    • 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.

Excellent stuff! Hopefully similar will happen to me by the end of the week too!!!!

 

Have you rang them? this seem to be the only way to get things moving. The poor lambs must be inundated with court papers.

I think I will have to give them a call. I hvae written to them and advised that they were late serving their defence and asked for a resolution without need to file for a judgement by default. Hopefully the money will just silently appear in my account.

 

The bams!

Bank and credit card reclaims - £9,806

Sainsburys CCA non-compliance with FOS;

Natwest reclaim of £340 in progress;

Egg credit card reclaim in progress

I would contact the court re getting a default judgement.

 

I believe that the Defendant can still submit a defence late up until the point judgement has been granted. I could be wrong though.

 

I had a similar problem with Abbey and they immediately submitted their defence - late - and the court accepted it.

HBOS Plc - £9,954.65 Received partial settlement - Court 6/12/06 default removal / compensation / declaration

MBNA - Settled in full £2,377.33

Abbey National - MoneyClaim filed 26/06/2006 £883.90

Lloyds TSB - Claim Filed 11/08/2006 £2,630.00

Egg.com - Claim Filed 11/08/2006 £1,393.60

GE Money - Claim Filed 11/08/2006 £965.22

filed a request for judgent a couple of days ago. However, reading through posts on this thread, have just contacted Halifax. Apparently, they sent claim info to their legal dept 10 days before the cut off date for their defence. The cannot understand why the legal dept has not followed up on this so they will contact their legal dept and get back to me today.

will keep y'all posted

Hi,

I in same boat, I entered Judgement on Tuesday this week, I had rang Halifax twice, but they just said that it will be dealt with as normal process!! I have also sent a letter to Halifax, stating they now have until 1700hrs next week to pay up or I issue warrant! (advise from MCOL, allow them 7days) Will keep you posted.

Good luck with yours

Now I'm really confused!

Went to the court on 1/12/06 to file a judgement since Halifax was deemed to be served on 10/11/06 and had until 24/11/06 to respond.

Just got a letter from the court today stating that

 

'the defendant filed an acknowledgement of service on 1 NOVEMBER 2006!

The defendant responded to the claim indicating an intention to defend all of the claim. The defendant has 28 days from the date of service of the claim form with particulars of claim, or of the particulars of claim, to file a defence.

The acknowlegement was filed by the solicitors acting for the defendant who have given the following name and address for service of documents ...then Halifax address'

 

What's this all about? How can Halifax have filed an acknowledgement of service on 1/11/06 before being served on 10/11/06.

Could this be a typo?

What do I do now?

Telephone the court, quote the claim number and ask them what is happening.

iGroup (GE Money) - AoS Filed late, defence late, amended defence also late despite extra time requested and granted.

Vanquis - Claim issued, no AoS or Defence received

called the court. It was a typo and should have been 1/12/06

In the mean time spoke to a 'very nice man' at Halifax who says there is no record of my claims in the Legal dept. have sent copies of both claims for his attention. have to wait until Monday now.

Will keep you posted
