    • 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.

I thought I'd better start a thread in the Abbey forum as things seem to be moving forward. I started following the advice in Moneysaving.com and just recently found this site. I've already had my list of charges etc from Abbey and sent in a request for a refund. Had a letter at 4 wks and another at 8 wks. So this week I sent them the court warning letter by recorded delivery. Today I had a reply from them offering £170 as a goodwill gesture and disclaiming any wrongdoing on their part. I am now resolved to go the distance with them and will be sending in my court papers on the 14th day (Monday 25th June). Like most people I am finding this a bit daunting but am hugely comforted by the wealth of support I'm finding here.

I expect I will be seeking help and support in the coming weeks as I go into battle. I'm currently waiting for Patricia Pearl's book to arrive as I am totally ignorant about the procedures involved. Will keep you all posted. :smile:

Thanks Andypal for your reply.

 

A further development today is that Abbey have put two mounts into my account. One for £20 and one for £30 both called miscellaneous fee refunds. Their letter today stated a GOGW for £170. What should I do about both the money in my a/c and the letter. Do I have to write and reject them both?

Hi John

 

Have found your thread and you need to confirm this with others but my understanding is you can advise them you accept the money as partial payment against the amount of your claim and you will continue your action through the court if necessary to obtain judgement for the balance owed. I have also been told you should do this marked "without prejudice".

Just another idea for you but do ask for other opinions.

Abbey has just sent a reply to my LBA, they want another four weeks to investigate. I'm just going ahead with my timetable now. Every letter I get says they need another 4 weeks. It is just blatant time wasting.

Doubt if you'll need it John. Save yourself some costs, start a new folder on your computer and put everything you need in there, start with the basic court bundle from the libabry and add all the other bits you'll need.

 

Then, if Abbey do hang things out till you need a bundle, it's simple to print everything off cos it's all in one place.

 

Don't start printing yet, you may not need to and you'll have wasted paper and ink.

 

Abbey will hang out till the very last minute but they almost always settle just before the court date.

Good thinking batman I'll do that. Looking at all the various actions in progress there doesn't seem to be any standard response from Abbey. The way I'm looking at it the longer they mess around the more they have to pay.

I need some advice Gary please.

 

Two days ago I received Abbeys defence after they had sent an acknowledgement of receipt. They also offered a settlement of 65%. Today I hear about the OFT test case in the high court and I don't know what to do for the best. Abbeys Ack. of receipt runs out on the 30th July but I read in the report on the test case that the OFT are allowing the banks to waive any claims until after the test case result. Is it worth trying to get the 65% they've offered or is it better to press ahead with the case in the court.Any advice will be gratefully received.

 

:x Johnd3 :x
