    • 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,

 

Just wanted to let EVERYONE know that i have sucessfully won against HSBC. I received the cheque on Friday 13th of all days - 13 is my lucky number though! - for just over £2500.

 

Went through the standard procesess, HSBC offered me a 'settlement amount' i politely declined and went for the lot on MCOL. Julie Kyle from DG contacted me asking for a breakdown of charges which i duly faxed, then, on the LAST day before the 28 days were up, rec'd a phone call from DG saying that a cheque had been posted to me. It was for the full amount PLUS i asked for an extra £75 as they added on extra charges since i started proceedings. Rec'd cheque and now paid it in. Fanbloodytastic!

 

Just want to say a HUGE thanks to the site (sorry to sound all wet lettuce gwyneth paltrow) and say if it wasn't for this site i would never have got through it, with all the template letters and advice, its been a great.

 

Thanks and good luck to everyone else. You WILL do it if you stay strong and stick to the timetable!

well done chewlips :) hope to be in the same position soon, but why do they make us take them to court? i might get a job at HSBC by telling them managers i can save them millions a year, just by replying to customers who send an LBA and offering a full refund of charges. it will save them 8% interest and court fees, plus there must be a record somewhere of how many cases have been issued against companies etc. this cannot look good for them!

me against the abbey Paid in full (donation made)

me against the woolwich Paid in full(donation made)

To all the others beware i am heading your way next.
