    • 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.

It seems in each case, the bank use the 30 day settlement option to delay things, would it be worthwhile using this list to request the judge not to allow the 30 days?

Read, Read and Read some more.

 

The answers are all out there...

 

By the way, it's your claim. I only offer an opinion as another reader. :confused:

You mean when the judge orders a stay pending settlement?

The spreadsheet's designed to go along with the application to remove a stay, as detailed in this post:

(thinking on, I'll add a link into the first post here....:) )

 

Thanks for the kind comments btw folks, didn't want you thinking I was being ignorant :D

Mcuth, just a thought but it would be really helpful to myself to add an extra column to say what type of interest th case has been settled with.

 

ie Statuary, Authorised O/Draft Contractual, UnAuthorised Contractual.

 

Just a thought what do you think ?

I'm afraid that'd be impossible to state unless people started reporting it in their litigation posts, sorry. Besides, previous claims being settled outside court with Contractual Interest (authorised or unauthorised) wouldn't have any impact on future claims being settled on the same basis.

I was thinking along the same lines, if people start stating if they won with Contractual Interest, it may help others that are going for contractual interest.

Could this not be used to sway the judge to strike out the defence, as, all the cases have had a defence submitted but all settled before a hearing.

 

I was thinking along ther lines of the Lincoln judge where he said they were abusing the court system

 

Absolutely you can use this list of claims for something like that - abuse of process, where it's clear that the banks are using the court system as a "delaying tactic", etc... and showing that they've settled X cases without intending to step into a courtroom to defend them :)

 

I was thinking along the same lines, if people start stating if they won with Contractual Interest, it may help others that are going for contractual interest.

 

The only way I could see it helping is from a morale point of view to other CAG members.

As far as the courts are concerned, when a case is settled out of court, it's just that - a settled case - and the court isn't concerned about the arguments used within the case. Now, if there was a case actually heard and won, then there would be a reason to bring the detail of that case before the court.

 

Cheers

Perhaps i am being thick but i can't open the files. I take it that xls is an excel document(i don't have excel) but lit.settled is a word document but it opens with a load of strange characters and no word format.

Yes, the xls file is an Excel document - if you don't have Excel (or a version of OpenOffice that can read Excel2002 files), then you won't be able to view it unless you have Microsoft's Excel Viewer installed.

 

As for the .doc file, it is not an actual Word document - it's just the Excel file renamed. As I wrote in the first post:

 

"lit settled.doc - the spreadsheet renamed - if you haven't got any "zip" software, just save this to disk and rename it to lit settled.xls

 

The forum software doesn't allow me to upload an Excel file (or at least, a filename with a .xls extension), so I simply changed the extension to .doc so it could be uploaded. This way, those that might not have any unzipping software to extract the spreadsheet from the zip file, can just save the file to disk and rename it. I'll make this a little clearer in the first post of this thread.

 

HTH

This is an Excel spreadsheet of all settled charge-related claims as posted in the Litigation Concluded forum, with the exception of posts that didn't have a case number. It contains an "autofilter" which can be used to show cases for one particular Defendant. One suggested use for the spreadsheet is to accompany an application to have a stay removed (as detailed here).

 

If you don't have Excel (or a version of OpenOffice that can read Excel2002 files), then you won't be able to view it unless you have Microsoft's Excel Viewer installed.

 

There is 1 attachment to this post - lit settled.xls

 

Updated 18th April - spreadsheet now available in Excel format - number of claims is now 591 - total value in excess of £1m!

 

Cheers

 

Michael

 

 

Just a point about the settled claims - would it be to our advantange to put in some other dates eg date settlement offered, date paid etc

 

might be able to work a pattern and the judges would clearly see that even if they enter a defense there is a timescale /

If I have managed to help you in anyway then please click my scales

Hmm, not sure about just how helpful that would be since the courts only have to look up the case number on their computer, and we're simply providing an indication of how many cases that the bank has settled.

 

Remember that the spreadsheet is simply data taken from the Litigation Concluded forum, and it's hard enough getting people to a) report the date that the case was issued, and b) PM a mod with their case details for inclusion in the first place! (I believe that the number of cases from the Litigation Concluded forum is only a fraction of the total number that actually get issued) :)

Would it be possible to use this spreadsheet to apply for costs as the bank are behaving "unreasonably" by forcing the litigant to waste a lot of time and outlay more of their hard earned cash to persue the return of the litigants own money unlawfully taken in the first instance???? Possibly show the court that the banks are meerly abusing the court service in order ro "scare" people off claiming. I'm sure, as you's are also aware, there will be many who only have a few charges and simply don't justify the time and expense to recover them, considering the fact that applying for costs is generally speaking a no-no.

Indeed, you could use it in support of a request for costs - you're probably better off looking at this thread though, I know it's Lloyds, but it's a claim for costs based on the bank's unreasonable behaviour :)

Hi

 

Sorry for not updating you earlier.

The date range of the spreadsheet covered all the posts in the "litigation concluded" forum (as was) from the start of that forum. However, that forum has now been superceded by this page, where you can get all the details of concluded cases.

 

I'll update the first post on this thread with a link to the new page, and then close the thread, as the spreadsheet is now redundant.

 

Cheers
