    • 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.

as far as i am aware, its up to the judge to decide if the cases will go ahead, personally i think those at court stage will still go, but the others will be left to hang on.

The judges at the Leeds Mercantile hearings haven't stood for any nonsense from the banks so far, so I hope that this continues in the light of the OFT test case.

Jess124 - So am i, we're all in the same boat on the same date, so you're not on your own. Its a group hearing so its not just you versus the judge.

 

Noodles 3 - Could you elaborate on what you just said? Are you saying the outcome of our cases could be decided on what happens in the test case? ( i presume you mean the case where Barclays, cap one and others have been pulled by the OFT?)

 

I'm basically taking my statements and the Mercentile Form down with me, anything else i should take?

 

See you all tomorrow! And GOOD LUCK!

The cases that had applied for a stay were granted to them :(

 

It was a really long day for everyone.

 

The judge ruled in my case Lloyds had to pay up in 14 days or he'd issue a judgement, i'll have to read up more about what it all means later, just glad to be home, my brain hurts now :confused: lol

 

Bit of a wasted day for most though I think, and quite dissapointing too.

Yes have to agree with you there Jess, us Barclays claiments were disappointed. What time did you end up getting out, as i left after talking to the Barclays representative - who was applying for a stay on our claims. So we didnt necessarily have to go back in?

 

out of interest which one was you lol?
