    • 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.

UK, I've just flagged this thread up on a couple of other debt-related CAG forums. Given the news that Lord Taylor allegedly took money from Experian to influence legislation, I think you may get a few more hits and hopefully the fund (and legal expertise and support) will grow.

Do you think the legislation that waa allegedly 'postponed' by the alleged donation was in relation to another story just appearing on here about the statute barred level being considerd to be changed to 3 years...might that have an affect on how long CRA's can hold onto info? I mea,n, if you then wouldn't be allowed to be hounded for debts after 3 years, surely that would make them recnsider the 6 years that CRAs hold onto info - espeically as that appears to be an arbitrary number pulled out of thin air?

why do experian have the right to keep data on peopl in the first place?

because they brought and paid for a license to do so.

If you set up a company, paid all the fee's for licensing etc,you could do exactly the same.

Good morning UK 26, found your thread about 2 hours ago and I'm still awake at 1.30am and it's all your fault (drips butter from toasted bagel all over his keyboard). Good luck with this but do not forget to keep your back covered. I'll PM you and get a postal order off to you on Monday.[/font]
