    • 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.

Hi BB - thanks for posting the link to this on my thread, it's really interesting.

 

What a shame it's only just become effective :rolleyes:

 

I wonder how many DCAs are aware of it?

I'm midway through the tunnel, but getting closer to the light.

I've just had a thought....

 

BCW did not comply with my CCA request last year. TS told them to provide an agreement or bog off.

 

BCW bogged off.

 

APEX (formerly BCW) are now asking me to call re the same account.

 

If i resend the CCA request, therefore restarting the process from the beginning and they do not comply.....

 

...me thinks they will now be liable under the new directive ;)

So what you do is send another CCA request to the DCA now. This of course means if they don't comply this time it will be post 26th May 2008 & all bets should be off

 

That's exactly the game i shall be playing with Apex and now Cabot.

 

Can't wait :p;)

Lets get this important thread back on track. So after 12 +2 working days and then 30 calendar days and no CCA from the DCA (if requested after 26th May) we should report the DCA to Trading Standards. The TS should prosecute the DCA with the new directive as quoted by BB (above). What about the OFT. Do we inform them as well? Is there a template letter for this? I feel this thread is very important going forward with the fight against non compliant DCA's. Hope you can clarify these points for me and future CAG's. Keep up the good work BB and many thanks.

 

Hi Strand :)

 

Whenever i make complaints i clearly state what my complaint is.

I bullet point the dates of letters sent / received. I then attach copies of all relevant info.

 

I then quote any relevant legislation or guidance eg the info BB has provided, OFT debt collection guidelines etc.

 

When making complaints, TS for example, like you to have exhausted the companies internal complaints procedure.

Quite agree with FG and BB, no matter how little success we have initially, we all must keep shouting.

 

This a link Paul put on one of my threads to contact councillors and MPs:

 

WriteToThem - Email or fax your Councillor, MP, MEP, MSP or Welsh, NI, London Assembly Member for free

Morning BB! Hope you're ok hun, Could you do me a favour and post me a link that takes you to the amended legislation just so i can post it on people's threads, please?

 

Lots of newbies still think it's 12+2 plus a calendar month. I used to post a link for this thread, but it's so long now!! Also, did anyone write an amended 'you haven't complied letter' as i know there was talk of something at some point during this thread. Sorry i've not kept up with it very well recently :eek:

Thank you both!

 

That helps. I always like to give links so that people can get to grips with stuff themselves and understand what they're doing and why.

 

As for the non compliance letter, i will be sending my own version to my / our old pals BCW, as surprisingly (not) they haven't complied with my request for a copy of the agreement relating to the account they have sent me a payment card for - te hee :p
