    • Hello, After seeing all of the posts about BMW on here I really wish I hadn't even considered them! I bought a used car from them over the weekend, one specifically which had a reversing camera and cruise control in the advert. I was foolish at the time of purchase and didn't check to see these functions work on the test drive (totally my fault). Now that the car is home I've checked and checked and neither of these functions are available. I even checked on Parkers and it seems that no Skoda Kamiq '21 models come with any parking cameras at all. When buying the car, I was told all that was needed was 'Four signatures and £500' to secure it. I was never shown any of the documents, and instead the sales rep opened a box on his iPad and asked me to sign. He had been complaining about the length of time some customers take these days all throughout my time with him. (Again) foolishly I signed. In my email inbox I now have four attachments from BMW, one of which is my signature under a letter which says that the cars don't need to match the advertisements online, or have any of the features that a sales rep talks about. I realise that I've made mistakes in not doing my due diligence here, but thought I might as well ask the experts here if I have any rights left to claim that the car was miss-advertised, or if I unknowingly signed them away? Thanks in advance

    • 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.

Well folks, Received the Acknowledgment of Service this morning and guess what they are to defend the claim in full. The date of the service was the 19th April - So it has taken well over a week to get to us. Could someone please let me know what I have to do next - is this the scary bit. Do I do nothing until the full 28 days are up!!!!

Is there anyone out there;)

Its gone all very quiet and I could really do with some added support. as my earlier post has stated Barclays are to defend in full - I really need to know what I do next do I just sit and wait for the courts to contact me re the defence or do they contact me to pay the £100.00 for the QA. Does anyone know how long it will be before I see any monies.

URGENT

Oh mu giddy aunt

 

Just ready another thread about time - I thought that Barclays had 28 day from when I received their Aknowledement of Service which was on the 19th April - however I have read that it is 33 day in total:

 

5 days to be served

14 days to aknowledge

14 days to put in their defence.

 

As barclays have stated they are to defend my claim in full does the above still apply. If so Barclays have until this Friday. Oh my God. What do I do know, what do I do on Friday. I am due to go and work in London for another 2 weeks as from Monday. I really need some spot on advice. HEEELLPP.

Hello warrentuff,

 

The best thing you can do if in any doubt is to ring the court who are dealing with your claim and ask them questions regarding the stages that you are at.

 

They should be able to guide you to what needs to be done next.

 

Personally thats what I would do, but it's up to you.

 

Keep on posting on this forum too, and others I'm sure will offer any help they can.

 

Best of luck

Hi there!

 

Ok...to try and give clarity...

 

You cannot do anything till the 28 days are up.

 

I appreciate that is scary and you are thinking - NOOO.

 

But all this, and please be re assured is just the process of it all.

 

Your local court will be in touch after the 28 days and send you a copy of their defence and often an allocation questionaire.

 

This is a set of either questions they are asking you on what you are seeking and to allocate time as an estimate.

 

To read up about them and how to fill it out should it arrive click here

Allocation Questionnaires - A guide to completion

 

Some courts know of the banks and issues and have dispensed with them, so if they have, don't panic, here is another link!

 

Is your court dispensing with the Allocation Questionnaire?

For the amount of money you have claimed, as Advoc clearly stated, the judge will decide the best track!

Hope this makes a little clearer.

Thanks everyone for all your excellent advice. Once I have received the QA and sent back my fee, how long do you reckon untill settlement, do you think that Barclays will wait until a court date, as that could take months !!!. Were hoping to go on holiday for the 1st time in 11 years in July - So do you think it could all be over end of May beginning of June????

Hi All

 

Received the copy of the defence together with the QA. The defence looks like a standard wording and is a copy, or do the Courts hold on to the original. Has everyone been sent this, mine starts with

 

"1. The particulars of claim provide no recognisable cause of action....."

"6. The Defendent's standard terms and conditions.............."

And the last paragraph:

"13. The defendant denise that it is liable to the claiment.............."

 

It is signed by Adrian St John.

 

Also another question, once I have filled in the QA, do I give it in to the court together with the court bundle and then send a copy to Barclays. also does anyone know how long it will take now before Barclays pay out!!!

Many thanks

Enter the number of witnesses you intend to call to give evidence not including yourself or any expert witness

Still require some direct on my questions re the AQ, - Could someone please help. I also tried and phoned Barclays today just to see what they would say. I phoned the free number and spoke with the bog standard "hello welcomed to Barclays" All they had on record was the letter I recieved back in Feb re the £1000 as Full and final settlement offer. I was told that Until I have a court date I am unable to speak to the litigation dept. It was worth a try.

Also I phoned my local court, and was told that as I have until the 30th May to submit my AQ I should get a hearing date of around the end of June. Would you say that this is correct??. They also said that the bank has a AQ as well totally confused. Do you submit the court bundle when you return the AQ. Please help i'm getting pretty desparate now.

Hello warrentuff

 

Do you have a copy of the book by Patricia Pearl? - Small Claims Procedure: A Practical Guide.

 

If you do then there is a section in there about the AQ stage of a claim.

 

I wish I could be of more help to you but I haven't reached that stage myself yet.

 

Have a look through the links below. I'm sure what you need to know will be here somewhere

Dear all

Phoned court today for answers to my queries, were most helpful, however due to my size of claim, it will have to be fast tracked, one thing I am still not 100% with is other information, I copies the bit re why I think it should be kept on a small track, but the court stated I should put something in which would help the Judge in my case, any suggestions!!!

Also I may be jumping the gun a bit but I thought I would give Barclays Lt dept a ring I used the number quoted on other threads. To my great surprise I was rung back!!! I spoke with a gentleman well Boy actually who stated that as soon as I have my court date they would contact me "YEAH RIGHT" and that a settlement offere would normally go out 3 weeks before the court date. "I wont be waiting that long I can esure you". He also mentioned that they are currently expanding the dept and that pay out may be sooner!!!

I know that this may be old hat, but at least I can state that I have it verbally that another offer will be forthcoming and that hopefully it will be greater than the pitiful £1K they offered back in Feb. any thought out there.

Hello again warrentuff

 

I'm just a little way behind you with my main claim so I will probably be asking similar questions when I get to this point too. You'll more than likely have some good advice once you've won your case.

 

By the way, what was the number you rang for Barclays?

 

Good luck

Thanks for your support - I have 4 numbers for Barclays No. 1 seems to be the most popular according to other threads:

(1) Kysta Campbell - 02071164753

(2) A Lombardi - 02071165634

(3) Charlie Spalding - 02071161944

(4) Katherine Ashton - 02071164664

 

You probably will get an answer phone so just leave a message, all I quoted was my name, claim number and telephone numbers at work and at home.

I rally could do with the help on the AQ - has anyone in your thread filled one in that I could ask - really really desparate.

 

Warrentuff - even though it sounds manly i'm actually a she, I wish I had chosen a more girlie name now.

Filed my AQ today, together with the £100 - Even though I have not been given a court date yet they stated anything within 4 - 6 weeks, I am going to phone Krysta @ Barclays tomorrow to see if they will settle out of court. Wish me luck!!

Well

I finally spoke with Krysta @ Barclays only to be told that someone else is dealing with my claim, I asked to be transferred, I then spoke with a Paul Quinn (direct tel:02071165634) who basically stated that they were hoping to settle around 3 weeks before court date. I stressed that I was informed by my court that I would hopefully be given a date at the end of June. He stated that he can not do anything as he has none of my datails as they have not been sent over my the accounts dept.

 

I stated that I would phone next week for an update, Paul stated that he could not treat my claim any differently than anyone else, and that I would have to go to the bottom of the pile and await my turn. (I was not asking for any special treatment) I was merely asking for what is due to me. He did get abit stroppy with me, he is probably fed up to the back teeth of all this. but I am quite sure that if he was in my shoes right now and had to endure the consequencies of these charges over the past 6 years, he would be as keen. .

 

Will keep you all posted.:p

PANIC,PANIC,PANIC:confused:

 

Phoned courts today as it was the deadline for the AQ - was told that as Barclays had already sent in their AQ the Judge saw it last week. The woman I spoke with read through the file and told me that the Judge had asked for particualrs of claim to be sent within 21 day?????? At this point I felt really sick and wanted to pass out at my desk, she stated that she could not tell me anthing else. Ended Call - thought about it a bit more rang back.

Spoke with a lovely person called Lisa who confirmed that the judge has ordered particulars of claim, but stated that she thought the judge was incorrect and had ticked the wrong box, as the particular of claim had already been attached to the original claim form back in April, and that although she was not legally trained it would seem that the judge was wrong, she advised that she would walk the file back up to the judge to be looked at again??? Nothing and I mean nothing goes right for me. Has anyone else had this happen to them. Another sleepless night to endure. Or does anyone who is leagally minded know what the judge is aiming at or trying to acheive?????

Help a very desparate Warrentuff
