    • 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.

Ok understood. What is my position of he decides to wind up and start trading using another Ltd company? Would I be able to lift the veil?

 

No you would make a claim on the dissolved company...that is if you have sued a Ltd company and not an individual.

We could do with some help from you.

Yes I have sued a Ltd co

 

it has been agreed by a judge that Mr A's Company LTD is liable for the debt, you can not now decided well Mr A is to blame for it, you have told the judge Mr A's Company LTD did the work and he's agreed, therefore you can only claim the amount of money from Mr A's Company LTD and no-one else, regardless IF you think he's a sole trader, 2 people (company's or individuals ) can not be held liable for the same debt, unless 2 people enter in the the contract at the same time (and therefore both people would be on the court paper's)

 

even if I was lied to about who was doing the work??

You are starting to complicated things now. The answer is as Liverpoolluke has said, whoever you sued is the one to chase.

If the business has wrapped up, you will have to find if there is an administrator or liquidator and apply to them.

I very much doubt it as a lot of garages are fly by night and just wrap their hand in at the first sign of trouble and start again

under a new name.

 

What is the name of this Ltd company ??

I'm guessing but what he probably meant is that he was a "sole trader" in the sense that he is the sole director and employee of the limited company.

 

Nothing illegal about that.

their company is currently active with only dormant accounts filed to date.

 

I have known the mechanic for years,

 

he is a very well known bmw specialist mechanic with very high labour rates.

 

he has been around for donkeys.

 

which is why I am now confused about why he has been filing dormant accounts for so many years and was not trading using another ltd company.

 

makes me think its been one massive tax fraud?

this may be the case, sadly it's not something you can get involved with,

you decided in the first place to take Mr A's Company LTD to court,

you got a judgement against the LTD company,

the LTD company is the only person you can act on / serve papers to

 

I assume you got a written receipt from Mr A's Company LTD which is why you were able to get a judgement against them

 

you can of course speak to HMRC about any issues you have with secondary company's eat

yes I have a receipt from the ltd co.

to me,

it doesn't make sense that I cant change the entity liable for the debt because essentially I was lied to.

it is fraud.

 

he has defrauded me,

probably the tax man too

and there is no comeback for me?

 

I know the tax man can get his money but apparently not me?

surely there have be to some work around within the law?

what do you mean by "secondary company's eat"?

 

help please....?

if you have successfully sued and be awarded an amount from Mr A's Company LTD then it is only Mr A's Company LTD that has been ordered to pay, you could only ask bailiffs to act upon Mr A's Company LTD I don't think you could further sue Mr A as the matter has already be dealt with

 

You have been given the answer a few times and I've quoted liverpoolluke post to repeat your 'only' course of action.

I just can't quite believe it.

 

that means that i could sell something to someone under a made up Ltd co name.

They sue me.

I go to court pretending that I own that fake Ltd co.

I lose in court.

 

Claimant tries to recover their money but can't because the company doesn't exist and there is no alternative for the claimant. Fraudster defendant gets away with zero penalty.

 

Just seems a crazy system to me....

You're not getting this. You took a car to a garage for repair but are not happy with that repair so want a refund. The garage refuses so you take the garage to court.

 

On the court papers you issue it says xxx garage ltd. The court agrees with you and orders xxx garage ltd to repay you.

So far xxx garage ltd hasn't obeyed the court and repaid you, so you send in bailiffs to xxx garage ltd the name on the court suite you issued and the name the court ordered to repay you.

 

I can't see your problem.

The problem is he said he was a sole trader in court.

He gave me an invoice with Ltd co name,

yes, but he could have made up any name.

 

 

say I owners a garage and I told everyone my Ltd co name was abc Ltd but it was actually xyz Ltd.

 

 

If someone wanted to sue,

they would sue abc Ltd

and I would never have to pay up

because everyone would be suing the wrong company.

This is what seems odd to me.

 

Also just received this letter from the courts which makes no sense to me at all ...

 

"Notice of transfer of proceedings

 

This claim has been transferred to the county court at central London for allocation.

On receipt,

the file will be referred to a procedural judge who will allocate the claim to track and give case management directions.

Details of the judge's decision will be sent to you in a notice of allocation. "

 

What is going on???

This makes no sense to me at all.

You said it had been to court and a judgement given. That says it hasn't been to court and judgement been made.

 

A sole trader means he is the only owner so can keep all the profits himself.

Could this be happening if he appealed? I did not get any notice of an appeal.

 

I can take a pic and post it.

 

First letter received a few weeks ago...

 

Received today...

I phoned them a few times last week to ask if the defendant had appealed,

they said they'd heard nothing.

And then I get this!

 

 

Monday first thing I will call.

I've had no notice at all from anyone about an appeal.

Is the defendant supposed to write to me if to advise if they are appealing?

 

Say he is appealing.

Can I send bailiffs round anyway?

Or is it a waste of money

***UPDATE***

 

Called the court this morning.

Defendant has appealed!

They don't know on what grounds

because the file has gone to central London to a higher level judge.

 

Should I enforce??!!

Seriously confused!

 

Thanks in advance!

You can start enforcement action as the judgment remains in force until it is set aside.

However you might be wasting your time & money as court rules include provision for enforcement action to be suspended if there are special reasons

- which can include an application to set aside judgment.

 

So even if bailiffs got you your money or seized goods,

it would only have to be given back if his application is successful.

I would sit tight until the details of the appeal are decided upon.
