    • 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.

This is driving me mad, why do passports have to be so hard work, why can't I just choose my window cleaner, why are things so difficult :(

 

Absolutely. We should make it that anyone can vouch for you, with no regulation or accountability.

 

Make it easy. That way anyone who wants to open bank accounts with a false name or defraud people can do so even more easily.

Sheesh!

 

Mind you, if your window cleaner has known you more than 2 years, and is a director of their own limited company : sorted, even within the current regulations ......

Update: Yesterday, one of my teachers contacted me on Facebook as I posted in a group asking if anyone knows who can sign my passport and she sent me a message saying she can sign it when she get's back from her holiday on September 9th, so that's my holiday to Benidorm sorted haha! Can't wait... :)

Need more advice please,

I have now filled in my passport application form what I got from the post office and also my friend who is an health nurse has filled in her bit where she has to put her details and sign and also sign my picture.

 

Now, where we put the date on the last page on section 9 and 10, we put the 14.09.2018 but I am not going to post it at the post office until a day later on the 15.09.2018 as I am in work on 14.09.2018 - will this be an issue?

will my application get rejected if I send it on the date that I haven't put on the form?

the same with the picture as well as my friend put the 14.09.2018.

 

Can someone please let me know as I am worried I will have to fill out the form again if I done it wrong, thank you.

Hi CT.

 

 

Are you serious about a day's difference in the date? I'd be amazed if it's a problem.

 

 

Have you checked the Passport Office list to see if your health nurse friend can countersign the form and photo? I thought your ex-teacher was doing it.

Hi, I was just a bit worried that the date might be an issue? my neighbour is doing it now, and yes, she is on the list of the countersign on GOV website as she is a nurse like I stated.

OK she's a nurse but the Passport Office website states she need to have one of two qualifications, have you checked that?

 

 

HB

 

Yes I have Honeybee13 - I contacted her on Whatsapp and she told me this: Qualified healthcare assistant with Level 3 diploma in health and social care. Not sure if she has one of them qualifications what stated on the Passport Office as she didn't say, but will this do that she has Level 3 in diploma? or will it get rejected if she signs for it?

She is not on that list.

25 days in (since the OP said they were using “Check & send” at the Post office).

 

List of persons able to sign clearly states “RGN or RMN” yet the OP is asking about a health care assistant.

OP is either on a wind-up mission, or needs to get someone to “hand hold” them through the process IRL

I have rang Passport Office and two advisers said that my friend who works in Health Care who has a Level 3 diploma in health and social care can sign the passport form and picture, so everything is good! So, the person who said she is not on the list, you are wrong!

I hope they're right at the Passport Office, channing, because that isn't how their list reads to me.

That's true Honeybee13 but I think they are right as they work at the office so they should know, 2 different advisers said it's ok so it must be lol.

Level 3 in nursing isn’t a RGN or RMN.

It may be that the Passport Office will accept it, but:

a) that isn’t what their own guideline says (you’ve been provided with the URL to look for yourself!), and

b) you are taking a risk that they might not accept it despite what the advisers said.

You did get their names and record the calls, didn’t you?

Update: Yesterday I went to the Post Office to post my Passport application and I used the check and send service, the lady who served me looked through my form and she said everything is ok with the form and I got my former teacher (who she now has now retired) to sign for it and the lady said it will take six weeks to get an update on my interview to continue my passport application. So all good! :)

Update: Passport office has booked my interview for Tuesday 25 September at 12.15pm - I am just wondering what's the dress code for these interviews? could I come in my jeans and t-shirt slogan (Nobody Knows I'm Gay) or do they not allow slogan t-shirts into the building?

Just wear a normal shirt and trousers. No need to try and make some sort of a statement.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Just wondering, what sort of questions will I be asked at the interview? I am just worried in case I get the answer wrong and I get my passport declined, feeling nervous now lol.

 

I fyou get the answer wrong, then you shouldnt have one. They just ask for name, address, employment, they pick some random amounts from your bank statement and ask about them ( yes they have access to them), and a couple other questions just to verify your identity.

 

Youre worrying way too much over all this. its just a passport. Youll be in and out of the office in less than 20 mins.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..
