    • 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.

COMPLAINTS ABOUT POSTS / THREADS

 

We have a "Report Post" facility on the site. If you see a post that you think should be reported to us, click on the 'warning triangle' report.gif in the bottom left corner of the post. This will allow you to send us a message with a brief outline of the complaint and will automatically supply the link to the post in question.

 

A Moderator will then view the post and, if necessary, take appropriate action.

 

We ask all of our users to remain vigilant for any posts which contain the following;

Insulting language / swearing

Threats of violence

Racist or sexist language

Potentially libellous wording (i.e. the bank 'stole' my money)

Posts which show the wording to our templated letters, rather than a link to where they can be found

Advertising

Links to commercial organisations (profit making)

 

This is not an exhaustive list

 

COMPLAINTS ABOUT USERS

 

Users who have reason to complain about other users, or Site Team should address their complaint by email to:-

 

[email protected]

 

or contact another member of the site team by PM. To 'PM', left-click on their username - this will bring up the identification page for that user. On the left hand side you will see the option to contact via PM (Send Message).

 

Your complaint will then be investigated and, if appropriate, action taken if that is deemed necessary. Please be patient as this process may take some time. Please also try not to use the forums to resolve the complaint - it will likely only inflame the issue and take more of our valuable time to deal with.

 

If you do need to make a complaint, please try to remain factual. State as precisely as possible who and what you are complaining about.

 

If you feel as though your complaint has not been handled properly, you should address this to the Administrators of the site. They will deal directly with you.

 

Users who have a complaint against Admin should deal directly with Admin! :-)
