    • I am sorry about getting your status mixed up.  I have noticed one thing in your excellent WS. On their claim they are only pursuing you as the keeper-I think it is  in their Point C that  states along the lines of -the driver did not pay , so the keeper is liable. So on your No keeper Liability section  You may prefer  to alter 13 to    . It is trite Law that the driver and the keeper cannot be regarded  as the same person and the claimant has failed to offer any proof who was driving.  BY  only pursuing the keeper  when the PCN does not comply with PoFA must mean that their claim fails. See what the Site team thinks as it should  stop the Judge from looking at who was driving as your statement preempts them from even thinking about it.
    • What would suffice as proof? I just emailed them back my date of birth. Should I send a copy of driving licence? 
    • Which Court have you received the claim from ? Northampton   MCOL Northampton N1 ? Manual Claim CCMCC (Salford) ?

    • 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 im sorry if this is in the wrong forum

 

Car Toyota Avensis 2.2d 2007

 

My sisters car went in for some work to be done after she slid into a kerb in the snow the garage i took it to said it need a new bottom are and the ball joint that is attached to it and it would be ok so i left wit h them as they said it was too dangerous to drive and they gave me a lift back i have now had a phone call saying that while it was parked up waiting for parts in their yard it had been scratched heavily and gauged on the front left side bumper and they said it would cost an extra £150 on top of the £195 to fix the original fix of the bottom arm and ball joint

 

They continued on to tell me i had left the car at my own risk and they were no responsible for the damage thus leaving me an extra £150 out of pocket which she can not afford if we have it done

Please tell me if am liable for this or if they are as im sure its their problem as it was in their care not mine

Please can you tell us more about how this damage apparently occurred and also more information about how they attempted to disclaim liability for it.

 

In principle though, they cannot disclaim liability for this damage.

16129264_10154920688572953_1832409904_o.jpgthe damage was done while it was parked in their yard after while they were waiting for another part to come through as the part they ordered originally didn't fit they are saying that someone must have hit it overnight while they were away and saying that as they didn't do it themselves they are not liable as the gates to it the yard are not locked and anyone could get just drive in all i keep getting from them is i left it at my own risk and a just now a very rude message swearing at me telling me they done me a favor not letting me drive it home when i took it in and by giving me a lift home

In that case I don't see that there is any way that they can disclaim ability for this.

 

I would suggest that you take the car away and get the damage assessed by an independent third party. Then write to the garage with a copy of the quote for repairs and asked them to pay for it. I would not risk leaving it with the garage any more and I certainly wouldn't risk asking them to repair the damage.

 

If push comes to shove then I think that if you started a small claim against them, your chance of success would be better than 95%.

 

Make sure that you do everything in writing. If you do anything on the phone then read our customer services guide first. If you are receiving messages from them make sure you store the messages. If you're talking about voicemail messages then make sure that you store them off the phone. If you're talking about text messages then get those off the phone as well and print them out.

Where is the car?

If they still have the car then I don't rate your chances of getting away from them without paying for the work they have done.

 

In that case, for a simple life the thing to do is to pay their bill, get the car away and then start claiming – as I've suggested above.

 

If by some amazing chance they have released the can't you, then no – I suggest that you don't pay anything until you find out the value of the damage that they have caused

Let them know that they are responsible for the damage and that you will be billing them. If they dont pay then a small claims procedure will get them focussed. The only fly in the ointment is that they were in a position to mitigate things by repairing it themselves so I hope you can find someone to corroborate their statement about charging you.

You must be a mentally strong person.

I would have punched him on the nose and then said: "what's your problem? It's not that bad" while he bled on the floor.

Well done for resisting the temptation.

I personally think you should get your car fixed and then bill them with a mcol in sight.

I bet they would pay up as soon as they received court papers.

Get the CCTV secured.

Why would you foot the bill yourself when you could sue them and have an extremely good chance at winning.

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..
