    • 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.

Get all transactions cancelled to them. They do and will use cpa if they have your card details.

 

You then need to work out how much you actually owe without all their bogus charges then work out a simple budget summary.

 

You can then offer them a repayment plan in writing and send the summary to prove your circumstances. They will likely decline but we can cross That bridge when we get to it.

 

The main thing is to secure your bank account

You secure it by writing a latter of instruction to them that states you want ALL transactions to them or their named merchants cancelled and any future transactions declined. Should they not follow your instructions you will seek legal advice as well as regulatory advice. Be aware that many banks completely ignore the law and say they will put a note on the account.

 

You dont want that. You want full written confirmation, signed and dated that states that no future transactions to that company or their merchant will happen.

 

With Repayment plans, PDL's are very reluctant to agree to one, and even when they do, they try and charge a bunch of unlawful/unenforceable charges to make even more profit off you. You need to be firm, stand your ground and leave them in no doubt that if they do not agree that you will take it further. Never take the soft approach with PDL's, to them, you are just a number, You need to play hardball with them. Every. Single. Time.

They cannot refuse any payment towards an outstanding debt. So if they refuse to give their bank details and a reference number, youll have to use a postal order and deduct the cost of said postal order and stationary used to send it, from the total debt owed :)

 

But before we worry about that. Send the offer of repayment and the summary once you have secured your bank account. We can then see what their reply is.

Only deal with things in written format through your letterbox, unless you specifically gave them an email to contact you on.

 

Repayment plans are easily sorted, and if they refuse, then you can force them to accept payment. If they tried to take legal action, it could be seen as vexatious.

If they keep adding interest despite your complaint, then we can take it further.

 

Was your complaint headed as such? if so, they have 56 days to resolve the complaint or you can take further action. Be it regulatory or legal. In my opinion, even though i wish all PDL's would be shut down, you should give them ample time to resolve the complaint and also ensure you follow the regulations/law yourself. Let them make the slip up.

 

Dont make further contact with them yet if the above applies to you. Just make a log of all calls/emails/texts to you to back up your case.

If they ignore you, then make sure you get a formal complaint in. YOU are in charge of repayments if you are in difficulty. NOT them.
