    • 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,

 

Send my letter to BOS last wednesday (6th Dec) - ive had a CC with them for the past 10 yrs and been paying PPI and charges each and evey month. Not sure i've done it correctly but i have submitted both my data protection request giving the 40 days with 10 pounds and in the same letter requested my CCA agreement with 12 days notice and 1 pound fee (used the wording from somewhere else on this site). Once i posted it all, it dawned on me that perhaps they should have been seperate letters. Do you see any problem with this?

 

Anyway - no reply so far. Thing is, not sure how my claim is affected by the value of caliming back the PPI (i'm 100% sure i never agreed to PPI, in the 20 odd credit agreements i've had i have never had PPI) i think my PPI payments for the past 6 years will be around 5k and charges will have to run to well over 1.5k. But i guess i shouldnt jump the gun and should wait for their reply.

 

Also - i sent two cheques for payment, but this evening i found a post saying use postal orders, whys that?

 

I've waffled enough and will update you as and when. If this goes OK then i'll start looking at the other CC and accounts.

the use of postal orders is for a security reason so not to give bank account details to them i think.

Hi

 

Had a thought :roll: - can i claim for all the time it takes for me to compile my claim? So far i must have spent 10-15 hrs reading and doing background research. Although interesting, it's not really what i want to spend my time doing.

 

If i can claim for time, is there a standard rate or should i apply my contract work rate?

 

Thoughts please...................

one thought i have heard expressed on this subject is that if you claim for expenses so could the bank and in the event of you not winning the costs you would be liable for would be much larger than the costs you could claim as a lay person. as i say it is just one view i have heard expressed.
