    • 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 received my defence papers this week which included the CPR Part 18 bit which I know from reading here is not right for small claims so today I contacted The Law Society regarding this.

 

I had a very nice conversation with them and they have provided me with a course of action to follow.

 

1) Contact Cobbetts and ask why they have included this in their defence and get their reasons in writing.

 

2) This is the problem bit - when it gets to court (and we all know about that) but if it gets to court raise this with the judge. The judge will then make comment on the fact that Cobbetts have been using a defence which they know is wrong and is an abuse of their knowledge

 

3) Once I have this from the Judge I can go back to the Law Society and they will invesigate to see if Cobbett have been abusing their power and taking unfair advantage.

 

I have tried to contact Cobbetts to get their point of view about this but just gone to voicemail, will keep on trying and will let you know if I get through.

 

But thought if anyone else is close to court date they should try and get anknowledgement from Cobbetts as to why they feel this defence is correct. Even if you prove that this has been ask, you can ask the Judge to comment

 

Apologies if I am repeating this and someone else has done this before but couldn't see it posted anywhere. I just feel that if Cobbetts are doing things wrong to gain an unfair advantage they should be held accountable

This is something that has been ongoing for weeks.

Boith Rbs and Nat West claimants have had the same.

As i understand it one claimant is collecting names to do a bulk complaint to the LS I know that Cobbetts are aware of this yet still continue to do it.

Thing is Cobbetts know it wont get as far as you and them in front of the Judge.

To my mind this is why they continue to do it.

Quite a few claimants have written to the court after getting this request including myself,as they even warned of an application for a strike out .

I am interested in contacting the Law Society about Lloyds solicitors; Sechiari, Clark and Mitchell. They tick the box in AQ which asks if you want more time to try to settle but not in order to conduct any meaningfull negotiation but simply to prolong the process. They also routinely ask to avoid a whole month (for example November) because they are not going to be available for court dates.

This is a blatant, obnoxious attempt to string us out and we are not amused :(

hi, i have received a letter from cobbetts which appears to be the same stating that the defendant is embarrassed at th lack of particulars pleaded and that if i dont resolve it than they will apply to the court for an order to strike out the particulars of the claim. also i am suiong the rbos yet this letter has arrived with the national westminster as the defendant. trying to put my case together so i can get to the court and pay my £100 to start it rolling. already paid £120 to nothampton court who have now moved it to my local one who now want another £100, still i will get it all back.
