    • 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.

You'll get a lot of conflicting advice some of which if followed could be disastrous.

 

As this matter is somewhat complicated & whilst I'm a great supporter of this site I strongly suggest your friend instructs a suitable family solicitor

Whilst I understand that for her it's a very emotional subject she letting her heart rule her head.

 

From what you say the guy obviously thinks her money is his money & the sooner she takes steps to deal with that the better otherwise there's little she can or will do

 

Also her solicitor won't be happy that she's asking for advice here particularly if his advice conflicts with that given here.

 

She has to put her thinking head on otherwise there's absolutely no point in giving any advice which if given & which you have already indicated she ignores anyway

Lula the point is it appears, according to the posts, she already is speaking to a solicitor but I read it that she's looking for some magic bullet which she hopes will resolve matters without causing any grief which unsurprisingly her solicitor cannot

You instruct a solicitor & you trust them to deal with matters you don't seek 2nd opinions from none professionals who if they are wrong you can't sue particularly when matters are so complicated.

 

It's one thing to check that the advice that is being given is correct but coming here without advising what that advice is is a waste of time

spot on Caro She needs to get rid of this guy father of her kids or not. I could give advice but I think she needs to sit down with a suitably qualified family solicitor to sort what is a situation made more complicated by her emotional state

 

My advice would be, in order to help her overcome her greiving, to redirect her energies to sorting out the situation with this guy

Just digressing for a moment

How many of you know, that even after marital assets have been divided, and the wife/husband has kept the marital home, that there is nothing to stop the other ex-partner coming back in say 5, 10 or even 20 years time and successfully suing the one with the home for half of the difference in value from the date of the decree absolute to the time of the writ?

I had a very spiteful ex wife who tried everything to get me to sell the house, even though the kids stayed with me and didnt want to be anywhere near her. Luckily, I had a very astute solicitor who took a personal dislike to her after she sent him a few threatening letters too ( best thing she did for me).

After a year of her kicking and screaming, and thanks to my solicitor and my kids staying with me, she had to walk away with next to nothing.

But out of all this, and through my solicitor, I discovered the "Clean Break Order" - stamped by the court at the time of divorce once signed by both parties.

This is the only remedy a divorcee has to stop a bitter ex coming back in the future and hitting you once more!

 

And how did I get a woman like this to sign the Order? Now that really is another story, but the old saying applies - Give someone enough rope...............

 

Your ex partner didn't come back for more if at your divorce it was agreed that she had 50%. If so any increase in value until sold 50% was hers by agreement
