    • 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.

Before I begin forgive me if I dont explain properly but Ill try.

 

I had a wages arrestment before with Universal credit and Nolan solicitors of Kirkintilloch enforced it. I then moved jobs and obviously it stopped.

 

In between moving jobs etc I split up with my partner and moved house on the 1st Oct 11.

 

My ex passed on some letters to me in the middle of Dec. One of the letters stated that On the 15th Dec 11 an arrestment was sent to my employer with a decree for a wages arrestment. It had my old address on it and was dated after I moved.

 

No papers were served by a sherrif officer to myself at all and Im not just saying that in all honesty.

 

I have many questions but cant find any answers.

 

1. Can they do this

2. Do they need all details to be correct

3. Does a sherrif need to physically serve me papers

4. Is the arrestment enforcable

5. What can I do as the amount is over £40 per week and seeing as I pay csa etc I am totally broke and what can I do next as Im at the end right now.

 

I feel totally desperate and alone

 

If anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated

 

thank you

Hi,

 

I take it you did not pay the total amount due under the Decree whilst with your employer before you moved jobs.

 

The amount of any arrestment would depend the amount of money that you earn and is set out in The Statutory Deductions Tables in Schedule 2 of the Debtors (Scotland) Act 1987.

With the introduction of the Bankruptcy and Diligence etc. (Scotland) Act 2007 it is compulsory for the employer to tell the sheriff officers if the employee leaves their employment and the name and address of the new employer if known.

Any advice I give is honest and in good faith.:)

If in doubt, you should seek the opinion of a Qualified Professional.
