    • 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

today I had a loud knock on the door and when i opened it there was a chap asking for my son told him he wasnt in as its was his birthday he then shoved a brown letter into my hand asked him what was this his reply was just give it to your son

Ithen guessed he he was a bailiff it was a notice of removal of goods

This was for a speeding fine that was paid in feb 09

what i would like to know is can they do this enter my property

my son rang them they say he owes speak to the court but he has a payment ref number

I am not a well person i have only been out of hospital a few days as my bp was showing signs of a stroke and they managed to get it to a lower level but after this chap called i could feel the effects on re reading my bp it has shot up to 237/132 and if anyone knows about bp this is serious

but dont panic im resting with extra medication

my wife has since emailed marstons and the court in sw1 pointing this error out but no reply as yet she and my son have tried to ring the court only to be cut off because they are too busy

how do we deal with these people if they return i fear ill end up in an ambulance as i dont think i will be able to control myself if they try to enter-sorry to be so long winded:(its took a little while to write this because im trying not to get too excited if you see what i mean

the wife says she has threatened both parties in the emails with legal action if they do turn up

You hand this letter to the bailiff through a window then ask the bailiff to quietly leave the property. Never open the door.

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Re: [YOUR NAME]: Notice of Ownership

 

I write to you understanding you or your firm of bailiffs has seized, or is intending to seize [CHATTELS/A VEHICLE] or other property belonging to me at the above-mentioned address as collateral for an alleged debt belonging to somebody else.

 

I confirm that I am the lawful owner of the aforesaid property and contents and there is no entitlement enabling you to change ownership, possession, location, use and enjoyment of my property. This means both you and anyone acting for you are now unable to consider my goods to be prima facie the property of anyone else.

 

Please be advised that any attempt to subvert or rebuke this notice will result in a Form 4 complaint being automatically filed at the certificating court along with an application for costs without contacting you further. Both you as a firm and your bailiff may also be criminally liable for committing offences under Section 2 and 4 of the Fraud Act 2006 and any criminal element to this matter will be passed to the police.

 

This document is handed to you in person and a photograph of you standing outside reading it has just been taken. It is now your responsibility and in your own interests this letter is handed to the relevant person within your organisation.

 

Yours Sincerely

 

 

YOUR NAME

take that off the one you post and e-mail

 

if the bailiff comes back just remember he has no power he cant force entry into your home if you have to talk to him do it through a locked door or upstairs window

 

every time he speaks remember its machine gun talk from a water pistol :D:D he now knows its your property and not your speeding fine

 

tell you son to hide his car or the will levy on it or clamp if he cant put it in a garage tell him to leave a good few streets away from the house

yes any property belonging to him they can put a levy /clamp on if they do clamp/levy his car it will add hundreds of pounds on to his fine

it would be a good idea to get him to pay it as soon as possible

I'm not to good good with bailiffs charges for court fines i will have a look round the forum and see what i can dig up
