    • 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.

At the risk of being villified and although I personally applaud your actions, are you not actually acting illegally by making nuisance telephone calls??

 

I know that the DCA's do it and I fully understand it. But would a court ??

 

its just a note of caution - it would be so ironic (and typical of the justice system in this country) if you were to be successfully prosecuted for something that the DCA's get away with all the time.

 

See the point but it would be something to see, a DCA taking action for harrasment!!

That's a good point and it's crossed my mind too. But what the hell! As you say, DCA's do it. I've had 4 calls this week from Apex despite asking them twice to correspond only in writing.

 

Let us hope that if ever fuzzy gets hauled before a Judge for this, which is highly unlikely, then he/she will see it for what it is intended, i.e. the time-honoured British tradition of taking the p*ss out of people in "authority". If there's one thing we Brits do well it's that. If I were a Judge and he was found guilty, I would say "Guilty as charged, consider youself reprimanded and don't do it again, there's a good lad - by the way, could you please send me a copy of the recordings."

 

Regards.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

I'd be using the recordings as evidence. :D Just to see if the judge could keep a straight face while watching them.

I'm quite safe though. After all, nobody has tried to sue The Phonejacker, Spitting Image, and lots of other parody tv shows. The trick is, not to say anything personally nasty about someone that's not true. As long as what you do is obviously a parody and not to be taken seriously, then you should be quite safe.

Whenever I think of DCA's I always remember this one

YouTube - Life at a call center

Then I don't feel so bad....

 

:grin:

 

That's what I love about Youtube. Sometimes the related videos list turns up a real gem. That is one of them.

 

I need a life. Youtube tells me I have watched 2045 videos since February :eek:

Brilliant as per usual.

 

You will soon have the DCA monkeys who dont get fuzzybobbled complaining that they want the FB treatment.

 

I trust you have sent links to all their email addresses.

 

I'm quite happy to get them the FB treatment of a different kind and cock my leg up on them.

The awesome Judge Judy is now on the DCA's case :D

that would be a short Judge Judy episode!.... "Do you have any paperwork that states the defendant actually owes any money? NO? GET OUT OF MY COURT ROOM!!! CASE DISMISSED!!!"

I have to agree with Locutus & Judge Judy. Unless they can produce evidence/doucments in court, then you may as well be a DCA.

Case solved. $5000 to the claimant. :D

 

Been watching tons of Judge Judy for my next video. 1st Credit Promo vs Judge Judy. She is one of the most honest, decent, people I have ever seen. She's sees through scams, lies, and corperate fraud like no other.

 

I'm no fan of reaility tv, but seeing her being intervieved on and off camera. I will still say. Judge Judy and people like her should be in charge of the uk legal system. Parents vs deinquent kids/ bosses vs staff, etc. She believes in fair treatment unless records and attitude/evidence proves otherwise. Then you get what you deserve.

 

Decent peeps, let's unite and fuzzybobble the world and make it a good place to live. Not just now but for the future too. :D

 

Damn I sound like a cult type preacher. Only place I go wrong is not asking for money or material things. But I will never ask peeps for money to help them. Never have, never will.

 

To join the Fuzzybobble religion all I ask of you is to keep up the great work on CAG. Record calls and send them to me or Locutus if you want them publishing. Have a good life. If DCA's give you crap.

Then being on the CAG, you're halfway there. Lots of people with problems, willing to help others with problems. Reading this you're at least 50% a winner. In many cases you will win outright. Spend a bit of time here and you'll soon see why. :)

 

Who has a problem with that? (DCA staff PM me now lol) Then I will call you at the weekend. :p

Bit like this one..... :D

 

YouTube - Judge Judy: Nice Suit But No Proof

 

No paperwork, no debt.......

 

May be an American court, but it's the same here.

No paperwork, no debt.

 

The DCA's here rely on people being too afraid of you turning up. Most of the time they win because people don't turn up. If you don't turn up and defend, they win by default.

 

Don't ever do that or ignore the court papers thinking everything will be ok.

 

Take CAG advice and defend. Then if you win, then get a nice cheque of a few hundered quid costs.

 

Then the less profits DCA's gain, and less likely they will trry exploiting people who don't know their true rights.

Give the green blobs to Locutus.

I have 12 and cannot get anymore anyway.

 

Locutus has put tons of work at short notice into animating my DCA calls. he always delivers the goods within 24 hours and always top quality results.

 

If you dish out green blobs to anyone, give them to Locutus. He really deserves them.

 

When I see Locutus with 12 green blobs, then we go for season 2 of funny vids and DCA windups :D

It would seemzzfrom the Youtube comments that some illiterate no-name nothing did'nt appreciate Herr ObermeisterderKimema von FuzzyBobble zur und zee's offering- obviously a DCA drone with all human emotions clubbed out

 

I can only reiterate various comments made, record the Soeds telephone calls, or say you are recording them ( then write them down) the bulk of these vituperative threats are criminal and will, if presented with evidence,get Plod involved.
