    • 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.

The riots in London and other places

government buildings are sure to be targeted

I think.

but as Uncle Bulgaria correctly pointed out , there are no chav designer goods available there, and i doubt the people responsible are capable of stringing the thought process together to make the connection...

think Homer Simpson wanting some peanuts but finding 5 dollars instead!!!

 

My OH was watching the action and said there a few older organising the younger..?

Pictures in the papers this morning of

young kids making off with looted goods,

I think it's time for Government to declare

a state of emergency as America did after

the floods and hurricanes, then looters

got shot on sight.

Most other countries would not sit back

and look for someone to blame, and considering

the Human Rights of the looters and arsonists.

According to the Daily Hate they haven't targeted the dole offices so business as usual.

 

No doubt it will be well orchestrated by some middle class anarchists, a bit like football hooligans.

But as a Brigadier we can put you in charge to sort the problem out !

 

We did this during the last foot and mouth outbreak, which worked very well.

We could do with some help from you.

Why mention CPUTR 2008 then ? They will be aware of their obligations to meet certain legal standards. They are a law firm who have been around for decades. It is a pity they have joined the debt collection world, but then so many others have also done so.

 

The OP is going to ask for documentary proof of the information Shoosmiths say they have and that is all they need to do at this stage.

 

A simple mention of the CUPTR does not constitute an accusation. Sometimes making these people aware that we are aware of our rights makes them think twice. Having dealt with shoosmiths myself they may be aware of their obligations this does not mean that they will not try it on if they think you/we do not.

 

Put it in the letter or don't it makes no difference to me, but keep the knowledge that it is there.................

 

To me, there are two arguments

 

1. Without proof of the documents you say you hold (which, i might add, they will have to send to P.O.D.(under civil procedure rules [CPR] if they wish to rely upon it in court) then the argument is moot.

 

2. SS is acting for Halifax who are members of the C.M.L. The CML code of conduct says it will not pursue after 6 years. therefore it is an unfair practice to pursue the debt. The info they say they hold is beyond this 6 years again SS's argument is moot

 

 

or use them both together

 

that is all I am saying

Dear RDM2006,

 

Please be aware that Halifax would also be infringing the CML code of conduct and as such, as you claim to be representing them, you should inform them of this.

This was included in the last letter sent under Uncle Bulgarias advice, so does that cover what you said in your last post?

 

under Civil Procedure rules Please explain????

 

and i think what you mean to say is that their argument would be MOOT ie: Law Without legal significance, through having been previously decided or settled

Sorry I do mean moot (senior moment corrected) CPR - Civil Procedure rules - quickest explanation

 

The court requires both parties to have done certain things before appearing in court, one of which is to have supplied each other with all information each party intends to rely upon. (This should be done at least 2 weeks before)

 

and yes that should be ok

Update Update Update...is anyone still out there???

 

Sorry to be so long in getting back to you kind folks but i have been waiting since posting the letter on the 9th August for SS's reply.

Anyway i have just received it, dated 23rd August.( Do you think the lovely lady dealing with this has been on holiday??? lucky her, we haven't had a holiday for years!:sad:)

 

It was a very thin letter and basically stated that they have referred my 'queries' (i think they mean request for evidence of their allegations) to their 'Client' the Halifax and will be back shortly with the requested information.

 

So what do you think? the letter seems to suggest that it is the Halifax themselves that are chasing my OH, didn't someone say on here that that is considered extremely bad practice after 6 years by some code or ombudsman? CML?????

 

Any ideas what, if anything I should do next???

 

Over to you,

(Please don't take this wrongly, but in the very best way, its been nice not being on here every day!!!:-))

I suspect SS don't have much info from the Halifax so they have gone back to them and you will hear something at some point. But this may take some time. From what I have seen in large financial services companies, is that their records are a mess.

 

My gut instinct on this, is that in a months time your OH will receive a letter saying that the matter has been closed and that you will receive no further correspondence from them.

We could do with some help from you.

I doubt very much if you will hear anything at all - it will dawn on someone at Halifax that it's SB'd and that will be the end of it :)

let's assume they're going to have difficulty in finding proof of who made the payment, where and and when - after 11 years :)
