    • 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 Folks,

 

Yes... i got to the county court in London today for my preliminary hearing. Abbey had ensured the courts received a settlement in full letter but failed to send me one!! Typical eh!!. How long till they can pay up??

 

Ok , so I won as the judge awarded me Judgment but ABBEY DID NOT include the continuing 8% interest (in my case 0.063p ). How do I get that back from them? I want to claim back preparation & travel costs. Can any one advise me please ;) .....

 

Shall I just ring Abbey up asap or email them.??? Anyone got any contact information to get the ball rolling.

 

Hope to hear from anyone

foxi :p

The judge just said that Abbey seem to be very slow at processing their settlements and that they had informed the court of the settlement 2 days before the hearing. He asked me if I received the settlement letter and i said 'no'..... at the court all the others waiting for their preliminary hearing with Abbey had heard that is what would happen.

 

Do you have a date??

wait till the order comes through from the judge, it should be about 14 days from date of service, so about 3 weeks in all, so how much was the ongoing interest? was it that much? if it wasnt, is it worth the hassle? as you havnt yet formally accepted, ring them and have a prepared spreadie with costs for doing the bundle, you know how to do this right and what to claim? and then ring them, i am sure that a judge would be in your favour, they have had no intention of defending, alternatively, you could slap in a wasted costs order to the court, but my recommendation is to try Asshursts first

Hi lula,

 

Thanks for the info, think I know how to prepare a breakdown spreadsheet for costs. Apparently there is someone called INGA in Abbey and that you can call to submit this information .. do you know who this person is?

 

What is Asshursts? ;)
