    • 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 am about to make a claim vs. Clydesdale Financial Services (£350 worth of letter charges) and I need a little help as its not straight forward.

 

 

Originally the debt was with Cetelem UK but it was sold on to Clydesdale.

 

 

As it was originally with cetelem I didn’t sign any credit agreement with Clydesdale Financial Services So this section on the prelim letter will not apply

 

 

I would draw your attention to the terms of the contract which you agreed to at the time that I opened my account. It is an implied term of that contract that you would conduct yourselves lawfully and in a manner which complies with UK law.

Should I still include that paragraph in the letter or should I replace it with something

 

 

If I should what would be the best thing to say

 

 

Also I have calculated that if I reclaim the charges I would have overpaid on my account by around £160 or so

 

 

Should I include this on the prelim as well or stick it on the schedule of charges

 

Thanks

Has CFS added any charges to your account?

 

If not I Would have thought you needed to claim of Cetalem UK who are owned by the Halifax.

 

The £160 overpayment will be made up of the charges you are re-claiming and your balance would be zero after a sucsessful claim.

 

If the charges are from CFS then you should have had a contract with T&C's then you could just alter the prelim letter by replacing (account opened) to (entered into contract with you) and finish it off with It is an implied term of that contract that you would conduct yourselves lawfully and in a manner which complies with UK law.

 

Hope this helps and if I'm Wrong on some of the points I've made I'm sure someone will correct me. It will at least give you a bump.;)
