    • 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 have been reading your threads for a long time now, and have taken lots of advice from it.

 

I have 3 accounts with the woolwich, A joint account, My own, and Openplan.

 

They all amount to Over £16,000, I have been in contact with Head office customer Relations, and was offered 4,500, as a goodwill gusture on all 3, I sent a refusal letter (from your template), and had a phone call from the customer relations manager, who said that he cant offer anymore, and as I have started court proceedings on one, it is now out of his hands.

 

He asked if i would like him to send me a letter confirming that, I thought it would all add to my evidence so i accepted,

 

I am claiming for them all sepratley and barclays have offered £2000 for both Openplan, and my own account, 2,500 for the joint account,

 

The letter reads as follow:

 

I refer to our telephone conversation of 12 March

 

I am sorry you are unhappy with our offer of £2500 and have requested that we refund all of the charges you have incurred over the last six years. After careful consideration, I regret that I am unable to agree to your request.

 

Should you now wish to accept our offer, please sign and return the acceptance form enclosed with our letter of 22 Febuary. However, if you do not wish to accept this offer and you now intend to start legal proceedings it would appear we are unable to reach an amicable resolution.

 

I have started court proceedings for my Openplan account, and with all the costs comes to just over 5,000

 

I have received a notice of Acknowledgment, saying that they now have 28 days, which will be 4th April.

 

So I thought that I would start a thread, because I feel that I will soon be needing all the help I can get,

 

I have My statments, and I have printed off a copy of OFT report on Default charges, and The unfair terms in Consumer contracts regulations 1999, and I have yet to print off a copy of Unfair contract terms act 1977.

 

What is the chances that I wont hear anything by the 4th, so that I would have to pass judgment?, and if they do phone offering a settlement, they would offer a settlement for the other two accounts as well?

 

Sorry for the very long thread, but I thought I would get to a stage where I would need your help and support, as I visit your site often, and cant seem to get into your chat room without freezing, or not at all.

 

I hope I hear from someone.

Hi and welcome you dont need advice you need to slow down, only kidding your on the ball and if they offer it will be for that account only im afraid, you will more than likely get your dosh after you return the AQ, good luck and any questions ask away.

Hi, Just to say dont be surprised if the Woolwich leave it until the last minute to file a defence. That's what happened to me, now i've just completed the Qa, and have printed the court bundle just incase i get to a hearing.

 

Good Luck

Just reading through the small claims self help kit, it stated "who can be sued",

"always take care to consider who you name on the summons, if you get the wrong party, then the claim may be sruck out, and costs ordered against you".

 

I put Mr Richard Coote Barclays Bank Plc, that is the name of the customer relations manager, was this wrong?

No you don't need a solicitor. :)

 

I don't think you need to name anybody personally, if I rememeber correctly there was an option of "company or organisation"???

 

You will get plenty of help here, don't worry about anything you dont understand, just post it here and someone will point you in the right direction.

24 hours in a day... 24 in a case... co-incidence???

I wouldn't think so mate.

Would be a bit over the top if they struck your claim out for that!

 

What does it say on your Notice of Acknowledgment as defendant?

Hi, Just a quick question, I still havent received a responce from barclays, it states that they have 28days to file a defence, well do i take the 28 days from the date that is written on the acknowledment of service? which is dated 17th March?

does that mean i can serve judgment on the 4th april?? (fingers crossed), or do they normally take this long?
