    • 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.

...something they will be getting quite used to soon! ;)

 

Perhaps it's time to start packing the Shipping Crates for the long overdue move back to America then?

 

Cheers,

BRW

 

Let's hope so BRW, slowly but surely.............we will get them.

One of the things the judge did say to me as we were leaving the courtroom was that if Amex didn't pay or remove the default to come back and see him, and he would enforce it - unless of course they go bust like the rest of America :lol:

 

It really amazed me today as to how much they wanted to settle, so for anyone in a similar position to me, it really is worth it to continue to the end, they obviously really believed that they didn't have a leg to stand on?

 

Just annoys me that they couldn't do the reasonable thing at the beginning and that they thought they could bully me. How many people who don't know about CAG get a summons and panic and then either ignore it, or don't know what to do and then lose, and suffer the consequences for years. :-x

Hello Pandora!

 

With your permission, could this Thread be moved to the Amex Forum, i.e. to give encouragement to others who are in mid-battle and in need of a little light at the end of their Tunnel?

 

If you agree, just click the Red Triangle on any Post and ask a member of the Site Team to move the Thread where it can hopefully now do some more good.

 

It will soon get lost in the Legal Forum, and now that you have Won, it would be nice to see it drop neatly into place over at the CAG Amex Forum.

 

Cheers,

BRW

 

 

Edit: Moved back to Amex already

Agree with BRW and thread put back in Amex forum.

 

Hopefully a band is waiting to play triumphantly and there'll be cocktail sossies and cheesy/pineapple cubes. ;)

Sadly I am not back on the forum to make my donation - the payment from Amex was due by 4.00pm on 14th April...... I generously gave them a couple of extra days to allow for the Easter break / postal delays, but still no payment from Amex.......

 

So I guess it will be a letter to Bracher's to remind them their client is now in breach of a court order..... or perhaps speak to the court tomorrow and see what they can do....

It would be very entertaining to send in the bailiffs..... the DJ did say if they didn't pay up then go back and see him, and he'd enforce it.... I didn't get a chance to phone the court today, but will be doing so on Monday.

 

I am also writing to each of the CRA's with a copy of the judgement to let them know that they have to remove any defaults immediately - just in case Amex haven't managed to put pen to paper - I guess they're busy instructing Bracher's to make complete idiots of themselves.....

If you do have to go back to the DJ to get the enforcement order give them a bloody nose from me :D:D Please!

Just as I thought this was fully sorted out - I received a letter today from the Director of Collections no less, requesting payment of the account and offering a settlement:-o..... maybe I should just return their letter with a copy of the court order!!!!

 

Any thoughts on this?

 

The CRA's no longer have any data regarding Amex on my files, I have received the money agreed to in court, what can Amex do now?

 

Thanks

Pandora

Hi PN,

 

Let's hope they've made a silly error here.

 

I'd send them copies of their letter and of the court's judgement, tell them to ensure their records are updated and to not bother you with this again.

 

Tell them you'll lodge a formal complaint with the FOS and you'll seek compensation if they trouble you again.
