    • 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,

 

I posted last week about a close family members current situation in relation to Northern Rock mortgage arrears.

 

She has this morning received notification that she is due in court on the 22nd July 2008 for the possesion hearing - this gives her only 14 days notice to file her defence. Is there anyway that she could request to have the hearing delayed to prepare a defence. Infact, if it was delayed until the 2nd week in August she could pay off the arrears in full anyway.

 

Also, in relation to this she is in a position to make normal payments plus a reasonable amount towards the arrears straight away, this has been put to Northern Rock but so far fallen on deaf ears. Do the guidelines in this matter not state that every other option must be explored before legal action?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

I'm not any expert in these matters, so my advice is that due to the urgency contact the site team, they in turn will certainly know of a member/s with relevant experience.

To do this you simply need to click on the red triangle, then leave a message in the pop-up window.

 

Regards

 

Andy

Hi Bossman, it is very unlikely that NR will agree to adjourn the hearing. I assume that it is an N11M form that she has been sent? The court will accept the completed forms up to 7 days before the hearing.

 

I can help with the completing of the forms and also the defence in Q27 of the form.

 

We can also do a statement to take to court on the day.

 

Just let me know when you are ready to start.

 

Kind Regards

Hi Ell-enn,

 

Thanks so much for your advice.

 

I have sent the relevant information over to you in regard to creating a defence.

 

She is feeling so much more positive now after you stepping in to help. Just shows with right knowledge what can be done.

 

Thanks again,

Boss-Man

OK. let's wait and see what reply she gets to her letter to NR. Did she get the budget sheet from Nationaldebtline website? When she fills that in to send to them, she needs to make sure that there isn't much if any surplus income which is unaccounted for otherwise they will ask for a larger monthly payment (if you see what I mean).

 

As the hearing has been restored and there are no forms to return to a deadline - we can wait to enter a statement(defence) until a few days before, depending on the reply from NR.

 

Kind Regards

Thanks Ell-enn,

 

I used the one on this site and adapted it slightly for her. Do you think the one from National debt line would be better?

 

The surplus income was around £30.00 - would that be about right?

 

The good news in this is that she is starting to sound more like her old self again with your advice. I'm going to be out of the country on the date of the hearing (if it does goes ahead that is - we can always hope they agree :)) so can't attend for moral support (we are also at opposite ends of the country so I couldn't really anyway!). I was begining to think she wasn't up to going to a hearing.

 

Thanks again Ell-enn,

there may well be someone from here near your friend that would be willing to go with her for moral support :)

Thanks Honey, I will tell her that when I speak to her later and post on here if she feels that would be better.

Hi there, if it looks as if she may have to attend the hearing she could ring the court and ask if they have duty solicitors or CAB advisors in attendance on the days when possession hearings are taking place. A lot of the courts do have them and they will come into the hearing and give support.

 

Kind Regards

Thanks for that Ellie, I'll pass your message on to her.

 

Hopefully she will be OK. With Ell-enn's excellent help and assistance in preparing a defence I'm sure all will be fine.

The offer of repayment and budget plan have been sent of to NR and their sol's (with Ell-enn's kind assistance). Lets see what they come back with - keeping everything crossed they accept it :smile:.

 

Will keep you posted.

OK, if the hearing is on 22nd July, then I think she ought to enter the defence forms next Tuesday anyway as it's unlikely NR will respond in writing before then. Is she able to personally deliver the forms to the local court? if not she needs to send them guaranteed next day delivery on Monday. I will get the statement for Q.27 done today/tomorrow.

 

Kind Regards

Thanks Ell-enn,

 

That was my concern as well. I pretty sure she will be able to go to the court on her way to work to drop papers in.

 

Do you need any more info from me to prepare the defence? Also, can we download the papers from the internet as she hasn't been sent any court papers?

 

I really appreicate your help in this.

Thanks

Sorry Bossman, (I've only had one cup of coffee this morning:D) There are no forms to fill in if she has received a notice of restored hearing. She just needs to take a statement to court with her - so there's no deadline for next week.

 

Kind Regards

Thanks Ell-enn,

 

Once the statement is ready I will pass it on to her - thanks :)

 

If NR agree to adjourn the case based on her offer, would you advise her to still go to the court on the hearing date?

 

Thanks

I would advise her to ring the court the afternoon before to check that's what they've done - if they haven't asked for an adjournement then she should turn up and hear what is being said.

That's a start anyway - but we'll have the statement ready just in case;)

I can't stress enough, that, if NR say they will cancel/adjourn the hearing you should check with the court that this has been done. If it hasn't then they need to go to the hearing.

 

Kind Regards

Thanks Ell-enn,

 

I have stressed the importance of this to her, especially bearing in mind their sneaky previous tactics.

 

Will keep you posted on develpments.

Hi All,

 

Just to update the situation.

 

Letter received today from D3 Legal (NR's solicitors) rejecting the offer of a repayment plan out of hand.

 

They are saying the only way to avoid the court hearing is to bring the current arrears below two months. To do this will cost £1100.00, however the figure they gave us last week to adjourn the hearing was £1650.00. It has now changed! If they'd said that at the begining its quite possible she could have raised the £1100.00 :x

 

Any advice and suggestions would be welcomed.

 

Looks like she's going to have to go to court though :(

 

Thanks

Hi - Ok, if she goes to court and the judge sees that her offer has been rejected on arrears of less than £2k, he will more than likely give the lender a piece of his mind.

 

You will need to affix a copy of the rejection letter she has recieved to the statement. I will update the statement for you.

 

Kind Regards
