    • 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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR CAGGERS!!!

 

Thanks - to everyone who's posted - for everything in 2009, and here's a raised glass to a happy, prosperous, peaceful and generally brilliant 2010 for everyone.

 

Many, many thanks also to all of the site team - it's possible that you're all quite mad to do this (:p), but the fact that you all do has saved my proverbial bacon this year, and made 2010 a far more palatable thought for me. It's genuinely appreciated!!

 

Really...I am raising a glass, BTW. Right now. ;)

 

P.S: Finally remembered to donate!!

I'd forgotten about that song

I wrote....

"A few voddy's, a bit of poker and some chicken & chips"

A couple of years ago, when I was going through a mellowing out stage! :p

 

Happy New Year to you to Dave. :-)

Thank you, and the same to you Kind Sir! :cool:

And surely I'll be mine,

And we'll drink a richt guid willy waught

For auld lang syne.

And pu'd the gowans fine,

But we've wandered monie a wearie fit'

Since auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet

For auld lang syne.

 

 

We twa hae paidled in the burn

Frae morning sun till dine

But seas a'tween us braid hae roared

Since auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet

For auld lang syne.

 

 

And here's a hand my trusty fere

And gie's a hand o' thine

And we'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet

For auld lang syne.

 

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet

For auld lang syne.

Bonnie Wee Jeannie McColl

 

 

Chorus

A fine wee lass, a bonnie wee lass, is bonnie wee Jeannie McColl;

I gave her my mother's engagement ring and a bonnie wee tartan shawl.

I met her at a waddin' in the Co-operative Hall

I wis the best man and she was the belle of the ball.

The very first nicht I met her, she was awfy, awfy shy,

The rain cam' pourin' doon, but she was happy, so was I.

We ran like mad for shelter, an' we landed up a stair,

The rain cam' poorin' oot o' ma breeks, but och I didna care:

For she's.....

A fine wee lass, a bonnie wee lass, is bonnie wee Jeannie McColl;

I gave her my mother's engagement ring and a bonnie wee tartan shawl.

I met her at a waddin' in the Co-operative Hall

I wis the best man and she was the belle of the ball.

Noo I've wad my Jeannie, an' bairnies we have three,

Two dochters and a braw wee lad, that sits upon my knee.

They're richt wee holy terrors, an' they're never still for lang,

But they sit an' listen every nicht, while I sing to them this sang:

Oh it's ....

A fine wee lass, a bonnie wee lass, is bonnie wee Jeannie McColl;

I gave her my mother's engagement ring and a bonnie wee tartan shawl.

I met her at a waddin' in the Co-operative Hall

I wis the best man and she was the belle of the ball.
Meaning of unusual words:

waddin'=wedding

breeks=trousers (pants in the US)

bairnies=children

nicht=night
