    • 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 sorry you are having a bad day.

1stC will be dealt with by 42man and everyone. I don't know anything about council tax so I can't offer any advice, just my support.

How is your oh, is he any better? When are you going to see your boys again? I haven't checked for a while, any progress on the car? You are due some good fortune, so lets hope it comes with good news next week.

Take care, C

It depends on how much I earn, my income varies greatly, this month they only took 30.00 plus 1.00 admin fee and about the same the month before, but they have taken around 125.00 3 months ago..:sad:

 

That's disgusting :shock:

 

Are they extracting the urine or what :shock:

Hi, I was going to say to you that despite everything you had 4 great children etc etc but didn't want to sound too flippant!

I'm glad you 're feeling a bit better, the sun usually makes people (well me) happier!

I'm watching your battle with 1stC with great interest as they led me to CAG but are a bit quiet at present;)

Hope you have a lovely family weekend and no doubt will do lots of cooking and baking:eek: My lot are always hungry and at present I'm baking nearly every day. They are desperate for Welsh cakes, but they take so long to make and so little time to eat.............

Well, I didnt realise what a brave and plucky person you are BB ... good on you for standing up to these lowlifes... Ive had a quick scan through your other threads, only a couple though, Id be here all week otherwise lol... I feel so guilty whinging on here about my problems.. most of them financial, when you have to deal with your disability every day... I take my hat off to you, you always seem so cheerful and willing to support other people in trouble, youre a star:wink:

Hi you are right about BB she has been v helpful to lots of us and has fought some major battles.

I've been battling for about 7 years but only found CAG last year. I have made so many mistakes, if only.....

At present I seem to be lucky and have most companies quiet but I' m waiting for all hell, fire and damnation!

Welsh cakes are divine, I have an old family recipe from about 1900 which my sons all love, I may have to stop being a bad parent soon and make some more.

Nos da and have a lovely family weekend.

PS I've failed again and have not won the Euro lottery:(

Reorete, so sorry to hear of your troubles... I know a lot of people say they are skint but only mean they havent got money for luxuries, nights out etc... but to be really skint is not having enough money on the gas/electric meter (I havent bought gas for 2 months) or like yourself not having enough money for food, Im constantly worrying that I have enough petrol to go to work, very often going on a flashing petrol light and praying Ill get home before I run out....

I broke my heart yesterday, my 9 year old son was playing in our street and another (much older boy) started to throw stones at him, my son told him he was going to tell his dad and the boy shouted and swore at him and said he was poor.... It took all I had not to show my son that this upset me... but it really did...I just thought is this how we look to other people or was the boy just being a little sh**... My OH told me I was being over sensitive and our kids and home are always clean but it really got to me...

To be without heating and food is disgusting in this day but it does go on... I hope things will improve for you love, I really do

Take care;)

hey nwj. my dad died when I was 9, no social security hand outs in those days, we had no electric or gas and barely enough food. My school uniform had to last me 4 years. I got told off by the teachers for being so scruffy.

 

I now have a large detached house which is paid for and imaculate, your son may do as I did and "show them" dont worry about him kids are tougher than you think.

 

As for Welsh cakes, never had them but I had a Welsh broth when I was on holiday last year, I think it was called crewel or cruel it was yumptious
