    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

I have calculated this morning, the total charges thw Woolwich have made n the last 6 years. To my sickening surprise, the total came to just over £12,000 excluding any interest that may be due.

Obviously I would like to have these charges refunded. I've read through the useful info on the MSE site and because my claim is more than 'small claims' (over £5K), this makes my claim more complicated. Doesn't it?

 

What should I do? and do you think I have a chance?

Hiya,

 

I have just come accross a simular problem (not quite as much) as my 6yrs charges came to £6800. I have been advised to claim twice. One up to £5000 and the other for £1800 after the woolwich have settled the first claim.

 

Keep me up to date with how you get on and I will as well. (my post is the one wanting to take my boys on holiday).

 

Good luck

Phil

I have had a lack of understanding and appreciation from Woolwich especially over the last 3 years. They just didn't want to listen. They took they're charges each month without offering any suggestions of help.

 

I want to take them for the full amount, plus interest. I know they may be some outlay from myself and it may be a battle.

 

I would like some advise from anyone who may be able to help and guide me.

 

Thanks.

Do a search for Molly-in-the-trolley. She had a claim with First Direct and I think it was 8K!!!!

 

She signed a confidentiality agreement so hasn't posted since, but it makes for interesting reading. Hope it helps xxx

This is a situation of choice. You can claim the whole lot in one go, but if you lost you would be liable for the other sides cost. If you look at the probability of loosing, you will find that if you follow the tried and tested method you are unlikely to loose, therefore it is probably worth going for, however there are no gaurentees and no one knows what the banks have up their sleaves.

 

Have a really good read around the site, you will find others that have claimed large amounts such as your and received settlement.

I am ready to start the ball rolling today. First I will need to get data from Woolwich re all the charges, approx £12,000. And thenI need to add the interest which may be as much as £3,000.

I really do need some advise as to what to do for the next stage.

How much will this cost me?

Will I win?

Is it worth going fo?

Please help.

I now reside in Scotland and am owed just over £3000 from The Woolwich. Due to the Scottish small claims laws I can only claim £750 through small claims procedure. I have had to break my total amount owed into smaller amounts and claim them one at a time. It is a pain but will be worth it, I wonder if you can do the same thing through the English system breaking down your claim into £5000 amounts at a time? Just a thought! will keep an eye on your thread with interest!

Have you read the FAQ's? You should spend a few days if not weeks really reading through various threads and the FAQ's, when you have done a lot of reading, it will be a lot clearer :D
