    • 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.

Has the bailiff been into your home do they have a levy of so can you list please

 

Charges sound wrong

You do not need to deal with the bailiff no phone call no text no nothing

 

There is no right of entry for the bailiffs no locksmith no nothing

Any payments direct to the council that way a payment history will stack up

If i have helped in any way hit my star.

Ask the council

How many liability orders they have/had for you

How much was each one for

When were they obtained

When were they passed to bailiffs for enforcement.

 

Then send this to the bailiffs

 

"From:

My Name

My Address

 

To:

Acme bailiff Co

bailiff House

 

Ref: Account No: 123456

 

Dear Sir

 

With reference to the above account, Can you please provide me with a Breakdown of the charges.

 

This includes:

a - the time & date of any Bailiff action that incurred a Fee.

b - the reason for the fee.

c - the name(s) of the Bailiff(s) that attended on each occasion a Fee was charged.

d - the name(s) of the Court(s) the Bailiff(s) was/were certificated at.

e - the date of the Certification.

 

This is not a Subject access request under the Data Protection Act S7 1998 so does not incur a fee of £10. You are obliged to provide this information.

 

I require this information within 14 days.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Ripped off customer"

Keep the bailiff out no right of entry no nothing

 

pay council using correct reference number

 

If you have a car garage it away leaving it on the drive is a invitation for a levy

 

The bailiff can ask all they want bailiffs lie

 

Bailiffs will say they have a court order,distress warrant in reality it is a liability order nothing else

 

Keep bailiffs out pay council :-)

the letter they posted isnt a court order or anything else where there able to get in then ,it was wrote in big red letters seizure of goods today wrote on it

 

They think it will scare you into paying them

The bailiffs will try to convince you that you need to pay them

and can be by payment arrangement but they must come in for that to happen

KEEP THEM OUT!

whatever there wording still a liability order nothing else

 

Car and anything of value in the garden is at risk of levy

you will break NO LAW by refusing to deal with the bailiff

thankyou for your advice it has set my mind at rest for if they visit tomorrow i have a mother with cancer and a father whos had a stroke due to my mother,so dealing with a baliff should be a walk in the park for me . im hoping the council will reply tomorrow,so i can then send the breakdown letter,he also said on the phone in december they dont need a levy ,they are able to levy and take ,so this was a blatant lie,being able to lie and bully is surely not in a baliffs code of conduct

what a horrible situation you are in lets hope things start to improve

 

The bailiffs may not turn up when they say they will!

It is possible you may fall into the vulnerable category with the issues you have

 

It may be worth contacting the council and letting them know your situation

if they don't help your local MP should help

 

don't believe a word that the bailiff comes out with they think they have special powers.........

 

They do talk dribble and keep a clean shirt:wink:

Looks like most bases covered I hate bailiffs, all I would add is that if the bailiff gets load and starts shouting about prison, locksmiths etc, film or record his threats through the letterbox or window, to use in any Formal Complaint, he cannot stop you filming him whatever carp he spouts about his permission data protection, 'uman rights etc. there is no law that says you cannot, and a domestic CCTV system doesn't come under DPA registration either. Also hide any car to stop him levying it.

We could do with some help from you.

I am so sorry to hear of your dreadful personal problems and I do hope that your mother (and father) recover from their illness. At the very least you should at present be considered as vulnerable in accordance with the National Standards for Enforcement Agents.

 

In the morning it is most important that you obtain the precise amount of the Liability Order from THE COUNCIL.

 

Also advise the council of your mother and fathers illness

 

Advise the council that you have made payment of a significant amount to the bailiff.

 

Do you have a car and has a bailiff "levied" upon it?

 

If no levy has been made, you MUST ensure that you car is not parked outside of your home.

 

You should NOT allow the bailiff into your home.

 

Please post back tomorrow when you have further info.

Yes they get their telephonists from Rentabitch so not much point talking on the phone to them. They don't do politeness. I know the bailiffs threaten to come round soon, but once they have charged

you for 2 visits [whether they have visited twice or not] they tend not to come so often since they can't charge for those visits. So you don't need to do everything quite so urgently on the phone-a letter will do.

 

I know it might be difficult, but try not to panic and follow the advice from the guys on here . Just don.t answer the door If they do come then there is nothing they can do. Pour yourself a glass of scotch and enjoy it while they are outside [hopefully in the rain ] getting annoyed and frustrated. You are the one with the power. After they leave, pour yourself another scotch.............Works for me, hiccup.

Sounds as if it may be copyrighted to Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Anderson, bet it starts "Once upon a time".

Either that or it specifies the debtor must supply "lashings of ginger beer" as they favour the Enid Blyton book of bailiff fees and practice
