    • 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.

I have just been through my alliance and leicester bank statements since January 05 and have totalled up £2470 worth of charges. I have written the initial letter requesting a refund for the full amount and enclosed a schedule of charges.

 

I now have to wait 14 days!

 

Can people who have been through this let me know what the usual response is after this stage? I am interested to know and want to start planning my next attack! :grin:

Hi sozzer1982 first you should read the faqs and some posts as all info you will need will be in there, you say jan 05 what about before then unless that was when u opened that account, if not and you dont have all statements then send in a Subject Access Request you will find this under bank templates in the library, good luck.

Hi Sozzer and welcome.

The next letter will basicly say that the charges are fair and they don't agree that your charges are unfair, they will also go on to say how the oft were on about credit card charges. All of this will be to scare you off. Keep reading through the threads on this site and like George says the FAQ's.

The Alliance and Leicester success story's gives really good encoragement and anything your really not sure about then post on this thread and someone will try their best to answer and point you in the right direction.

You will need to open a parachute account as a&l will close your account after they have paid out which is usually just after the MCOL stage.

Hope this helps. :D
