    • 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 everyone, just to let you know that I have successfully reclaimed back 3 years worth of illegal bank charges IN FULL !!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bank (Natwest) even sent me a letter telling me that as they have paid me I must keep quiet and not tell anyone. haha what a joke! well guys, it took me less than 8 weeks, cost me 5 stamps and I didnt even have to go to court! Just to let you know roughly how much I claimed back I would have had to work for 4 months to get the same amount of money so you get the idea. As long as it is less than £5000 you are claiming then you will be fine and remember follow the steps to the letter and stick to your guns and you will get ALL your money back! As we speak I hve started another claim for more charges from Natwest and also Alliance & Leicester. If you want my opinion go to Nationwide they are really friendly and when you go abroad they don't charge you to take money out where as the likes of Alliance and Leicester do! Good luck everyone I will let you know how I get on with Natwest claim 2 and Alliance and Leicester!

They have paid me back in FULL! I recieved a letter today saying that I will be paid £761 within the next few days! Woooooooo! They told me that since the case was going through small claims court it would cost them too much to defend it and they wouldn't be able to reclaim their costs if they won. So without accepting liabilty they will pay up (as a goodwill gesture apparently). Which I suppose ammounts to saying that they think they are still right but they will pay up.

 

Anyway, thanks to everyone at Consumer Action Group for your great support over the last few months.

 

Admin, can you add PAID IN FULL to my thread title? Thanks.

 

Also how do I donate to the site?

 

Congratulations - well done! Just a quick question, as I've asked others on the forums - did you claim statutory 8% interest or contractual? There are arguments made (and very good ones) that contractual can be claimed so I just wanted to check with someone who'd won their money back from the Halifax as they're telling me I cannot claim statutory.
