    • 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 all,

 

Just thought I'd let everyone know that just a week after paying up to MCOL and starting the claim ball rolling Lloyds sent me a letter offering £750 as full and final settlement.

 

Obviously I'm not going to take it, I'm already drawing up a letter to decline it. The problem is that I recieved the letter this morning (2nd may) and it's dated 18th april, the letter says the money will be credited to my account within 10 working days and as of today (the 10th day by my reckoning) the money isn't in my account. Should I ammend my letter to make note of this?

 

Also the letter talks of complaining to the financial ombudsman and how a booklet is enclosed with an address and telephone number, but there's no such booklet, just the single page letter of settlement - their ineptitude astounds me. Well at least this letter was signed be a human and not a printer, can't have everything I suppose...

 

Everybody keep up the good work...

Thanks Barty I will do,

 

While I'm here I've another quick question. I'm just reviewing some paperwork and noticed that the "notice of issue" sent to me by MCOL shows that my claim was issued when I originally drafted the claim and not when I payed for it (which was last week) - is that normal???

 

As such the defendant (lloyds) had until today to reply and hasn't, just logged onto MCOL to find a "start judgement" button... Should I press it??? It's very tempting...

 

Thanks again,

Ok then, been doing a little more reading and it seems that the best option is not to opt for a default judgement but offer the bank a little more time. Also the letter I now send to give them a "nudge" and offer more time - I'm assuming that's to the registered address, the Gresham St one, is that right?

 

Also, as thing are moving along, does anyone know of a way to change the title of the thread so I can keep everything under one roof...

 

Cheers

Hi again - I'm back,

 

Just checked my account online and it seems the £750 is there, I was just wondering if, since I've already started a claim with MCOL, I need to send them anthing to let them know... I would expect I do but I've not seen any mention of it here...

Hi

You need to PM one of the Mods to change your title.

The Courts would have sent them the papers about the claim, you just need to send them the rejection letter.
