    • 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.

upon reading file

It is ordered that

The case be tranfered to the mercantile court

dated 15th november 2006

 

I'm thinking of phoning Adrian Ruffhead who defended my claim to see if they want to settle in full before having to go to court.

 

What does anyone think.

hi genesco

 

we are in exactly the same boat! case moved from bow court to mercantile court. I am the same as you i have no idea why this has happened. I was on the cag chat room last night and was told that this is being transferred to a court specialising in finance "mercantile". i was also informed that this is great news for me as the courts are looking to make a test case ie get the banks to court to disclose thier charges. now that the case has been transferred to the mercantile court the solicitors will look to payup earlier than normal due to the seriousness of the court status!..

 

When i find something a little more concrete i will post it on this forum, i also hope that if you find some information you will post it on my forum..

 

By the way how much is your claim? what bank? and when did you start the ball rolling...

 

good luck

Read through this forum first before deciding waht action to take. My case is up for Mercantile as well and yes there are bigger risks involved and it is a higher court able to set precedent but my advice would be to hold tight and see what the next move is from the bank.

First Direct - Settled in full :eek:

Lloyds TSB - AQ completed Central London CC :confused:

RBS - Settled in full :p

Morgan Stanley - Settled in full :lol:

Capital One - Settled in full ;-)

Just a quick update, barclays settled in full before I even got a court date. When I finally got my court date It was for 15th December.

 

I phone Barclays when I got the letter of it being tranfered to the mercantile court an they informed me that they were sending me out a letter to settle.

 

£1200+ SO I WON! YIPPEEEEEE.

I have now emailed the mercantile courts my satisfied settlement letter.

Hi Nikkil, do not phone the solicitors to settle. Which Mercantile Court have you been transferred to? The Court will allocate a Case Management Hearing as a matter of course, there is a letter I wrote to request my own on my thread in the mercantile forum. Do some reading on the forum. There is a great guide to the hearings at the Mercantile Court. And finally we are all here to help you. You may find that Abbey settle before you get to the court point but they should make you the offer first really.

Hi Donbracho, calculator posted a excellent reference to the Merc, check the Leeds Merc thread, i think its pages 8 and onwards ! if your case has been transferred then I think you are near the end of the tunnel ! (e.g you can see the light at the end of the long dark tunnel as the banks do not want to turn up at the Merc !)

Bottom line is as previous threads say, The courts are even hoping someone will make a test case. Friend of mine (legal) told me even the courts are getting fed up with all the cases going to court(or not as the case seems). Its up to you but me personally i'd do nothing and wait, the banks will write to when you get a date as they don't want to go into court either. Hang on in there!
