    • 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 bella, and welcome to the CAG.

before you start anything, take your time and check out the site, in particular the FAQ's.

if your claim is about lloyds, then post it in the lloyds section http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/lloyds-bank/

get to know what your'e doing and in what order, but above all remeber your surrounded by friends who will help if they can. you only have to ask.

Good luck

Please note that although my advice is offered, you should consult your legal representative before taking ANY action.

Hi and welcome Bella, you should claim for it all, until such time as they declare they administrative costs, which aint gonna happen lol, anyway I will ask for this to be moved to the relevant forum where other Lloyds "customers" will be able to help and advise :-)

Hi everyone

Happy new year to all

 

Latest on Lloyds letter back saying that we cannot claim 'because the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts & Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 do not apply because we are a business customer and the Regulations and the Act only apply to consumers" Now the letter I sent was as per the Consumers Forums - Business Claims quoting "unlawful at Common Law".

 

So are they trying to bamboozle me with jargon or should I still go for it????

 

Kind regards to all

Hi Everyone

 

Just had reply from LLoyds (different person this time - Rosie Queen)saying that "we believe its fair to charge you for the extra services you've asked for, as long as you know about the charges in advance" and that "they are not prepared to agree to adjust any of these charges"

 

They then suggest that if still unhappy with their "final" response to go to Financial Ombudsman Service.

 

Is this where I issue court summons bearing in mind the current situation

or what to do next - getting a bit scared now!!

 

Regards

Hi All,

 

Just getting "Letter before Action" sorted but small point do I send it to original local bank or back to (Rosie in Andover - who is obviously in charge of sending the standard "we are not going to pay you" letters) and the same question applies to court claims - should it be to local bank or Andover branch.

 

Thanks again for helping out

 

Love

 

Bella

Hi everyone

Help please - I've had a reply from LLoyds defence solits denying basis of claim (no surprise there then!)because it is statue barred (??) and that section 5 of Limitation Act 1980 states that an Action can not be brought after expiration of six years (I know that but as I had first started the claim Dec 07 for period from Feb 01 to May 02 I thought I was still in the time frame) Was I wrong or are they right - they state" that should I fail to withdraw claim,we are liberty to strike out claim at which you may be liable for costs in bringing proceedings" What to do now- having paid for costs of summons and the total amount was for £727.50 could I end up being very much out of pocket. I"m sure others must have had these letters but I'm not sure whether to just quit now - help pleeese

luv Bella the Cat
