    • 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 guys 

 

long story short....received PCN back in 2018!

 

Went to collect passenger from Trinity Business Park!! Got there, no passenger, stopped for a few minutes to try to get hold of passenger number provided as was informed passenger would be waiting outside! After no answer to call or response to any message I left. Few days later got the PCN from UKCPM!

 

did not stop long enough to get out to read signage or even notice signage, as I did not go with the intention to stop as I was picking up passenger!!

 

photos sent by UKCPM who say adequate signage is in place, clearly cannot be read whilst driving or sitting in the car. Driver does need to get out and read!! At the time signage was no parking at anytime, which I wasn’t, 

 

as I understand now last year signage has been changed to no stopping/no parking. Whilst I was there no other vehicles came or went through entrance, somehow someone managed to get pics of me there showing me there between 5-6mins!! 


it is a defended claim, I just want to know has anyone ever had court hearing at Birmingham and been successful with the charges!!

 

Have received the directions questionnaire, just not sure whether to choose Birmingham as court or not!!

 

I was literally there for a few minutes, probably 6 minutes max if that, as I was trying to contact the passenger!!

Hi guys I posted back in January 2020, but was unable to reply on that thread hence the new thread. Anyway update:

 

issue was trinity business park bickenhill. Taxi driver stopped for 3 minutes to collect passenger, passenger not there so left. UK CPM issued charge! Gladstone’s were the solicitors 
chose Birmingham County Court, hearing was for November, but court moved it forward. Changed from actual in person heating to telephone hearing for September. 


Main defence was the signage not clear, positioning not good, signage content too small, plus signage did not state no stopping! 
Gladstone’s decided not to be present on call for the hearing, judge dismissed the case on the basis that only had stopped for 3 minutes, signage did not say no stopping. There were no bays for parking as signage said to park in bay! Judge said they tried to claim a ridiculous amount for a mere 3 minutes! So there we have it guys. 


remember if you have a good defence then fight it all the way! Don’t let these creeps try to steal to money!

  • honeybee13 changed the title to UKPCM PCN Claimform - Trinity Park - ** CASE DISMISSED **
  • AndyOrch changed the title to UKPCM PCN Claimform - Trinity Park - Gladstones Solicitors lost the case *** Claim Dismissed***

To be honest with you I’m just glad it’s over. I did ask the judge about expenses but she said as it is small claims it’s very less likely that they will agree to it. I’m just happy that in the end it was a victory for us!! They tried their best to get money out of me but in the end the justice was served and they lost. 
I will look into this GDPR thing, not sure what that is, so will do some research into it.

Yeah they obviously did know they wouldn’t win!!

that’s exactly what we were trying to tell them, the car was not parked. But Gladstone’s have their own mind!! Anyhow they lost!! But they don’t learn their lesson, if it’s not me it’s someone else they will try to rob!!
