    • 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.

It'll be funny when some cretin from this board has their backside caned in court by CPS

 

My first reaction was to say "Don't hold your breath waiting for that Clifford" but now I am having second thoughts....

 

I am sure the board would relish the oppportunity to take on CPS in court. It won't happen though as a board defense will be a proper defense and CPS will not issue real papers in the face of that prospect. If they were mad enough to do so then once they received the defense papers that would be the end of it and they would not turn up. as per usual with PPCs and a proper defense.

 

I write not for you Clifford but for the general readers here. Which PPC(s) are you ? give us a list of your car parks and we can cause a case to happen if you want... (yeah like thats going to happen).

can't easily find a client list on their website. I am sure there will victims on here though - especially with their 85 percent success rate (unaudited of course...).

have a look on their website. The illustrated example 'yellow envelope' looks well worth collecting as the start of your own evidence bundle.

 

By the way is this their real address ?

 

4-5 KING STREET

WOLVERHAMPTON

WV1 1ST

I have been doing some digging and I came across a thread on here that is from early in year and a member stethomas seemed to have a ticket by CPS and from reading a user called legaladviser looks to have gotten involved.

This looks like it went to court but not been updated for ages, I see legaladviser does not post anymore nor does the poster but I see a legaladviser on pepipoo, anyone know if its the same person ?

 

 

only he/she would know I guess. why not ask them directly rather that ask for 'opinions from the web'..

It is not an offence of anything nor is authorisation relevant.

 

(except the case of offence being used in the sense of causing anger/annoyance - for the PPC !!)

 

The envelope is mimicing official council tickets - especially with the police style chequered border.

There is legislation about that.

 

We really must find a CPS monitored car park....it looks like the rest of the paperwork/papertrail will follow suit. and if he relies on that legal opinion he publishes on his website then much fun can be had.

But he wouldn't turn up despite his bravado and front.

In reply to lamma's post, the premises in King Street is Madame Clarke's Coffee House. Their website ( Cafe, Coffee Bar & Sandwich Shop - Madame Clarke's, Wolverhampton ) shows Michael Perkins to be one of the owners.

 

There is a CPS car park to the rear of the premises in Wheeler's Fold, off Princess Street.

 

I live in Wolverhampton and I will try to locate other CPS car parks.

 

Regards,

You wonderful person. Thanks - and keep looking !

Let the games begin folks ! Of course we will keep them off this board - we wouldn't want Perky knowing which invoices were likely to bite him in the ass now would we ?

Drivers with proper 'other driver' cover would be best.....

parking in a signed car park which invites parking is not trespass.

trespass is not a criminal act.

 

far from playing into the PPCs hands - diametrically opposite it fact.

 

All the action is off-board so the posts are useless to CPS. CPS just won't know which car parks, which vehicles, how many invoices are involved or how many vehicles will have been be parked by other than the Registered Keeper - Something they don't know about the invoices they send out anyway. But still they send them.

 

they just will not able to estimate their risk as well they normally do... But wait a minute, the CPS website is very sure that it is onto a winner with all that legal 'reasoning' and those 'judgements'. According to CPS it doesn't matter what we do as CPS will always prevail.

 

what fun the future holds
