    • 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 like you, had all my statements, thus dispensing with the need for the SAR letter.

 

If you have not considered it before, you should consider the type of interest you wish to add, i.e. statutory or contractual. If you add contractual you need to include it in the calculations in your preliminary letter, but if statutory you need not be concerned until you file your claim (N1 stage).

 

Have a look at my thread or read the link below to find out more. On my claim it made a £1K difference.

Stay with it, it will be worth it in the end.

Hi Speedo101, we are still here, I did look at your thread this morning to help, but the link I was going to direct you to broken. I reported so it should be up and running soon and I will direct you to it, if it answers your question.

 

I think you may experience a little slowness with help as most people are not claiming as a business.

I have looked and I do not see a preliminary business letter in the library. The normal consumer one would need amending as it is not correct, inter alia, it refers to consumer regulations - therefore do not use it.

 

There is a business LBA that I am sure you have found, but anyway:

My dead link that I think should help is here, try it tomorrow:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/faqs-please-read-these/25457-user-guide-contacts-list.html?highlight=business#post198570

 

If you get nowhere I would go straight to LBA.

 

Read steps 5 and 6 here, note the absence of a reference to the business version of the preliminary letter but not the LBA. I presume this is deliberate:

I am doing my best here, but I am not familar with claiming as a business, although I will be joining you soon as I have one to do, against Natwest though.

You can wait for the letter if you like, sometimes you do not get one though. I do not think it is that important.

 

This is normal, for some reason it seems to be £750, irrespective of your claim value. Enjoy spending the money and donate a little to this site.

 

Just claim the remaining balance.

You should really inform the court, but I have not. I would not bother for now, I have seen examples where the sum has been paid again by mistake when the entire claim has been settled.

Yes take the £750 off the most recent charges so that it minimises the reduction on your interest sum. Yes your daily sum will change too.

Hi there

I tried using the new strategy for AQ in my case against Lloyds and I have just received back my notice of allocation. The hearing has been set for the 10th May and at the bottom of the sheet it says

 

Parties to file and serve documents 14 days before the hearing

 

The original documents shall be brought to the hearing

 

Defendant do by 4.00pm 10 April 2007 file and serve:

 

1.an itemised statement showing how each and every item charged is calculated

2.a copy of the contract with the customer

3. skeleton legal arguments if points of law are to be argued relating to punitive and/or unfair contract terms.

 

Does this mean if they do not file these papers that i could ask the judge to strike out their defence?

 

Thanks Speedo

 

 

Yes ask for it to be struck out, I presume SCM have not filed anything.
