    • 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'm just about to start my on-line claim which I am doing on behalf of my son...and looking at the on line info... I'm not sure whether to make claim in his name ( he's ok with that) or as the online info says ...could be me as the claimant stating I am representative for my son.( he's currently out of the country and will be for some months)

Have progressed all so far in his name...and would probably prefer to do so still..can I register as my son (claimant)? but payment details would be from me so unsure whether can actually do this?

 

More importantly dont know whether this would cause any excuse for hold ups or questions from Lloyds....to stall it

And if it does get to court would be me that is representing him... dont know whether that would present any problem if had his name as claimant?

 

Also, has anyone claimed for time taken to prepare for all this ... is it worth bothering with or just an added complication to getting your money back?....did see some info on this previously but cant recall where it is now... aleady decided not to the pursue the interest other than the 8%.....just galls me that these fat baskets are getting away with so much...!!

Thanks for any advice..

I would think you will have to get some sort of official form from Lloyds so your son could sign so you can act as your son's representative.

Ring or call in at your son,s branch with him if possible.

Done this over the telephone with some companies to act for my dad.

When i claimed against Lloyds i put all my postage costs.(had receipts)wouldn't do any harm to "log"all the time taken and if it got to court(which it quite possibly could)put a case for that as well.

Bankfodder in the "going to court"bit in the "library"mentioned"explain to the judge what particular hardships you havesuffered as a result of the charges-defaults,loss of home,illness etc you wouldn,t exactly be going to court"inperson"but if you explain to your local court clark your unique situation they would advise on what to put in moneyclaim as well(they were very helpfull to me at any rate)

What you need is termed as "Power of Attorney" Sue - it allows you to act on behalf of someone else with the County Court system. I believe there is a form granting power of attorney on the HMCS website - I'll have a look later for you. Your son will, however, need to sign it.

Hi.. thanks for the replys..( Lancsman/Reload) ... my son is now in China teaching.. and I drafted the initial letters to the bank on his behalf ( he signed them).

I suppose he could make the on line claim himself ..then we would only need this power of attorney for me to represent him..if it went to court as it would only come into play then?

Just if i start the claim I will need to get power of attorney first..for the whole claim process and this could take some weeks ..to get it signed....and post back/forth to china not very quick..or reliable...before i begin.

Maybe would be best to get him to make on-line claim and I could pursue power of attorney at same time..just in case? If there's a form on the website he could print it off and sign/send it.. BTW ...is this in addition to a form that may be required from his bank (mentioned by lancsman) or would my son making the claim avoid this as well ...again until court stage..if it got that far.

Many thanks for all your advice....

Unfortunately, I believe you MUST be UK resident to file a county court claim. While he might be a British subject, living in China rules that out I'm afraid :(

 

Not had a chance yet to look for the power of attorney form. Will get back to you, people keep asking me to do things in the meantime - damn work!

Hi... I already looked at the MCOL site yesterday and I thought that it was possible for him to do that .. even tho my son is temporariliy in China>>still has a 'service' address...

from MCOL - FAQ's>>>>which is why thought would be simpler him doing it>>

 

Q. I live abroad can I still issue a claim

A. Yes. If you have a service address in England or Wales.

Ah, ok - I stand corrected :)

 

Should be fine then - as long as you're able to have the power of attorney ready should it come to the court date and you have to be there in his place.

Have tonight put in a claim against Lloyds... following the wording as reccommended.. so it will go out tomorrow.

Having stated the amount of charges and interest to date .. on the claim..can someone tell me ...do I now need to send out the list of charges and interest ( spreadsheet) to both Lloyds and Court as I have said will send it again (as it states in template)... do i just send it to Lloyds address and the MCOL address at Northampton with the claim reference ...or do I wait until its acknowledged? thanks

Would have thought send to Lloyds with claim reference number and note to say you have filed against them.

Although check the F.A.Q.might be better to wait till Lloyds solicitor,s reply to your cliam saying they will defend,which they will.(i,e,who is representing Lloyds,as it could be at the moment 1 of 2 addresses).

Then you can hit them with all the right answers instead of writing twice,as lloyds don,t seem to tell Sechiarri clark and mitchell anything!

Once your actual local court is appointed send them copies of everything you send and everything lloyds send you.

(When i asked the clark they said it would help if i sent everything)

Do check the questions though because its all been done before chuck.Send everything registered and actually check its got to the right person.

best of luck
