    • 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.

1. The section with the 8% interest cannot be used until you are at the court stage so leave that for the time being, you just use the other page that calculates the overall cost of the charges. ( thats if we have the same spreadsheet )

Guys

 

Just came across this thread. Why are you all not asking for compounded contractual interest?. If they charged you at their rate then claim it back.

If your credit card charge had 23% APR added, then claim that back before the court stage. If you get to the court stage,which Halifax have'nt done yet to my knowledge, will settle your claim. I got back my interest at 19.5% on top of each charge. Makes a big differance if your charges go back a few years.If it does go to the court stage, then you ask the judge to award your claim at the contractual rate. If he or she refuses, then ask for the 8%.

 

Hope this helps

Hi Applecrumble

I am at work so have'nt got a link for it just yet.

Hi Scouser

 

There are some spreadsheets here to assist you.

VAMPIRESS'S CHAMBER OF "CONSUMER ACTI...

 

You have to register to use them,it only takes a couple of minutes.

If you have a credit card with an interest rate of say 23%.. you claim back that amount on each charge.This will be compounded every month. The spreadsheets will work out how much you are owed when you put in the APR, by using the amount charged,then the date of the charge,this gives you days passed and gives you your interest figures.

The bank have charged you this figure of interest so claim it back.

Can make a big difference to your claim.

 

Good luck

There is hope Mikey. This site will help many others in the future. I ran up huge debt learning to Fly, as i was too old for sponsorship at the time. Shame the ageism law was'nt around 20 years ago. It was a chance i took and eventually it paid off. Contact me anytime. I'm about most days but not always in the country. I love wireless laptops.

 

Good luck
