    • 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 received a Penalty letter of £100 from NHSBSA all because my dentist registration lady misled me into believing that I was entitled to free dental treatment.

 

I have gone through Stage 1 & 2 complaints procedure to no avail.

Now, they have said I can go on to the Ombudsman if I am still not happy.

 

My argument is

- I was told I was entitled to free dental because I showed the lady my NHS Medical Exemption Card and asked if being diabetic, was I entitled to free dental as well?

 

The lady said yes I was and asked me to sign the FP17FR form.

I signed but didn't tick any box of date it because I didn't see any relevant boxes that applied to be.

 

I thought she was the expert right?

I haven't been to a dentist in 10 years.

 

the next time I went was 9 months later,

the same thing happened

- I got the form to sign and I did

but once again,

I didn't tick or date the form.

 

A few weeks later, I got a shock in the post

- a penalty of £100 plus the dental charges of £56.30.

 

phoned up and asked them what it was about

- they told me I falsely claimed free dental.

 

said I had a Medex card

- they said that was not inclusive of free dental.

 

said the dental lady said I was entitled

- they said I signed the form and ticked the box and dated it.

 

I went back to the dentist and asked why they gave me the wrong info

- the owner told me I was responsible for signing the form

 

When I asked to see the forms, I saw that the first form I signed had no tick and no date

- but the second form someone in the dental surgery had actually ticked and dated the form - the handwriting was different.

 

Then to illustrate my point

- the owner and I both noticed that the first form was still unsigned and undated

- and it was submitted to NHS which had rejected the payment because of that so that was why the NHSBSA didn't/haven't penalised me for that "false claim" yet.

 

I asked for copies of the forms but the owner refused to give them to me

- she said she will only give it to NHS if they asked for them.

 

After my complaints to NHS, they spoke to the owner's husband (also an owner) and he said I was welcome to get copies of the forms.

 

I went to get them

- imagine my surprise when I saw that now, both forms had been ticked and dated -

 

obviously the first one by someone in the dental surgery and probably resubmitted to NHS for their claim. How devious is that?

 

After being told by me that I had been fined

- they didn't ask me to pay for the dental fees for the first treatment

- and instead preferred to tick and date the form and resubmit it to NHS!

 

So now, I am left wondering, if I agree to pay £100 penalty for the second form, will it be a matter of time before the first from gets flagged up and I get another penalty?

 

Has anyone gone on to the Ombudsman or even to court to fight their case?
