    • 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.

Hiya everyone this site has been very useful and I am very grateful to everyone who has set it up and provided the info, thanks guys

 

I've just finished compiling my letter which I am sending to the service quality team in leeds (I hope that's the right place to send it!) along with my summary of charges thingy-ma-bob, calculated that over the past three years they've charged me £543 illegally.... I am shocked!!!

 

Am quite excited though told one of my mates about it and I promised her if it works out for me I'll help her get her money back too, talkin' bout a revolution here folks :p

Hi

 

Sorry to highlight this, There is a difference between Illegal and Unlawful

 

Illegal is a Criminal offence which you would normally be prosecuted for by the Police, Council, Traffic Wardens and such forthe

 

Unlawful, is where the Banks can walk over us and say, Hey we have your money, come and whistle for it

Sophie

 

Thank you

As long as you send it to the right Financial Institution, It will get to to the correct person

 

As my previous post, NOT Illegal - UNLAWFUL

Quick update my amigos

 

Sent the first letter the Friday before last and still waiting for reply, I'm being patient about this!!

 

I have a question though, I posted the letter first class but not recorded delivery, so could they just ignore the letter and pretend to have not received it??

 

Mucho thanks :D

They could simply ignore the letter

 

But as the court proceedures are, It is deemed received 2 days after sending

 

To be able to check that it is received, and you could check on line, then best by Recorded delivery

 

But that is not 100%, I feel like around 95% are signed for, and the rest, I'm in the dark as to when they have actually received the letter, then I go on the 2 day rule

Regards

Sophie

Sent second letter now, they have 2 more weeks then I'm filing my claim

 

I've been sending the letters to the HSBC customer service quality team which is listed on their website for complaints, etc.

 

Should I put that as the address on the moneyclaim form or the main office in canada square??

 

Thanks

Hi ken, thanks for reply, I got a reply from this bloke (is he a computer??!) offerring £480, £63 less than claimed for which is alright but as a matter of principle I'm going ahead with the claim

 

I have sent my letter before action ken and if they don't offer me the full amount by the 13th I am filing a claim, exciting stuff!!

 

I'm really unsure where to send the claim to... this colin bloke or the bank itself. I am claiming against the bank and not colin so it makes more sense to send the claim to canada square, any insight into this would be greatly appreciated!!

 

Also is it neccessary to accept the offer as a partial settlement or can you decline the offer entirely, and if I do accept it as a partial settlement how would I calculate interest for the remainder of the charges, as HSBC haven't stipulated which charges they are refunding to me (in fact, they're refusing to refund me the charges at all and are saying it's a "representation" of the charges!!)

 

Thanks again for any help in this matter :D

Hi guys

 

I WON!!!!!

 

Although I didn't cross out the confidentiality agreement but I don't give a toss! THANK YOU to this forum :p

 

They offerred me a couplle of hundred less than owed, I declined offer, filed MCOL and within a few days a letter from D&G solicitors came through the door with an offer for the full amount!!

 

That was a week gone Monday and still no reply tho, I did file judgement agaisnt them the day I recieved the letter saying that they admit the whole amount is paid and I wish to be paid back immediately. Sounds fair to me but maybe the whole "admit" thing doesn't go down well with them, we shall see

 

Any advice about this and issuing warrants would be greatly appreciated, I'd love to get these bastards a warrant and go to the press :D I presume buy that point the confidentiality agreemebnt will be null and void!!
