    • 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.

Hi cheddar

 

The only difference is that the contract is not covered by the CCA1974 so you cant request the agreement vis a CCA request...you can still utilise the CPR 31.14.

Its your choice if you dont need a possible CCJ or aggravation or whether you want the claimant to work for his 10p in the £ debt which he will profit from your payment.

You can still defend all and see if they wish to proceed and then still pay the debt should you lose to avoid the CCJ...which I very much doubt you would.

So Lowlifes got the CPR request on the 19th January.

 

Am I right in thinking that they have to get a reply to me by the 26th? Thats the plan but they wont

 

What is the next stage if they don't?

 

Just submit your defence on time.....you can refer to the CPR within your defence and the fact that they have failed to respond.

Just requires a few tweaks cheddar

 

You must respond to each point.....for example you have not made a response to 2..the default.

 

2) THE DEFENDANT FAILED TO MAINTAIN THE REQUIRED PAYMENTS AND A DEFAULT NOTICE WAS SERVED AND NOT COMPLIED WITH.

 

will take another look later when its quiet.

Particulars of Claim...

 

1) THE DEFENDANT ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH vodafone UNDER ACCOUNT REFERENCE **** ('THE AGREEMENT').

2) THE DEFENDANT FAILED TO MAINTAIN THE REQUIRED PAYMENTS AND A DEFAULT NOTICE WAS SERVED AND NOT COMPLIED WITH.

3) THE AGREEMENT WAS LATER ASSIGNED TO THE CLAIMANT ON 31/03/2014 AND NOTICE GIVEN TO THE DEFENDANT.

4) DESPITE REPEATED REQUESTS FOR PAYMENT, THE SUM OF £213.40 REMAINS DUE AND OUTSTANDING.

AND THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS

a) THE SAID SUM OF £213.40

b) INTEREST -£17.07-

c) COSTS

 

What is the value of the claim? £305.47

 

 

######Proposed defence######

 

1. Paragraph 1 is accepted.I have in the past entered into a contract with vodafone however I do not recall the exact details or recall any outstanding balance and have requested that the claimant verify the exact details of this claim by way of a CPR 31.14 request.The claimant has yet to comply.

 

2. Paragraph 2 is also noted but again I do not recall any breach and therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to:

 

(a) show how the Defendant has entered into a Agreement/ Contract; and

(b) show how the Defendant has reached the amount claimed for; and

© show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim;

 

3. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed.

 

4. On the alternative, if the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act.

 

5.Notwithstanding the above should the alleged amount claimed include an early termination charge(s) amounting to the entire balance of the remaining contract, OFCOM guidance states that any Early Termination Charge that is made up of the entire balance of the remaining contract is unlikely to be fair as it fails to take into account the fact that the provider no longer has to provide and pay for their service.

 

6. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

Cheddar...submission of your DQ does not appear on MCOL until a Notice of Allocation is served...this transfers the claim to your local county court and sets the directions you must comply with....once this is received MCOL will show the claim has been transferred out.

Got a bill from Lowlifes Solicitors and a copy of their DQ. Was I supposed to send one to them? Bill for what.?..the claim has not even been allocated to track yet

 

They also put "0" in the section of how many witnesses including them will show at court. Is that an admittance that they won't turn up? Seems odd to me. No they went to the same skool as Mr Carter..same maths teacher:-)

Sorry if I'm not to be asking questions until I get the allocation. I'm just curious.

No problem ask away
