    • 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.

Crumbs..never guess what!!!

I have to tell the story or you wouldn;t believe it.

Daph went to town tonight for a girly night out. She took an old handbag and her normal purse but didn't take her card wallet. She ran out of money early on and dipped into her bag only to find no card wallet, but an old card wallet with one of her older account cashpoint cards in (still valid). She doesn't use the old account much, few times a year sort of thing as a back up..you know somewhere safe to put a few quid where there's no overdraft to eat it up etc.

Anyway, off to hole in the wall and you would believe it..Lloyds made full settlement into that account (which is not the account she was claiming for) on 8th February which is day before the court case, they paid everything in the claim plus court/MCOL charges on top.

They never told her, no one has ever written..just really weird.

 

Anyway, she's still on her night out, I can imagine it may go on into the wee small hours.

She says I can take her to PC World next week to get her a PC and get her online and she will register here and say thanks personally and make a donation.

 

Now that's all done I will get round to starting my own claim. Also as I'm in the middle of remortgaging I will be looking to claim back arrears charges from Future Mortgages real soon as well ;)

 

I would like to say many thanks for the support, the community spirit here is incredible...well done to everyone

Excellent!!!! Congratulations!:D

 

If I were you, I'd write to the court to notify them that its settled, and also request costs on unreasonable behaviour grounds - as per the letter I linked above. They've messed you around something chronic and I think you have a very good chance of getting a sum in costs. Furtyher to that, you attended a hearing, so your entitled to request costs for your travel expenses to the hearing and loss of earnings caused by attending the hearing - under CPR 27.14(3)(b)&©.

 

If you decide to go for it, let us know how you get on.:)
