    • 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.

I have received a second letter from Tommy Mac for the full amount....BUT it is attatched with a condition that they reserve th right to make future charges and basically asking me to sign to say I won't claim again. Now I know it isn't worth the paper it is written on but do I sign to accept the amount and thus say that I won't claim again. Does this actually hold any legal weight at all or should I just say that I refuse to accept this condition and take them to court?

what I did was throw away their form but send a letter saying i accepted the refund and specified that i accepted it for the charges specifically mentioned between 2 dates and that I reserved the right to seek the refund of charges outwith this period. waiting to see what happens. I also put a 7 day deadline for them to refund the cash into my account. I would have accepted it but the owe me anoth £3000 after this refund so not settling £955

Ok Peeps how does this read?? If ok I will return to Tommy Mac

 

I acknowledge your offer of £xxx.xx, which I am prepared to accept as final payment in this particular claim. However, I do not accept any further conditions imposed by the Royal Bank of Scotland that may in fact be unlawful at Common Law, Statute and recent consumer regulations and I reserve the right to make future attempts to recover this money. I will give you seven further days to consider this offer before I reserve the right to take further action that I have previously stipulated.

Take the offer, and keep your account in check, otherwise you will get tied in with the others and there court wrangles.

 

Kevinjay I have took on board what you have said and it would be easier just to take the money and run. My point is that I don't see how they can expect us to sign a legal right away just to claim what is ours. I have tried to keep my account in check, over the past umpteen months but still been walloped for £120, which according to the OFT should have been £36, in the 3 instances it happened. The point is that people do go overdrawn simply because S/O's, debits etc don't come out when you expect them too and it is this which has bumped me over. I am claiming what is in fact a very small amount compared to some others on here.
