    • 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.

Did the Money Claim Online thing on Sun (10th), have recieved notification today (13th) that Intelligent fininace have filed an acknowledgement of service and say they intend to defend the claim in full.

Got letter in the post this morning, the relevent part reads;

 

"......on a purely commercial basis, it will cost the bank money to defend your claim in terms of the legal costs that will be incurred. It is unlikely that the Halifax will be able to recover these costs (even if the bank wins) because your claim will probably be allocated to the small claims tract, in which costs are not generally awarded

 

For this reason, but without admission of liability, the Halifax is willing to reimburse £318.00 in respect of the bank charges incurred your account. The Halifax will also reimburse the £50 in respect of the Court fee."

 

Dead pleased about getting the charges back but I would have quite liked to have beaten them in Court to make the point about their charges.

Stuaryo, Carriel1975,

 

They will tell you that they intend to defend but will let it run until shortly before the date to enter a defence falls due to tell they they have "decided" not to because of the expense. Of course it's pretty obvious that they never had any intention to defend from the out-set. The second ackowledgement of service (for charges that would never have been applied if they had returned the first ones promptly) arrived yesterday and I have little doubt the story will be much the same again. Personally, I think it's a total abuse of the Court system - and possibly even illegal if they are indicating that will defend every case when in fact never do and ever even have an intention to do so. It's also a waste of their share holders money as they are forking out for the Court fees in every case as well.

 

No they didn't close the account and it's still fully in use.

Hi Phantom.

 

I'm still getting myself prepared for battle with I.F. but have another query: Do I send my S.A.R. to the Intelligent Finance office OR Halifax?

I would send it to IF. I didn't use one as all my charges were detailed on my web statements as they were all incurred this year.
