    • Under the consumer rights act 2015, if a defect manifests itself within 30 days and you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund. If any defect manifests itself within the first six months of ownership then you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund subject to the retailers right to carry out a repair. If the retailer declines to repair or if the repair fails then you have the right to return. The problem here is that you have to assert their right. It's a bit ridiculous – but you have to do let them know preferably in writing that you are asserting your rights under the consumer rights act either the 30 day right or the six month right. I suppose that you haven't done this – which would be quite understandable because most people don't know that these rights exist and that they are subject to these conditions – the condition that the right must be inserted. It is frankly ridiculous. The dealers know it and we have lots of instances of this company delaying appointments et cetera and our strong suspicion is that they are simply trying to run their customers out of time. On the basis that you haven't asserted your rights, we now have to look to ordinary contract law. You are entitled to purchase a vehicle which is of satisfactory condition and which remains that way for a reasonable period of time. Clearly it is in satisfactory. They are blaming you. Has your independent inspection identified the reason for the defect? This will be important because as you have seen BMW are already saying it is down to your driving and you are going to have to produce evidence that it wasn't down to your driving and the you drove it absolutely reasonably and it was simply the condition of the car. Have you been without the car for any period of time. Is it driveable now? If the car was off the road for a substantial amount of time and was still off the road then you would be able to argue that this is a fundamental breach of contract and that you have been deprived of substantially the whole benefit of the contract and therefore you will be entitled to treat the contract as breached by Big Motoring World and insist on cancelling the contract. It may be that you will eventually be obliged to keep the car but have the repairs paid for. Have you had any quotations for the work that needs doing? I asked you questions about the MOT – but you haven't responded.
    • A 'violent left wing mob', comprised of a chap in a red hoody with a damp polystyrene coffee cup and a bit of wet cement, gets nowhere near cowering frightened farage some distance away on top of his double decker bus .. as farages security and support seem to film the incident grinning     Farage bravely flinches, grimaces and seems to almost burst into tears as the 'objects managed to travel a part of the way toward his position on top of his bus. His reactions honed by having a bit of milk splash him at a prior incident allow him to swiftly fall into a protective cower and grimace .. .. Sometime after, once the mob of 1 had been safely bundled away, farage apparently wipes his eyes of tears, and rising from his cowed and frightened pose, bravely shouts “I will not be bullied or cowed by a violent left-wing mob who hate our country.” .. however few they may comprise of.   https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/nigel-farage-cement-barnsley-reform-uk-b2560501.html

    • 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.

This seems very early Sidney. It's usually only 14 days before the hearing that the court bundle is needed. What exactly does the notice say?

You can't legitimately claim costs if it's a small claim unfortunately.

Delivered my court docs before the dead line Feb 8th, also sent a copy to the bank as i was instructed to do this by the court.

 

But i have not received a copy of theirs.

 

Is this normal or does it suggest they have no intention of going to court

So yet again YB ignore a court order. Situation normal, and yes it implies they have no intention of going to court. I would be inclined to phone the court and let them know that you haven't had YB's bundle as instructed and ask what your options are. I think you can file something to say they haven't complied with the court and apply to get their defence struck out so you win by default. Not 100% sure of the process but something along those lines I think. The court will advise you.

I'm not sure what you have already taken, but it's the court bundle in the templates library. There is a list of what you need to take. If you have already done that you just need to get yourself well versed on why you think the charges are unfair, just read read read! Any questions you are asking yourself will probably be answered in the FAQ's... But hopefully you'll get a settlement before 26th.

Phoned the court, they informed me that Yorkshire have not submitted any court docs and they have basically got up until the hearing date.I asked if the case be struck out by default but they said no. Looks like i will just have to be patient and hope they pay up sooner rather than later. but i get this feeling that they will riggle out of it as the OFT are looking into these charges in april, it would be just my look.

I think you will be OK Sidney. Make sure you hold out for the full amount including interest up to the date of settlement, not the date of your claim, which is what they are likely to offer.

 

I am sure the OFT report will not impact on your case at all and YB will be more keen to avoid going to court, than worry about the OFT report at this stage in the proceedings.

 

It's a game of chicken now to see who can stand firm for the longest time.;)

You have you submitted your court bundle, but have you had one from YB? (I'll be amazed if you had one from them). I'm not too clear whether you included the draft directions with your AQ though. Unless the bank have managed to overlook your court date I still wouldn't be surprised if you got a cheque by Monday.

Good morning Caro and what a beautiful day, I did include the draft directions and you were right they did not submit a court bundle.

 

At work at the moment but i have had a message that there is a letter at the Post Office for me to sign for, fingers crossed.

 

Happy Days

 

p.s If it is what i think it is my donation is on its way.
