    • Hi all, I purchased a car in January from Big Motoring World Leeds. At the time of sale I was shown a tab on the salespersons computer marked 'service history' and I was able to take comfort knowing that the car had been serviced on 3 occasions as the date, mileage and company was there on screen. Being a 3 and a bit year old car that, in my mind, constituted full service history 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, collected the car a week later. Once home I settled down to through the book pack etc. Opened the service history booklet and it was completely blank. In addition there were no invoices detailing that any services had been done. I duly contacted BMW and asked them to supply me with proof of service history. They responded saying that on their 'vehicle documentation checklist' I had ticked and then signed to the fact that I had seen the service history and that I was happy with it. I dug out this checklist and what it actually states is 'seen service history online' which I had in the showroom. BMW seem to think that this satisfies their responsibility in providing service history. The reality is that I don't have any proof that the vehicle has ever been serviced! For my own peace of mind I ended up paying for a service that satisfied the manufacturers maintenance schedule to the tune of £330. I even complained to the finance company that the vehicle contravenes the Sale of Goods act 2015 as l, in effect, ot is not as described. Amazingly they weren't interested and instead I just got an email stating that it's not illegal to sell a vehicle without service history and that servicing costs were part and parcel of vehicle ownership. I've since complained to the ombudsman and am awaiting to see if they can help. I have no issue with the car but the treatment and customer service has been the worst I've ever experienced. I don't really know what to do next as I really do feel aggrieved that I've had to pay to service a car that should have already been serviced. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? 🙏

    • 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 would seem your main worry regarding the 'levy' on the car in question has been resolved... admitted by way of a 3rd party claim and the levy fee has been removed. If there was no levy and the fees to that have been removed then it must follow, the charging of £400 to attend to remove this same vehicle also has to be dropped???

 

As has been explained previously... it is possible the creditor wanted to increase the agreed repayments (even if you have stuck to the terms of the agreement in place) if that was the case.....it would be for the creditor to instruct the hceo to contact you and look to establish any changes in your circumstances that would allow you to voluntarily increase your payments. If after establishing the facts they had reason to believe there was 'spare' cash available, the correct approach should have been for them to either negotiate any proposed increase with you directly and if those negotiations failed it would be their client who would need to make an application to Court to vary (increase) the payments based on the 'evidence' gathered eg, your I&E.

Thanks WD. I'm still yet to receive a further breakdown/balance from them.

 

Where do you think I stand with regards to the "16 visits" they say they have made to try and obtain the I &E forms? Like I say I have numerous emails where I have sent them it.

 

Also I don't see the need for them to have "called" to the house, when a simple phone call or email would have sufficed. Can they just bump there fees like that?

 

Cheers

As I said at the outset, the way this was handled does not Imo, constitute fair play.... If you can show you did not default on the 'arrangement' in place then I would be inclined to think they would need to justify all their actions, As for the alleged 16 visits.....that must be one for the guiness book of records.

Both you and them should have received a copy of the Judges order from the last hearing outlining a date by which they must comply. If it was ordered they submit all the requested documents by x date and they again fail to do so, the Judge will have a few choice words for them at the next hearing!!!!

 

Other than sit it out and see what happens next, there is nothing you can do at the moment.

Hi ok thanks. The order said something along the lines that the enforcement be Stayed until they re-apply? They must also attend the next hearing in person and supply me with all documentation. It didn't give a date they must do this by tho :-(

 

I just don't want this hanging over my head any longer

 

Cheers
