    • 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 do not feel able to sign such a petition. These will not be 'free' places, they will be paid for by funds raised by taxes.

 

The decision to breed should be an informed one, taking into account the financial and lifestyle restrictions imposed by small children, as well as the responsibility for caring for them.

Your point here is?

 

Are you trying to say that I didn't consider this before having children, because I find this offensive and you know absolutely nothing about my lifestyle homelife or anything else about me, also if you are insinuating that I don't choose to look after my child and would rather pass them over to someone else instead of looking after them myself then you are also sadly mistaken.

 

Situations arise and financial restraints also impact on peoples lives. Its all very well saying people should have thought about it before breeding LMAO how narrow minded is that.

 

The point is, I have a responsible job, I earn a fairly decent salary now, I have financial commitments, and I provide for my daughter. I do not own property and have to pay what I believe to be excessive rent, utilities, running a car which I need for work as have to comute 40 miles each day. My partner also works full time and my daughter always comes first with her also. We don't live extravengant lifestyles by any stretch of the imagination, however when all is paid we are left without much as the majority has gone on putting a roof over our heads £650 per month and childcare £480+ a month.

 

Whether or not an informed decision has been made the fact of the matter is that the price of childcare has rocketed over the years.

 

In an ideal world I would love to (as would my parter) stay at home and full time look after my child who incidently is 2 in June so this is not something I am doing for her/our benefit.

 

Things are not like this.

 

No offense meant in this post.

 

My post was deliberately couched in general terms. I'm not sure how you have managed to construe it as aimed at you and been offended by it.

 

Whilst I'm sure some people think carefully before having children, there are many who do not, and we all pay for the consequences.
