    • 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.

Got another offer today for £2600 + £220 costs. Another one for the bin!!

If they'd have offered me this at first I'd have accepted it but after all the messing about I've had to do I think I deserve the whole lot.

Sending them another "nice" letter declining the offer.

Please could you move my thread to the appropriate place.

 

Another thing is I have read on other threads to not sign the discontinuance form until you have the cheque in the bank but my court date is only a week away 17th Jan so do I sign it or not

Congrats :)

I didnt sign my notice till the cheque had cleared in my account, most have waited a long time for their cheque once they had sent it off to them...I am not sure about the court date....maybe put something in your acceptance letter??? Hope someone can come along soon and help you more on that.

That's good advice. Phone the court and explain that you have had an offer, but not the money and would like to defer the case. They will tell you what to do.

Got the cheque today for £4065.15. Feel like framing it but putting it in the bank is probably a better option. Just goes to show that you can get your money back eventually and please don't settle for offers below the full amount with interest. Well off to Australia on Friday, looking forward to a fantastic holiday and not having to worry about how much we spend.

Donation to CAG to follow soon!:D

Really pleased for you. Congratulations. Perhaps you could pop into National Australia Banks HQ (YB parent company) while you are there and thank them in person for the cheque.;):D

 

Can I just clarify a couple of things.

 

1. Did they pay interest to the date of your court claim or the date they settled?

 

2. What did you do about the court? Did you phone them to ask for the case to be deferred, and did you submit your court bundle?

 

TIA for the donation and don't forget the survey.

Thanks for the messages.

I claimed interest up to the date i sent in my claim.

I didn't defer the court case, by the time I got home from work my OH had signed the acceptance and discontinuance forms and posted them.

All I sent to court was a copy of my spreadsheet.

We received the cheque within 2 weeks.
