    • 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.

Hi everyone. :)

I've been a lurker for a while and have decided its time to start my own thread.

I send my SAR recorded delivery on the 21st March. Royalmail.com confirmed delivery on 22nd and I recieved the standard reply on the 23rd so I guess they at least can't deny receiving it!

By my reckoning the 40+2 days is up on the 3rd May. Is it worth a phone call in a week or so reminding them of the deadline for providing my my list of charges?

Hi reubenpal

 

It's not worth a phone call - unless you are feeling at a loose end with nothing better to do than run up your phone bill :D

 

Sadly, reading the boards will show you that a lot of the responses you get from staff manning the phones are just regurgitated blurb that they are giving to everyone. So far, they seem to be getting most of the lists out inside of the 42 days, often a few days short of the deadline. A phone call won't make any difference really as it seems they are just working through mass SAR requests and getting them out (as someone said on another thread) in a conveyor belt fashion.

3 Active Claims:

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Sole account) - Applied to lift court ordered Stay

Thanks for the reply welshcakes. I suspected as much, but you may be right about me being restless about getting moving with the whole thing.;)

I thought perhaps that being as they are snowed under with SAR's, a verbal reminder that I haven't gone away might prompt them to pull their finger out with my request. :D

 

Ah well, I suppose I'll just have to sit tight and hope they arrive before times up.

Wouldn't you believe it the post has just arrived and there they were on the doormat.

£5,215 :mad:

 

However, the letter states that it is a list of charges over the last 6 years but the first charge listed is dated 01/05/02.

TBH I have trouble remembering if I just didn't incurre any charges in the preceding year or is this a tatic used before by them?

Well I claimed £4985 and the Woolwich offered £4000 which I accepted. I still have around £400 of charges outstanding after the date of my ones claimed. Can I now ask for these or have I forfeited the right to by accepting their offer for the previous lot?

Advice very much appreciated.

Hi reubenpal

 

Readng thru similar questions already posted on site, many have made fresh applications to cover the charges that have been imposed since original claim.

 

All you did was come to out of court settlement in respect of known charges for a specific period and unless you signed something stating you would not make any future claims in respect of the account, you have not burnt your bridges.
