    • 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.

Just started out thanks on these ogres. So thanks for such a detailed thread.

 

You stood your ground good on ya, hopefully they will start to see the unnecessary expense of appearing in court and time allowed on these claims and start paying sooner like the banks, then no one will have to stand in court.

 

Hope you enjoy the cash you sooooo earned it:) ;)

I've just followed this thread in detail, fantastic outcome.

 

I fell behind with my mortgage with GMAC it went to CC for reprossession. The gmac rep told my rep that gmac do not make deals and that they would fight for total repossession. My rep was the local authority housing solicitor on duty in the court that day. She was very good.

 

I have to pay a little extra each month untill I repay the arrears, but now I see that each month my account has been in arrears I have a charge of £50 + a fee for no dd being set-up. This is more than the extra that I have to pay each month and in such a case my account will never get out of arrears. The cc judge said that there would be another look at the case in six months.

 

I thrilled by the outcome of your case and will be pursuing gmac myself now.

 

Many, many thanks!!!

Course they are just scare tactics - what rubbish about the court won't look favourably cos it' your fault - if they are that sure then why offer 50%?

I suggest you PM zoot who will no doubt help you by writing one of her superb letters which will leave them in no doubt as to who is int he right!

Update...

 

Prepared bundle with Bookworms guidance. 14 day deadline is today. Posted bundle yesterday and received by court in time. Nothing from Eversheds, however. No surprise there. What happens if they miss deadline for documents? I sent a copy of my bundle to them and also in my letter suggested, as per judges order, that settlement be made to avoid court time. A little nudge may not hurt.

 

What I do want to know is who are the others on the same date? do the mods know of anyone or anyway of finding out?

 

Sandy

 

how is the situation after todays ruling ?

i am gutted
