    • 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,

 

You can, partially but you still need to actually go into the court to hand the Forms in.

 

Have a read through Scotia's notes:

And you'll find everything you need on there...

I have successfully claimed against: "MBNA, Capital One, Bank of Scotland & Clydesdale Bank"

Hi All,

 

I was just wondering can you file a claim, in Scotland, online??

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

Laura

 

 

you can download the forms here

Small Claims

 

but you cannot file them online, you have to do that in person...oh just had a thought... I'm not sure if you can post them. Off to do some further looking.

Bank of Scotland round 1: £740 + costs settled, still sore over the 8% grrr

Bank of Scotland round 2: £629 +101.15 interest +£39 costs settled.

you can actually submit online...but through email, and only if you have an account with the sherriff court. I got told that i could send all documents via email, but claim wouldn't be 'submitted' until payment is received, and this would have to be personally as i dont have an account

Hi,

 

Thank you for your help. I was actually supposed to start the claim on the 28th June as that was the deadline for the bank. Do you think i should just start it now, would it be OK after saying i would start it last month.???

 

Many Thanks in advance

when you give them a deadline this is the date by which they must reply......as long as you don't submit claim before this deadline then it's ok.....i would just go ahead and submit claim asap.

hi all.

 

Do you think i should write to the bank to say i am filling a claim now, since its been quite long since i gave them the final warning? Will it look bad for me if i file the claim now without informing them.?

 

many thanks in advance

No, if they had wanted to settle they would have done by now.

Go ahead and submit your claim now,the'll known you mean business when they recieve your summons.
