    • 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.

post it off and cancel your DD

stating you have paid more than your initial amount.

ok then

 

how do you want to play this

 

dx it correct

 

that agreement is total pants and totally unenforceable on all counts

 

So looking at it do you think welcome will see that they have screwed up and thats why its taking so long to reply to my complaint. I knew the numbers didnt add up but i was so bamboozled by it all i just didnt know how to make sense of it.

sorry had to go out to a shout.

now thats better,

i must admit i should have spotted the pants agreement earlier and called in the troops , you've been on here months i'd never bothered looking.

 

 

you're in good hands now

 

just sit tight and wait a few days, post is alays very busy.

 

i'd cancel the DD and it might be an idea to alert your bank to not pay them if they try and be crafty and draw it direct via your card details if they have then too.

Hi Dx ,many thanks for the advice, I have cancelled the DD and will inform my bank that they may try and take it from my card, (Can they legally do this?) Also should i inform Welcome in writing that i have cancelled my DD, until they resolve my dispute/complaint many thanks.

i'd leave that to GG to decide

i would think the broadside coming their way will explain it to them.

 

the agreement is nothing but a licence to fleece you and always has been.there's nowt they can do to you now

barring you getting everything back i would think.

HI Dx have you had chance to summarise the agreement? Thank you, I have also sent a letter informing Welcome of my DD Cancellation due to their consistent poor communication and failure to respond to my complaint etc. Whats the chances i will recieve a warning letter on the 16th after my DD bounces back to the smug gits! By cancelling the DD am i getting myself in murky stuff or will welcome just want to get rid of me and pay up what they owe me?.

Also on my agreement copy (Its not the original,) My signature was not witnessed by anybody and in the terms it say's "Customer signature has been witnessed, and signed at welcome offices" etc. Thank you

well, well, well UPDATE!!!

 

Recieved a phone call from the number 08454564877 10:26am

 

I answer "hello is this Miss.... Its Matthew here from Welcome Finance, Why have you not paid your monthly payment?" excuse me Matthew you are not to contact me by phone i request all corospondance in writing".. He continues well you should now that your direct debit has bounced and we have added a charge for this and more charges will be going on your account for as long as you dont make a payment and you will be charged for this phone call, your current balance stands at £1,116. So i hope you have put money aside for this, I said excuse me but i have it in writing that you are not to contact me and i have INFORMED welcome of my cancelled DD and Dispute in writing.He said i should of contacted them by telephone before cancelling He said that my monthly repayment is £146.69 and i have only been paying £50 pmnth, i was getting pretty angry at this point and informed him that this payment has been a longterm agreement. He was getting very sarcastic and told me that i better have a solicitor because once my ppi complaint has been resolved i will be back on the phone in a month crying because i cant pay and that he hope's i havent spent my money already and been putting money aside. He said that my ppi complaint is nothing to do with the payment team . At which point i said send it in writing and slammed the phone down!

 

Where do i go from here? Why after atleast £250 being paid is my balance still higher than when i opened my dispute. What happens now :( Im so annoyed, no actually im livid :/

I was discussing this with my fiance this morning and they have a real issue or should i say worry that im punching into thin air and that i could be in a worse position financially, if i don't have a strong enough case,to win my complaint i have assured her that im in good trusting company on here.I know that they have robbed me blind for the last 5 years and any decent judge will tell welcome they have had enough from me and more. On the other hand Can somebody please help me look at my agreement and summarise the why's and errors on my account so i can strenghthen my case or at least give myself some cold hard comfort. ;) Thank you x
