    • 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.

I am sure that this is the case Elmo but I just feel a bit down as both this claim for £600 and my other one against Nasty Vest for for £4500 are both being defended.

 

Still not downhearted-just slightly deflated.

Had my letter today from nationwidetelling me that they have refunded me the money. just awaiting £795 in interest and court costs now. They told me it would be in my account tomorow. So I guess that is me finished. Good luck everyone else. Just stick with it. I didnt use the correct method and they still paid me before the deadline.

My email to Mr Bacon read as follows;

 

Dear Mr Bacon

I would like to remind you that my Notice of Acknowledgment was served in the Northampton County Court on the 3rd of April, which gives Nationwide less than 7 days to file a defence against my claim.

I have again attached my Charges schedule and would hope that this matter is resolved very shortly before Court action takes place.

Yours faithfully

Just remember to attached you charges spreadsheet

Fingers Crossed !!

PP,

 

Don't be too nervous about the defence. They used to submit the defence after they paid up. The defence being, 'the claimant has received settlement in full'. Since they've received more claims they appear to be submitting defences before payment as a stalling tactic. It saves them the expense of employing even more people to deal with the mountain of angry customers. Just bear in mind, they didn't have a defence then, and as far as I'm aware they still don't now. The only cases I know of that are being defended are those that are claiming contractual interest.

 

Admittedly, the scariest part of the process is when the claim is deemed served. I'm sure everyone has had wobbly moments. Stick with it!

WELL DONE GUYS!!! GREAT NEWS!!

 

I went into Nationwide at lunch time to get some cheques raised, and it was the first time I had gone in there since getting my charges refunded yesterday. After the clerk took my card, she stared at her screen for a while and then said to me 'Have you had some bank charges refunded recently?' I felt a little embarresed but answered Yes. She leaned forward and said to me ' Well done'. How about that!!!

Elmo, wait till you get the full settlement and then just send them a short letter telling them that you have received a full settlement and that you wish to cancel your claim. Must state your claim number though.

 

Happy Spending!!
