    • 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.

Hello everyone I am in desperate need of some advice.

We have a second eviction booked in for Friday and a court hearing two hours before !

 

This is a second eviction the first was suspended as we made a payment of just under £3000 and a payment arrangement however as it was double the arrears amount and my husband was unable to gain employment we defaulted again.

 

We are now in a position that he started a new job this week we have a budget worked out with cab have made cutbacks to be able to offer £447 towards arrears as well as our mortgage payment of £780

 

We also have accepted an offer on our house through an agent and the buyers want to complete in under five weeks

 

There is £80,000 equity in the property

 

We also have four children ageing from 3 months to 7

 

I'm so scared we are going to lose our home I filed a n244 form before contacting cab I did not know I could even apply to the court I have emailed the solis acting for our mortgage lender and they refused our offer to repay at £447 a month and a lump sum on the 6th dec. said all the money or nothing. Basically said your fault you agreed to high repayment and your only option is to be evicted.

 

I have filled in the n244 form and submitted evidence is there anyone I could send this to for a second opinion?

 

If be so grateful for any advice / thoughts

I hope it will too.

 

Some lenders are so awful they'd want to take your house even if you were selling it and could pay 48 hours later. And Evershed's are mean.

 

If you don't get a response tonight please don't worry. As you've been reading the threads you'll realize that a lot can be achieved in 24 hours. :-)

The other thing about Evershed's is that you sometimes think you are speaking to a solicitor and you are speaking to someone with no qualifications at all.

 

I once took British Gas to court for wrecking my house because the dope at Evershed's who represent BG just didn't get it. It was only when I actually issued proceedings that it escalated and a solicitor called me to sort it out.

Hi there, what did you put in Q.10 of the N244 ?

 

Do you have the offer from your buyer in writing? any documentation from the conveyancing solicitor ?

Hi I did a statement explaining why we are in arrears information on the house sale and our new budget sheet which we got from cab

 

Also included a job offer letter a sale memorandum which states to be complete within four weeks and a email for solis saying they are acting for us and have all documents they need to proceed :-/ I can send you copies if you would like

If you have submitted these documents with your N244 then I am sure you will be ok. When the judge sees that you have a sale agreed and a new job I cannot see how possession would be given to the lender. Do you know if there are any duty legal advisers at your court on the day of the hearing? If there are you can approach them and they will accompany you into the hearing and support your case.

I'm worried I may have missed vital points and babbled on too much.

Also today eversheds finally replied to my email saying despite us explaining out situation sending proof I am offer and that my husband is in new employment and is in a position to pay a lump sum on the 6th dec and monthly payments plus an extra 447 a month towards arrears they said they had contacted Santander and they want full payment or we will be evicted.

I have tried to negotiate previously and sent a copy of my husbands work offer. But it has done no good.

I have asked but there will not be any in as only have them

On a Monday and Tuesday in our court.

 

Thankyou so much for replying. Do you think the judge will take into account If he gave possesion that we have children and less then two hours until the balliff would come and throw us out?

I honestly don't think you will be evicted - you have a sale agreed on your house and a new job which means you can pay the mortgage and some of the arrears until the sale completes. Is the CAB not able to provide someone to go to the hearing with you ?
