    • 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 All,

 

I have only recently looked into the whole bank charges thing as my head has been thoroughly buried in the sand about my finance, any I digress.

 

I have just checked out my bank charges for the last six years and it is about £5000. I have sent an initial letter to the bank (two weeks ago) and I am yet to receive a reply (not that I expected one so soon).

 

I know there is a delay on all decisions until the test case has been heard by the House of Lords which as far as I can tell has not yet happened.

 

I am trying to get my 'case' dealt with by the bank straight away under the 'Financial Hardship' as from the criteria I have seen I would seem to qualify.

 

In the last 18 months both me any my partner lost our jobs and our new jobs pay less than half of what we were previously earning.

 

I am constantly have direct debits etc going unpaid due to lack of funds.

 

I currently have Payday loans with six (6) different companies paying a ridiculous amount of interest and am basically at the point where I am either going to get evicted or have a roof over my head and just not be able to eat/get to work etc.

 

I have read mixed messages about whether I have actually got a chance of getting anything and was wondering if anyone knows whether or not there is any chance at all?

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide!!

Don't bother about hardship. It is a red herring and the game is up for them anyway as the Supreme court will hand down its judgment next week.

 

You can claim all of your charges back to 1995 and you should set about doing it now. If you know what the charges are then send an LBA and then issue the cliam next Friday - the day after the judgment.

Can we all reclaim back from the start? Does the statute limits not apply?
