    • 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.

Not binding but persuasive certainly. And it is the first case as far as I am aware that a PPC turned up to a properly defended case. In the past they ran a mile when confronted with a decent defence, despite what CPS would have you believe. The fact that they lost when faced with a decent defence says it all really.

CPS identified him on their website. Not something I am prepared to repeat here as I have no wish to promulgate what looks to me like things the Information Commissioners Office will be interested in. Really seems to me that CPS have 'lost it big time'. Anyone know who runs this 'business' ?

 

From previous posts it appears to be a character called Mike Perkins who runs a cafe, presumably when he is not handing out tickets. Appears to be known as "perky" and seems to be well known here for claiming victories when the defendant fails to turn up.I agree the internet posting on the CPS website is bizarre - an accuastion of dishonesty like this is not something a rational person would make without very convincing evidence. I also hope for "perky's" sake that is not the chaps real name. If it is then I think perky would be sensible to get a good defamation lawyer sharpish.

On the contrary the de brunner case was woefully argued. It was not a defence at all. There are at least five vital points which were not put to the judge. The same is true of the other cases. A proper defence will in my experience always see off these [problematic]. Perky's summation of the legal issues is a joke but then he is an rank amateur lawyer (and a very bad one) of the type he despises.But as perky and his cronies regularly scan these pages I would not advise you to discuss detailed legal issues or any other specific aspect of your case further here.

Looks like Perky is not the only one with something to hide! :rolleyes:

 

You're right but not in the way you expect. This poster susancole or someone purporting to be "her" has just posted on Pepipoo a bizarre message and has been outed there as a PPC troll. Didn't know the PPCs had this level of subtlety in them. Usually all they are able to do is sign up under some stupid name like Justin Piddlepot and make pointless popsts telling people to pay up.Regards me and Perky I know of him. Who doesn't? You only need to read the historic postings made by him and his skivvies like "interesting" if you fancy a good laugh.

I am convinced perky comes here all the time, along with his associates. This susan character has just posted about some bogus upcoming case on Pepipoo on some ridiculous pretext involving a journalist and alleging pepipoo members had been involved. It is laughable that onyone would think that such a post would be taken seriously. The thread has been closed there. This is the second time this susan character posted on pepipoo. The first was to attack a member who has been attacked by perky, even to the extent of putting the person's photo on his website. IP addresses can easily identify the PPC trolls, as they don't appear to have the wit to avoid leaving tracks. Free speech is all very well but when you have been banned for threatening another member, which I gather is the case here, why should you be allowed back? And if all the PPC trolls have to offer is signing up in ridiculous names and saying "pay up" and other such comments which add nothing to the debate then they cannot surely expect anyone to take them seriously.

I saw that post on pepipoo, i have looked up oldham county court but as with the lower courts in Scotland the cases are not showing anywhere.

I have found a site called courtserve that claims to list county court cases but you need to be a member, surely someone on here is and they can check ?

 

I must say that you're taking a very keen interest in a fantasy case involving a PPC (wouldn't be involving Perky's outfit by any chance) for someone who claims to be from Scotland and have no axe to grind. It is almost as if you and others like "susan" are trying to get some information out. Seems that way to me anyway. I hope you can understand the suspicion with the level of PPC trolling that has gone on in the past few months. Most resaonable people will be able to spot an "agenda" a long way off.

That's what I read in one of the threads anyway, I have no idea of whether it is true or not. I guess only perky and the mods know what went on when he was banned. From old threads it appears that the original "perky" is Mike Perkins of Combined Parking Solutions.

I would agree that the term "perky" has widened to cover PPCs who seem overly confident of their legal position and who post undefended or poorly defended judgements as some sort of landmark decision in favour of PPCs. No doubt "perky" in one of his no doubt many guises will be back on soon to tell us of another landmark victory and we will all listen with deaf ears. To be honest it would do "perky" and the other PPC posters no harm if they debated the position reasonably and without the strident tone and false confidence that they often show. Then others might listen and be prepared to engage in the debate.

it looks like perky (under his id) has not posted for months .. Well I got to page 22 on here and stopped looking, so absent other evidence he has not.

 

Which part of "he was banned" are you having a problem with?In the new spirit of openness, can I ask you to tell us what your angle is? All your posts so far are pro-PPC. You discuss a case in another thread which is discussed in Perky's website, using more or less the same arguments. Tell us why this area has such fascination for you and no doubt people will be less suspicious as to your motives.

Right enough I cannot see any DPA listing for CPS, checked against trading name and postcode. I find it hard to believe that perky would be dumb enough to operate without such a registration. It does appear that more checks with the ICO and/or DVLA will be necessary to confirm one way or the other.

Funny that, "scottish" mark how you found Perky's DP registration within 2 seconds. Add that to your continuing attempts to publicise some unimportant Oldham case which are now becoming laughable (I'd now wager my life it involves CPS - let's see if that pans out when you or "perky" post back - no doubt following another great victory in the annals of PPC cases) and your lack of condemnation of the personal attacks on Perky's website makes me think you are indeed in the "Wolverhampton" part of Scotland.
