    • 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.

Ah yes, stuffy hot rooms, people running all over the corridors all night, bin men at stupid o'clock. Losing your cases......

 

Wouldn't miss it for the world!!!! :p

 

Been looking for a decent place to stay.

 

Travelodge may be cheap, but last time I did something like that was a school trip to Dieppe. Never again.

 

 

I decided on this one.

 

Hotel Novotel Birmingham Centre: travel, stay or vacation, holiday at BIRMINGHAM

 

Sounds nice anyway. 4 Star, breakast buffet avaliable until 12 noon. (for peeps who like to stay out late and a lie in the next morning.

Wifi, 24 hour room service. TV.

Johnny, I'm shocked.... :eek::D

 

Seriously though, it was a nice place, and close to the pub, which is always a bonus when you fall out of it at the end of the night.

We had rooms all over the place last time, and as Caro says the higher the better. But it was clean, cheap and easy to find (bonus in my case...:D)

Well looks like August could be popular so I will post up some dates to see who's interested in what dates. of course there is nothing stopping us doing a Friday and Saturday although I don't think I'm up to that anymore lol.

 

Friday 7th

Saturday 8th

Friday 14th

Saturday 15th

Friday 21st

Saturday 22nd

 

The last weekend of August is as ever a bank holiday weekend so I think people will be more likely to be doing family things that weekend.

Are you being harrassed by a DCA or Brighthouse. Click the link for OFT Debt collection guidelines. Chances are, they could be in breach of some part of sections 2 or 3 or both!

I know you're tiny, but if you take ID you should be able to get into a regular sized bar - no need for a special mini one just for you.

 

I was looking for the bar.

 

Thought you were looking for your shoes?!
