    • 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.

I am over the moon! I applied for a Security Manager job in Hastings and although I didn't get that (not yet....) I have been offered another position. I will then be trained with the view of taking over as Manager from September/October. In the current employment market, I feel very lucky to have been offered a job at all!

 

My life has took many twists and turns over the last few months - from leaving my Husband (and I got loads of support on CAG) to meeting Alex. Moving to Hastings is going to be scary, but also fantastic. I am very excited :D

 

Just thought I would share it with you all.

Congratulations, Hastings isn't that far from London so you could come to the meets here...

 

As far as my love life goes I had a little spark earlier this year which disappeared but there are a few new contenders... not overbothered though too much.

Thanks jailbird. But, ermmmm......there is a life after the ex, rather than men - I have a new man now, one who lives in Hastings. Have known him since I was 12 - spent 14 years apart, then get back in contact and well.....the rest is history!! But, yes, a wonderful new start for sure.

 

Next step, as mentioned, is divorce. If anyone has any tips on me doing it on the cheap - let me know. Oh, the ex is going to fight me all the way (don't know why), so need a battle plan too - game on :)

Congratulations Clemma it's great to hear some good news for a change.:D

 

My son thought he had a tempory job started Monday. Hard none stop heavy manual work, but he enjoyed it all the same. Went back in yesterday (Tuesday) to find it is a work placement for two weeks only and he is NOT getting paid for it. The other lads who are there are on nearly £10 per hour.

 

Needless to say he has not gone back.

Work experience is one thing - Downright exploitation is another:mad:

 

So hope all goes well for you Clemma:)

Cheers Gyzmo - grinning is not the word!! Handed my notice in yesterday and am now on the 2 week countdown until my final day here. Then on the 10th August I move (finally) away from the north east. All too exciting :D:D
