    • 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.

Rang the Halifax- are they just herding people off the street to answer phones in customer relations- or did I just get the person who just started?

 

Anyway, she said- without much confidence when questioned- that someone would ring me back today. Problem is they didn't have my phone number so I had to make her put it in the note to ring me.

 

I think I've got more chance getting a phonecall from George Clooney....

Rang the Halifax again (well if I owed them money they would ring me twice in one afternoon).

 

Got to describe their behaviour as "codswallop". I don't often get to use that word, so it was fun.

 

They now say they will refer to a review manager to contact me, they've already gone home today, so not today then.

 

They may write to me.

 

I told them that they had til friday to talk to me, then I was away until the day of the court case. I pointed out they have provided me or the court with any information which they will be using in court, and I will have no option but to do a wasted costs order- hence their behaviour was total codswallop.

 

I still like that word.

Anyway, my cousin is lending me the money to go to my brother's funeral. So I can go.

 

But I hate having to borrow money off someone- it just tears me up having to ask. After all, my cousin has a large mortgage and a family to take care of. She's very kind, but its just horrible having to ask. But there was no alternative.

 

If the bl***y Halifax had paid up I wouldn't have had to!

The Halifax sent me a letter today, saying that they have now decided to settle the above claim in full having "considered the commercial realities of the time and expense in trying to resolve this matter in court."

 

Unfortunately they have decided to credit my current account with the remaining amount needed to settle my claim in full.

 

THIS ACCOUNT IS CLOSED.

 

ARgh!

 

So I've left them a phone message saying, until you send me a correct letter, which doesn't contain incorrect information saying you will credit a closed account, I have no option to continue with the claim. And that by sending a generic letter template which you couldn't be bothered to check is correct in this case, I feel you are misleading the court.

 

The thing is I've won. I know I've won. But I don't trust them and with everything else thats going on, it feels like a hollow victory.

Does this sound right for a letter about the remaining charges.

 

Thank you for your letter dated 13th June 2007.

 

 

Since I have undertaken this court claim, I have discovered another four charges levied on my account.

 

Now that my court claim has concluded, I am writing to ask you to refund to me these charges.

 

 

As you settled my court claim in full having considered the commercial realities, time and expense of resolving this matter in court, you are aware that I will have no hesitation of pursuing the refund of these remaining charges to court if necessary.

 

 

I have included with this letter, a schedule of the four remaining charges.

 

Does that sound ok?

I rang them and complained that they stated they would be crediting a closed account- and got a grovelling apology from them on the answerphone when I came back from the supermarket.

 

They will be sending me a cheque immediately. The letter was dated 13/6/07, so probably withing a couple of days. If it doesn't get here by thursday, I have told them I am still going to court. So they are going to hurry, methinks.

 

And they're paying me a few quid more than I calculated, so thats good.
