    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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

 

We purchased a used Mercedes about 2 months ago, and it was advertised as having full main dealer history.

 

We recently serviced it at a main dealer and it came to light that it doesn't have. Main dealer history however it seems to have been done at decent garages as it shows on merc systems that the services have been done when required.

 

I have taken this up with the dealer I purchased it from and they have offered £150 to settle the complaint. The vehicle is a 2014 plate. I have a recording of the call when I enquired about the car and v they said it had full main dealer merc history and also a copy of the video they made for me to see before I went to view it which also says full main dealer history on there too.

 

Would this be classed as mis selling and should I / could I go for more than £150?

You have to find out the difference in price between full main dealer history and backstreet garages history.

Then you ask for that price plus a bit more for having lied to you.

If they don't play ball, reject the car and tell them you want a full refund.

Anyhow, they told you that the car had fsh without showing you any documentation.

I would have walked away, why didn't you?

They showed us the service history printouts and were on Mercedes headed paper so we kind of trusted them.

 

The dealership is a big dealership with many mercedes and BMW dealerships etc so you would think the info they gave sad correct.

 

How do we find out the value of the history?

You should certainly find out the difference between a vehicle with a full history and one without.

I also think you need to calculate the difference in value between your vehicle as it is and if it was returned to the dealer so that it had one extra owner.

It may well be that you are entitled to reject the vehicle because it is not as described. The dealer would then have to take into account the reduction in value because he would then have a vehicle on his hands which should have an extra owner and extra mileage.

I think these considerations would prompt the dealer to offer much better than £150 which I think is a derisory figure anyway.

Who is the dealer and how much money did you pay?

Are you saying that they showed you a falsified service history?

Have you got a copy?

 

The dealer is inchape.

 

No not falsified copy but it seems as though maybe a duplicate copy of the history was printed at a mercedes dealer that's all.

So from reading the original post, The car still has a full service history, Just not a main dealer service history

 

For its service history to be on Mercedes's system, Then it must have been serviced at a Mercedes approved garage using original parts

 

i doubt there would be a huge price difference, Perhaps £50 a service
