    • 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.

I am new on this forum and hope to get some advise from you.

 

My regular laundry shop seems to have ceased business and I still have clothes with them (sadly also my most expensive winter coat). Wooden panels have been placed on the display window to block any access or letters. It displays a message with the contact details and advises the laundry has ended the tenancy. They have contacted me to arrange for delivery at my home however they have failed delivery twice and I am now not getting any responses on my emails, texts and calls since 2 weeks.

 

I have checked creditsafe and can see they are still an active company. The mobile phone is still working as well. I have traced the director address details. What is the next step I can take to get my clothes back?

Hi waiman

 

Welcome to CAG

 

How did they contact you to make arrangements? Email, phone etc?

 

Are you prepared to go to the small claims court? If so write a LBA, send it Recorded Delivery. I take it that you have a receipt for the clothes when they were dropped off.

The SMS texts are relevant, they prove that the 'laundry shop' were in a position to return the clothes but failed to do so. Evidence essentially.

 

Thanks for your advise and I hope I can get my clothes back through the small claims court!

 

The laundry shop contacted me by SMS texts - is this of importance?

I have sent a claim through the small claims court today and surprisingly the laundry shop suddenly sent me a text to advise me I can come pick it up at another location! I assume he has received the notification that a claim has been submitted? Or would that not be done through mail? In order for me to get my claims expenses back how should I progress?

Hi waiman

 

Don't withdraw the small claims court until you get in writng from him that he will cover the court costs / expenses and you've had the opportunity to check over the clothes.

 

I'm going to move this to general legal.

I have the drycleaner finally respond to my texts but the shop owner is now threatening not to return my clothes if I dont withraw the claim!

 

One more week to go before the 14 day timeline expires for the shop owner to respond. What would happen if they don't respond? The claim form mentions the consequences will be that they wont be able to get credit. What if they go into liquidation and start up a new company?

Hi waiman

 

Keep the texts, explain that you will simply show the Judge the 'text's blackmailing you, tell him you want your clothes, the cost incurred in making the claim and compensated for the aggravation.
