    • 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.

Now that I have returned to the wonderful world of CAG and, being new to the North East, haven't yet built up the massive social life I had in Kent I was wondering if there were any CAGers up here that would like to meet up for a pint somewhere up here. I have provisionally said Newcastle but would be happy to go to Sunderland, Durham or even Teesside if that's where most of the people are.

 

What do you reckon?

So I take it there aren't many people on the forum from the Northeast? I will have to do some recruiting!

 

It's either that or my reputation preceeds me

How about organising a meet either between christmas and new year (if people are up this way visiting family) or sometime early in the new year?

 

I take it Newcastle is the best place for it.

I would like to make it quite early in the New Year. Yes there are definitely YHA's up here but not sure where yet. With most CAG gatherings people are generous enough to host visiting CAGers so if anyone has a spare room to let they may contact you via PM.

 

I have ended up on many a CAG floor (some have even been kind enough to lend me a bed)

It was one of the private (well, public) schools, I'm afraid ... although I got there on the assisted places scheme after scoring highly on the 11+, so please don't hold that against me ;)
