    • Oh I see! thats confusing, for some reason the terms and conditions that Evri posted in that threads witness statement are slightly different than the t&cs on packlinks website. Their one says enter into a contract with the transport agency, but the website one says enter into a contract with paclink. via website: (c) Each User will enter into a contract with Packlink for the delivery of its Goods through the chosen Transport Agency. via evri witness statement in that thread: (c) Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency I read your post at #251, so I should use the second one (and changing the screenshot in the court bundle), since I am saying I have a contract with Evri? Is that correct EDIT: Oh I understand the rest of your conversation. you're saying if I was to do this i would have to fully adjust my ws to use the consumer rights act instead of rights of third parties. In that case should I just edit the terms and stick with the third parties plan?. And potentially if needed just bring up the CRA in the hearing, as you guys did in that thread  
    • First, those are the wrong terms,  read posts 240-250 of the thread ive linked to Second donough v stevenson should be more expanded. You should make refernece to the three fold duty of care test as well. Use below as guidance: The Defendant failed its duty of care to the Claimant. As found in Donoghue v Stevenson negligence is distinct and separate to any breach of contract. Furthermore, as held in the same case there need not be a contract between the Claimant and the Defendant for a duty to be established, which in the case of the Claimant on this occasion is the Defendant’s duty of care to the Claimant’s parcel whilst it is in their possession. By losing the Claimant’s parcel the Defendant has acted negligently and breached this duty of care. As such the Claimant avers that even if it is found that the Defendant not be liable in other ways, by means of breach of contract, should the court find there is no contract between Claimant and Defendant, the Claimant would still have rise to a claim on the grounds of the Defendant’s negligence and breach of duty of care to his parcel whilst it was in the Defendant’s possession, as there need not be a contract to give rise to a claim for breach of duty of care.  The court’s attention is further drawn to Caparo Industries plc v Dickman (1990), 2 AC 605 in which a three fold test was used to determine if a duty of care existed. The test required that: (i) Harm must be a reasonably foreseeable result of the defendant’s conduct; (ii) A relationship of proximity must exist and (iii) It must be fair, just and reasonable to impose liability.  
    • Thank you. here's the changes I made 1) removed indexed statement of truth 2) added donough v Stevenson in paragraph 40, just under the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 paragraph about reasonable care and skill. i'm assuming this is a good place for it? 3) reworded paragraph 16 (now paragraph 12), and moved the t&cs paragraphs below it then. unless I understood you wrong it seems to fit well. or did you want me to remove the t&cs paragraphs entirely? attached is the updated draft, and thanks again for the help.

    • 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.

Mazda/Santander PCP - My 2 week old new car is faulty and dealership won't replace it.

Hi I'm a newbie and really hope that someone can give me some advice please.

I purchased a new car on pcp

two weeks after picking it up, it broke down,

the recovery company put it on a diagnostic machine and deemed it unsafe to drive, I had to sign a waiver that I wouldn't drive it.

The report also showed that the very same fault had happened before at 2 miles on the clock and this code had been deleted, this was before I took bought it.

 I took delivery of the car with 10 miles on the clock.  Eventually it was recovered back to the dealership, who eventually after over a week was told by the manufacturer that it needed a powertrain module , but this isn't in stock and has been put on back order for at least 8 to 10 weeks, but could be more.

I have asked the dealership for a replacement car, as I wasn't happy that such a major fault had happened and after just two weeks of purchasing it, that the car had been sold to me with the fault, and that I could be without my car for months.  They have said no, they are going to repair it.

I have spoken to the finance company that I have the pcp finance with and they have said, that because the car was taken back to the dealership, the short term right to reject it now void. 

Is this correct because it doesn't seem fair.

Thank you for reading it and hope you can help.

Thanks

Tina

What is the name of the dealer?

What is the name of the finance company?

You have it in writing that the finance company said that the short time right to reject is now void?

Please can you give us a bullet pointed chronology of events. We have no idea of the timescales here.

Please tell us about the car – make, model, mileage et cetera.

You also haven't told us anything about the price paid and whether the finance was a loan or hire purchase

That lot to start with – at least.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply.

The dealer is Mazda

The finance company is Santander

I haven't got it in writing, I was told via a phone call today, but I'm sure that I will get this.

I purchased the Car on the 21/4/2023

It broke down on the 5/5/2023

The recovery company carried out a diagnostic report on the car on the 5/5/2023

I was told the car wasn't safe to drive and to sign a waiver on the 5/5/2023

It was noted on the diagnostic report 5/5/2023 that this same fault had previously happened at 2 miles on the clock but had been cleared.

The car was taken to the dealership on the 10/5/2023

The dealership informed me on the 16/5/2023 that it needed a powertrain module and that it was on back order for at least 8 to 10 weeks.

I requested a replacement vehicle on the 17/5/2023

I was told today that the dealership will not replace the car.

The Car is a Mazda CX5 Takumi

I purchased the car with 10 miles on the clock

The car has done 149 Miles (5/5/2023)

The purchase price was £28750 (after deposits)

The finance is PCP

My first payment is due on 22/05/2023, which I know I have to pay.

 

Hope this is ok

Thanks

Tina

  • dx100uk changed the title to Mazda/Santander PCP - My 2 week old new car is faulty and dealership won't replace it.

Sorry, PCP??

You should immediately write a letter to both of them – the dealer and the finance company and tell them that you are asserting your rights under the consumer rights act because of the defects in the vehicle and you want a refund, cancellation all agreements and to know what arrangements they are going to make to recover the vehicle.

You only have 30 days from the date that you purchased the vehicle and that means that you better get the letter into them now – by email. Don't hang around.

I do mean – Now.

Come back here when you have done it

 

In your letter, refer to the conversation you had with the finance company and say that this letter is a confirmation of your assertion of your right to reject which was originally made by telephone on XXX date

Hi,

 

I'll write the letter now, thanks, is it the consumer rights act 2015?  and can I put in the letter that I request a replacement vehicle?

 

 

Tina

 

Yes, you can request a refund or replacement at your option.

But for the moment don't start getting worked up about what you're going to ask for. Simply send the letter asserting your rights and telling them you want the refund and that they must collect the vehicle.

This has to go by email straightaway. The only have 30 days and you are pretty well there.

Once again, don't hang around and don't come back here until you can tell us that you have sent the letter

Don't expect anything to happen, but at least you have a asserted your right within the statutory time.

 

Let us know if there is a response or if there is no response within the next 5 days.

 

Where is the vehicle now? And is it working?

Also, I think that you should send an SAR to whichever company told you that you had now lost your right or rejection.

 

Send the SAR this weekend. You will need to accompany it with some proof of identity such as a utility bill and maybe a copy of your finance agreement

I am expecting them to just ignore my letters, but yes at least I managed to get the emails off in the 30 days, I have you to thank you that.  The car is in the dealership workshop and cannot be driven as it's too dangerous, it will be staying in the workshop until the part becomes available, which could be at least 10 weeks, I will have paid 3 monthly instalments by then.

 

It was Santander that told me that my short term right to reject has been voided as the vehicle was taken back to the dealership.

Well the letter worked!

I received a call from the dealership yesterday afternoon, acknowledging my letter, they have offered me a new car, but it might not be available till august, they're looking into it.  

They have said that if I want this option, Santander would swap all the details over from the car now to the new car, when the new car arrives, but until then I would have to continue paying the finance on the cx5 that I still own, that is sitting in the workshop and un drivable (would you know if this is correct).  

I think they would continue supplying me with a hire car, but they are checking this, but it is not the same spec.

Also I will have to pay a fee to switch my car insurance over when the new car arrives, so have asked that they pay this.

 I haven't spoken to Santander as yet, just waiting for the dealership to come back to me with answers. 

I sent the Sar to Santander.

I wouldn't think so you are not going to pay 3 months or longer for something you cant use I would of thought that they could suspend the agreement or void it.

I would have thought that too but, Santander told me on the 19/5/23,  (this was when I was told that I had to let the dealership repair it and wait at least 10 weeks and it was before I sent the letter) that If it looked like the car was going to take a long time to be repaired and that I had a rental car they would look at reducing my payments by 20% and that if I didn't have a rental car, then I wouldn't have to pay anything.  

Also that they would look at some sort of compensation later on.  

This is the telephone recording that I have asked for in the SAR.

The rental car was supplied by Mazda Assist not Santander.

Will the warranty date be reset?

Assuming you even get the new car in August, you'll be a MINIMUM of 4 months between "taking delivery" of the car and actually getting it...

 

All sounds a bit messy to me.

 

I don't know what market prices of cars is like, but would it be worth considering a total reset, refund and start again?

You'd also need to look at the cost of a new pcp deal.

(Also, if you won't be actually buying the car at the end of the term, it may be a cheaper option to look at a personal contract deal.)

If you are relying on your short-term right to reject – rejection within 30 days – and a replacement is being supplied then your position should be as if the contract has been reset and you are beginning again from zero.

You should make this clear to them in writing that this is what you are expecting and that if they have any objections to this than they should express them now and in writing but that you will not accept any objections at all.

Santander are still saying that if I accept the option a replacement vehicle I will have to carry on paying the instalments at a reduced rate until the replacement car arrives, they've also still said the dealership don't have to accept the short-term right reject.  

I've had enough now and have decided to just reject the car and ask for my deposit back.

 How do I sort out cancelling the finance , is there a way of putting it in writing?

Section 99 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 sets out when you can voluntarily end an HP or PCP agreement. It covers both new and used cars. All car finance agreements have a 14-day cooling-off period. Your 14 days start on either the day that you sign your agreement or the day that you received a signed copy it, whichever happened later.
