    • 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,

This is probably just me being paranoid, but just a little concerned about the terms RBoS of accepting their full & final settlement offer. Basically sent of prelim on 8/1/07 for charges on my account. On 20/1/07, rI eceived offer of repayment of full amount in full & final settlement as a 'goodwill gesture'. This is what they said:

 

Any charges that accrue in the future wil be applied to your account in line with our published tariff and in accordance with your agreement with the bank. Should you be unwilling to accept any such charges, then we may need to consider if we are prepared to continue to provide you with your existing banking facilities. Instead we may offer you a simple account that does not offer borrowing facilities or other services that can result in charges.

 

I know this is probably just an empty threat, but just a bit concerned that by accepting the full & final settlement, if I get any further charges in the future I wish to claim back, they might wave this in my face & say I agreed to them taking away my OD facility.

 

Also, should I fill in their form, or should I write to say I accept if I decide to do so?

 

The other thing is they refered to the T&Cs I agreed to when I opened the account. I was never given a copy of these, so in fact didn't agree to them. Is this right?

 

Any help greatly appreciated

Hi, I got the same letter! just filled in the slip they sent and posted it back. They might down grade your account, will let you know if it happens to me.

 

It is reasonable if your a Bank that you may wish to limit your liabilities in terms of charges incurred by customers like us, I guess :)

As I understand it they are saying that if you are charged in the future and claim again then they may close your account. If you simply incur charges and accept them then you are OK. Halifax has the same policy.

All comments are my personal views - if in doubt then seek professional advice. If you think i've helped then please tip my scales.

What I intend to do when I get my settlement is to put it into my savings account, with instructions left with the bank to dip into it if I'm ever in the situation where my main account might go overdrawn. At least I'll have that as a cushion if anything unexpected crops up.

 

Of course, they might just shut me down anyway but I have a parachute account set up just in case.

When you opened the account you will have signed to say you agree the T&C usually the small print. You can request a copy of them and rread them if you wish.

The bank has the right to recall the overdraft if they choose at anytime. They usually give you a perion of notice first.

You can claim further charges if they are levied in your account, please be aware that they are more likely to close your account if you continue to make claims.

If you don't want to accept the settlement on their terms then just write them a simple letter saying you accept the payment as full and final settlement of THIS claim and also add that should you occur excessive charges in future you will look to reclaim them again.

 

Should find a similar letter in my thread here
