    • 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.

A legend has grown up that Egg always digs in, and nobody can beat the Egg. This is untrue, Egg have caved in time and again and offered full refund, but attaching a confidentiality condition each time.

 

All who have been offered full refund are invited to briefly describe their success. As postings will be under anonymous forum names this action will not breach the confidentiality agreement -- unless any legal eagle knows different.

 

The jungle of Egg threads have grown to such volumes that it is hard to keep up. Suggest this thread be used like a quick index to navigate to other threads with full details -- the sheer number of successes will encourage others being put through the same ordeal by Egg.

 

Egg is in retreat. Lets turn it into a rout.

No offence to anyone, but if you let them attach a confidentiality clause to your settlement, you are letting them build that legend.

 

There is no reason whatsoever to let any bank attach any conditions to your claim. YOU are the claimant, THEY are the defendant, and there is no legal or moral reason whatsoever to accept them setting conditions to refunding you YOUR money.

 

Out of all the bank claims on my sig, all but one of them tried to impose confidentiality. I refused on every one of them. And got my money on every one of them.

Joa mentioned in his thread that Egg has switched law firms and now Egg appears to be falling into line, refunding like other institutions and no longer fighting to the last ditch wasting everybody's time -- cheers to all still going through the process.

 

Apparently Egg insists on a confidentiality agreement in every case, hence we have heard but a fraction of the success stories, without the heart-warming names and figures. No way can open secrets be covered up for long.

 

Message to Egg -- please pull your finger out of the dyke. The deluge is coming in spite of you.

Johnnie Reclaim - won on 21st December 2006.

With the greatest respect to you Mistermind, I have not won!

 

Egg have offered a settlement figure to me which is incorrect, bound by unacceptable terms. Therefore I am unable to accept Egg's offer.

 

The battle is not over in my case!

 

Mistermind, I can appreciate that by compiling a list of successful Claimants may provide great encouragement to others, but obviously the list has to be correct. Your statement: "Angry Cat won on 30th December 2006" is wrong, I have not won but simply been offered an amount of money.

 

As soon as the Courts re-open, I intend to amend my Claim and or, issue a further Claim against Egg.

 

No offence intended.

Thank you Angry but Polite Cat, there is no greater compliment to a thread than an inaccuracy pointed out by readers.

 

Painting an impression on New Years Eve, the ranks of the Allied forces are massed outside the Brandenburg Gate, and the lawbreakers are hiding and squirming in the underground bunker unable to face unconditional surrender.

On a different note, I read in Betfair forum the following interesting posting re delaying tactics, i.e. having settled in other similar cases, what is the bank's intention in making as if it wants to fight another case -- apart from dragging out the process as long as possible, and intimidating claimants who are laymen at law!

Such blatant time wasting will not be tolerated by the court.

spacer.gifIn Lincoln, a district judge put on the orders the following

 

IT IS ORDERED THAT

 

The Court of its own motion is considering striking the Defence out as an abuse of process on the basis that it has settled all previous claims of this nature. If the Defendant objects to this course of action it is to file at Court within 14 days, a Schedule setting out a list of all claims it has pursued to trial and all claims it has settled.

Hi,

 

I know some people were also trying to get their default removed. Has that happened to anyone who has won his or her case?

 

 

Thanks,

Plus:-

 

18th January... 2007 - Schnide (without confidentiality clause)

 

Because my Court hearing is on Monday 29 January, I really need the Claim Numbers plus amounts & date of the winning Claimants!

 

I have trawled the Litigants Concluded forum and the only Egg Claimant showing that I can find on that forum is maroonfox5 that has had their Claim settled.

 

It would really help me and other future Claimants against Egg, if the County Court Claim Numbers plus amount claimed could be added to your roll of honour. Obviously, the members Claim Numbers, who accepted the confidentiality clause should not be added.

Dear pussycat,

 

With your hearing on Monday there is hardly much time left, and not everyone visits this site every day. To ensure making contact in time, I would have thought it best for yourself to send a PM with as much tact as urgency, to the 3 winners who were happy to make public their unconditional victory. Best of luck!

 

I have always got on well with cats, so am not scared of same.

But to the Egg I say: be afraid, be very afraid.

Possession may be nine points of the law,

but the tenth point has arrived -- repossession by bailiffs:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=430129&in_page_id=1770&in_page_id=1770&expand=true#StartComments

Customer sends bailiffs in to seize bank's computers

Declan Purcell: Striking a blow for the customer

 

A man who was fed up with paying massive bank charges decided to give one of the high street giants a taste of its own medicine. When Royal Bank of Scotland refused to refund £3,400 charges that Declan Purcell believed he was owed, he sent in the bailiffs.

Stunned customers at his branch of RBS watched as debt collectors seized four computers, two fax machines and a till filled with cash. The branch manager was told that the items would be sold unless RBS came up with the money owed to Mr Purcell. Only when the manager gave an undertaking that the debt would be paid did the bailiffs leave.

Mr Purcell said: "I think the bank was pretty shocked when the bailiffs went in. But my view is that this is exactly what they would have done to me." The move, which will raise a cheer from millions of other bank customers, is part of a consumer fightback against bank charges, which net an estimated £4.5 billion every year.

Every time a current account customer goes overdrawn by as little as £1 most banks will charge around £28, even though the administration cost is only about £4.50. Then every cheque, direct debit, or card transaction that goes through or is bounced incurs another charge of up to £38. The Office of Fair Trading is investigating whether banks have implemented these charges unlawfully. The Daily Mail's Fair Play on Charges campaign and that run by the Consumer Action Group have helped thousands reclaim charges in the past year.

Like other customers Mr Purcell, 48, from East London, had warned his bank that he was prepared to go to court to claim back charges he believes were imposed unlawfully. In June last year he demanded the refund of £3,400 charges he accrued during the previous six years while running a motorcycle dealership. RBS ignored the claim so in October Mr Purcell filed an online application to get the money back through the county court.

 

After 30 days the bank had not responded and so on December 10 the court ruled in Mr Purcell's favour. It ordered RBS to pay the charges and £120 court costs. When RBS again failed to respond Mr Purcell got the court to give him a warrant of execution, allowing him to order debt collectors to reclaim items from the bank equal in value to the amount he was owed.

Finally on Monday, January 8, a team of debt collectors walked into the busy Camden Town branch in North London, demanded to see the manager, showed their court order and announced that they were repossessing items.

Mr Purcell, who now works for London Underground, said: "I was dismayed by the bank's reaction when I made my claim for a refund – it was so rude and arrogant. They thought they were above the law, so it is great to know that customers can use the law in the same way the bank does to get money they are owed."

A spokesman for RBS said: "We are looking into this as a matter of urgency, but early indications suggest that unfortunately due to an administrative error, the bank failed to defend the claim leading to a default judgment being obtained on the branch and a resulting warrant. "The confusion was cleared up at the branch."

Marc Gander, who set up campaign website Consumer Action Group, which helps consumers get refunds from their banks, said: "I am quite sure that Mr Purcell will not be the last person to send bailiffs in to his bank. The continued operation by UK high street banks of their unlawful charges regimes will see to that. "The heavy-handed debt collecting approach is something that the banks have been handing out to their customers for years. Mr Purcell simply gave them a bit of their own back."
