    • An update - Still receiving emails and letters - but have been getting text messages too. nothing aggressive just asking me to get in touch.    the text makes it look like it from the bank on first glance - it reads -   'the banks name' would like to dicuss our recent communication...etc... then lists IDR phone number and email FYI - reporting them as spam
    • Hello, After seeing all of the posts about BMW on here I really wish I hadn't even considered them! I bought a used car from them over the weekend, one specifically which had a reversing camera and cruise control in the advert. I was foolish at the time of purchase and didn't check to see these functions work on the test drive (totally my fault). Now that the car is home I've checked and checked and neither of these functions are available. I even checked on Parkers and it seems that no Skoda Kamiq '21 models come with any parking cameras at all. When buying the car, I was told all that was needed was 'Four signatures and £500' to secure it. I was never shown any of the documents, and instead the sales rep opened a box on his iPad and asked me to sign. He had been complaining about the length of time some customers take these days all throughout my time with him. (Again) foolishly I signed. In my email inbox I now have four attachments from BMW, one of which is my signature under a letter which basically says that the cars don't need to match the advertisements online, or have any of the features that a sales rep talks about. I realise that I've made mistakes in not doing my due diligence here, but thought I might as well ask the experts here if I have any rights left to claim that the car was miss-advertised, or if I unknowingly signed them away? Thanks in advance
    • where was this PCN:? please complete: pers i cant see the point in an sar yet await/if they ever send a letter of claim. as long as you've not moved since 2022 you are OK to totally ignore . dx  
    • ah this is a B2B PCP then as your are sending the SAR as a private individual and not as repping the co. you need to prove to them. unfortunately, i think that will also reset the 30 days. dx

    • 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.

Internet arrrgh really am computer illiterate so after my laptop refused to connect to the internet I called the BNT helpdesk, by the time I got through it had decided to work, tried to explain that there was something wrong but I think there was a total communication breakdown as the guy wanted to disconnect my home hub, that wasn't what I wanted!!!!! I wanted it checked out to see what the problem was

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and let me know, thank you.

How childish some people are. if you're going to argue, don't do it in a room with a group of people. Don't like one of them at all either. The impression I got tonight, very few people like her because of her attitude.

A cheese-maker has been told by police she may be liable for legal action if she supplies Gloucester's famous annual cheese-rolling event.

Keep up the fight against Bank Charges.

My late brother in law used to be a catcher at the bottom of the hill - not the cheese, but the competitors.

 

It's completely mad, but traditional to the area.But now it is not covered by any insurance so the Organisers had to pull out of organising it all.They all worked volentarily anyway and the main Organiser has now sadly died. Last year was an Un-official Cheese Rolling and now they can't have the Cheese!!!

Keep up the fight against Bank Charges.

Learnt yesterday that the man who fatally stabbed and killed a friend of a friends' husband, is appealing his jail sentence. This poor woman and her young children have enough to deal with already. Am hoping that his sentence gets increased.

I came back from my school run, parked my car and was walking home. A new neighbour has just moved in and has put large stones/gravel on his drive for parking. Three children from the school opposite his house together with a younger sibling were all over the drive helping themselves to the stones, abetted by a woman with them. I told them to get off and told the woman she should be ashamed of herself. Then another woman joins in, accuses me of swearing at the children - which I wasn't - and then starts screaming at me to **** off. Then she says, "You don't have children." Yes, I do, and it would never occur to her to walk on to someone else's property and start helping herself to anything. There was absolutely no shame. They actually think they have a right to trespass and steal. :mad2:

I just couldn't believe it. I spoke to the school and they were equally horrified and said they will watch out for them doing it again. They can easily see from the school windows. I've said I'll go into the school myself and get a teacher if I see them at it. What a way to bring up your children - walk into someone else's property and take what you want. These are brand new white pebbles/gravel and the kids were picking up handfuls and handing them over to the woman. Unbelievable. It's supposed to be a church school, and I suggested they covered the question of stealing in their RE lessons.
