    • 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,

 

I am a very late starter with this and so am worried that I might have missed the boat - especially as this gives me the chance to maybe raise funds for my wedding in the next year or so.

 

My account is with the HBOS and I live in Scotland.

 

The letters I used in this claim were from moneysavingsexpert.com

 

I sent a letter on the 22nd March claiming two amounts from two bank of scotland accounts - £1,180 & £4,340 and received one from HBOS 26th March 07 stating that HBOS will investigate and respond in eight weeks.

 

Then a letter came from HBOS on 8th May saying that they thought the charges were lawful.

 

I sent another letter on 15th May to them stating that I didn't think they were lawful and they responded by sending another letter on 29th May 07 to me asking for another four weeks to investigate.

 

I want to know with respect to my claims where I should take this now. I feel there is iminent legislation, from rumours, that banks are to be protected from a certain date, and want to get my claim in before that happens.

 

I hope that you guys can advise me in reclaiming these awful charges and which will hopefully pay for wedding stuff and take the pressure off,

 

Thanks for your time in reading this,

G

There are a few people from Scotland and I am sure they will be along shorty to offer some advice.
