    • 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.

Hey just an update as my 40 days and nights have now passed without any word or documents from A&L. I called their customer services and explained why I was calling and asked why no statements where sent out. The lady said that they have a pack to fill in to deal with these bank charge requests and that she could send one out. I asked her why they cashed the cheque if there were not dealing with my request in which she transferred me to another department (the 3rd time transferred) where I was put on hold and eventually hung up as I was waiting 6 minutes.

I have sent a LBA recorded delivery stating that they have 14 days to deliver my data before I take court proceedings, so another waiting period for me.

I dont think there is a pack to fill in - they sent me just a piece of paper which just says about the same as SAR

 

they sent mine within the 40 days of second request.(forgot to send first one recorded)

Back again, sent off my LBA to ask for my statements as hadn't recieved them. Its almost 3 weeks now and still no sign off them. Should I apply to court now or should I give them a ring.

When I first sent in my SAR's I enclosed a chq for each account, the bank debited the money from my accounts under the heading DATA PROTECTION, but also cashed the chq's a few days short of the 40 day deadline. Was wondering if anyone else has had the same issue.

Example Step-By-Step Instructions

 

 

there is a section in here I think which gives you a standard letter to send if you dont get statements. then worth a few calls as to take to FOS may take some time.

Have it all done now and going through the step by step guide. Have 900.00 odd to claim. I see that I dont add the interest at this stage, I had sent a letter of for my brother and added his interest, will his claim be disregarded now because of my error.
