    • 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.

First this is long so sorry but I really need some help.

In may of last year after returning from hoilday I found that £1000 have been taken from my account online, I contacted my bank RBS and they were great and refunded the money within a few weeks.

In Jan of this year I got a phone call from the fraud team saying there was activity on my account which they were worried about turned out was fraud they said not to worry and cancelled the card thats when the nightmare began it took them 3 weeks to send me the forms to sign I ring up for a update and while on the phone they told me my card has starnge activity on it yet again (new card only had it for two weeks) cancelled again got a new card, I wont ever use it online again too scared.

Now they have sent me a letter saying they think the fraud has been committed by someone I know and wont refund.

What do I do I am a single mum and uni all of my student loan £3000 which is for rent food childcare have been taken I am pennyless?

thats pants about the police - get a bank statement showing the fraudulent transactions that they are not refunding - go to your local police station and report it - get the crime ref no and go to the bank to re report it with the crime ref no -

I got asked ny someone to take some money out of their account, which I did with the pin they gave me, then about a week later they fell out with me and told me they were going to report me to the police, so I phoned the bank and asked them about it from my point of view...

 

 

I was told that the pin number is a private safeguard, if someone gave it to me then they have no comeback on the money taken out of the account, as they gave permission for it to be used. so no charges can be pressed against me...

 

I know this doesn't help, but may be why they are saying they won't refund. What has been taken, or has the money been transfred to a different account as the bank must know where the money has gone, if it has been withdrawn from a cashpoint then it should say which one was used..
