    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Had my first campaigner at the door who is standing as an independent for the district council. Up until now all we've had is a leaflet for the labour parliamentary candidate. It was the same at the last election.

 

Is it any wonder the electorate are so complacent about voting if candidates can't be bothered!!

C'mon Caro how can candidates knock on every door. Have you got your con leaflet yet:madgrin:

 

BTW have you thought you may have been out when they called. Leaflets are also delivered by helpers and the candidate can knock on a seperate occasion.

It would appear that the Labour, Conservative and UKIP candidates for this area, are not even old enough to purchase cigarettes or alcohol in our village store - which has a notice advising that under 25's have to produce ID for this purpose !!

There's someone in a lot of the time but nothing from cons. Guess they don't need to bother in this constituency as it's a sure thing for them. :(

Good to hear the young are engaging in politics:-) It's thought a higher percentage of 18-25 yr olds will vote this time. We shall see.

The housing association. I moved in 3 months ago and informed them that my intercom doesn't work. They still haven't fixed it. They've been informed on numerous occasions that it doesn't work. They've not bothered to do anything about it.

Doctors receptionists. Apparently, my medication can't possibly be the cause of my dehydration. I've lost count of the amount I've drunk over the weekend when it was really bad. But the leaftlet says it's a possible side effect.

 

I've been like this since Saturday. Actually, I think it's been going on longer than this. But it's only recently become more obvious.

watching a programme where a mother subjected her baby have it's ears pierced . It does not hurt them she said, so why did the poor baby scream and cry and her ears bleed :(

Tbh, there should be a law that says no piercing under 10, least then they are old enough to say yes or no

How can she say it doesn't hurt when she's not the one having it done? Her pain thershold isn't the same as her baby's.

I don't know how you'd stop it, and it's how many people first find their way to CAG when they need help. If you read the cag site rules (3.3) it says that posts are cached on search engines like google.

You will. Copy and paste any post you've done into google and it'll more than likely be found again.

 

Wonder what you'd find if you googled your name? :-o

If it weren't visible on Google, others wouldn't find their way to help sites, such as this snowdragon. I think you will likely find that some sites that charge subscriptions might have sections that are private and the contents of those posts will not be visible.
