    • 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 have just received another letter from A/L!

In bold letters across the top it reads....

'NOTICE OF INTENTION TO PROCEED WITH DEBT RECOVERY ACTION'!!!!!

A/L are now putting the matter into the hands of their debt recovery section to begin proceedings for recovery of the amount quoted(which has gone up since their last letter)!I must pay the FULL amount within seven days!!!

 

Im getting worried now!...I have wrote a letter explaining that as my account is in dispute, they should not take any action against me....they have either ignored that or the letters have crossed in the post.

 

My current situation in claiming back my charges is.....

Finished my spreadsheet, filled out fee exemption form, now i just need to fill out my claim form and send it (today!) to my local county court.

If i have got this wrong, could someone please notify me asap!

Right don't panic, this will soon be sorted out. Did you do your court claim today as planned? If not add any new charges to your schedule and get your claim in. If you have any problems with claiming, post them on your thread so we can try and help. If your claim is already in then start another claim after this one has been settled.

 

Write to the person who sent you this new letter and tell them that the account is in dispute and that you have submitted a court claim for unlawful bank charges to be reimbursed, and that when this is sorted you will settle your account (assuming that is your intention). It might just be a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, or it could be as you say, letters crossed in the post.

 

I believe you have your parachute account up and running so I would say that everything is pretty much in hand.

 

Keep us posted if there is anything else.

I don't think you are going to see the inside of a court room any time soon either unless you get arrested for something. All you will get as a result of this is a cheque.

No, it's all up to the court then and A&L to respond. Start thinking about having a good Christmas and all the goodies you'll be able to have. I can't think of anything else you need.

:confused:

I have just received another letter from A/L!

They had already replied to my letter before action...refusing to refund, so i went ahead and submitted my claim to the court, i only did this on friday, so this new letter can not be a response to that.

A/L would now like to offer a PARTIAL refund of £553.00!

Obviously i am not going to accept this offer!

Should i just ignore it?

Will it affect my claim to the court? (A/L had previously refused to refund)

Do i write to A/L explaining why i am refusing their offer?

Just write back refusing the offer and tell them you have put in a claim for the full amount.

Why? They always say they will defend and then pay up. Nothing to worry about at all IMHO.

I would just like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has helped me in my claim against A/L......

Yes! I received settlement in FULL this morning!

I am still in shock, as the last i heard A/L were defending!

Quite a sum of it has to go back to them mind, but i can still buy the kids xmas pressies and not worry to much!

As soon as cheque has cleared and i know exaclty what needs to go where i will be making a donation.

I simply could not have done this without all your help!

THANK YOU!
