    • 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, Im new to all this so bear with me.

I have got my statments from the Woolwich and added up my charges and on the 18th May sent them the first letter.

I do know the process as have just won against Lloyds, but am a bit anxious with this claim that has just been lost in court?

 

Also my friend wants to claim against Abby National but is worried as he has a mortgage with them aswell. I know Abbey will shut his account down but will this affect his mortgage in anyway.

 

Thank you

Ok firstly I have enclosed some links regarding the recent "victory" for you to read.

 

As for your friend the mortgage is a seperate issue and as long as payments are made on time this will have ne bearing on his claim. I doubt that they will close his account for 2 reasons: firstly it would be seen as retalitory action which is highly frowned up.

secondly the bank gets the mortgage payment from his account. Closing would be a problem for them in regards to recieving their payment.

Hi Guys

 

Recieved a letter from Barclays today about my Woolwich Claims, they say they diagree with my view and state that I had Terms and Conditions relating to all charges in detail. But they have offered me £2162.87 to settle, the amount I asked for including interest was £3653.04.

Should I accept their offer or carry on, If I carry on what do I say in my second letter (which needs to be sent on the 1st June) in regards to their letter.

I was surprised they have offered me anything so quick, surley if they are offering me something that mean they know they are wrong

Thanks

Hi Could someone give me some quick advise, I bank with Abbey National now and have keep my account clean. But unfortunatly my husband left me 6weeks ago and I have got into some trouble with my account last month, I will from now on be ok but Abbey are going to take £290.00 in charges next week and if they do that I will be overdrawn again with more charges, they wont give me a temp overdraft and dont think I will be able to catch up again seeing as I only have one wage.

Im going to talk to Abbey but not sure what to say to get them to drop the charges, when I spoke to them today they said the charges are explained in my terms & Cond and I should keep me account upto date to stp this happening. I do know this but I just had a bad month and cant afford for them to take £290.

 

Any advise would be appriciated thank you.

Hi Guys,

A number of things could happen. They might still lodge a defence. They may apply for a stay of judgement. Then if the stay is granted continue on with their defence. As they have never defended their charges in a court room that is unlikely. You have already rejected their first offer. So i would say they will likely let the judgement stand.

Where you have requested judgment by default with immediate payment, you can request a warrant of execution, once the status on MCOL shows that judgment has been entered. You can also request a warrant if the defendant fails to make payments under the terms of their judgment order (this applies whether the judgment is obtained by default or by admission.) Good luck.

Hello can some one help me please,

I had my judgement returned, reason for failure is:

 

We are unable to register a Firm/Limited Company. Please advise if the judgement relates to:

a) Limited Company trading as a firm

b) Joint Judgement against firm amd limited company

c) Firm only

d) Limited company only

e) Firm part of address for limited company e.g Accounts or Solicitors

f) other - please specify

 

Is this because I have thier details wrong

Name- The Woolwich

Address- Barclays Bank PLC

1 Churchhill Place

London

E14 5HP

 

Im very confused with what I have done wrong and what I need to do now, please help if you can

Thanks x

Hi zbeukers

 

I've just notice what you've done and yes, it will be because of your typo.

 

Name should be : Barclays Bank Plc t/a (trading as) The Woolwich

 

Address : 1 Churchill Place, LONDON E14 5HP

The Defendant is Barclays and is therefore a public limited company.

 

A (PLC) is a company having a share capital whose memorandum of association states it to be a public company. The shares of a PLC can be offered for sale to the general public as has been with Barclays.

 

I think the court need you to clarify as it's your claim and they can't make decisions for you.

 

I would personally go fo option D) because, despite it having publically owned shares, Barclays is a LIMITED company.

 

If in doubt, ring the court and see if they agree that D) is most appropriate.

3 Active Claims:

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

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Joint account) - Awaiting court date

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Joint account) Pre-6 yrs- LBA sent.

Thanks,

 

I have rang the court and they said I just needed to delete Barclays from the address and tell them that it is Woolwich who owes me the money. I just had to send covering letter explaining that.

 

Thanks again x

Yes it is thank you for all your advise, I feel so lucky to get an offer as ive just read the thread about the test case and all cases being suspended althou all offers have to be honered. Do I wait until I have the cheque before telling the court.

Yes, wait. Once you get the cheque in hand, you can advise the court that the claim is settled. Promises of settlement are not the same as settlement (and many are waiting 1, 2 months on still with no cheque sent).
