    • 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

 

I have received a 'Letter Before Action' for a parking charge where i didn't get a ticket.

 

 

This happened almost 12 months ago in a new car park at the Huddersfield Infirmary.

 

 

There are no barriers and the ticket machine isn't simple to find.

 

 

My biggest issue with this is that this 'Letter Before Action' is the first letter i have received about this

and they are asking me for £140!!

Can they do this?

 

 

I thought the fines for these types of things are about £30?

 

 

Also, the offence was almost 12 months ago,

aren't they supposed to send something to me much sooner than now?

 

Thanks in advance

Yes they are and they are not fines, they are speculative invoices.

 

One of the parking experts will see this and be along to advise shortly

Hi

 

This was sent from Civil Enforcement Ltd

 

I am assuming they must of sent a previous letter before as they claim they are refering to a matter that still remains unresolved. I haven't had any previous letters or contact with them though. Don't they need to send these letters as recorded delivery or something to prove that they have sent out the necessary letters to be able to take us to court?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Please can you advise what my best course of action should be? Should i write back to them to say this is the first letter that i have recieved from them? If the fine was more reasonable i would just pay it to end the hastle but £140 is a bit steep!

 

Thanks

Yep, they are saying i have an outstanding debt of £140

(i am just calling this a fine but maybe that is the wrong terminology?).

 

 

The date of the incident is 31/03/2015 which is now over a year ago

although they sent the letter on 21/03/2016.

 

 

I am just trying to understand what is best for me to do about this

as how can i defend this now it is a year later,

 

 

since then they have probably changed all the signs (if they have any!),

added extra payment meters in the car park etc.

 

 

From the sound of the letter i would assume they have previously tried to contact me

but i have never recieved anything and now they are making threats of court action if i don't pay £140!

Basically, ignore them. You dont have to pay a single penny as they havent followed the rules or law.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

CEL are crooks, nothing else. If you want to respond just write back and say that they have failed to comply with the PoFA and there is no keeper liability so any claim will be defended and treated as vex and full costs recovery sought.

Dont add or subtract from this simple response.
