    • 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.

Dear All,

 

Following with reference to Regulations 2003,2005 and 2006 I believe I have a case to pursue to obtain my ILR which I was denied in June 2010 due to poor Representations and also I had no clue of any immigration laws and Regulations at that time only relied of my rep.

 

The real issue is we were given Leave to Remain in 12 March 2015 base on Article 8 through my 14 years old daughter ( 7 years Rule Concession) who came to join me with her mother in September 2003 after a long legal battle Represented by a reputable firm.

We won the case (Leave to Remain) at the First Tier Tribunal on 29 June 2014 but Home Office decided to appeal so the case was in Upper Tribunal this year after two sittings which did not yield any results and was adjourned on 27 Feb 2015 for further notice after I raised the issue that I had an outstanding application with the Home Office that was not dealt with.

Whiles we are waiting the Home Office performed a U-turn and issued us with the Leave to Remain to be renewed 4 times on 2 and half years bases after which we can apply for ILR.

 

Please Note:

About the outstanding application which I think HO did not deal with it. if I am wrong please advice:

 

1. My last leave to Remain as a Student was expiring in 30 June 2010. so I applied for ILR alone on 10 June 2010 using SET(O) paid the required fees of £840 and acknowledge letter received from HO.

2. On 29 June 2010 I applied for Leave to Remain for my self and 3 dependants (wife and 2 daughters now 14 and 5 years respectively). Also, paid required separate fees of £751 and acknowledge letter received from HO.

3. on 26 July HO refused my ILR based on gap in residency in 2005, 2006 and 2009 due to payment issues.

4. Only 2009 that had 2 problems: one is payment and two is 4 days overstayed according to HO.

5. In 2009 my Student visa expired on 23 January 2009 so I submitted my application with College enrolment letter dated 22/01/2009 and the Cheque for payment also dated 22/01/2009 and posted the application to HO on that same day 22/01/2009 but HO claimed to receive my application on 27/01/2009. unfortunately, I could not and cannot find the proof of postage, but as for the payment HO claimed I paid with Credit/debit Card which was not true. I paid with cheque and I made photocopy of that application and the Cheque and I still have them.

6. On 16 August 2010 a lady called from HO to enquire about the second application (29 June 2010) and I said to her is for Leave to Remain/Discretionary Leave to Remain. She then ask me if I would appeal against the ILR refusal? I said to her I have given the refusal letter to my Solicitor. So she ask me to find out and that she would call again next day. I contacted my solicitor who said the appeal is done because the deadline was 10/08/2010. But the HO lady did not call again.

 

At the moment, although HO had issued us with Leave to Remain but case is still in Upper Tribunal and the Tribunal want to know if there is any case that I want to pursue because the Tribunal is aware of HO U-turn.

 

1. My question is can I raise my ILR issue again?

2. Do I still have outstanding application?

3. Do I have a case of success in my ILR claim?

4. How do I go about this if I choose to pursue it?

 

Please your advice needed and thanks for reading this lengthy story.

 

God Bless you all.

UPDATE OF MY CASE AFTER UPPER TRIBUNAL HEARING

 

 

Hello Everyone,

 

I am writing to update everyone following my case and to listen to advice of next plan of action or if there are other options available to me as per my situation.

 

We had a hearing at Upper Tribunal as I have explained in my previous Thread above.

I represented myself by preparing the bundles with all the necessary supporting evidence to claim my ILR as per the Links to my post above.

 

1. The Home office Presenting Officer submitted that there was no application or immigration decision made in relation to ILR in these set of appeals that could lead to a re-opening of this issue (2010 refused application)

 

2. The Upper Tribunal Judge also concluded that because the Home Office have given us Leave to Remain (appendix FM and 276ADE) in between the hearing HO had taken away his powers and there was no case before him to judge. However, I can still make a fresh ILR application to the HO.

3. The HOPO also said the same thing that I can make a fresh ILR application.

 

However, when I asked both of them how soon can I make such an application, they both did not give me straight forward answer but they said I should consult a professional Solicitor.

 

So, friends I am here to seek advise from you all because I got all the best info from this forum.

 

1. Please what are my options now?

 

2. Can I do a fresh ILR application now or

 

3. I have to wait till end of my 2 and half years (September 2017) Leave to Remain then I can apply for ILR?

 

Please People help I am short of ideas !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks.

Think you will need to find a UK charity that deals with such immigration issues and to see what help they can provide. They may be able to put you in touch with legal experts that deal with the applications you are seeking to make.. My understanding is that this a complex area of law and you need someone that deals with it on a daily basis.

Hello citizenB,

 

Thanks for your reply and encouragement. Any help is highly appreciated.

 

You will need to sit down with an expert on immigration, so they can review your exact situation. They will want to see any documents that you have.

 

I very much doubt you will find someone on this site who is an expert on immigration and who is able to support you with your application.

 

In my last post, i posted a link to a UK government website, where it lists where you can find expert help. You should start to make a few phone calls to find the help you need.
