    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.

    • 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 re read all my posts on this subject and realise that i have been coming across as a complete T*T. I humbly apologise to you all for that.

 

I recieved an email attachment from this dealers solicitor this morning.

 

As it is the Christmas nothing can be done at the moment, so i will post further in a couple of days.

 

I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

 

Please don't worry. We have lots of people who come to this forum and really don't understand the way forward – and that's why they're here.
To that extent, you are simply one person in the majority of the huge number.

What is really moving is this very decent post that you made – and frankly that puts you back again in a minority of one because I don't think we've ever had anybody big enough to put their hands up in public like this.

Please don't worry. This is a great Community and we will help you to go forward on this.

I'm looking forward to seeing the email that they sent you – so when you're ready….

Have a great Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

I hope you all had a nice peaceful Christmas.

 

Thankyou all for your kind replies.

Bit off topic. The MV is a very good replica of Giacomo Agostinis bike from the late 1960s. The small group also have a Mike Hailwood Honda 6 replica, from the same period. Man, you should hear that Honda running, wow.!

 

I was there on the IOM when that epic duel between those 2 for the senior race took place. 1969 i think.

 

Sorry, back to business .

 

I will post up the following. A letter i sent to BRM select cars. 

 

Email from BRMs Solicitor received on the same date.

so a begging gesture.. you have them on the run.

 

and how can you test lights in the daytime???:crazy: 

 

have you attained a quote to fit the required lights yet ?

 

and if your car is like mine you should be able to use it's VIN number on the BMW website and findout exactly what spec lights it was built with.

Yes, that's what i think. Had a phone conversation on Thurs 2312/2012 with Harry Bing of BRM cars.

To check if they received my emails.

 

He was pretending to be just the salesman.' Out of my hands, with my bosses' and all that.

He is actually the proprietor, i was told when i visited.

 

Their Solicitor has taken my 'choosing a particular spec of car' completely out of context. Oh dear!

 

I have not got quotes for fitting the correct lights yet, everywhere has been closed for Christmas.

Calling on the local Mercedes dealer tomorrow(if their open) to get a quote and ask if they can call

up the build spec.

 

Will also get on the Mercedes website to see if i can find a build list.

 

Second hand light units of the correct spec are £450/500 on ebay. Thats without all the other bits

plus labour.

Sorry that TT i refer to was 1967. I'm getting old. haha

Hi

 

I have to agree with dx100uk

 

Now you mention 'Their Solicitor has taken my 'choosing a particular spec of car' completely out of context' so how do you exactly know it is a solicitor that wrote that letter as it is only signed 'lawgistics' it could have been anyone in that company that wrote that letter. (so bear this in mind you don't have a clue if this is a Solicitor/Paralegal/someone with no legal training)

 

What I would question before you do actually respond to Lawgistics is:

 

Thank you for your letter dated XX/XX/2021 reference my issue with BRM Select Cars Ltd which has only been signed 'Lawgistics' Lawgistics Ltd.

 

Before I respond I require clarification as to the legal qualification of the individual that sent that letter whether they are a Solicitor/Para Legal and Registration Number.

Please don't send them any more correspondence. Don't have any more conversations with them.

You are not in a position to do anything further until you get the quotation for the fitting of the correct lighting system as advised several days ago.

When you have done that then please come back here.

In terms of uploading documents, it's a matter for you but we would normally advise people to have their documents fully redacted so that your personal details are concealed – but in any event, please upload documents in multipage single file PDF format – and also name the file so that it gives some indication as to what it contains.

What you could usefully put up please is a copy of the advertisement which describes the lighting system and upon which you relied.

You also said that the lighting system you expected to find on the car is part of the standard specification. Please can you post up the standard specification as well which particularises the lighting system.

Incidentally, you are under no obligation to test the lighting system or any other part of the vehicle. You are entitled to rely on their advertisement and also the standard specification.

 

Pay no attention to their so-called solicitors lawgistics. They seem to be the vehicle industry gopher.

One further thing occurs to me.

When getting quotations for the installation of the lighting system, it needs to be a proper installation carried out by an approved installer. On the basis that you have a relationship with BRM which may endure for several years as you may need to go back there again in respect of further defects, you certainly don't want to put them in a position where they could disclaim for other defects by saying that it was somehow connected with the poor standard of work which are being carried out installing a new system of lights.

I understand very well that this would mean that you would be installing the lights – and I understand from you that in fact you would now rather return the car – which I think is probably the correct decision.

Also, you don't need to look around and cheapskates on this. We need to get a proper quotation for a decent standard of work with the system properly supplied and guaranteed.

Don't forget that eventually opposition is going to be to explain to BRM that you will sue them for the cost of the lighting system which will then put them completely out of pocket as they will lose all profit on the car or they can simply accept the car back in order to resell it in which case they will have a zero loss.

 

If you get super cheap lights and a price for installation by a backstreet installer - you are only doing favours for BRM - and you won't be helping yourself

Also, you want to make sure that the quotation you get for the installation of the lighting system includes the supply of the lights and the installation by the same people. Do not fragment this work because if you do, you end up fragmenting legal liability so that a supplier can blame an installer and an installer can blame supplier. Piggy in the middle – and you are piggy

Ah!  If the race you recall was when Ago's chain broke, I think it was 1967(?).  I remember watching it as a kid from the foot of our garden - we were fortunate enough to live on the course at a great location.

 

'Bikes sounded different (better!) then...

 

Anyway - Happy New Year and good luck with the Merc.

Whoops!  You corrected to 1967 before I posted.  That'll teach me to read everything before replying to posts...

 

(I admit I had to look it up to make sure it was 1967 though.  The real reason I remember is because I think it was Hailwood's last year at the TT.  I remember Ago's dominance of the early 70s better).

Hi all.

 

I have not yet obtained a quote for upgrading the light system. Awkward with the Christmas hols.

 

Their 'Solicitor' office is closed until 04/01/2022. I will be following advise to check their qualifications etc.

 

stu007 thanks for the links to the company house data. Most enlightening and very useful.

Yes it's a bad time of the year to be dealing with this kind of thing but hopefully you will get the quotes that you need in January.

You say that this car was normally fitted with xenon lights as standard so I wonder why this particular once you have bought does not have them.

 

 

Also I remember that I asked you about the name of the person you have been dealing with but I'm not sure that you gave us an answer

Hi all. Happy New Year.

 

As advised, i contacted Lawgistics to clarify their qualifications. To date i have had no reply.

 

The person i dealt with at BRM Select cars calls himself Harry Bing. His real name is Sukhvinder Singh. He is listed on Companies House as Director with 3/4 control.

 

I find it impossible to get a quote to upgrade the light system. My local Mercedes dealer called up the build spec. today. The car was built with the halogen light system from new.

 

I was advised that an upgrade to zenon or led is totally unviable. The wiring and control systems would be incompatable. Also there would possibly be a problem with fitting upgraded lights to the existing bodywork.

 

Therefore I do not think upgrading the lights and sueing for the cost is an avenue that i can use.

 

My intention now is to send a Letter of Claim to BRM Select cars Ltd. as soon as possible, basing my claim on my rights under the CRA 2015.

 

In the meantime i will have to read up on the method for issuing a claim with the Court  under the fast track procedure.

 

When i have it complete i will post it up here for any advice before sending.

Yes will your claim will go to the fast track – but on the basis of what you have told us, your position is pretty secure and you have a better than 95% chance of success – and that's just me being a bit cautious.

I've just gone back through the thread and I see that it is one of our site team who suggested you write to lawgistics.

I wouldn't have advised this myself. It's a bit like feeding a Troll.

I agree.  If Mercedes are saying this model was only ever fitted with halogen lights and that xenon lights can't be retrofitted, then the car must have misrepresented and not as advertised in the first place.
