    • 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 all,

i have been renting this property for over 5 years and the rental agreement lapsed so i think i was on what is termed periodic tenancy, a few days ago i got a possession notice giving me 7 weeks to vacate the property

1) is landlord supposed to give me min 8 weeks notice?

2)if i wait for ll to take me to court--as i do not want to make myself intentionally homeless(no deposit for another property) how much will the court cost be??

3)there does not appear to be deposit scheme in haringey where i live-is shelter the best

place to go?

many thanks in advance for your help

ps even with a deposit-chances of friendly landlord is slim due to prior bankruptcy now on credit file

even though i have never been late for a rent payment!

What type of Notice, simple letter or s21?

 

LLhas to serve a s21(4)a for SPT, giving at least 2 clear T periods, before he can apply for Court repo order.

s21 does not end T on expiry. If you decide to move out by expiry date, you are still required to serve your own written NTQ or at least inform LL in writing that you will vacate by expiry date.

hi marina

it is an s21--it says at the bottom i should get 2 months but the date it was signed and by the time of delivery was both less than 2 months,

the date it was signed is 20 may 2013-date i received was 22 may 2013 --date of notice to leave is 15 july 2013

am just wondering how much this will cost me if i have to pay court costs for not leaving on time....

It would appear LL has served a defective s21, so you not liable for Court fee's.

Just to check,

what date did T commence? f

or what length of fixec term?

is an actual date for FT expiry specified?

what frequency is the rent due pcm?

how is s21 expiry date ecpressed on form? on/before '' or 'after '

 

If you don't tell LL his s21 prob defective, he will only find out at hearing and will have to issue a new one. This could provide you with another 4 months before repo.

Was a deposit taken and protected within 30 days, with reqd prescribed info provided?

hi marina

the last tenancy agreement expired ages ago and he promised me a new one but did not give it to me and now i receive

this notice to leave--with dates as above--yes rent is monthly- and last date expressed on s21 would have been the last

day of the month b4 another payment was/is due(expiry 15 july)

yes deposit taken and protected

The dates requested should have been specified in last AST, nort s21, and are critical to determine SPT (which you now have) Tenancy period dates.

So please confirm:

AST commenced on 15th of month for 6 month certain (FT). No end date specified in AST?

AST also stated rent payable per cal month in advance, first payment due at start of T (15th)

 

S21 expiry date is shown as 15 July, not 'after 15 July' and no saving clause added?

 

The earliest LL could seek repo with that s21 would have been 'sfter 15 Aug' but it appears defective and he will have to start again. If he is alerted, he could re-issue by First Class mail, and it is deemed served (received) 2 working days later ie on/before 15th June. It should also express the new expiry date as 'after 15th Aug'.

 

Time to start houe humting again, methinks

 

It is mariner BTW

Might be time to get on the housing list.Do you pay the rent or is it HB..

Another question,, are thedetails of the S21 the same as on your tenancy agreement. It does all sound flawed to me.

of the council means f off--they won't/don't even give basic advice these days have had to find it all

this is the tool i just found to check whether LL is using the correct procedure

it confirms the above advicei am finding that the shelter website gives the best information re housing/homelessness

as housing staff at their customer services center seem to know nothing/unwilling to help

Budgie, you may well be right about the housing list but isn't it worth getting on it anyway. Depending on your circumstances you may get one quicker than you think.

have been to the council as well as cab who have informed me that because i am single-no dependants, no disabilities i am on my own--in both cases they could not wait to get me out of the door-not offering any advice for me whatsoever-it did not matter that i have no deposit for a new flat
