    • 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.

Yep they have until the 19th May to acknowledge, then they have a further 14 days to enter a defence, which takes you to the 2nd June.

 

Nothing to do now, just sit back relax and see what they do., Which knowing BB will be nothing until the last day.

 

Good luck................

Yep, you would win by default. However be aware that sometimes either MCOL are late putting the info on the claim, or they allow BB a few extra days. So if they are late, phone mcol and check they have not received the acknowledgement and just have not updated.

Good Luck, I will keep an eye out for you

Hi they defended my claim on the 4th May which was 11 days early for me, lets hope you are as lucky

 

Ok.... they've acknowledged the claim.... this is what it says on the site

The Defendant is allowed a total of 28 days from the date from when they are served with the claim to reply.

 

 

So working this out.... the 28 days from the 5th of may.... would be the 1st of june.....

Hi, yep correct but be aware they are sometimes late in defending and they are being allowed to get away with it.

  • 2 weeks later...

So, they have still not entered a defence....... Does this now mean that I can ask tomorrow for a Judgement by Default? Do the Courts work on saturdays?

sorry but you just have to wait, there is nothing you can do now to hurry it along, and dont forget that it is midnight on the last day. And it is possible they may enter it a few days late

 

Its awful hanging around I know but no choice but to wait it out

 

Good luck

Caz
