    • 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.

We are very interested in the fact that you say that you have identified this person – and I'm not sure why you haven't shared that information with us all here as well.

As you are aware, one of the problems here is identifying the dealer and also where the dealer lives and what assets the dealer has because this would make it easier to get the police to take an interest and also to begin the necessary legal actions to obtain compensation.

I'm not too sure why you haven't volunteered all of this information because the rest of your story has been pretty detailed.



Thanks

I suspect the first name is the dealer in question. I suspect that the second name – is actually the owner of the property and may be a parent. We have to assume that the parent has nothing to do with it and is simply providing a home for the first named

I think starting an action that is going to cost £450 is a bit of a high risk given the very slim chances of enforcing the judgement.

Somebody needs to bring an action for a minimal some of just over £600 which will allow the action to go ahead and the shares to be put into the address at Birmingham.

I'm afraid that as much as we want to get this guy, I think that if you try to sue for the whole value of your vehicle – then £450 may well be money down the drain.

I do agree that the chances of people getting their money back here are very slim. However, the way things are going I think it's very possible that he would be arrested and will eventually spend some time in prison.

If anyone of these victims wants to sue this outfit then we will help you.


However, given that we don't really have a name for this fraudster or an address.  Given also that we have no idea of the existence of any assets for enforcement in the event that we could identify him and his address all mean that any attempt to bring a claim would be frustrated and only result more waste of money in terms of court fees.

Well done. We are all rooting for you and it's certainly a big investment.

Thank you very much indeed for letting us know.

Can you tell is what address you had it served on?

  • dx100uk changed the title to Yewtree cars/James Harrison - court claim issued

Thanks. In that case we know who you're talking about and as far as I can gather that his father's address.

If there is no defence then you should get a judgement and then you should transfer up to the High Court enforcement officers for rapid and robust enforcement.

I wonder what his father will say when they turn up and start trying to take the furniture away.

Yup, that's the one.

How about seeing the claim form?

Of course the Harrison/Hudson/YewTree people are following the threads on this forum so they will know that the claim has been issued. He had better warn his dad. Also, we've got the other person – I can't remember her name who comes along and pretends to work for the Midlands police. What a load of shysters – the lot of them
