    • 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 Guys!

I'm back off hols and seems lot gone on in Halifax dapt. whilst been away. Posted a letter B4 I left stating that I wouldn't accept their partial offer of £1900 and to now refer all matters to their legal department. They completely ignored this and paid into my account anyway , I checked today.

I have had letter from court saying that Halifax have acknowledged and intend to defend all of my claim. Another letter came from Halifax now offering to pay another £2900 which is just £800 short of my claim in full. They say they'll not pay this and will defend this part of the claim in court because it is in excess of 6 yrs ago and something to do with 'The Limitation Act 1980'. I'm over the moon at this extra offer and am thinking of accepting this, don't fancy going to a court hearing. If I can't defend my clain I will have to pay all their legal charges so seems a big risk or is it another bluff our way out letter? Any advice please?

Hi there - i've been reading your post with interest! Did you have a good holiday?

 

I'm not very confident at the giving advice part! But I just wanted to ask, have you read about the OFT test case which was announced at the end of July? Looks like you got yours in just in time!

 

Not sure about the Statute of Limitations thingy... i've read in some posts that people are arguing that it doesn't apply because the banks concealed the true nature of their charges to us until recently. I'm sure someone else will come along with some better advice - I just wanted to make sure you're aware of the test case.

 

Good luck with whatever you decide!

Thanks so much I wasn't aware of that. Brill hol but back to earth with a bump now. Dad in coronary care, lives on coast so just setting off there in a bit. Think will accept their offer, it's more than they offered at start which was zilch, then £1900 now it amounts to about £4700 so can't complain at that. Believe it when see it though.

Thanks everyone, must dash now. xx
