    • 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.

OK well im 21, i banked with Lloyds for just over a year. Everything was fine until i cashed a cheque. They managed to loose the cheque without telling me and susbquantly charged me £235 in charges for a number of rejected direct debits and bounced cheques. A couple of companies then additionally charged me for sending bounced cheques also, which left me financially struck for a couple of months. Lloyds tried to cover up there mistake and refused to wave the charges. to which i closed my account, in September 2006. Is there anyway i can now claim for the charges even though my account has been closed for so long? grr i hate this company so much!

Please share ur views! :mad:

Of course there is you start your claim immediately (although there may be a small delay due to the pending test case verdict). Do you have all your statements if so go straight to Preliminary request for repayment letter here

I hate loyds too... they have a horrible new charges system in place now... which gets you even more battered and bruised if you go overdrawn.

 

Good luck with claiming... there are lots of clever people on here that can help you on your way.

 

First thing first is to make a spread sheet up with all the charges. have you still got your old statements?? If not you will need to request them from your old bank.

Can you prove you banked the cheque?

If you can you should have no trouble.

Perhaps through small claims court?

Not an expert just an idea....

Good luck - theres no point in writing to them as they only ignore you even if sent recorded delivery - hence I suggest small claims court.

Make sure you have all your paperwork to back up your claim re all charges from Lloyds and other companies.

To issue a court claim without first asking for a refund of the charges is NOT to be recommended - should it ever get in front of a judge he would take a very dim view on that sort of behaviour
