    • 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.

Hey,

 

I haven't posted on here in a long time but I have just received a Claim Form from Lowell Solicitors on behalf of Provident.

 

I used to work in litigation, but that was 7+ years ago (unqualified legal assistant), so whilst I am familiar with small claims and county court processes, I am a little rusty all the same, so I hope to get some information from people in the know...

 

The date of issue is 31/01

 

I have filed AOS

 

I am calculating the date for the defence to be by 04/03.

 

I have made a CCA request to Lowell

 

Plus I have made a CPR 31.14 request to Lowell Solicitors

 

The part that I need help with if is... I don't really know how to defend my claim. Do I just hope that they cannot find the agreement, unable to provide a legible copy, or there is an issue with the contents etc?

 

If I remember rightly then this loan dates back to 2010/11 - in which case it might be statue barred? I have made a payment to them in almost the same amount of time. I will need a copy of the agreement to see what date is on it.

 

Is there anything else I should do or be aware of?

 

I stopped paying because I was struggling with my mental health; I received a bi-polar diagnosis whilst battling other health issues - so I just lost all touch with reality for a while.

 

Thanks in advance!

Ok so far. The key bit of information you need is last date of payment, which i would suggest you obtain from Provident. Give them a phone call to ask for this information to be sent to you and follow up in writing if necessary. Provident should be able to send you a copy of the statement showing when you last paid and confirm the date the account was defaulted.

 

Provident should still be able to access your records. They just need the loan reference which Lowell should have provided. They will ask basic questions to identify you e.g full, date of birth, full address at time of taking out the loan.

We could do with some help from you.

Many thanks mark

Just a quick update on this one...

 

I sent a CPR 31.14 request to Lowell Solicitors, today they responded...

 

"Upon reviewing the account, a commercial decision was made to close the account. The claim issued in this matter has been discontinued, a copy is enclosed for your information."

 

I'm guessing that they never had any of the documents they referred to in their pleadings!

 

Success!

 

Thanks everyone for the help and advice.
