    • 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 also received a letter on friday the 12-1-07 saying they will credit my account £750 in the next few days. This is a good will act my behalf of the bank and does not affect your right to claim full money back from them. If they are not in the wrong why offer this money.

 

I am filing court papers this wednesdy 17-1-07.

 

Can anyone give me advise of what to do now ?

 

How has had joy with Lloyds TSB.

I would guess it is partly because you then lose the right top claim statutory interest on that £750, but mostly in the hope that you will be satisfied that you have some money and just drop the action.

 

My advice would be to absolutely and completely refuse any offer from lloyds unless it is the FULL amount owed, including any interest.

I am still charging Lloyds the statuary interest which makes my claim nearly 5K. When this goes to court, and my charges are given back, they will take into consideration the £750 they have already given me. And deduct it of the final figure. I will also put court charges on top of that.

You cannot claim statutory interest on the £750 unless your claim has already been filed. If they repay it before you file your claim you cannot charge them statutory interest on it.

Hi Everyone - I'm in the same situation. Lloyds have also offered me the £750 repayment which I have thanked them for while continuing my claim. I'm very confused about how this now affects my schedule of charges and the interest.

I have had a response to my own thread confirming that we cannot claim interest on the £750 and need to remove the charges and interest from the schedule. I saw somewhere else the following guidance 'divide 750 by the number of charges and take that off each charge e.g. 750/30 = £25. £25 to be taken off each charge.

 

How should this be done in practice? Should it be evident on the schedule that there has been a £750 repayment? Has anyone done this?

Regards, Seesaw :)

no you don't lose the interest on the £750! who said so? You include interest on the whole amount despite them reimbursing the £750 charges.

 

I think you'll find that s69 statutory interest is only applicable once the claim is filed. You are not claiming for the £750, therefore you cannot charge interest on it. You charge 8% statutory interest on the amount you are claiming for only.

 

Contractual interest is a different matter of course.

Yes the most accurate way thatyou could reasonably be expected to use would be to divide the repayment by the number of charges and subtract the result from each charge as you say. I would include the original schedule (before any changes), then also include an updated schedule showing each charge has been reduced, and of course use the figures from the updated schedule on all paperwork.

Can anyone help me. If I touch the £750 that Lloyds sent me does it affect my claim in the small claims court.

 

Also when I claim for £4595 in the court do I add the interest on at 8% then take of the £750 that has already been paid.

 

How do you figure out the interest rate. I read that you add on interest from the first time the bank took money out of your account.

 

Please help completly confused.

I have also been offered £750, this was put into our bank last week, I filed in court for the full amount over £11000, the next day, not yet realising - (although my husband knew) the £750 was in the account, and the money was actually available.

I am now a bit worried that this will complicate matters for me at the court. Do I make an ammendment at the court now that I know? or just wait and see what LTSB do next?

I was advised to take the £750 from the most recent charges so that it does not affect the interest that I am claiming too much.

meaning I think that I would not be able to claim interest on the £750 charges that they refunded as this was before the court papers were filed.

Does this make sense?

If I have been of any help to you please be kind enough to click on my scales! Thank you

 

:D Halifax Bank...December 2006 ..... WON! 1 week after N1 filed.
