    • 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.

hi

im new on here but got stung by the big ape with no uniform at lamorna carpark earlirer this year

it was a rubbish day and we stopped to change the babies nappie and got done

my wife changed him on the driver seat so i had to get out

she then strated to feed him in the passenger seat and thats when the ape came over and started taking pics without muttering a word .. NOT HAPPY

i have had all the usual letters but had the one from the debt recovery agency on saturday which worried me so i came back on herer and felt a bit better

i see all the advice but its just nice to have it confirmed

im not going to pay as it was certainly a non justified ticket

hopefully no court appearance etc etc

Tell your missus not to worry about the begging letters as this is just routine junk mail, the collection agent could not take you to court in any case as they do not have sufficient interest in the property. If in doubt read Vehicle Control Services V Ibbotson and then enjoy ignoring.

The car park and the debt collection company are owned by the same person so I would send the Lamorna Cafe a cheque for the cost of parking there for half an hour and have done with it. If they still persist, tell them you have offered to satisfy the debt and they have refused the payment and have no right to claim otherwise.

I would't bother. People have tried that before ( just sending the parking fee) but it's always been turned down. Instead the parking company demands the full "parking charge notice" amount , even though it bears no relation to the actual loss that's been suffered. That amounts to an illegal penalty. That's why we say just ignore.

The choice is yours.

You "could" send them the cost of half hours parking if you wanted.

You "could" also ignore them.

Have a read arround this forum, get the hang of what a Private Parking Invoice involves, and then make your own mind up as to the way forward.

For what it is worth my advice is to Ignore and let them waste their time and money!

hello all:-)

Reason I said about paying the Lamorna Cafe the PARKING FEE is because this is 1 of 2 places in this country where the people claiming the debt actually own the land they charge for as a car park and run a (separate) debt collection company. Therefore, they can enforce the debt for parking there but not the "fine" for failing to pay. If they refuse to accept your cheque for £1 or whatever it was then they cannot claim for monies that were not due at the time as it is in breach of the Magna Carta, and thus common law (see most other threads for more detail).

These people from Lamorna cove are legendary. The cafe is apparently so bad, that they have resorted to going nuts by issuing all these penalties for car parking. I have read that the locals are really embarrassed and advise their friends/relatives not to go anywhere near the cafe.

I don't think I would pay them a penny or even bother responding.

We could do with some help from you.

No, I have read the MC and the BoR and the peopel who claim to be Freemen are unlikely to ever qualify as such. To qualify you have to be a householder and either a Knight or Bowman. With general emancipation the nutters claim we can all be freemen but how many of them swore allegiance to the 25 barons in the first place?

No the MC states that you cannot be fined without conviction which is why these charges are not fines. Judges have decided that council parking fines are allowable as fixed punishment for breach of contract Just stating where it all comes from and why it may be prudent in this case to pay the £1 retrospectively because the geezer actually owns the land so can enforce the original charge but not the penalty.

If it gets to court you will be obliged to pay the court fees and some other expenses but not the stupid amounts claimed by these companies, which is the entire point of resisting them. As I said, send a cheque to the Lamorna Cafe for the parking fee and if it is returned or not banked no-one can force you to pay more and it is illegal to try.
