    • 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.

Does anyone have any idea what timescales I'm looking at now, and what's likely to happen next? :confused:

 

I put on my AQ that I didn't want to go to court any time two weeks either side of May 27th 'cos that's my EDD, I'm just paranoid that I won't hear anything until near the time I'm due! :eek:

The AQ dates that you have given them are fine. The timescales depend on the individual court and the workload that they have.

 

I can assure you that if you mentioned pregnancy on the AQ they will avoid any dates within several weeks either side of your EDD as delivering babies in court isn't really a goer and as natural as it may be - nor is breastfeeding. You could probably write to the court and extend the "unavailable" window cos lets be fair, babies come when they are ready not when you expect them.

 

That said - look after baby - you won't be going to court.

Advice given is either my experience or my opinion and is given without liability. If in doubt, consult a qualified professional.

Never under estimate your ability. I won over £17,000!

Sorry to be a right royal pain but I am starting to panic now. I've heard nothing from the courts about a date, and it's ages since I sent off my AQ! Should I phone the court do you think? How long does it normally take from sending back the AQ until getting a date? Arrgh!

It certainly wouldn't hurt to phone the court.

 

It does seem to vary between claims on what timescale they settle at, but you are certainly at the latter stages now so shouldn't be too long.

Well for the last two days, I've been on the spend! Yes that's right ladies and gentlemen, buying much needed baby equipment and stuff for the nursery.

 

With what money?

 

Well, with money from NatWest.

 

So far so good, you're thinking.

 

Well, not quite.

 

I got a letter directly from NatWest, offering to pay a "goodwill gesture" of £2011. The bank charges, essentially. Well given that only a few weeks ago I'd been told by the courts that I wouldn't get a hearing until May, and with a baby on the way, and me getting bigger and bigger, I'm afraid I caved in and accepted the money. I did think for a moment about holding out until they paid the charges and the court costs, about £220 all together, but with a baby on the way and we hadn't even bought half the essentials and with me due in four weeks and not even enough to put in a hospital bag?

 

Well, I accepted.

 

So far so good; the money came through and I have been stocking up on essentials with a list of a few things left to spend (including a donation, of course, to this lovely site!), and yesterday I sent a letter to the court to cancel my claim, copying in Cobbetts.

 

Except that this morning I went to the sorting office, on the first day of my maternity leave, to pick up a special delivery that had arrived while I was still in work, from about two days ago.

 

In it was a letter from Cobbetts and a cheque, for the full amount of the charges, plus the court fees. :eek:

 

So what on earth do I do now?

 

I sincerely doubt I could get away with cashing the cheque as well, even though it does seem to be a case of the "left hand not knowing what the right hand's doing", because a letter is either on someone's desk at Cobbetts, or winding its way there now, to say that I've already been paid.

 

And also, throughout all this, all I wanted back was my bank charges. I'm not dishonest and would actually feel guilty if I did that and ended up with two lots of money. Not to mention the fear of being found out!

 

But an extra £200-odd quid in the court fees? That's gonna come in handy!

 

What do I do?

 

Do I sent the cheque back to Cobbetts and miss out on the extra £220?

 

Do I cash the cheque, then send NatWest a cheque via Cobbetts for the £2011?

 

What should I do next?

 

Oh, and - hey, it worked! I got my bank charges back! :) Thanks everyone!

i have read something similair before on this site and the advice then was unfortunately that you should send the second cheque back - they will invariably 'find out' when you least expect/need it

 

perhaps a site helper could err.....help? maybe send them a message directly

 

congrats on the cheque btw and imminent baby
