    • 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 Netty

 

I Rang the court today and DG had filed the defense today and the guy at the court said that the AQ would be sent soon.

Rang DG and left a message and there was a reply from Michelle when I got home. I think I will give them another ring tommorrow.

Any advice on how we can speed them up?

If i've been helpful in any way....then tip my scales over there!

I presume I will get a N149 through the post. Do I have to attach any documents to this? Looking through the help pages it looks like no. Any advice on filling in section G, or can the wording in the guide to completion be used as a template. Any advice gratefully received.

New strategy for Allocation Questionaires

and here is how to use it:

for section g on the aq, use the wording on post #3 of new strategy link,

and then attach draft order for directions to your aq - use wording on post #2 of new strategy link making sure to add your name and court claim number to all pages. simple as that. just follow the steps with these two minor additions. the draft order is just asking the judge to order both parties to lay out their wares within 14 days of him ordering it - so it shortens the length of the time to a court date - and as dg/hsbc/all banks don't want to do it - they will pay up by offer or just not file their aq in which case you also win.

 

pinched this bit off lattie - very useful

GuidoT, Netty

 

Thanks for that. Just getting a bit (read very) nervous.

 

How does this sound for an email to DG?

 

Thankyou for replying to the message I had left on your voicemail today. Sorry I was unable to take your call.

Could you please tell me where we are on settling the above claim.

I have attached my breakdown of charges.

 

Regards

Received AQ in the post yesterday. Needs to be returned by 5th March. Seems like a pretty standard defense.

 

1: The claimants account is governed by the Defendants personal and/or business banking terms and conditions.

2: Pusuant to the Defendants terms and conditions the defendant is entitled to make a charge for its services as set out in the defendants price list, including an overdraft review fee for considering whether to provide and providing and overdraft

3: The defendant denies that the charges applied to the claimants account amount to penalities at common law and/or unfair contract terms for the purposes of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999(UTCCRs)

4: The charges applied the the claimants account are reasonable and are properly and fully disclosed in the defendants terms and conditions and published price list. The charges represent the contractually agreed price for the services provided and the UTCCRs are not appilicable to them: alternatively, they are not unfair contrary to the YTCCRs. Further, the charges are not default charges and, accordingly, cannot amount to a penalty.

5: Save as set out above, each and every allegation made by the claimant is denied. For the reasons set out above, it is denied that the claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

 

It is signed by Kate Eaves, so I guess I should direct all my correspondence, emails(kate.eaves@hsbc.com?), faxes, phone calls, through her.

 

Secondly. After 14 days of filing my AQ, In accordance with the draft order of directions I have to do the following:

 

  • a) A schedule setting out each charge repayment of which is sought, showing the date, amount, and reason given (if any) for that charge being made;(Basically a breakdown of my charges)

  • b) Copies of any statement or other document relied upon as showing that each and every charge has been made;(A copy of all my statements with charges on).

  • c) A statement of evidence of all matters relied upon as tending to show that the charges are irrecoverable as penalties or otherwise;(a statement showing which cases and legal material I will rely on in court(i.e UTCCR (1999) and UCT(1977).

  • d) Copies of decided cases and other legal materials to be relied upon.(Relevant copies of the cases from the court bundle)

Thanks for that. Just sending the following email to Kate:

 

With reference to the above claim number and the emails below, I received my allocation questionnaire on Saturday 17th February.

I have until the 5th March 2007 to file this with the court and this will incur a further charge of £100 which I will add to my claim.

I have also attached a copy of my breakdown of charges.

Please could you confirm that you have received this email and where we are in settling the above claim.

 

I will also ring here monday to find out where we are.

roosterrs - i've gone away to seek council and guidance as your thread may be the start of a new tack by dg - not to worry - in fact, they may have shot themselves in the foot.

 

but, wait for advice from a site helper or a mod before doing anything else, -if i'm wrong -(usually am) i'll be back to tell you one way or the other.

 

but, one question - all you put in that post - it all came from the court, right?

 

my thinking is - dg is now getting the draft order attached much earlier than we were getting it attached and will mean we have to have the paperwork to submit with the aq - so, no one with an aq with this specific order attached should do anything with it until the mod's and helpers have seen it and tell us how to procede. (i think i understand but we want def confirmation on what's going on before we do anything else)

so, just don't do anything with it all til we/i get back to you. it's a procedural change - nothing to do with you individually so don't panic at all. just chill for the moment.

  • d) Copies of decided cases and other legal materials to be relied upon.(Relevant copies of the cases from the court bundle)

 

You don't have to worry about providing a), b), c) and d) yet. Those documents only need to be provided if/when the judge actually orders those directions. All you are doing at this stage is proposing them.

 

Attach the draft directions to the AQ and fill in section G as advised, then send back the AQ. In a couple of weeks you'll receive a notice of allocation from the court which will contain the directions - its at that point you need to comply with them by sending the relevant documents.

Please remember to DONATE! Help CAG keep up the fight!
