    • 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.

Thanks. what a friendly lot. How far from Birmingham new street rail station ?

 

It's not far at all, about half a mile as the Crow flies. Giving directions is a little tricky so you may wish to jump in a cab which will cost you about £4.50 tops.

 

If you fancy walking then the best way is:

 

a) Do not go out of the front of new street station, go up the escalators to the lefthand side of burger king.

b) at the top of the escalators turn left and go out of the exit which you'll find to the left of 'foot locker'

c) at the bottom of the 'ramp' cross the road and go up new street, this is the road which starts with the funny tourist information hut

d) at the top you'll see the lady in the huge water feature, climb the steps to her left and head for the gap in between the town hall and the big posh council building - you're heading for the library and you''ll walk straight through (under) it - past the likes of nandos etc.

d) head for the ICC/Symphony Hall (it's the massive building at the other end of the big square) - you can wlak straight through this too.

e) at the end of the Hall you'll find a canal, take the bridge and go up the steps and you'll find the pitcher and piano on your left.

 

it'll take 15 mins walking (approx)

 

see, get a taxi!

I got all exited cos I thought I could make it and it would have been a good way to commiserate/celebrate the outcome of my court date on the 19th but I've just realised I'm working that weekend and by the time I got there from Essex/London It'd be time for me to come home again. :(

 

Have a great, great time anyway peeps..It would have been nice to put a face to the fantastic advice and give personal thanks but maybe another time.
