    • 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.

Got my Blah Blah letter from the First trust yesterday acknowledging receipt of my preliminary request.

 

As with everyone else they are trying to set a timetable of action.

 

They must have thought I came up the river Bann in a bubble.

 

LBA will be delivered on Friday 14th July regardless of what First Trust thinks

 

Keep you informed

first trust are not being very consistent with their responses to everyone. they are giving 1 person 1 response and someone else something totally different. this would lead me to believe that we are probably among the first to challenge their regime of charges and they so far have not standardized the way in which they deal with us.

they do not know how to deal with us

 

 

it is a possibility that they will mount a challenge to 1 of the cases coming up to test the ground, risky,

As I always sign my letters with LLb at the end, they might probably challenge my own case to try to teach others a lesson....

 

LOOK FORWARD TO IT FIRST TRUST>>>>>

 

 

BRING IT ON

UPDATE

25 July 2006

11:42 am

Phoned First Trust Bank (Belfast) Customer Care Unit and Spoke to Mariead Gourley, asked if The bank was prepared to abide by the OFT Ruling of 6 April 2006 and reimburse my account before 28 July 2006, as per my LBA Letter of the 14th.

I was informed by Ms Gourley that the First Trust Bank adheres to the FSA code of conduct and that nothing would be considered while my complaint was under investigation.

I explained that as I was the party threatening legal action, I should be the one who dictated any timetable of action.

I was told I could do what I liked.

 

 

LET THE FUN BEGIN
