    • 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.

Over two years my wife has drained my bank account of £40k.

 

I'm a complete idiot, but did not even know I had internet banking,

my wife obviously set it up behind my back even supplying her phone number as my contact,

 

I always asked her to check my balance & trusted her

not realising she gambled all my money online using all my details & transferring money from my account to her own.

 

I've asked lloyds why they did not alert me looking at the transactions & they say they only send a text,

 

surely they have to be responsible in some way letting this happen,

 

but they tell me it's my own fault,

because my wife had my card & pin which she took from the post without me even knowing,

but my argument is she didn't need my pin for thousands of online transactions.

I think you have to start doing some research to find out how she was able to go into your branch – or else deal with on the telephone and set up Internet banking on your account.

 

Also, have there been any other debts incurred in your name? Have you checked your credit file?

 

Are you still with your wife? Are you intending to call the police?

if this goes back several years

to get access to online banking

all you had to do was type in the number which they sent in a letter to the registered address at the time of account opening.

 

 

I activated a 2007 Lloyds business account internet access using a number I found in a letter from 2007 last year!

no checks whatsoever!

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

She openly admitted to opening my post & setting up Internet banking,

she never had to go into a branch & if the bank did send a query apparently it was just a text message asking for confirmation to the transaction with a yes or no reply.

 

She's run mounds of debts in my name I'm only just starting to gather everything.

 

Not informed police yet, we've got a 3 year old...my wife is trying the Edited card!

You are obviously and justifiably angry.

 

The Edited card as you put it is very emotional but may I suggest you at least take some notice.

 

Is your wife showing any remorse and willingness to get help?

 

First stop would be a visit to the GP.

 

Do you think there may be a link between the birth of your child and the spiral into gambling?

 

If you want to recover the money the police will have to be told I think but at the same time, do you want to save your marriage?

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

No I my marriage is over because I've also found out now she is addicted to cocaine & I'm so worried for my child, but she won't let me take her with me, I don't know what to do

As you are married you have parental responsibilities (and rights). Long gone are the days when the father has no rights.

 

Your wife sounds quite unwell to me, a gambling addict with a cocaine habit.

 

I still wouldn't discount her threats but you need to protect yourself and your daughter.

 

Do you have the ability to look after your daughter, by that I mean caring for her while you are at work etc.

Why should the bank have to accept any responsibility with this?

It's an awful and terrible thing to happen to you

but have you not opened a bank statement at all in the last 2 years?

 

 

It's your bank account,

if she set up online banking without you knowing

how could you ask her to check your balance for you?

 

 

If she took your card and PIN from the post without you knowing how could you use your card,

surely you would have your card in your possession?

it is fraud.

if/if not the op wishes to follow that criminal route is one for them to decide upon.
