    • As above so it is essential you don't appeal and accidentally reveal who was driving. Stay quiet to Met and their pet DCA unless you get a letter before claim.
    • Hello, welcome to CAG. Thank you for the information. To answer your question, we don't recommend appealing at all. It will be a waste of your time and you could end up outing the driver. Ask any questions that you have but basically you keep an eye on this, keep the correspondence and if MET ever they send a Letter Before Claim/Action. If you get to that stage, we'll suggest being proactive. Best, HB EDIT: Could we see the other side of the PCN please? Sometimes there is information that they've left off.

    • 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.

received a response from phil beaumont today saying he was investigating. whoops, too late phil! you just reminded me to submit my claim - which i did today :)

 

LOL! That made me chuckle! Good luck circuit. I hope it goes well.

 

You mentioned earlier in the thread about getting into the overdraft cycle. I know that only too well. I only ever seem to go overdrawn by a similar amount to what they charged me in the previous month! If only the sods would let me off with a month or two then I could get back on track. Still, I'll hopefully get it all back when I eventually claim.

 

Once again, good luck.

thanks for the kind words.

 

my claim has now been in since wednesday and i got postal confirmation today. i have gone from dreading court action to feeling quite intrigued as to how the system works. and the idea of getting nearly £400 is spurring me on as are the success stories from other people posting here. time to write to mint to get my statements... here's hoping HSBC settle soon.

 

incidentally, the co-op were useless trying to open me a cashminder account. tardy postal correspondence, useless branch staff. in the end i decided not to bother. natwest were also useless. i applied for an alliance and leicester premier account online and have now got the vanilla (basic) current account instead, but it'll do. no fuss at all. thanks all.

Hi

Just been reading your 'goings on' with much interest. All I wondered was, did they actually pay up? Don't want to know the details, just a 'yes' would be confirmation that all your hard work paid off.

Am just going to post a DPA to the imaginary 'Mr Bowden'. He's the one who signs my letters too!

So here's hoping my hard work will pay off too.

Good work!

fair comment. would you really care if they knew anyway?

Surely the banks are more interested in totting up how much they've made from people in unfair charges!

I think circuit is taking the right line. As he's apparently signed a confidentiality agreement he must be honourable and keep the confidence. It could backfire badly on him if he broke the agreement, as they could find out who circuit really is and then he could be in trouble and so could this group, if only by association. I know it seems frustrating, but surely we must keep things within the law ourselves.

 

This is of course only my opinion and not that of the group.

 

Neil.

circuit's a she ;)

 

incidentally, today i got a letter (not bound by any confidentiality agreement) offering £250, which is just over half the amount i claimed for in court. bear in mind, i received this AFTER the solicitors got in touch.

 

so, my advice to anyone getting a part-settlement letter - hold out a bit longer because you never know - another letter may already be in the post.

Not 100% but if circuit has signed a confideniallty agreement, then she must of been happy with the outcome. Just a hunch ;-)
