    • 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.

Myself and Matilda153 are at exactly the same point as each other in that we have both had judgement issued via Moneyclaim against RBoS on the 8th June and now have the option to issue a warrant. I've seen advice that says issue the warrant after 7 days after the issue date - but I can see no reason to stop me issuing right now. Which is what I'll do in a couple of hours unless someone can advise why I shouldn't?

 

Will let you know of any progress.

Hi,

 

According to the Moneyclaim online user guide:

 

"Where you have requested judgment by default with immediate payment, you can request a warrant of execution once the status on MCOL shows that judgment has been entered."

 

http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/onlineservices/mcol/userguide/claimant/warrant.htm

 

Hope this helps,

Thanks - I have read that - and I've also found this advice from Bankfodder - 'Don't contact the bank. And after about seven days ask for a warrant of execution and then contact the bailiffs involved and ask them what they are proposing'.

 

I will follow this advice which means I'll issue a warrant of execution on Thursday. Though I am unsure what to expect, or how to act upon learning the bailiffs proposal. Hopefully all will become clear when I ask them.

 

Anyone been to this stage before who can advise?

I haven't been there, but I think that you don't need to act at all; the Bailiffs do it all for you. However it's in your interest (obviously) to introduce yourself to them, and to be approachable, so that they feel like helping you out. That way they'll be honest with you about what they're doing, when they're doing it, and how they operate. I doubt they'll bang into your local branch and immediately demand money or goods to the value; I expect they'll start by writing letters demanding payment.

My warrant has been submitted to the court for final validation before being issued. I should get some movement from the bank one way or the other now - I expect either a cheque - or for them to ask that this be set aside to allow them to faff for a few more weeks.

This is a very advanced stage - I began this in February - if anyone has been here with RBoS before - advice would be appreciated.

Cheers, Cowlie.

Update:

 

It has been over a week since I had a warrant of execution issued - on the moneyclaim site, it says 'Your warrant request has been accepted. The warrant has now been sent to the bailiff at the appropriate court for action'.

 

This is against the sacred Drummonds branch of RBoS.

 

I think there are two things that could happen - they could ask for it to be set aside and thereby faff for a few more weeks (entitling me to increase my claim by the extra interest) or thay can pay up.

 

The bank has acted unlawfully in taking this money from me and I will accept nothing short of 100% of my claim. During the times I went overdrawn the bank made more than enough profit from me in their overdraft fees and interest - the referral charges that were additionally levied do not represent the cost to the bank and are therefore unlawful.

 

I would be more than happy to go to court to achieve righteous resolution.

I have now recieved a letter from Cobbetts the solicitors in which they:

 

Inform me they have asked for the judgement to be set aside,

They present their standard defense,

They ask for info in relation to CPR18.

 

I intend to allow the set aside to be granted (this site appears to give opposite views on this - I prefer to allow it simply to avoid delay).

The defense seems to be a standard defense.

I will respond to the CPR 18 request by saying it doesn't relate to small claims so will not provide, but if the court ask for it, I would happily give it. I will send Cobbetts the spreadsheet showing what charges I want repaid and interest etc.

 

Should I be copying in the court on all this?

I think this is the best way to procede but any suggestions gratefully recieved.

Cheers, C.

I intend to send this letter to Cobbetts unless anyone can say why I shouldn't?:

 

 

I am writing regarding correspondence received from you recently consisting of your defence and request for further information in accordance with CPR part 18.

 

As you are probably aware CPR part 18 is not applicable to claims under the small claims track, and only the court can ask for this information so I will not comply with your request.

I am more than willing to provide the requested information if the court deems it necessary.

 

I am, however, enclosing a breakdown of the charges I believe to be unlawfully levied against me which, as I have explained to the bank, are referral charges and charges relating to unpaid items such as Direct Debits and Cheques.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Please let me know if you think I should include/exclude anything.....

Thanks.

You dont have to let them.....and it may not go that far anyway.

 

I am aware two claims where full settlements were offered prior to set aside hearings.

 

I think threads are just not being updated because some are agreeing to clauses of silence....which is a great shame because banks are paying up in spite of non agreement to silence.
