    • 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.

Got a full + final settlement letter thru from LTSB today. Will be accepting amount offered + v. pleased about it too!

 

Just wondering how long it's taken others to actually get their money?

 

Also, when I send a covering letter back to SC&M should I give them a deadline to pay up?

 

Have already said that I won't be sending a letter of discontinuance to court until I have the money, but would I be pushing my luck if I gave them until 10.30am on 9th July (settlement letter was dated 25th June)? Or shall I just wait until they pay me in their own sweet time?

 

I've read on here it can take up to 4 weeks to get the money.

I got a letter from lloyds saying that they think that the charges are fair and i shouldn't go overdrawn blah blah blah, towards the end of the letter they said that on this occasion they where willing to refund my claim minus court fee and interest. they said the money was goin to be in my account within 10 days time. the letter was dated the 8th june and i didnt get the letter til the 22nd. and yep you guessed it ive not got the money. so figure that one out. the battle goes on........ was there any anomolies with date on letter with either of you?

no - my letter was dated 19th June and I got it on the following saturday (23rd). I did get a letter on Friday (22nd) stating they were defending my claim and this was also dated the 19th. Most people seem to get these two letters on the same day but mine got separated by a day. Sent settlement letter back this monday and had the money today. Did phone them today so don't know if this helped (probably not) but (being a girl and being impatient) I certainly would phone them especially in your case.

Good luck.

It wasnt a formal letter of settlement. more of a paragraph in a letter telling me that I was goin to get some of my claim back within 10 days. it required no reply and when ive tried to contact the recovery centre its impossible to talk to anyone at all. sent off my aq the other day, so its just a waiting game.
