    • 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 stage 4 of the process, the bank has written back to say there charges are fair! i wrote back and advised them of court action, however im tempted to go to the Finanacial Ombudsman first before court as the amount of my claim is over the £5k (Small Claims court).

 

Any ideas?? have Lloyds actually been to court yet?:-|

im not aware of Lloyds actually carrying out there threat of defending a claim as of yet.

 

re the claim being over 5k, is that just for the charges or does that include the interest? I have also seen others advised to break the claim down into 2 claims to keep them below the £5k

Just file it, whether it is above £5k or not - you risk getting your second claim thrown out if you split it.

 

Lloyds are very, very unlikely to go to court with it....they haven't done so yet.

Please note that I am not a legal expert and all advice given is without prejudice and is purely my opinion only.

My charges Do Not include interest. I would be interested to hear from people that have had to split charges in order to keep the claim in the Small Claims Court

thanks Dolly i think i will do. I have in the meantime contacted the Financial Ombudsman so not sure if i should wait for their response or go ahead anyway and file the cliam.
