    • 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.

I had the same issue at first and ticked it to say YES, then i thought "Bugger !!, They might reject my claim" but it still went through.

 

Maybe put NO to be on the safe side......

...but don't quote me on that;)

Leave it unticked - you do however need to tick the box that asks if you want to reserve the right to claim interest!

 

Good luck!

Cliare, you're dealing with HSBC, right? They entered a defence a defence with me, after the 14 days then sent me a full settlement offer.

Damnit, they entered a defence last thing yesterday!

 

Can anyone tell me about their experiences of what I can expect next plase?

 

 

Hi Clare,

 

They entered a defence at the last minute with my claim (last saturday).

And then today, i got a letter from DG requesting a breakdown of charges.

I'm tempted to call them tomorrow and/or send a letter along with my breakdown telling them that it's the 3rd time i've sent them a breakdown.

 

Oh well, the merry-go-round continues !!!

This is not really a repy so sorry, but I am really new at using forums and can't work out the best way to post. I have tried emailing tech support but get the message that the URL failed.....sor sorry about this but........

 

I have submitted a MOLC - which has been acknowledged - today got a letter in post from solicitor's offering a full and final settlement of charges plus interest but doesn't inc £120 court fees. From reading the step - by -Step process in FAQ's it looks like I should ignore this and wait for the defense to be submitted. But I am not sure. Can anyone help clarify?

 

Once again sorry for doing this in the wrong place - Can anyone tell me how to start a diary on here?

 

Love and good luck

No problem twirly, you just need to click 'start new thread' at the top of the HSBC forum.

 

I would contact D&G and ask about the court fee though, if they have offered you everything else, they shouldn't be too difficult to convince on that.

 

No point waiting for a couple of weeks for them to file a defence when you could get all the money sooner.

 

Make sure when you call you sound confident, as if it is just an oversight on their part that they didn't include the court fee.

 

Should be fine, if they won't agree it, just say that you'll see them in court (that should make them agree pretty quickly)

PLEASE READ THE FAQ's

If you don't feel confident speaking with them (Deb D'Aubney wasn't very nice to me so I have reported them to the Law Society) then just write thema letter, accepting the amount they have given you as part settlement and that you will keep the claim in until you get the rest!

Defence received states,

 

1. The Claimant's account is governed by the Defendant's personal banking terms and conditions.

2. Pursuant to the Defendant's terms and conditions the Defendant is entitled to make a charge for its services as set out in the Defendants price list.

3. It is denied that the fees charged for the services provided amount to a penalty or liquidated damages clause, The fees are an agreed price for a service provided by the Claimant.

 

OK, well spot the obvious mistake for one thing!

 

Is this similar to what others have received?

 

If this is the best they can do, they are in serious trouble!

Hogwash isn't it Claire? Like you say if it's the best they can do!! Mmmm!!!:D

 

I think I read somewhere someone had a similar response and they paid up within days - probably another scare tactic? :?

 

Be interesting to see what they do now? I'd start writing your shopping list if I were you - as that's no defence is it? :)

That's exactly what i got as a defence. It seems to be the standard "defence".

 

Get your breakdown ready to send off to them. You'll receive a letter from DG asking for it and you should hopefully get your offer for the FULL amount shortly after.

From what i've read of other's who have gone this far, that seem's to be what's happening.

 

Almost there :|

They do this only to "buy them more time" in order to get the cheques etc issued.

 

Take a look at the way they handled my claim, and the law society's response from my complaint about them! (In my signature at the bottom of my posts!)

Claire, phone Alan and he will hurry the cheque along for you. I spoke to him and he was helpful. He made sure HSBC posted my cheque and I received it the next morning. He said they had to enter a defence as the cheque was taking longer thn he had expected and that was the only way he could ensure they were within the courts deadlines for action. He was very apologetic and the cheque was on the doormat next day. Good Luck!

 

I am going to be without internet connection for a few weeks now as I have switch provider and my blueyonder will be terminated at the end of today. The idiots who should be providing me with broadband have not been able to get me connected. Apparently the launch was delayed and I could be without it for weeks! Yes, I've complained and am awaiting a manager to call me back. Sometime within the next 48hrs I am told!

 

Hope to speak soon

Good luck to al of you!

Yes, Alan is helpful - he was the one that sent the daily interest cheque for me, Deb D'Aubney wouldn't!!

 

007 - I know what you mean, these internet providers are so slow at times, lol.

007 and Un1, they haven't made me an offer yet.

 

When I called and asked for a copy of the defence, Ms Daubney was really offhand and rude, if I spoke to the other side like that at work I would be sacked.

OK panic over.

 

I had a letter from DG Sols asking if my (soon to be ex) husbands bankruptcy trustees are aware of the claim. That arrived on Friday, and I worried about it all weekend.

 

I called the trustees this morning, who couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful, who confirmed that they have no interest in the claim, and will write to DG Solicitors to say so too.

 

Hopefully they will now make an offer in the next couple of days (before I have to shell out £100.00 for the allocation questionnaire).

 

Will keep you all posted.
