    • 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.

No, we have no way of knowing that. This is why there are several CAG meets over the country, people choose a place near to them (normally:p ), or easy to get to and interested parties join in, and arrange venues etc.

 

Yes there is a way of knowing that.

 

If we assume that members are proportional to the UK demographics, which is a logical approach, then Birmingham (or near that region) is nearest for the majority.

2 very different things, I believe.

 

Assumption is the mother of all f***-ups, as I've heard said many a time. ;)

I wonder if it's poss at this stage to meet say 5th July. I've had my head down with statements and a Court Hearing and just re surfacing. Just come back on site and seen Tilly's thread. Are you far from St Albans Tilly? Anyway, 5th July a thought but not written in stone. It would be great to meet when it fits in with everyone.

 

Love to all

I would like to propose another date due to lots of things bombarding me at the moment. This is why I haven't been on thread over the last month as I would have liked. I hope to get ann leave this week and later on in month to chill. I decided to tackle a lot this year but it does catch up. I feel more comfortable saying the last Sat of the Month. Gives me time to get a replacement head.

U will have to give ME at least 14days notice of a NEW date determindator...:(

Perhaps U could suss out details of possible venues etc, so that other peeps who may be interested in attending, can mull them over + a consensus that suits the majority can be found??...:confused:

...:)

Just as well, on July 5th, the BW family will be enjoying the free hospitality of Southern's annual party somewhere south I can't quite remember... Plumstead last year, something Heath this year... Hayward's, maybe? NOT Hampstead, I know that!

 

Anyway, summer weekends' dance card filling up fast, so make up your collective minds, please, and advise soonest. ;-)

I believe it may be my only hope to force a certain flaxen-headed gentleman* to comply with his contractual undertaking re the purchase of large quantities of alcoholic beverages for me. :-D

If you're talking about a certain flaxen* haired gentleman* that I'm thinking of I wouldn't bother if I were you. You've met him twice, but have you actually seen him put his hand in his pocket? Well you may have seen him put his hand in there, but take money out. Pfffft!

Owes me money for (at least!!!!):

 

1. Voddie

2. Grub

3. Share of taxi fare from venue to Bill's ...

 

... need I say more? would it be politic to assert his credentials as a 'Class A Scrounger'? :eek:

 

I think this would be an appropriate juncture to assert 'Let the buyer beware' ...

Oh dear Paintball. Good thing I'm a tight wad too so I won't get caught. Every time I see Bookie she seems to provide booze, grub and taxi service, not to mention accommodation for me and DD on one occasion. Maybe I should have kept quiet.:o

Bookie is kind and generous to a fault (I recall her yummy chocolate pots!), and I always shell out without thinking, sometimes to my detriment :rolleyes:

 

Won't stop me though hun, I'll be the first at the bar to buy your drinkie ... G & T or Pimms darling?

 

:D:D:D
