    • 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.

Swift Group name belongs to another company

 

This is the real Swift Group website

 

http://www.swiftleisure.co.uk/swift-group

 

That's Swift Group Limited.....Swift Group is used by Arcadia House residents..Precision is what makes this fun! If you are going to make legal complaints you need to be spot-on perfect which we are beginning to get the hang of quite well now... Maybe they'll all be living in caravans soon eh?

If anyone looks on here because they're thinking about taking out a mortgage with Swift, think about this. After all the trouble i have had (all of us on this forum have had) and trying to work out what this charge is for and that charge is for, i've just taken a step back and looked at the top line and bottom lines alone.

 

The top line is this. We borrowed £215,000 in October 2007

The bottom line is this. When our house was repossessed and the debt settled in July 2010 we had paid back £311,000.

Thats £96,000 in interest and charges in less than 3 years.

 

And for most of that time Bank Of England interest rates have been at 0.5%

 

Dont do it.

Swift seem to think that everything they do is ' relevant' and everything we ask is 'irrelevant' I wonder how they feeling right at this minute? They must be stretched for staff in their accounts department too, haven't filed their accounts yet - naughty boys and girls. maybe they told Companies House they're ' irrelevant ' too

Following on from my other letter from Eastern Counselling ' Department' take a look at this one which is an earlier attempt to cash-in on fees. Note the first line of this letter " Swift Advances plc have instructed us...............???? Instructed us??......WT*? They tell me they have issued a Default Notice, which they had under 'Swift Advances' but this was an unregulated loan....mmm why the DN then?

 

On the other hand I should be grateful they were offering to help me shouldn't I? - I'm such an ungrateful, selfish bitch...:|

its just so they dont build up their hopes too much ,we all know from past experiances that the OFT are not to be relied upon and the average desicion can take almost forever

so i try not build up the hopes on them acting in favour ,i have complaints with them and its been longer than two years ,so i would sugest another tactic , the swifties have had their wrists slapped by the looks of things but no serious actions have been taken concerning swift ,that is unless the oft have been instructed to await the new FSA investigation into swift..so the FSA is the one for this complaint and all swift complaints , but saying that we know that the FSa cannot comment on individual complaints , hence complaints made through the which consumer mag and the citizens advice to enable a class action complaint only then will the FSA jointly with OFT will they be forced to act , personally i have no faith in the OFT

..and that in a nutshell is what Cag is all about Partick and long may it be so....just a personal opinion, but coming from the heart...we are all in this together to find the end game and so we shall! Swift won't know what's hit them one of these days, we've just been tickling them to date :lol:

 

.and look..no guests !! - they must all be in the accounts department trying to get their figures fixed for their very late year end accounts :-)
