    • 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 have smoked since being 16, quite a late starter in today's age. I'm now 24 and regularly smoked 15 a day. I found it was more routine than the actual craving for smoking and for me, it was just convincing myself that I didn't need the nicotine and that going to the back door for a ciggie just wasn't worth the effort.

 

Another thing which has helped me stop smoking has been something so simple, it's a little strange and i'm sure some poeple will be locked up under the mental health act for doing it but - when I decided to stop smoking, although I weren't addicted to the nicotine, I just basically said out loud to myself, J, you have a choice, can you say no to this cig. So I said that to myself "I don't need this one yet", and then again a few hours later "I don't need this one yet".

 

It's only been since January 1st admittedly, but I haven't had nor cravaed a cigarette and I feel a lot more comfortable than I did when I stopped for 4 months a few years back.

 

I have done the social events and not craved a ciggie with my beer so I think (fingers crossed) I have beaten it this time - it also comes down to my partner who also smokes but has put herself through torment reducing her fag intake by 80% to 2 a day!

 

So far, since Jan 1st, we have saved roughly £40 between us!

Well done if it works use it, i only stopped yesterday using NRT (patches). I have stopped so many times i have lost count and i hate feeling so reliant on them but this time i am so determand to stay off them i would do anythink. Just a warning message to everyone though please be very careful with Champix and Zyban they do work for a lot of people but they can also caurse a lot of side effects including depression mood swings and even aggresssive behaviour towards people. I have first hand expeariance of Zyban as i worked for Glaxo when they made them and i used them, scary depression and i have never suffered from depression befor or since and i believe Champix can be even worse so please be careful with any thing that messes with the brain.To be positive both my wife and i have stopped (20 a day each) £10 a day £70 a week £300 a month £3600 a year, god thats a good holiday!!! SO DETERMAND WE WILL WIN THIS TIME !!!

Well good luck Dodger - thats an awful lot of cash to save in a year and will be a good incentive to stop - not to mention the health benefits!

 

Thanks for the info on Zyban, a family member was talking about that and he said there weren't any side effects... i will tell him to read up on that!
