    • 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.

Hiya all,

 

I have tried searching this forum for the above topic to which there are a couple. Once I read further there are some differences so I wonder if anybody could help me?

 

Below is a copy of the text I recieved in my latest letter.

 

"DISTRICT JUDGE _______ has considered the statements of case & allocation questionnaires filed & allocated the claim to the small claims track.

 

Following making an order of courts own initiative

 

This order is made by the court of it's own initiative. Any party affected by this order may apply pursuant to CPR 3.3(5) to have set aside, varied or stayed. Any such application should be made by application notice in accordance with CPR23 & must be made not more than 7 days after the date on which this order is served.

 

By 9th July 2007 the defendant must file & serve a comprehensive witness statement from a responsible employee with statement of truth explaining the Banks charging regime & exhibiting all relevent documents justifying it; and, if they are discrectionary, the decision to apply the charges the subject of this claim to the claimant.

 

In default of compliance by the defendant the defence is struck out on 10th July 2007 & the claimant may apply for judgment,

 

The court must be informed immediately if this case is settled by agreement before the hearing date.

 

Date: 14the June 2007"

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

I have seen other threads with the same heading but they have got a court date.

 

Could anyone please enlighten me as to what this means?

 

Thanks in advance.

At a quick glance this looks absolutelt BRILLIANT. Lloyds have got to justify their charges - you don't have to do anything.

Hopefully a MOD will pick up on this. If not I will continue to Bump it.

Excellent. We've seen a few of these lately. Oldham CC by any chance?

 

Just wait for them to either pay up or default. If it gets to the 10th July then fill in a request for judgement and file it at the court along with a wasted costs letter.

That's excellent.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I hope it goes to court, would be good to see Lloyds justify their charges.

 

No doubt they'll pay up without it going to court

GuidoT & Gary,

 

Look at my post 58 on my thread. At this late stage do you think I could incorporate this Order into my suggestion for a court bundle. Something along the lines of Dear Judge I am going to rely on these pieces of evidence please ask **** to say what they are going to rely on?

If we can get this in front of as many Judges as possible it would save a lot of time and expense for claimants and courts.

Hiya all,

 

After recieving the letter posted above I have now recieved a letter from SC & M with a request for tfurther info.

 

They want to know:

1 - Each & every individual amount of the charge that you are claiming and are disputing,

 

2 - The date of each and every charge that you say was deducted from your account.

 

3 - How you calculate any interest.

 

4 - How you calculate the sum of £xxxx.xx

 

5 - Confirm your sort code & bank account numbers.

 

They say that LTSB are 'minded to enter into settlement negotiations with you' but they need this info before they can do so.

 

My question is, the judge has indicated that he wants LTSB to send the following:

 

 

By 9th July 2007 the defendant must file & serve a comprehensive witness statement from a responsible employee with statement of truth explaining the Banks charging regime & exhibiting all relevent documents justifying it; and, if they are discrectionary, the decision to apply the charges the subject of this claim to the claimant.

They have until July 9th to send the above info, If i reply to this letter they won't be able to send the correct info in the timescale, could I then apply for judgment; or will the letter I have recieved today be enough for LTSB to get an extension to the deadline of July 9th?

Sounds like they are claiming not to have received a copy of your schedule of charges - if you haven't sent one then you should do so asap - there is no way that Lloyds will comply with the judges order though - so expect settlement soon - but if they haven't got a schedule of charges they will not be able to.

Hi, I recieved the exact same letter from LTSB solicitors as MRFRINIGHT asking the very same 5 questions, we gave them exactly what they asked for, to the letter.

Thanks Nic.

 

Yes, I've received exactly the same letter in the last week. I'm just drafting a reply now, HOPE YOU ALL AGREE, along lines of

- already sent you S of Charges, here's another copy

- interest as per S.69 C Court etc. etc.

- calculated by adding charges, and 8% etc. (SHALL I PUT AMOUNT WHICH IS AMOUNT ON THE DATE I DID MCOL?)

- here's my account details, now just give me my money back (not exactly....).

Interesting....

Was thinking...

do we continue to add the days on to our SoC's.....

ours must have another month to add on... or does it stop when we sent out SoC to the bank?

Generally you do not update your SoC, it must tie in with your PoC. Your PoC should have a daily rate of interest that takes care of any interest that has accrued since the date of filing.

Hiya Peeps,

 

Just a quick question. Having recieved the letter from SC&M regarding more info.

 

I did initially send them all the info they are asking for now, plus LTSB will have all the info as I got most of it from them in the first place! I have since sent them the info again and stated I want a response within 7 days (which gives them until the date the court gave them)

 

My question is, the letter I recieved from the judge stated:

 

 

By 9th July 2007 the defendant must file & serve a comprehensive witness statement from a responsible employee with statement of truth explaining the Banks charging regime & exhibiting all relevent documents justifying it; and, if they are discrectionary, the decision to apply the charges the subject of this claim to the claimant.

 

Now should I not recieve anything by Tuesday/Wednesday could I file for judgment on the basis that LTSB didn't do as the judge asked in the time frame, or does the delaying tactics letter asking for more info give them more time?

 

Any comments would be appreciated.

In my humble opinion:

 

If as you state, you have already sent the information they are now requesting, and recieved some form of acknowledgement at the time (which I would guess would have just been their standard letter), then It's their lookout, and I think the last bit of the order speaks for itself, and answers your question:

 

"In default of compliance by the defendant the defence is struck out on 10th July 2007 & the claimant may apply for judgment,"

 

If I was yourself, I would perhaps send them the information they are now requesting by a "without prejudice" email, headed as URGENT, remind them they have already recieved it, and had plenty of time to deal wih it.

Then inform them, that if they really are serious about offering an out of court settlement, that they have until the morning of 10th to do so, otherwise you will apply for judgement as the order entitles you to that same afternoon.

This way you have covered all your bases.

Just thought I would update.

 

I have today hand delivered a letter to my local court with a request for judgement by default.

 

My District Judge ordered:

 

 

 

By 9th July 2007 the defendant must file & serve a comprehensive witness statement from a responsible employee with statement of truth explaining the Banks charging regime & exhibiting all relevent documents justifying it; and, if they are discrectionary, the decision to apply the charges the subject of this claim to the claimant.

Neither LTSB nor S,C & M responded to this other than the standard 'time wasting' letter asking for more information which they already have.

 

I have stated this, and sent a copy to the judge asking for Judgement by default as they didn't respond directly to the court order.

 

Will have to sit tight now and wait.
