    • 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.

OK, so either one of two things has happened:

 

(1) They have made a mistake and recorded the wrong box as being ticked on a prescription filled in November 2014, or

(2) You or someone who collects prescriptions for you has made a mistake and ticked box M instead of box F.

 

If you are 100% sure that (2) cannot have happened in November 2014, then I would urge you to write to the NHS BSA. Include a photocopy of the pre-payment certificate (not the original) and tell them that they've made a mistake and you want your money back.

 

Do you always use the same chemists? Might be worth having a word with the pharmacist, I don't know if they keep any records themselves or not, but it's worth a try.

Please forgive me, but I'm finding it hard to understand what you are trying to say.

 

Are you asking about the charge you've received, or about the fact that you think you've mistakenly claimed an exemption in the past?

 

My advice would be to concentrate on the matter in hand (the charge you've already received) and don't fret about anything else. In my opinion there's no chance that you'll get any correspondence about whatever happened before this; the NHS BSA only took over dealing with it in September 2014, so won't be concerned about anything prior to that.

 

They probably could go as far back as they liked, but why do that? People are likely to just resign themselves to paying a relatively small charge without complaint, but would kick up an almighty fuss if a charge of several thousand pounds arrived out of the blue. This way I'm sure they hoped to increase revenue without stirring up the media. And even if the media do get involved, popular opinion is likely to sneer at amounts such as these as a mere pittance and not take up the cause.

 

Nope they've played it perfectly. Silently introduce a new system whereby they can catch genuine claimants out with paperwork (they argue that it is the paperwork, not the condition that entitles you), send out fines (sorry, charges) with no means of appeal and no burden of proof on them. Perfect.
