    • 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.

Afternoon all.

 

I have a Next Directory account with a card that can be used in store. Looking to reclaim penalty charges. According to Next's records, the acount was 'opened' in 2002 and then 'reactivated' in 2003. Not sure what means exactly.

 

I sent off the SAR on 23rd July and had a response in post today.

 

Couple of things:-

 

1. There's loads of sheets of computer printouts. One section is titled 'Miscellaneous Events' and has a list of entries by date. Some of these entries have bits that are blanked out. For instance,

011204 MISCELLANEOUS r/o actd - XXXXXXX (where X is a blanked out black box)

 

Surely I'm entitled to see what's on there and they shouldn't have blanked out the entries?

 

2. There's also an unsigned, incomplete (no names, addresses, etc) CCA. I'm fairly certain I didn't sign a CCA. Is there anyway that we can prove this copy isn't the one from the time the account opened?

 

3. There's also a set of T&Cs.

 

Does anyone have any information about if Next changed address? Or maybe changed their 0844 numbers or 0870 or 0800 numbers. Trying to find a way of associating these T&Cs to a different year to the one in which I opened the account.

 

The CCA notes the 'service charge' as APR 29.8%. Anyone know if this is a recent APR?

Hmmmm....this is what I've found out.

 

The CCA and T&Cs they've sent refer to Next Retail Limited as the company with registered number 123434.

 

Next changed their name to Next Retail Limited on 25th March 2003. They had previously been Hepworths Limited since 1980.

 

My account was noted as 'open' on their computer printout on 3rd Jan 2002.

They then note it as 'reactivated' on 7th Feb 2003.

The statements start at number 001 on 24th Feb 2003.

Entries on the 'Miscellaneous Events' list started on 9th Jan 2003.

'Directory despatched' noted as 24th Jan 2003.

 

So they weren't called Next Retail Limited when I opened my account so those CCAs and T&Cs can't be correct.

 

Would anyone agree with that?

There are 2 separate credit agreements. Each is signed by a different Company Secretary. Neither were in their appointments at the time I took out my account. So neither can be a 'true copy.

 

I think I have a vague recollection of seeing some court case which meant that they no longer had to give you originals but could supply a 'true copy'.

 

The two CCA have different interest rates, etc and are signed by 2 different secretaries that didn't work for Next at the time that I took out my account so they can't be true copies can they? Also, if they don't have a signed copy of my agreement, don't they have to tell me?
