    • 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 all.

 

Here I am, still knocking around. Quick help needed, if you please?

 

I am taking Clydesdale CC to SCC, spent 25mns talking to drones, not one of them was capable of giving me the correct address fr service (!).

1 - Does anyone know where to send it?

2 - If it turns out to be HO, which is in Glasgow, am I right that I can still pursue them in England using the "out of jurisdiction" CPR rule?

 

Thanks in advance, folks.

HI Bookworm - Why are you taking them to court? :)

 

Long story short, I used my card in Spain for a hire car. The hire car company added their "extra" insurance without me noticing, the amount I saw going off was, I thought, what they usually "block" in case of accident to make sure you have enough funds. As the card was new, I didn't have a PIN for it, so they made me sign on a digital screen.

 

When the money didn't unblock on my account after a couple of weeks, I contacted the broker, who then advised that I had bought the extra insurance. (yeah, right)

 

I contacted Clydesdale to raise a dispute, but they would have none of it, their standard response was "you signed for it", even though I told them it had been done fraudulently, asI would never have taken the extra insurance. How can I prove this? Well, I have an annual "reduce your excess waiver" policy, which covers precisely the extortionate amount hire car companies usually try to get you to take out as "additional cover". Why on Earth would I agree to pay £250 for something I buy for £35 per year here?

 

So, instead of suing the hire car company, which is in Spain, and therefore practically immune from justice, I am going after Clydesdale, arguing breach of their fiduciary duty. They never even examined my claim of fraud, they just went with the "there's your signature, you agreed to it" attitude, despite me repeatedly pointing out to them they had a duty to at least investigate.

 

There'll also be a couple of £12 charges on top, as the £250 amount would have cleared my balance, so I didn't pay attention to the postal statements they sent me (Clydesdale doesn't do online checking for credit card customers, only if you also have a bank account with them, which is another complaint I have with them, but that's a different topic) and didn't realise I was supposed to pay something that month, so they slapped me with a late payment charge. I'm not having that kind of behaviour, thank you very much. :-p

so they refused a section 75 too?

oppss that's not good for them if they did.

its exactly what section 75 is there for...

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...
