    • 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.

Hello

 

I'm in court a week on Monday ... gulp!

 

After all the fab advice from this site, I sent off my court bundle and have been informed that my local court is going ahead with all cases... great news!

However, I'm looking for some advice on what to do when at court.. bearing in mind there will be little old me against DG solicitors (they've told me last week they will be representing in court).

 

Anyone out there who can give me some advice?

 

Thanks

Becs:???: :???: :???:

Thanks Pete, All very helpful.

 

Surely though, if the court grants a stay on the day of the hearing, why wouldnt they do that before hand and save us all arriving at court?

 

In court Monday 10th September at 15.00pm - I'll keep you posted on progress.

 

Thanks

Hi melody did DG submit their court bundle to you and the court on time ro at all? if not then that is the 1st part of your arguement for having their request for a stay rejected............

 

it is possible they are learning that where they apply for it before hand we are notified and have the opportuntiy to request a hearing to have it set aside. this I think is causing them serious problems ( so keep up the good work ) now they ae apply for ti at the hearing and in some cases being granted it, adn some it is being passed higher up the chain for a senior judge to decide dependingon the arguement.......

 

as Pete says be prepared for that. have your arguements ready. adn good luck..........if oyu are apprehensive about going on your own if oyu dont have a freiend where you live some on this site have gone withothers as court buddies......... if you need one its something to think about...:)

Yes, it chrystalises the inequality of our situation with the banks.

 

While these stays are in place. Our actions have been bound we can do nothing but the banks can carry on charging, issuing defaults against us and even issuing court proceedings for recovery of debt.

 

They have to be stopped

Age... I think I used very similar words to Freaky

 

The Luton case proves the Judges can stop the banks while the stays are in place and if a few of us get that order from the courts I think the banks will start to realy have to use their £25 a default.... they will have to check every single charge to make sure they arnt breaching a court order :D

Yes am with you there Pete, I said on another thread yesterday we have to become pro-active......

 

what we need is all those who have still got a court case and not had it stayed....as DG seem to be now turning up and asking for a stay at that hearing instead of apply for them, well in some cases .......we need those members to have this arguement with them.. and when they ask for the stay.. they have it ready and ask that any further charges if there are any be stoped until the out come of the "OFT Test Case" and quote Judge whats his face having already done this...

 

hahaha can you imagine the amount of work that would involve. but then if the charges are suspended they wont have anything to check will the?;)

Thanks guys for the info.

 

Answer to your question (audreygreeneyes).. no Ive not recived a court bundle from DG. The hearing is a week on Monday should they have sent me this by now?

 

After speaking to DG the other day, they advised that they would be represnting on the day and would probably apply for a stay. Anyway I asked if they would consider an offer to which he got a bit shirty and said that his client had advised that they would not consider any offers!

 

All sounded abit like ... you've got no-chance girl

 

My hubby's coming along with me ... many thanks for the advice on court buddies though ... brilliant idea

 

Just about to go through the threads you've posted - thanks again.

 

Feeling more confident with all this amo!

 

Becs;) :)

also, my take on this is that dg will ask for a stay - and it's pretty much based on the waiver given by the oft saying basically all cases should be stayed until the outcome of the oft - but there are excemptions to that waiver - in the oft announcement on their website - there is a q and a section - and this is the link and what is said there -

 

 

Questions and answers for OFT test case announcement 26 July 2007

 

12. What happens to those wanting to, or in the process of reclaiming charges while the case is going on?

It will be for the courts to decide in relation to claims made to them.

 

 

look at that discussion thread (it's for several cases where a judgment has been granted to the claimant and then dg goes in for a stay which is just plain silly - but that's them!) there are some ideas there on what to take -

but in your case - you take your copy of the bundle and the letter arguing why a stay should not be granted if that's their ploy. in that letter - i'd include what i've told vin on that discussion thread

discussion thread - Judgment granted then DG tries it on....(3 Viewing) [/url] (multipage.gif 1 2 3 4) page 3. make part of the letter a list of claims which hsbc have settled since the oft announcement (which proves that they are still dealing), and that little list of everything you have done right from the first letter, date, what it was and their response (No Response)

very concise -

xx/xx/xx wrote to hsbc requesting repayment of charges no response

xx/xx/xx wrote lba to hsbc....

xx/xx/xx filed claim with courts....

xx/xx/xx eventually make sure it includes everything you've done and their response - usually nothing at all. this shows they have no intention of doing anything until the court tells them -

last item should be submitting court bundles (by the way that original letter you got telling you a court date will tell you whether or not they should have submitted a bundle and by when) and a big fat no response to you sending them your court bundle (just reread those directions on that court letter to make sure you've done as it said and what they were supposed to do and by when so you know).

would love to know which court simply because it#s good they are going ahead with hearings.

take some more help from this thread - Guidance Notes

several good ones - especially this one:GOT A COURT DATE? A guide to the later stages

 

for sure let us know how you get on and get back if you need more support

This is great, although I do feel my whole life is now being taken over with this damn thing! and that there is soooo much to remember.

 

However, without this site it would be a whole lot worse eh? The supports been great!

 

The court I'm at is in Scun.thorpe, Ive looked a the original letter and court bundles needed to be in 14 days before - so they've failed to do that... but reading other peoples threads the banks are doing this quite regularly now and fobbing everyone off with the OFT test case ... I'll keep you posted on progress.. thanks
