    • 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 purchased a £1500 42inch plasma telly from comet in 2005 and went for the extended total product cover warranty for 5 years. This runs out next year.

 

Now my problem... I have had to move back to my dads house for financial reasons. I have stored my plasma in the spare bedroom on the floor. While I was adding more of my things into the room the screen was accidently damaged. I havent checked to see if it still works but i do know once a plasma screen is cracked or smashed its had it. Another thing, my insurance certificate is still regisitered to my old address.

 

I'm worried that im not going to be covered since the telly was damaged at a different address as whats on my insurance certificate.

 

Another thing.. if say that I am covered, has anyone idea if I will be allowed to choose a new tv of my choice within my original purchase price or will they try and fob me off with a cheaper make and model?

 

Please help

 

Craig.

I don't know about the being damaged at a different address but surely they would only know this if you told them - perhaps be economical with the truth. I also believe it should be a like for like swap but you never know with these retail giants

free of charge.

 

yes we did as such but as the one they recommended was perfect it made no odds to me.

 

as for the place it was damaged, it makes no diff, its you that has the policy on the TV, not where you & it is.

you insured your tv againts XYZ.

the policy will not state a residing AD for the product.

you took out the policy on the TV, no matter where it is damaged.

bit like a car really, oh we'll only payout if its damaged on your drive?

Well I have just got my Plasma screen back today from Comet it had a smashed screen and they actually fixed it much to my suprise as I thought it was not possible. I also bought it in May 2005, how did you even get them to give you a new replacement one as I didn't even get that option they said they had to fix it.
