    • 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.

haha fair play. I just know I'd read about people getting 3 times their claims in some situations, I figured that was how they did it. Not sure how I felt about it anyway, I want to be able to tell people how I did it and help etc. (if it all ends ok!!)

 

I was thinking how helpful it would be if they were to cancel my overdraft and loan as well. It amounts to about 2 thirds of my claim again.

 

It was only a thought.

 

I'm ready, got all my figures written down and I'm thinking of my Grandma for politeness!!

Hi

 

I've just picked up an answerphone message from Cobbetts saying thank you for the letter I sent (see above) but they have not submitted a bundle of evidence because they wish to rely on nothing further than what I have submitted already and that it would be a waste of everyone's time for them to do so.

 

My court date is on Wednesday at 11:30am.

 

I'm assuming I have recireved nothing in the post but I won't get my post from the Fri/sat/sun until tomorrow morning when the building manager gets in.

 

Does this mean that I'm actually going to court with them on Wednesday?

 

There's no way they can get the money cleared in time right? My Natwest account is dormant and I have strongly specified that I want a cheque with no restrictions.

 

I'm a bit flustered by this. Is it normal? What should I do? Call the court tomorrow? Call Cobetts?

 

I would really appreciate someone taking the time to advise on this so I can get cracking first thing in the morning as, like I said, the court date is set for Wednesday morning.

 

Thanks

 

Joe

Hi

 

if anyone with any knowledge or experience has the time could you plese read my previous post?

 

Probably going to be up all night stressing about it so if you think you can help please do!

 

Tomorrow is the last day before the court hearing.

 

I'm ready to go to court if I have to but I'd much rather sort it out beforehand!

 

Do I need to try to speak to the District Judge tomorrow? How would I do that? I'm guessing you can't call direct!

 

Thanks

Ok

 

Just got a phone call from Cobbetts asking if I had recieved a letter today. I don't get my post before 12 noon so I couldn't tell her. She said it contained an offer for the full amount of my claim. I said I'd call back when I recieved it.

 

She said the cheque would be sent out today and I would recieve it tomorrow. But my court time is 11:30am tomorrow morning so there is no way I will ACTUALLY recieve the cheque before leaving for the court.

 

What should I do?

 

I don't trust that the cheque will arrive with no restrictions or conditions as they've mucked me about everystep of the way up to this point.

 

Is there anyway I can get them to pay it straight into my Abbey account instead of sending a cheque?

 

AAAAHHHHH it's very exciting but some advice would be good!!

 

HELP!!

Do not discontinue your claim until you have cleared funds. Give the court a ring and explain you circumstances. See what they say. Exciting isn't it.:D

Ok I will do that.

 

Do you know if there is any way for them to actually get cleared funds into my Abbey account by the end of the day? Do I suggest they send someone to their local branch with the cash??

Does anyone know if it is possible for them to get money cleared in my account by the end of today? It would really help to have the knowledge when I speak to Cobbetts again.

 

Thanks again for the above Parkvale.

Ok I've recieved the letter she said had been sent. it reads as follows:

 

"We refer to the above matter and to your letter dated 30 April 2007

 

Subject to our clients position in our letter of 25th April2007, as a gesture of goodwill and strictly on the basis that our client denies any liability to you, our client again provides a goodwill payment of £1.874.49. Our client, National Westminster Bank Plc, has forwarded a cheque to you directly in the sum of £1,874.49.

 

We now await reciept of the completed Notice of Discontinuance"

 

The amount they are offering is my claim and fees but with no interest added from the date of my initial claim onwards.

 

 

I finally got through to the court and they said to get Cobbetts/Natwest to fax me proof of what they are doing and then to fax that with a covering letter to them for the judge to see.

 

I am worried that when the cheque arrives it will have an account specified for it to be payed into again. (I returned the last one for the same reasaon) I really need to pay this money into my Abbey account!

 

I have a feeling that the cheque has not actually been sent yet. Should I try to get them to do a transfer into my Abbey account and fax me confirmation of the payment so I can give that to the court? Can I do that?

 

I have to call Cobbetts ASAP so Parkvale or anyone else, if you're about please let me know what you think!

 

Thanks

They won't mess on sending a cheque into your Abbey account. If the cheque arrives with an account number on it. You should be able to pay the cheque into your

Abbey account no bother. Good luck.

My apologies for the delay but just to let you know the cheque cleared.

 

Thank you so much for the amazing site. It's changed how I run my life! And thank you to everyone who helped me out. I spent a good deal of time pooing my pants and everyone here really chilled me out and advised well. Thank you so much.

 

I couldn't afford to pay the full 15% but I donated what I could.

 

Is there anything I can do to help out with the site?

 

Is there anything else I need to do in regards to my thread? Does it need to be refferred to the, ahem, SUCCESSFUL, section?

Just stick around and share your own newly found knowledge and enthusiasm - some of that will rub off on other newbies and you will be playing your part in helping the site to reach 1000s more people every week.

 

Is there anything else I need to do in regards to my thread? Does it need to be referred to the, ahem, SUCCESSFUL, section?

 

Now it has been retitled, we can let it stay in the 'normal' section for a little while - let people see the success :)
