    • Hello, firstly thank you for reading this. I know no one wants a long winded back story. So I’ll be breif. I entered a local store to buy some paint (which I did pay for) I am honestly not a bad person or a theif.   Didn’t have a basket or trolly as was on my lunch break. Whilst picking up the three tubs of paint placed some masking tape in my pocket (it was hanging out of so I had every intention to pay) just didn’t have a hand free. Paid for my goods (forgot about the £4.39 masking tape) I’ve got so much going on and im not well at all (like I say no one cares I get that) also have autism so wasn’t thinking particularly like others do maybe (who knows my minds going around and around) I left the store after paying, was pulled back in by security. Asked for the tape which I gave immediately  shook up. Gave them my ID and details. I was given some paper and told to expect a large fine in the post for their time and the tape and sent on my way. my questions are: I hardly ever go out without support so the ban I guess I can’t go there now for anything (their loss) - ok but is my photo going to be all over with my name? how much am I expecting in the post as a fine? I have sent them cash in the post recorded signed for delivery to arrive tomorrow (incident happened today) for my error. Their Address was on the bit of paper. i have read two posts on this page but they were from many many years ago so I hoped for updated advise please? 
    • V important you read lots of BMW threads too !  
    • So should I send them a new SAR and put my date of birth on it? Or do I need to send them some proof? Driving license? 
    • Thanks so much for your help!! I've emailed them, and when they reply saying they can't do it I'll reply and state my rights. I'm so glad I found this forum, and will read all of the posts I can find and help guides available for the future. Really can't thank you enough.
    • utter BS, doesn't matter you signed it. pers i'd be writing as per the other threads here rejecting the car as not as described under CRA etc and be done with it. as its a debit card you could also do a full chargeback within 120 days to your bank and simply dump the car back to BMW. 100's of like threads to read here. get your ducks inline. make sure you know what you are doing and off you go. dont take any BS from BMW, no matter what you sign it does NOT remove your consumer rights. p'haps it might be on the off chance you are a good manager , a quick phonecall tomorrow saying you dont want it because (no bla bla fitted) it might be resolved in 5 mins..i will guess to date you not tried

    • 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.

nabby68, got your PM.

They go onto say that they have not recieved any details of how the ammount of the claim was calculated and also how the interest that i am claiming was arrived at.
That's just them being petty because, presumably, you used MCOL which doesn't allow attachments. Just send them another copy which matches the figures in your MCOL claim.

And, they also request an e-mail adress and telephone number to contact me on, Should i provide these?
Up to you - it really depends how confident you feel about negotiating with them by those methods. The cynic in me says that not giving them E-mail/phone will stop them leaving settlement until the day before your eventual Court date because they'll have to use the post !! But FWIW, I gave them those details.

so, once they have defended do the courts send an AQ out to you?

and what does the AQ entail?

The Courts will send you it, but you'll find the AQ on here Her Majesty's Courts Service - Home (forms N149/150 depending on the size of your claim) and guide to filling it in here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/11644-allocation-questionnaires-guide-completion.html and New Strategy here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general/53570-new-strategy-allocation-questionaires.html

Suggest have a go at filling it in but wait for the Court to send you the official stamped up one for your claim.

Also, have you compiled a court bundle? All sounds very daunting to me!

Hi nabby,

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/25716-rejecting-offers.html

 

I'm sure you can find one in here that you like the look of.

 

As I undestand it you claim the 100 quid back from Abbey in the same way you claim the MCOL payment back..........ie when they finally cough up!:)

I had a read up about "without prejudice" and it is put on letters in which you try and negotiate an out of court settlement, so I suppose if their 50% letter has WP then yours should as well.

 

But others on here are much better qualified to give a definitive answer

hi everyone,

just a quick query. i submitted my AQ to the courts with draft directions offered in the post by BankFodder (New Strategy For AQ's) In the draft directions it states that " The Claimant shall within 14 days of service of this order send to the Defendant and to the Court..........." I sent my AQ off to both the Courts and Abeey on 18th March, and have not heard from the Courts. I did fone the Courts to make sure they had recieved my AQ, and they have. So, my question is , given that 14 Days will have expired on 2nd April, and if i have still not hear anything by then, would i have to provide the info listed in the Draft Order for Directions attached to my AQ?

Or, do i wait to hear from the judge?

Wait for the directions from the Judge, because, like SusanB's thread, there's other things the Judge can order. I'd make sure I was up to speed with your reading on court bundles and stays etc.

UPDATE:

i sent off my AQ to the courts and abbey on 18th march with draft directions for the judge to consider. I still havnt heard anything from the courts and i am now getting a bit worried. I know the courts have definitley recieved my AQ because i called a few days after i sent it to make sure. Do i have anything to worry about considering i havnt hears anything for almost a month?

Give the court a ring and ask them the situation, they will advise you on a likely court date.

UPDATE:

Today, i have recieved a court date for 20th July. In the letter from the courts it states "The Claimant shall file and serve copies of his documents by 8th May 2007 to include a schedule setting out each charge or which repayment is sought"

My question is, what exactly do i need to send and to whom do i send it to? By this, i mean, do i send it to the courts or to Abbey?
