    • 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.

Don't think I have had a night out where I've not ended up in a 70's or 80's bar, usually with a hat given away free with drinks, flashing led novelties, glowsticks, and a pocket full of flyers for everywhere I didn't go to.

 

Sounds like my idea of a good night out :lol::lol:

Can anyone come ? never been to a meet before but would like to attend, is anyone from up north going ? ( Manchester ), don't know Birmingham only passed through I could give lift. :)

 

Anyone is welcome to attend! If I do, then I will be getting the train, so I would have no problem with meeting anyone at New Street train station. I might even be bringing a non-CAGger just for fun myself :D

Gutted - doesn't look like I can make it. Am moving to the South on the 31st August so need all my pennies for that......

 

Where there is a will, there is a way (or so they say), and IF I can make it, would be more than happy to share a room at the lush accommodation that is the Travelodge :D

Ah, still not sure about whether I can make it or not though. Get paid on the 10th, will count my pennies then. I have my big move on the 31st August, so need much money for that. Who knows though.......some things you just HAVE to have money for as well :D

Still a bit up in the air for me. I have just had a job interview in Hastings (well, it was the second one today, for the same job). It looks like it's in the bag - if so, my move to Hastings will be much sooner........and I will have to work this weekend. Even so, early days yet......will confirm nearer the time.
