    • 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 im a little new to this and im hoping i have started it of correctly, before i knew about this site i started the procedure through the BBC News Business website with their first template letter which is the same as your prelim letter. My claim is also to lloyds for 2'400 and change, should i be telephoning them to make sure they have recieved as i sent on monday 9th or just leave it to take its course till the 14 days and then send the next letter. I have since been charged 200 because without notification they stopped my overdraft and 3 of my dd's went unpaid , i had it reinstalled after 4 days and they apologised but they are still charging me. Im not happy

Screw 'em Poppy, if they don't reply to your letters it's their hard luck!! As long as you send them recorded delivery so that there is proof of delivery it's fine. Make sure you send them to the correct address; as above!!

Hi Tanz

 

Just been reading your thread from start to glorius end ! great stuff.

 

I also made the same mistake with MCOL as you, dont you feel a right prat at time ? and I also struggled to get my refund of £120 after making a new claim.

 

They told me to do exactly the as you, but then mucked about with the refund, but after several strong e-mails I got it in the end !

 

I am now at Court date point, 29th June 2007, cant wait, however after reading defence [problem] sent you for Lloyds, I am getting a bit nervous now !

 

The claim I am progressing is for my sons account, he is in the Royal Navy and away a lot so I agreed to do it for him, therefore I am not a customer of Lloyds as such, although I do have access to his account as a signatory for cheques and withdrawals etc, do you fink this may be a get a out of jail card for Lloyds ?

If he has agreed formally for you to do this then it may be ok, I recall someone else in a similar situation one of there relatives was working abroad and they sent over some signed blank letters and the other person just typed the letters out and sent them off. This is ok if you don't have to go to court, it may be worth ringing your local court to see what steps you can take to be able to legally do it for him.

That was me! :D I sent my son four address headed letters with Yours Faithfully at the bottom and got him to sign them and return to me. Also I did send him an official form another time as GaryH said he would need to sign as it was a legal document going to the Court and I could not sign on his behalf. Son then returned it duly signed and I took to local Court. The blank address headed letters I sent him came in very handy too.

 

I am about to send the Witness Statement to him this week - once we get the official documentation from the Court. I got the Court date by phoning them on Friday 13th (!) to ask...............28th June 10am!

 

Hope you are successful with your son. Suppose this is what being a parent is all about:???: ;) .

Hi Tanz & amber ellie

 

Fanx for the replies, will try the court for further advice.

 

My son did send a letter some ago to his branch manager, stating that he gives me full authority for all matters appertaining to his account, be it financial, legal, and representation in court if required. Just hope this holds water.

 

He also sent the prelimonary letters up to LBA stage himself, however for some unknown reason Lloyds replied to the LBA to me, stating the the case was being passed to Andover, I then took this that they have invited me to respond and join the happy throng which I am only to pleased to do.

 

Also all his bank statements have been addressed to me since March 2005, when he was away in Iraq, and I still recieve them today in my name, and although I am a signatory on the account it is not a joint account. :confused:

 

Anyway will keep you all posted, FANX again.

 

Big Man:cool:

 

Gary H , if you spot this post, your comments would be very appreciated.
