    • 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.

Hi Folks,

 

I need some advice,i have rent arrears back in July of £717.00, i was issued a notice of possesion(not sure if this is the right term).I contacted the my housing asscociation and arranged to pay full rent and my hosuing benefit to be used to take off the arrears. However, I have missed a few payments and received a email from my housing officer demanding to catch up with the fallen payments.I had missed a three payments in total one in September,one in October and One November.I immediately sent paid off one payment which left me with £23.33 to feed my kids for the week.

 

I sent a email explaining i was very sorry but my finances are strained and i am trying the very best i can. My rent statement now shows i owe £425.So my arrears have come down.It will have another £94.84 on the 20/12/07.Therefore i will be £325 in arrears.I explained that payments were now coming from my husbands account each week so i will not miss anymore payments.I also said that by March/April next year my account will be in the black.

 

Please can anyone offer some advice? Can they evict me on those grounds even though i have tried very hard to pay off my arrears? I am really worried that i could lose my home that have lived in for twleve years.

Thanks Ed999,

 

I have had aread through and i have spoken with Hyde which they were really helpful and said they have no intention for it to be taken court at the moment and as long as we continue to pay off the arrears it will be cleared by March next year.

 

Thanks again.
