    • 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.

Accordingly, as the said order states “If the Defendant fails to lodge at court a document in accordance with paragraph 3’ the defence shall stand struck out and judgment be entered for the claimant for the amount claimed and costs comprising the issue fee and any allocation fee paid.” comprised of £833.76 i.e. £772 (initial claim) and £61.76 (interest under s.69 County Courts Act 1984).

 

Still no end to that sentence. :rolleyes:

Well i managed to catch the bus into town to hand the letter in and was told to complete my issue of notice as it seemed that was the end of it all. i really cant see SC&M coming back from this one.

 

(Another one of my claims from CapitalOne succeeded today as they paid out in full without issuing a defence)

 

In conclusion i must say i am somewhat under-awed by it all really. The time spent reading up on this, letters written, conversations had and endless arguments with Lloyds over the phone and in branch.

 

I believe that it doesn't stop here though, Clearly Guildford County Court have seized the initiative in the new directions issued to claimants claiming back their charges from Lloyds and other companies. Hopefully other County courts deluged with similar claims against time wasting banks abusing the judicial process will set directions similar to the ones here. Good luck to everyone else currently claiming against their banks, i look forward to my other four claims currently at Guildford County Court!

 

Thanks also go to Guidot and Bookworm for all their help. :-D

Good luck,

 

Capital One caved in without even Acknowledging my claim, i received full payment on the 16th, with £8 from the £20 charges received after just a few days of the prelim being sent. Like taking candy from a baby!

Hi all, just a quick question for those who have been down this route before.

 

Just been on the phone to **** to inform them that no pennies have appeared in my account since the court order ordering their defendants to cough up in 14 days. I got straight to a chap who took my details and informed me that they had not heard anything about the judgement, and they would call me back. However he said it would take 3 days to get my files! lol :lol:

 

i think he was completely bull-sh*tting me (i doubt he even bothered looking on his computer) such was the totally couldn't give a monkeys attitude.

 

My query is: What options are now available to me? I am at Guildford CC.

Just got off the blower to my local County Court (who are the most helpful bunch of people). they informed me that **** did receive the judgment and told me that i could apply for bailiffs. Hmmmmm.

As im not one to shy away from a bit of drama i would be most def' interested in sending in the bailiffs to my local bank.

 

Has anyone ever been down this route before?

Hi all, just a quick question for those who have been down this route before.

My query is: What options are now available to me? I am at Guildford CC.

Hi UK, I had the same but didn't bother talking to SC&M. I just waited. I received a copy of Judgement for Claiment (in default) from Guildford Court, which they sent to SC&M.

This basically said they must pay up immediately or face enforcement proceedings.

I found that my money had been deposited into my account that same day.

So I suggest that SC&M have been instructed to sit it out until the 11th hour. You will have your money very, very soon.

The time wasting tactics are phenominal. But they know that ultimately they will have to comply.

This firm of solicitors (and I use this term so lightly as I am too polite to say time wasting t****rs, bugger! I've said it!) should be looked at.

In fact, if the banks are being taken to task over excessive and unfair charges then the next lot should be law firms. They have been overcharging for centuries. How can it cost in excess of £100 to read or write a letter!

Anyway, I digress. You are on the home straight now UK. Good luck mate.

Bear with me.
