    • 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’m getting so stressed over this.

 

My property management company are absolute swines.

 

They lost 2 payments I made to them totalling £120.00 ( 2x £60.00 payments)

 

I have given them evidence of the payments from my bank and they got every other payment.

They have added circa 800 in interest and fees.

 

They took it to court last year .

I defended gave courts all the evidence and it was struck out.

The courts also offered us costs which we didn’t pursue.

 

They have now instructed a solicitor to try and pursue this money .

I have given the Solicitors a copy of the court order

now the solicitor has sent through a statement saying that this is separate debt and it’s gone up to nearly 1200.

 

What appears to have happened is the property management company have diverted my payments against the interest charges and court costs and they are now saying I haven’t paid for 4 years

 

I’m so stressed and don’t know what to do. I’m crying and so stressed over this

 

Can anyone help

they cannot divert your payments to any the court costs or legal fees when they lost the case.

they should have been removed from your bills.

 

so likewise they cant add interest to those legal/sols fees sum nor can they latterly add additional penalty fees that are as a result of them mis-directing your payment.

 

name and shame please

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...

Company are called Pinnacle and the Solicitors are called Bretherons. I’m so upset but I had a feeling they are just lying.

 

They are threatening legal action again and I presume I just fight it again or are they within their rights to go back to court

no they cant if all what they have used your payments for was a failed court case

their charges/fees or whatever in relation to the failed case should have been removed - the case was dismissed.

Unfortunately you need to follow the complaint procedure.

 

Start by writing a formal complaint to the MC and the solicitor firm and attach the court order highlighting that their costs belong to them, not to you.

 

They lost in court, so they pay for their own costs.

 

Whatever they reply or if they don't reply within 8 weeks, report the MC to the housing ombudsman and the solicitor to the SRA.

 

That should get their attention.

 

Most importantly stay off the phone and communicate only in writing.

 

If they call you don't answer or tell them to write to you and put the phone down.

Heard back from ombudsman today, They won’t act as there was a court order issued already saying we don’t owe the money. They said I have to take legal action as they have refused to comply with a court order.

 

I’m at a loss as they are blocking my house sale unless I pay this money I don’t owe and I cannot afford a solicitor

They have to send a pack to the convencying solicitor and agreeing to the sale as per the terms of the leasehold element.

 

They are refusing to do that unless we pay

you have been advised so take court action against the bandits.

 

they will then have to either stop being stupid or pay dearly and that can be as much as the value of your lost sale.

 

Dont forget to include the monies they have unlawfully retained as a starting point

I am now, it’s lunacy. Unfortunately due to the amounts involved it’s going to cost more in the long run to take the court action however we should be able to recoup some of the costs back
