    • 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.

Hello, here goes.

 

July last year we purchased a Panasonic 3d TV from comet

and also paid for an extended 5 year warranty.

 

2/3 month after having bought it it broke down

 

was taken in for repair (took about a month).

 

Since then it has broken down 3 more times.

 

twice after a power cut and once when I was decorating and moved the telly to decorate behind it.

 

The TV has no power once its either unplugged or theres been a power cut

and will take anything from 2 to 4 days to turn back on,

which I have never known to happen with any other tv that own or have had in the past.

 

As the tv is now almost 16 month old

 

I contacted the warranty people to be advised that I wont be covered as it was a power shortage .

 

I explained this isn't the first time it's happened as my notes should say about last time with the decorating,

and that it is not normal for a tv to take a couple of days to turn back on.

 

I was advised that they would do me a partial refund on my warranty.

Which is all well and good but how do i stand on the fact that it cost 450 for a tv that wont turn on after 16 month.

 

Any advice I would be grateful to receive.

Very easy, stand your ground, you will ONLY accept a "brand new replacement" OR a "FULL refund".

 

Comet are very good at ignoring customers and their rights.

 

Have a read of SOGA http://sogahub.tradingstandards.gov.uk/sogaexplained

Anything that fails or requires to be repaired within 6 months of purpose is deemed to be faulty from date of purchase.

 

A new TV or a FULL refund is the ONLY thing you should accept.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

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

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Given Comet ceased trading a year or so ago, you have presumably contacted The Warranty Group who provided Comet's extended warranties, and stated they would continue to honour them?

 

More info in this thread, although you may end up having to contact Panasonic UK

lynski3053, I have the same problem as yourself and have now contacted the warranty group to fix the tv.

 

They are sending a repairman around to fix it - so wanted to know what happened in your case please. Did you get a new tv or did they repair your existing set?

 

Is it now working without the restart issue following their fix?

 

Thanks
