    • 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.

Hi,

 

Having been looking at this site for quite a while, i decided to fire off my letters to RBS. I start at the begining of April. I received the standard letter back etc, but sent them the seven day letter to threaten court action. This I did and started the claim on line. They acknowledged and stated they were defending the claim. Today, some 1 and half weeks from acknowledgement, i received at letter with a cheque for the full cost of my claim £726.00, as final settlement (without them admitting anything) and stating it was because it would not be cost effective to defend the claim.

 

Justed wanted to stay thank you to all on this site for all your help, and good luck to the rest of you.

 

And watch out Nat West i'm on my way to get you next!!!

have just sent off DPA with my name,account number and usual address and have had a reply from Hew Campbell ,quoting my account number and asking for full details of where account is held. I have a very distinctive name and find it strange that with the account number ,address and name they could not trace me. Are they playing around ?

Thanks for this, susang, I'm pursuing a similar amount and have just recieved the first rejection notice.

 

I do have my own thread on this but it's good to know that it is worth pursuing, I was a bit disheatened when I got the rejection letter.

I only mouth my opinion, please look elsewhere for sensible advice! :)
