    • 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.

NITLC Offer New Deal to Ex Advent IT Computer Training Students

The National IT Learning Centre, who offered free workshops to Ex Advent IT students which were a great success, have now offered further help for those who want to continue their training with a new provider of their choice.

Managing Director Charles Oskwarek stated: ‘NITLC are not involved in current discussions with the Administrators PKF (UK) in relation to the sale or negotiations to buy Advent Training or Access Training, or provide training for Advent students despite the positive feedback NITLC have received from Advent Students.

However, NITLC have received countless calls from Ex Advent Students asking for our help as still nothing has been concluded and students do not appear to know what is happening. Many Advent Students may, subject to how they funded their course, be free to choose a provider of their choice to complete their IT Training once they have fully researched and tested their rights.

NITLC have and continue to make it clear that they are not in a position to offer advice on specific loan agreements students have entered into, or their rights, however due to the demand they have received NITLC have decided to offer the following for those who wish and are in a position now or in the future to take up new alternative training options and exercise their freedom of choice.’

Exclusive Offer To Ex Advent IT Students

Ø Significantly reduced course costs exclusive to EX Advent Students subject to the financial commitment they have already made and level of progress in their training to date.

Ø The latest 2008 Microsoft qualifications as most other training providers are still only offering Server 2003 qualifications.

Ø Tailored courses and payment terms on a one to one basis.

Ø Full access to fully certified Tutors and on most courses hands-on workshops.

Ø Access to Student Net and the most in depth-practice exams in the world

Ø Full access to our careers department to help students into an IT career.

Important!

NITLC are unable on this occasion to offer these high quality course options (with superior support inclusive of exam costs, workshops and all the benefits) free of charge; costs albeit significantly and exclusively lower will need to be met by the students but NITLC do promise the following:

NITLC Promise

1. This is a genuine offer with new options specially created for Ex Advent Students at lower costs for their IT Career courses based on demand we have already received.

2. No sales representative or sales presentation will be involved; all interested students will be dealt with by the senior management team at NITLC’s Head office on an open and honest basis.

3. Interested students can visit NITLC Head Office to meet the Tutors and Directors, and examine training and exam facilities and for one to one consultation, once students are in a position to consider their new training options.

What’s Next?

Ø Do your research: Check out the IT Training Checklist on this link IT Training Courses from the National IT Learning Centre

Ø Contact David Greenwood, NITLC’s Student Services Manager on 01636 612226 to discuss your training situation and for a one to one free consultation if appropriate, or e-mail [email protected].

Finally, we believe that our Courses and Student Support are superior to that of any other similar provider having been in training for almost 20 years, in fact in most cases ours are the only fully up to date courses. For many Ex Advent Students who are determined to achieve their training and career goals we are also confident that we can not only offer similar terms that they received in the past but better terms overall in most, if not all, cases.

I have found out more from NITLC than Barclays have told me since january when we found out that advent had gone into administration.

 

Computeach - the alternative provider, do not appear to do the CISCO route, so they dont actually offer the course that we started???? Does this mean that barclays are in Breach of contract? They told us that they would provide equal or better alternative but they dont even appear to d the course we are signed up for? Can I claim the monies so far paid out to them, having received no exams or anything from Advent. All we have had is some books and no more before they went bust.

 

Any ideas?
