters of complaint and the internal investigation procedures are a joke! we had our property repossessed in April 2008 it was our business and our home. 9 months later the property was subject to an arson attack and they are still trying to claim the full amount + extremely unreasonable charges off of us. we would be interested in getting in contact as two heads are better than one!

Are you a Commercial First Customer? If so, it is more than likely that you have possibly been miss-sold your mortgage, over charged and generally misstreated by this company.

 

I am looking for customers to come forward so we can actually see this company brought to justice so if you are a customer of theirs at present or have been in the past please please get in touch as action is being taken and the more people that group together the harder the company will fall.

I am in the same situation as maverick18 too my property was repossed and then after making a lumpsum payment I got the keys back only to find the property was stripped of all electrics copper pipes, so it had become inhabitable and not rentable after speaking with commercial first to sort out the repairs they dragged me along for Approx 9 months to tell me that it's not their problem although I have been making payments for insurance at my expense, beause I have not been able to repair the property and generate an income I have fallen back into arrears with them they took me to court to repossess again unless I make another huge payment, I'm beginning to think they sent someone on the inside to break in to my property so they can cash in and make a nice profit. The Fsa have been informed of the practices I offered to make payments which were agreed by commercial first they took the payment and told me they would stop action with courts only the next day I received a repossesion order. I am also a victim of rip off charges professionalism in this company is absent this company are modern day mafia and thieves I hope they rot in hell.
