    • 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.

Can someone clear this up please, I have an RBS account in England , sent DPA letter etc, and heard nothing, when I called the branch I was referred to the head office in Scotland, is this ok? my branch did nothing with the letter and I seem to be getting somewhere with Head Office,

 

Can someone please tell me what the liabilities are if my claim is being delt with over the border ? When I submit Court Proceedings, I will be doing so in England because that is where my account is based and I live. Is there any difference please ?

 

DPA letter sent : RBS 04/03/06

Hi there

 

I'm a bit further along the trail but this thread has started to get me worried.

 

Basically I have an account in England however all my paperwork has been forwarded to Scotland. The deadline on my LBA has expired so I am just about to file a court claim. I entered the address (which is in Scotland), from the letter they had sent me letter confirming they had recieved my correspondance, into MCOL and it said it could not deal with claims over the border?

 

Please tell me I haven't dropped a clanger!?!

 

If any of you have found anything more out I'd be interested to know.

 

Cheers Jonat

stivis, you've dragged up a post from April last year and caused a bit of alarm with some slightly off the mark info....

 

It doesn't matter what the rules are in Scotland as the OP and jonat are in England, it doesn't matter a hoot who has been writing to them.

 

Tommy MacLean & Customer Relations are based in Scotland and they are the bunch dealing with all of this.

 

IT HAS NO IMPACT WHATSOEVER ON YOUR ACTION!

 

They will merely attempt to delay you somewhat and perhaps, if you're lucky, make you an offer that may or may not resemble your actual claim.

 

When it comes to claiming you should use your branch address if that's in England or this one if you prefer

 

RBS LITIGATION

1 PRINCESS STREET

LONDON

EC2R 8P

Well .There you go!!!!! ......

 

I don't think anyone was disputing that Tommy MacLean is in Scotland, it's quite likely that the ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND would have offices in SCOTLAND.

 

What I'm telling you is that the fact that TMcL is corresponding with you from Scotland does not impact your case. If your own address is in England and you have an address in England for the bank (which you do - either your branch or the Litigation address above) then your claim is under English Law in the English County Court - be it MCOL or your local court.

My first post. Treat me kindly...

 

My branch is in Scotland, but I live in England (and have never actually been to my branch as my old branch closed). Will I be able to issue proceedings in England?

First off, best place to start is just by sending all letters to Customer Relations in Edinburgh, attention either Sandy Watt or Tommy McLean.

Start with the SARS, add up the charges, then the Prelim, then the LBA. (If you have all your statements just jump into the prelim)

IMHO, if your claim is for under approx. £1500 they will probably settle before you issue a court claim anyway....seems to be the trend however I probably just jinxed my second claim there! :)

When I claimed, I didnt even bother with my branch, just went straight to Customer Relations. (Branch is in Essex)

Settled first claim within a month and half.

 

Just read thru all the threads, read the step by step and start your own thread. loads of RBOS claimers here to help you out. AND GOOD LUCK!

Your address is in England and that is the important part. Use the Litigation address in London for MCOL.

 

By all means correspond with Customer Relations but I wouldn't bother with Sandy Watt as apparently he is a temp and has no actual decision making authority (his own words - from another thread)
