    • 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 yeh, i did put it forward to the sheriff officers and they put it forward to the banks - i am going to call them today (banks) and give them one last warning - i was not sure because of this new hold rule! ?! It has been well over 2 weeks and nothing. What's an attachment? thanks.

i was not sure because of this new hold rule!

The sheriff has already passed judgement on this. They have no option but to pay.

 

What's an attachment?

In this case it will be the seizure of goods (which usually focuses the banks mind) and if necessary the subsequent sale of them.

Try to talk to the legal dept if you can get the number. Tell them you will be requesting an attachment (they'll know what that means) if you do not have your money in your account in say 24 hrs. If they do not pay then just go back to the Sheriff's Office, that served the extract for Payment and they will sort out the rest.

 

As Rory says the banks will become very focused once a Sheriff's Officer starts making out attachments for equipment in the branch. They will have another 14 days to pay but once that has elpased the Sheriff's Officer will go back and start removing equipment which could in effect shut the branch down or at the very least cause them a lot of problems!

 

I also had two banks ignore payment orders but after a few phone calls Lloyds have now paid up and Abbey have said they will pay this afternoon! Don't forget you get interest for every day they are late:)

 

Cheers

You have not said which bank it is, of course they recieved it you have proof as the SO would have sent you a letter telling you where/when/how it was served. I would just phone the bank back say you have 24 hrs to pay me £xxxx else I'm going back to the SO.

I agree with maryhillgull. If you give them forever and a day then that's how long they will take to pay. If you want paid quickly you need to start asserting your rights (they wouldn't be so understanding if the shoe was on the other foot).

Hi Punjaban,

 

Things seem to be slowing down for us in my house as we are just waiting for the banks to go to court and then hopefully we might be able to get on with our claim with the FOS.

I don't know whether in January when the summary clause amount goes up to £5,000 if we will maybe try court again for my son's £5,000 in bank charges. We will wait and see.

You seem to be having so much bother with your claim I am surprised that you are still hanging in there.

I wonder if somewhere at the bank they have totally messed up your account and that is why you are having so much trouble. If the sheriff officers have to go into the bank please, please let us know and I will definately come and cheer you on. You can't miss me I drive a lovely big hackney taxi.

By the time that you finally get your money you might be able to pay my fare. Ha Ha.

Hear from you soon.

 

Eileen
