    • 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.

Recieved a letter today, identical in wording to the OP, only my court date was MONDAY (6 days away!!) had obviously heard nothing from [problem], and not recieved a bundle from them- sent my letter about this to court yesterday.

 

Interestingly the judge who has ordered the stay is NOT the same judge who was supposed to be doing the hearing.

 

It does say that I can apply for the order to be set aside, varied or stayed, so maybe there is a small hope.

have downloaded the letter and the N244 form - will fill them in and get them down there this afternoon

 

Has anyone had stays lifted in regards to the OFT case?, especially when they are so close to the court dates?

very worried now:mad: :(

I have filled in the N224 and taken the letter in the forum as a statement (I altered it a little) and have APPLIED to have it lifted, but that was only yesterday afternoon. My court date was next Monday, and typically I had recieved nothing fromSCAM til that point....

Hi Malaga

Heard nothing to date re: my fast approaching date at Brighton County Court next week. I have just phoned the court and they said a stay was in the post so it does not look too promising.

I'll be interested to see the outcome of your request to lift your stay. In the meantime I have sent a letter to [problem] berating them for not complying with court orders on the bundle and will soon whack off a similar letter to the court highlighting [problem]'s negligence.

Brett, their leaving it pretty close to the date with yours arent they! Seeing as they were meant to be getting all letters out re stays at Brighton a week ago! I thought maybe yours would go ahead. I put my request to lift the stay last friday- they said ring if I dont hear within a week.

Well......

 

My wife went to court and yes rep from solicitors turned up. Judge was very nice explained the position Luton CC are in where all new cases are stayed. However they have a few cases in the system that are being heard as they feel this is the fairest way. However i felt he had already decided to agree to the stay before i went in. Unless i had a good argument for example migrating abroad or terminal illness and i could,nt wait. He felt this was the best way forward. Stay granted till 31st March 2008 allowing test case to procede in January.

 

Good luck anyone else in court at Luton this week!

Malaga, I now have the answer in writing from the court to 'Should I stay or should I go? Predictably [problem] are staying and I don't get to go.

The order was made by a different judge last Friday but not processed till Monday and the letter postmarked Tuesday.

The letter states that the test case is expected to be heard between 14/01/08 and 28/02/08, with a review of my case scheduled for 7/03/08.

I can apply to lift the stay but from what I've seen in the forum threads, nobody has applied successfully yet and there would have to be really strong reasons (as per garfy's experience at Luton) for the lift. So it looks like I will be sitting tight along with everybody else until March 2008, praying for an ace result from OFT ... any news on your lift request yet?

Sorry to hear that Garfy, you wait all this time then it seems its all for nothing! Still you had to give it a go the judge might have gone the other way. Looks like everybody will be waiting then.

Brett, ive just rang Brighton Court.They said they have had a lot of requests to lift the stays and they are with the judge now. She said its likely that the judge will list them all together for a hearing! I should hear something by next week.

Malaga, that's very interesting. I think I might go along the N224 route after all. The immediate problem is that I don't have the £35 fee until I get paid again at the end of next week so I'll play a temporary waiting game keeping an eye on your news until I have the funds.

Can you add this fee to the main court fee as part of the claim?

Payday today so filing N244 this afternoon together with the standard letter that [problem] have not complied with court directions (there's a surprise!).

My (work) local Lloyds branch was firebombed recently and is out of action for the foreseeable future. I'd like to think that a disgruntled claimant was responsible but it's probably the work of another deranged arsonist...

Sorry to add on, but don't know how to start new thread.

 

I have been claiming against Capital one, I received a letter of offer dated 14th saying my refund will be with me within 14 working days from the 14th August, as yet nothing (it was a full refund) today I recieved a letter from the courts about a stay has been ordered on the 20th August, attached to the letter of stay from the courts is a letter from Cap 1 saying they have refunded me my money on 14th and want the case closed. I am very confused, will I get my money know within the 14 days or will I have to wait until after the hearing, also if they have already made me an offer, don't they have to honour that anyway???

 

Very, very, confused.
