    • 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.

This is great news, time to turn the tables me thinks ;)

I think I am sick in the head, I have some kind of warped sense of humour (well I know I have )

 

What idiot sends an e mail to a solicitors firm, insulting them, and threatening legal action, potentially opening a can of worms, and leaving me and my family, and our home, wide open to a heap of trouble, court costs, and hassle for the next few months, but cant help but grin like a Cheshire cat once I had hit the send button on the email

 

Its madness, but it feels good to fight back !

The plan is

 

1. Part 38 discontinuence claim for defence costs issued now

 

2. Send Dunctons a 14 day notice before legal proceedings, I want the deposit back and the cost of my belongings

 

3. If nothing comes back within 14 days, i still have 14 days to get the notice of discontinuence set aside, or alternatively, start a claim of my own

 

Congratulations you have done so well here. Just my thoughts:

 

As already said by wannabe, I would let the discontinuance stand and get your wasted costs. Then its over for them done & dusted. BTW I hope your cost are 2/3rds of their's:wink:

 

I would not go down the set aside route of the discontinuance at all because once they have discontinued they can't ever come after you for the same thing again! (Not without the court's permission anyway ;))

 

Then go after them with a totally fresh claim, for the deposit, belongings and any other out of pocket expenses due to there actions :cool: Its your time to turn the screws and make them pay for what they put you through.

 

I would be tempted to go for a return of the car or the value of:)

 

Best of Luck (Not that you will need any)
