    • 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 there, I have amended your statement to include the request not to allow Paratus costs.

 

You need to assemble the pack for court as follows:

 

N244 - signed

Statement - signed

Copies of emails - your offer of payment and their rejection and request for lump sum

Budget sheet

Wage slip

 

Make sure you take a copy of it all before stapling all the above securely and taking to the court. Remember to take the court fee of £50 in cash. When you hand it in to court ask if there are any duty legal representatives at court on the day of your hearing. You can ask for their assistance and they will accompany you into the hearing and support your case.

No. I completely forgot until I was half way home. Its a 25 mile round trip so I didnt go back.

 

Can you give them a ring this afternoon? I think they'll close 3 or 4pm though

Will do. Just received a letter from Paratus dated yesterday confirming what the email said regards rejection and lump sum. Then next paragraph says ' we are committed to helping wherever possible, please contact to discuss alternative option'. Ive emailed to ask what these option might be.

They think they are covering themselves by stating they are committed to assisting you (by rejecting your reasonable offer?) I don't think so ! - and hopefully neither will the judge.

Ive had a reply to my email re alternative options. It just said the alternative was stated in the letter, its now in the hands if the judge and we will be opposing your offer. What a load of rubbish. I will be taking the letter and email with me on Monday for the judge.

Ive now just received at text from Paratus saying that tomorrow is the last day I can make the payment of £1250!! Yet previously they had told me as long as I make it before the eviction date it would be ok. A bank transfer is in their account in 2 hrs. Is this more scare tactics?

Hi, get to the court as early as you can and see if there are any duty legals there - if so approach them and ask for their support.

 

I'm sure you will be ok - stay strong.

Hi. SUCCESS!!! The duty legal was fantastic. She put forward my case...I never had to say anything other than Thankyou! She had spoken to the rep from Paratus beforehand. She said I had a good case but obviously no guarantees. Judge was fair and pleasant. When we left the duty legal and I spoke with the solicitor representing Paratus who was lovely. She said she thought my offer towards the arrears was too high and if at any time it isnt manageable to apply to the judge to have it reduced. She said I had to do and say what Paratus has told her but knew he would suspend. Thankyou to everyone who has helped and for your kind words.

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
