    • 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.

One of the problems the series has highlighted and even HCEO have said this needs to change.

 

Is when a tenant does not leave by date ordered by county court, LL have to go back to court and apply for a warrant county court bailiffs to remove a tenant.

 

County court bailiffs would give the tenant written notice they are coming around on such a date to take possession of the property, this could All take several months.

 

Not any more ...

 

Once LL have been granted a warrant, they can apply for HCEO to take possession and with in a matter of days tenants are evicted with in one hour of the HCEO turning up on doorstep :-x

 

HCEO should have to give some kind of notice to a tenant, at the moment they don't have to give notice they are coming to evict a tenant :-x

I have conflicting feelings over this.

 

I can see how a "bad tenant" can use the failings of a county court possession order to frustrate the wishes of the court and run rings around a "good landlord", even with masses of unpaid rent owed.

If the county court has issued the order and the tenant is ignoring it : why shouldn't the LL be able to escalate it to the High Court.

 

Yet, on the flip side, a "good tenant" can have come to the end of a tenancy, and be faced with homelessness, and be told by the council "you mustn't leave until actually evicted, or we won't rehouse you", so they ignore the county court's order, and then get no notice when the HCEO's arrive.

 

There must be a better way.

Could County Court orders not say "posession by X date, and may be escalated to the High Court 5 days after", while councils could be given the obligation to rehouse once X date has passed? (& not be creating the situation where they won't act until the person is literally turfed out into the street)

 

If there is a clearer picture of expectations / obligations, the LL can still be protected from the "bad tenant", while the HCEO's "swoop without warning, give an hour only" is reserved only for those who have chosen to open themselves up to it.

There will always be people who aren't able to find somewhere else to rent, and the safety net for them should be the council. Isn't the solution to make the council liable to act earlier rather than the 11th hour?

We all know how the HCEO's operate and how they define a vulnerability, with this in mind I would ask regular posters to watch one of the latest episodes of
