    • 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 guys,

 

New here but thought this was best place to start.

 

I was director of company for 2 years with other 2 partners (who were brothers). 1 of the partners was secretary and in charge of accounts etc, but in July both wanted me to buy them out and I accepted and they effectively resigned.

 

I never had dealings with statements and letter prior to this time and it was only when in December when I had a cheque returned with a letter stating that cheque returned by legal order that I discovered that the account was emtied by the bank as it cannot be run if the limited company had dissolved, and that accounts were not filed at companied house for past 2 years and that the company had therefore been dissolved. Now this has meant the bank had effectively closed the business account with a few thousand in there, and obviously had it in their treasury.

 

I have tried contacting bank but they NEVER call back and I can never get through to the right people for advice on how to proceed and get this money out, if at all.

 

I contacted the accountants and they said they have not seen the other directors since January and could only say they could re-instate the limited account if I provide them with a full 2 years accounts and it would cost me around £1,200 plus their fee's on top which would take it to around £2,500+.

 

So my question is, is there any way to get this money out without it costing me £2,500 or is it lost to the bank or the crown for good?

 

Thanks in advance and sorry for ther long-winded text

I was in a similar situation 20 years ago with company struck off due to none filing.

 

I believe the funds end up with Duchy of Lancaster unless your business is in Cornwall. Mine occurred due to our accountants error. i remember it took a long time to resolve. I hope things are quicker now but i suspect not.

 

Companies House normally notify directors of their intentions. If this hasn't happened I suspect that your not on the Company Register.

 

Depending upon whether the former director's properly resigned it could be a mess.

 

You'll have to bring the accounts and minutes up to date. I guess there will be a couple of £500 or £1000 fines in the system for the late filing.

 

Companies House really are tinkers.

ok, thanks.

 

If there was a letter of intention then I did not get to read it and the ex-directors are no longer in the area and have since moved to another part of the country I believe.

 

Will have to do more research on this and get some answers from the bank if they speak to me..
