    • 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 I'm just looking for a bit of advise as I'm unsure what to do.

 

Here goes I recently DPA'D Littlewoods (the one where you pay the £10 fee) They sent me all the info etc.

 

I tried to reclaim back £240 in late payment fee's (they were all £12 fees) and was told no.

 

I sent them an LBA letter four weeks ago threatening court action received a reply still saying no get in touch with the FOS.

 

Anyway 2 weeks later which was this Friday just gone the 12/4/13 I received a letter from Lowell's saying that they had purchased my debt from Littlewoods and that I had have pay them the £288 instead of Littlewoods. Part of this was for some goods however littlewoods have added approx. £200 in late payment fees over the past year which is why this has got this high.

 

Please help as I am now totally unsure what I need to do.

 

Any advice is greatly appreciated. And Thanks In Advance

If you have sent an lba then the next step is to issue against them.

 

Have you prepared a spreadsheet of claim so that you know the exact amount you are claiming including the interest?

Hi, Sorry to keep asking but do I fill the N1 court forms in and use money claim online? and should I also write to Lowell's to say the account is in dispute and not to write again until the dispute has been sorted? After checking my emails last night Lowell's had emailed me pretty much the same as the letter they sent me.

 

Thanks Again In Advance

Thank you I will do that this evening when I have a bit more time. I have been out this morning came and pressed 1471 on my landline had a number call I didn't recognise so google'd it and it was Lowell's!! I think I may just tell them if they call again they have the wrong number I may end up saying something to them I may later regret lol. Thanks Again for your advice :)

Hello,

 

I filed an MCOL on the 17th April received a letter from court a few days ago to say my claim was posted to Littlewoods on the 18th April and would be deemed as served from the 23rd April. I have today recieved another letter from the court to advise that Littlewoods intend to defend in full and have a further 28 days to respond.

 

Has anybody had any expereience with taking on Littlewoods if so what do I need to expect and do I have to do anything myself in the 28 days.

 

Thanks in advance :)

They now have 28 days to file their defence and a copy will be sent to you.

 

Being prepared is an essential part of this so you will need to start researching what you are going to put in your witness statement and the items you will need for your court bundle.

Hi need help asap please.

Last week I received an email from Littlewoods solicitor asking me to call them to discuss a settlement. I emailed to say that I would only deal with them via email or post but I was open to any settlement suggestions!

The 28 days is up this coming Tuesday.

Today I have received another email stating as my account has been bought by Lowell's legally the defendant IE Littlewoods doesn't have to answer this case, however as gesture of good will they will buy the account back and clear my balance off of £288.

I would like my court costs back at least lol I originally asked for just over £400 and am currently charging 7p a day daily interest rate.

Any advice on what to reply back or how to take this forward would be appreciated.

Thanks In Advance
