    • 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.

Anything said is my opinion and how I understand the law, always consult professional legal advice before taking something to court.

I personally would make sure that you have minuted your current claim so that it's dismissed due to settlement and no longer active at Sheriff court. Only takes 2 minutes to do, and leaves you free to submit a new claim; in that case, there are never 2 cases in court at the same time.

Just wanted to say it's good to hear that people are starting to get some success going down the summary cause route. I find it really encouraging and am now even more determined to get my cash back!!

Hi all just to update checked bank account online tonight and halifax have paid my first claim plus costs and interest.Can anybody tell me how long i need to wait before putting in next claim,am doing 3 summery 1 small claims.Thanks for any help i have received from this great site.:) :) :)

 

 

Hi there willmur6! I was just wondering if you can help me! I am suing Halifax by Summary Cause on Monday. The only thing I`m worried about is the fact that the woman at the Sheriff Court today told me that a Sherriffs Officer has to serve the claim, and because I`m suing the Halifax, does that mean that the Officer has to go to their head office to serve it?

Maybe I`m better suing my own branch?!?

What did you do?

Thanks for any help!

Hi Jaffacat

Hope i can be of some help to you regarding summery cause,what happened with us was,we took claim to sheriff court and filed claim at court at a cost of £39 pounds there, then we went to a sheriff officer to get the claim served they then post the claim to head office by next day signed for mail the cost of this was £15.64 it was sent to halifax on the 20th oct halifax deemed it served on 26th oct paid out on the 23rd nov.Sent our second claim off on monday so we are waiting again.By the way the lady at the court gave us a list of sheriff officers so would be worth you asking for names.Hope this has been of some help to you if i can help anymore just ask.Keep going it will come soon.

Hi Willmurr, thanks for that! I just assumed that the Sherriff Officer had to serve the claim by hand. I didn`t realise that he could post it.

The lady at the court has already told me which Sherriffs Officer to use.

Can I just ask, did you use the standard wording in "Scottish Procedure" for the details of the claim?

Hey Willmurr6, how you doing? Had any good news lately? HBOS seem to be leaving things to the last minute lately. Maybe they are burried under a huge pile of court papers.LOL Filed papers for my mate she has the same court date as you, she hasn't heard anything yet either.

 

let us know how it's going.

Hi again willmurr,

just off the phone to my mate, told her to check her account, money refunded today.:D. She's well pleased.

I was going to phone them to give them another chance to settle too, but decided not to bother cause they didn't even reply to my offer to settle after winning my first claim. I wasn't in any hurry so i thought to hell with it, let them pay the costs and the extra interest.

Will pm you about the donation thing.
