    • 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,

 

I tried to link up all my threads so you could see how my journey started, but here it is so you all have an idea of what happened

 

I made a request for my statements in September 2006

 

I finally recieved my Statements in December 2006

 

I sent out my preliminary letter in December 2006 and followed the LBA procedure

 

I then made a claim on line at the end of february 2007

 

Abbey defend claim within 28 days

 

I was made an offer for £2,300 in March 2007 I did not reply

 

I was then sent an allocation questionaire in March 2007 which I completed

 

I recieved an allocation questionaire on behalf of Abbey in April 2007

 

I recieved an order from the district judge saying the case had been moved to the high court (fast track) in May 2007 (Two weeks before the Lyods bank ruling)At this point I started to get worried, because I knew it would take longer to get a court date

 

The Lloyds bank Birmingham ruling is made public (last week) My worry increases

 

Two days after (Last week Thursday) I recieve a cheque for the full amount plus interest acumulated.

 

I realise - the interest in the high court would be more for the bank (almost double), it would take longer to get a hearing date, costing the bank more in interest. The bank decides to settle to avoid extra cost.

 

It appears my district judge sent my case to the fast track although it had not yet reached the fast track bench mark of £5,000, howeevr it may have by the time I get a court date. The bank must have realised they would not have been able to win their case, so they settle.

 

So for all those who thinks the situation may get worser for us and better for banks - I honestly feel the situation is the reverse!!!

 

My cheque was dated on the day of the Lloyds bak ruling, so I do not know if it had an effect or not!!

 

Bu tI can confirm that I have been paid out since the ruling!!!:) :) :)

mackay, thats great you got your payout, My situation is that I sent off my letters requesting my money back, I never got any response, then I phoned Abbey who said they never received my letters ( I sent them recorded delivery) I then filed a claim at the small claims court on line, I received notification last week from the courts to say that Abbey have until the 30th May to respond. What is likely to happen next does anyone know?

Yes I do !!

 

Abbey have to file a defence

 

They will either defend or make you an offer. In may case they defended and made an offer...

 

Either way, they will have to pay out before the trial date!!!!

 

Follow the procedure, be patient and don't worry

 

Also post in this forum if you have any concerns!!!

CONGRATULATIONS:D :D :D

I had an offer the same evening as the Lloyd's "win".

 

That ruling was a one off which will probably be overturned on appeal. It really hasn't hurt us.

 

 

Good Luck everyone:) :)
