    • Hello, welcome to CAG. Thank you for the information, we can start looking at your case now. If you were thinking of doing it, please don't appeal, it causes more problems than it solves because Met and other PPCs almost never allow appeals. DR+ can't do anything to you because they're debt collectors, just part of the letter trail. If it ever went to court it would be Met doing it, or their lawyers. If you have a look around the forum, you'll see we have dozens of threads about the Stansted car park. Read some threads and you'll see how these outfits work. Best, HB

    • 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 am putting together the court bundle but don't have a copy of the banks terms and conditions. Does anyone know where I can get them?

 

A reply would be really much appreciated as when I have asked questions in the past no one seems to answer. I am getting totally scared now.

 

I'm getting married on Saturday and am stressed to death with that as well as this!

My other half is due in court in 10 days time. I sumbitted his court bundle and sent a copy to Abbey. I rang the court and Abbey have not submitted anything. Is this usual?

 

Also if they ring to offer do we accept only the bank chargaes or the charges plus contractual interest AND the daily rate of interest that would be set by the court and court fees?

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

hi - i am due in court on 10th august - against abbey - i rang and abbey havent submitted anything.. this, i hear, is quite the norm.

if they ring with an offer.. which in light of the current situation with the test case, is possibly unlikely.. just be prepared! if you need the money now and cant wait.. then i would take it.. but its all down to personal circumstances.

In court tomorrow at 10am. Getting quite scared now. What if they show up? The luck I have that will probably happen.

 

Do I have to say anything in court? If they turn up do I just go through my defence and court bundle with the judge and argue my point with them?

oh blimey - i feel for you.. completely.. im in court the day after.. and its all getting a bit close and a bit real.. the realisation that the postie is going to bring anything promising is becoming ever slim.

i have just had a read through this.. which may help

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/guidance-notes/64911-got-court-date-guide.html

 

i doubt very much the bank will turn up.. but i think someone more qualified should tell you what to do, should they turn up!! i will probably just start flapping and stuttering.. so thats probably not much use to you!

 

please please let us know how you get on.. and if there are any developments in the mean time.. have you rung the court to see if everything is going ahead as per?

 

fingers crossed for you!

Oh My God, just rang my local court (Newcastle upon Tyne) and gave them the claim number, the guy said that Abbey have applied for a stay pending the OFT Test Case result. The Judge has informed Abbey that they must apply on an individual basis rather than use a blanket stay for all claims. They must attend court tomorrow to apply for the stay.

 

He said the hearing is still on for tomorrow.

 

I asked if any of the banks had shown up in the past and he said that in the past they always settled before they got to court but now they don't in light of the OFT Test case. He said no banks have as yet shown up. (They will tomorrow I can guarantee that!)

 

I'm really panicking now.

Well I was right.

 

Abbey sent a barrister to apply for a stay. The deputy district judge said that he had just received dircetions this morning from the high up Judge in Newcastle upon Tyne informing them that all cases must be stayed until a decision has been reached in the OFT High Court case or 1 October 2008 whichever is the sooner. Then claimants have until 28 days from that date to resubmit the claim or it will be struck out.

 

The Barrister seems to think that it will go before the High Court in January.

 

This hearing was for my husbands claim, mine is due on 28 September. The barrister was really nice, turns out I work for the same firm as his girlfriend! He said that I should write to the court asking what action I should now take i.e Do I still have to turn up on 28 Septembet, given what has been said this morning.

Just got back from court this morning for my bank charges claim. Abbey again sent a barrister to apply for a stay.

 

The judge was lovely. She told the barrister that she couldn't find any papers in regards to the application for the stay and he said that he was here now to make the application. She told him that it wasn't good enough and he explained that because of the volume of these cases banks left it till the last minute.

 

She said that in that case she was awarding me costs for my time and gave me the maximum £50!

 

She stayed the case though pending the outcome of the test case as she said it wouldn't be fair to rule now. I thought she was going to at first!

Well Abbey's 21 days were up last Friday to pay me my loss of earnings of £50 and yes you've guessed it nothing has appeared. I have just rang the court and they have told me to apply for a warrant of execution in order to send the bailiffs round! It will cost me £35 but I think it will be worth it!!!!!

 

Has anyone else had to do this and if so what happened?

 

Cheers

oh yes, baliffs have been called in before, they pay up - eventually, plus they have to pay the baliffs fees, might be worth emailing Inga and Ronan together informing them that if they dont contact you by tomorrow regarding payment then you will have no option to call the baliffs as the court has advised at which time they will be liable for the further costs.

 

I bet they ignore you though, they like brinksmanship, no matter how much it costs them

HELP!!!!!

 

Do I have to do something before Wednesday next week when the DJ ordered that my case must be stayed until the outcome of the Test Case or 1 October whichever is the sooner?

 

I have just been letting it carry along until the outcome but have just realised that I may have until next week to resubmit everything.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Just to let you know....

 

I have just rang the courts and the guy in the office has said that he has spoken to his line manager and they will have to speak to a judge on Wednesday next week (1 Oct) to see what is happening with the stays and to get some direction and that I have to ring back then!
