    • 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.

Brighthouse, the worst company I have EVER work for! The amount of pictures on my phone from the items I had to deliver is beyond belief! I could write a book with horror stories from the state stockrooms, the stock itself was in. Not to mention the way staff were treated, not being paid correctly, not be paid the overtime that's be earnt. So to all customers, if your delivery drivers are not in a good mood on the 15th of each month, that's pay day! Not a happy day!

Glad to be free from there! I would never recommend ****ehouse to any of my friends or family!

just wondering if any Brighthouse staff or ex staff can answer whether customers attempted to use Brighthouse Price Promise?

 

i attempted this, on behalf of a friend. current law says that if a retailer offers a price promise and the retailer sells their own brand products, then that price promise should apply to other traders equivalent goods

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?371931-Brighthouse-Price-Promise

 

can anyone tell me whether customers applied for this price match and what happened after they applied?

i know this is a really long ago comment but im desperate to know how you did this? my partner had items with BH before we got together and stupidly i put them in my name to reduce the weekly payments (does this mean Ive signed a NEW agreement or just a REWRITE?) and were currently 3 weeks behind with 48 phonecalls so far. Im refusing to pay them until ive read some more info on here and know what im actually talking about because we have service cover and the DLC on 3 out of 4 items and they were completely mis-sold to him. surely if i can reclaim this money back it can come off the amount we owe in total? help!

HI, i am trying to get a copy of my original agreement, which was in joint names, but was rewritten 3 years ago to be solely in my name. I am now being told by the head office that they are unable to get a copy, due to the fact that the store send paperwork to be shredded after it has finished for 5 years..... As the agreement was only transferred into my sole name 3 years ago, and i only finished actually paying for ite item 2 years ago, surely they should still have a copy of the original agreement... They have sent me a copy of the rewritten agreement showing that the payments were 10 pounds per week. I was paying 18, and they have just told me that the remainder was for the DLC and OSC, we never wanted these items, when we originally took out the agreement, we gave them a copy of our household insurance, and to be honest as we told them we didn't want either of the additional charges, we never checked the paperwork when we got home... Is there anything i can do now about these charges, as i seem to have paid an additional 1200 in DLC and OSC, and want them refunded to me.. I have even thought of sending am email to the CEO, but i doubt very much that he would do anything about it ... thanks for your help ..

Hi, I too have a similar problem. I have also payed over £1000 to these policies without knowing. No discussion took place about them and I was basically told which boxes to sign. I did however take in a copy of my house insurance before the goods could be received, the copy of which has been conveniently lost. My policy is still ongoing and I want the additional money paid back into my account. Did you have any success?
