    • 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 Stonelaughter

 

I have a pending claim against MINT but for some strange reason I found the address of a branch of RBS and served it on that nowhere near where I live. However, i have since decided I should have used the RBS London Head Office Address at

 

135 Bishopsgate, London, United Kingdom, EC2M 3UR

 

OR the one on the statement which would be MINT, Milton Keynes, MK77 1QA

 

I would probably stick to the first one though.

 

Take care to use either RBS or MINT only on the defendant name section. I tried to use both MINT and RBS and it's done nothing but confuse the court people into thinking it might be two companies setting me back at least a month!

Well, I sent my LBA to the 1 Princes Street address. I got a call today from a very confused Branch Administrator at the Princes Street branch of the National Westminster bank.... ??! :confused:

 

I guess I'll try the other address now. I hope that the "feeling stupid" part will go away pretty soon. I'm just glad I wasn't doing my moneyclaim yet...

Strange...that address was taken from another thread which the poster seemed to have used successfully.

 

Just checked on the Mint website they only have Scottish addresses and PO Box addresses listed.

 

Companies House won't list Mint as it's just a trading name and RBOS only has Scottish addresses listed. Somebody else has suggested the Bishopsgate address, but I thought this was only an address for Natwest.

 

The only other suggestion I have if nobody has an address for Mint is to ring Royal Mail on Monday morning 08457 950 950, give them the address of the PO Box which you have, and ask them for the address behind the PO Box. Serve the claim against that address.

OK, the post office was no use... this particular PO Box is literally a box in a warehouse in Southend-on-Sea, and MINT collect their mail from it. There is no "address behind it".

 

They have offices at:

 

MINT

Holgate Park

York

YO26 4GA

 

and that is where I will serve my papers.

OK, now I'm getting p***ed off with this. The letter was returned by "CPP" at the Holgate address. As it's directly related to MINT we cannot help blah blah blah.

 

 

HOW do I find an "Address for Service"? Do I have to 'phone them, and say "I'm submitting court documents against MINT so I need a non-PO Box Address in England?! Mods? ANYONE?
