    • Good evening, My husband and I are looking for some help regarding a faulty car which we have recently purchased from Big Motoring World Enfield. The details are as follows: - Make - Nissan Qashqai 2017 1.2L milage 55,349 miles.  Date purchased -   01/06/2024 Price paid - Deposit £9000, finance £4794 (this includes the 3yr Nissan extended warranty), buyers fee £249.      Total including all fees etc = £ 13794.        Initially, during the test drive, there was no problem with the car at all and this is why my husband bought the car on the day. No problems on the way home from the dealership and up to three days after purchase, the car drove smoothly. However, after day 4, occasionally we would feel a slight shudder during some gear changes (automatic car). Over the next few days these shudders worsened and then on day 5 the car would make very a very loud shudder with every single gear change. It was at this point we contacted Big Motoring World for advice as we are still under the 14 days no questions asked return.  My husband contacted BMW for advice on 06/06/2024 and stated the problems as above. He spoke to a sales person who informed him that he should only take the car to a Nissan dealership (we have now been told that this is false information). We were also promised that a courtesy car would be provided for us after the fault on the car had been identified and confirmed by their mechanic fixing the car. We took the car to the garage that Big Motoring World had told us to go. Upon arrival there we discovered it was a third-party garage, not Nissan. We took the car to the garage on day 9. The mechanic ran a diagnostic test which found no faults, but after the test drove the car and below are his findings...   we scan the car but no faults with the gearbox showing but when I test drove the car it was really juddering and jumping.I spoke to my auto transmission specialist and he said they are very common on these as the CVT belt starts jumping within the box due to pressure loss.  We had this vehicle in for diagnostics for gearbox mate but both the gearbox and battery are faulty.Gearbox supplied and fitted comes to £3500 plus vat   Where we are at now…. My husband spent all of day 10 (11/06/2024) making phone calls between the garage, Warranties2000 and Big Motoring World. He tried, unsuccessfully to find out if the diagnostic reports had been shared between all three. Everyone kept saying the report hadn’t been received and yet the garage assured us it had been sent. Eventually we were told that the courtesy car would be given to us if it was deemed the works to fix the car would take longer than 8 working hours, and that decision would be made after 48hours of receiving the report. Today is day 11 and no decision has been made as nobody is telling us any decisions as people are off sick or on holiday! Today we called the garage and told the mechanic NOT to start any work as we will be returning the car. He said none have been started and we have left the car in his storage as he has deemed the car undrivable. I have sent an email to BMW now formally stating that we want to return the car and I have used the terminology that was suggested.   What can we do next?   Thank you everyone. .  
    • Yes will do thanks Dave, I wonder what will happen at the preliminary hearing no idea what they will ask I assumed once I sent the proof they asked for about my sons condition that I would have just  been given the go ahead to be Litigation friend
    • First the judge will rule on you representing your son, which will be a doddle. After that the full hearing date will be fixed, with WSs exchanged 14 days before. So for the moment just concentrate on getting the right to represent your son.  
    • Thank you, the mediations in a couple of days so hopefully they show up this time. I'll update this thread after how it goes

    • 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.

It's disgusting how they are treating people, prisoners get treated better than people on benefits. Not too sure what you could do to be honest, maybe speak to your doctor? surely if a doctor writes a letter stating that working or doing whatever they are expecting you to do will make your illness worse then it should matter to an extent? have you tried going to citizens advice?

leasky, if you were still no better after your failed tribunal why didn't you simply re-apply for ESA?

this is exactly how these courses are seen,windows 95 and the occasional 3.1,out of date papers and yellow pages,little can expect to change.this hasn't worked before and never will and all that will happen is the default intimidation and bullying will reoccur.

because i wanted to see how i get on with being on jsa, but ive got gradually worse over time, im dreading going back on esa and getting a fail again, but this time im going to get help to fill it in and get more information on it this time, now i get a hangover from the medication, i want to sleep a few hours later after i woke up, im cranky alot, and lash out, dont hit anything like that just raise my voice as i start to get anxious and stuff, i even hate going to the job center and going on the bus, even going to the bowling club im anxious and stressed out, but after a while i calm doon, that is if i have a pint, so if after the workfare interview i will consider applying again

No worries, leasky, sounds like ESA would be better for you but good on you for trying to see how life in the JSA world would be... :-)

 

cheers yeah its been hard, i was coping fine until the last few weeks, but its getting harder to put out the cv's and stuff and with my depression getting more down i find it hard to concentrate on job seeking, ive got to get a away from the pc alot, to calm down, but now i found out i have been past onto that working links for 2 years with this new workfare crap, i just hope i don't have to go to rosyth for this, i hope they take my medical history into question and my qualifications

  • 2 weeks later...

well after going to the job center to tell me that my details have been passed onto working links, and i asked them for any info on this workfare programme, a couple of sheets telling you the ins and outs

 

went for the interview at triage, and subsidiary of working links not far from me, stat down for ten mins, got told to go up the stair, spoke to the woman that was doing the interview, sat down and filled in some stuff, waited for at least 20 mins or more cant actually mind how long it was, went for the interview thing, man it was slow going, she was getting help for the system that they use for entering your information, it must have at least took 1hr and a half to fill in some stuff, thought to myself they don't have a clue whats going on either, go so far through it, got told some stuff, went and done a job search for an hour, at the time i could barley keep my eyes open thought i was gonna fall a sleep, i was glad to get out of this place, now i see why they hardly know anything about this, what a waste of time

they will have to take into account medical history there's no escape from it,and make it clear how it affects you,it may be of interest to read up on rights.here for example its just now known as the equality act basically the same.
