    • 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 Folks,

 

I have been reading alot of threads about HFO Services, and seeing as you lot really know your stuff, I was wandering if you could give me some advise please.

 

My estranged husband got a barcelycard in 2005, he lost his job shortly afterwards and could not pay the balance (£287). In late 2006 we seperated on good terms.

 

In March 2007, he was taken into hospital, and he asked me to keep an eye on the house, check the mail etc. A card arrived from First Direct Logistics, saying they tried to deliver a parcel, but there was no one in. I phoned the number on the card, and they said they would resend the parcel.

 

2 days later a letter arrived for him from HFO Services Ltd.

 

The same day they started phoning me on my mobile, asking to speak to him. I explained that we were seperated, and that his financial affairs were nothing to do with me. I refused to give them his phone number and told them I would pass their details onto him, and he would phone them if he wanted. They kept phoning back, so I told them I was going to report them to the police for harrassment. I phoned the police but they were not interested.

 

They are till trying to phone me from a several different numbers, including a mobile, but I no longer answer them.

 

I don't want to change my number as I am self employed and it is my main point of contact for my customers.

 

How do I get rid of these a***h***s!!:evil:

I suggest you go to the Police station and ask to speak to the Chief there and make it known your situation. Or write to them with this letter sent by recorded delivery.

But edit the letter to say that you are separated from your husband.

This in relation to their post cards posing as delivery companies. I had some correspondence with the OFT over this ongoing case. They couldn't tell me anything specific, 'but' I got the strong hint that this is progressing nicely. I was told that the name seemed very 'familiar' by the woman I spoke to :lol::lol::lol: and she told me to encourage others to keep complaining. I think I actually like the OFT. They 'seem' to do their job well from what I can make out. KEEP ON GETTING THE COMNPLAINTS IN.

What sort of world do you want your kids to grow up in?
