    • 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.

Thanks, am doing some last minute prepping.

Ok managed to speak to someone at Barclays at the 11th hour (after 4 so the courts were shut) and they have agreed to up my payment and pay by cheque, they have also asked me to inform the courts that we have reached a settlement.

What do I do now, as I have a) not got the cheque and B) am due in court tomorrow afternoon?

I'm no expert however I would go to court and politely tell the judge that you've had quite a few verbal promises off Barclays recently but they have failed to deliver each time ... in view of that you thought it best to attend today so that the judge may consider whether it was most appropriate to get an official judgement...explain that you are worried that if Barclays do not honour the verbal settlement offered, you'd have to begin it all again and that THAT would be an even bigger waste of the court's valuable time.

3 Active Claims:

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Sole account) - Applied to lift court ordered Stay

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Joint account) - Awaiting court date

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Joint account) Pre-6 yrs- LBA sent.

 

 

3 Wins :

Barclays t/a The Woolwich (Data Protection Act breach costs & compliance)

HSBC (on behalf of brother)

Settled Out of Court - £3,874.76

Alliance & Leicester (on behalf of friend)

Settled Out of Court - £723.41

Barclays agreed to settle at the 11th hour (12th according to the judge), but I still went to court and the judge has granted an order in my favour to make sure that I do get my money and by cheque and he thought that was a reasonable request as it is my money.

The judge was also not impressed that Barclays took there time to respond to my letter / didnt return emails or phonecalls etc then rang late yesterday to make an offer.

He was very nice put me at ease and as I was leaving told me 'just to let you know that you can apply for personal costs for wasted time etc'

 

Big thanks to everyone from this site for all there help and support in the last few months. Donation will be made as soon as cheque is in bank and cleared.:D
