    • 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

 

Am claiming £815 back from BOS and have sent my 'Preliminary Approach For Payment' Letter.

 

I have now received a reply within the 14 days, but as BOS has now merged with Halifax, the letter has come straight from Halifax PLC Customer Relations and there is no connection with BOS on the letter at all (There isn't even a BOS emblem, the address etc etc etc is all Halifax).

 

  • My question: Does this matter?!?!? My claim is against BOS who's head office is in Edinburgh, so should I continue contacting them or now deal with Halifax at the address on the letter I have received?

  • Also: They have said that 'A Customer Relations Manager will investigate the points you have raised and you will receive a reply shortly, but certainly no later than 4 weeks'. This is bulls**t, as they have 14 days to reply as I understand it, so should I send the next letter once the 14 days has passed?

Thanks for any advice!!

As far as i am aware it makes no difference to the case now they have merged with halifax, means the statements take a bit longer to recieve, and you get your mails from a leeds address.

 

Good luck with your case, im still waiting on the rest of my statements jsut now.

Stick to YOUR timetable. You are in charge. Not them. I'm at the exact same stage and their first lot of 14 days will have passed at the end of this week and it'll be letter before action time. Is it the HBOS logo that is on the correspondense? I'd just send your LBA to the same address you sent the first letter too as I'm sure it'll get to the appropriate person via their internal mail system anyway!

BOS

Claim No.3 for £589.75+8%, Decree received, Sheriffs Officers instructed to serve a charge 21/4!

Claim No.4:- claiming £1507.00, Court Papers submitted 5/4 !

The logo on the letter is just the Halifax one and there is NO mention of BOS at all.

 

I think I am going to send the 'Letter Before Action' on Monday when there 14 days is up and stay consistant and send all correspondence to the BOS Head Office address in Edinburgh . . .

 

Thanks for your help!
