    • 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.

Sandra.Hi DO NOT PAY ANYBODY FOR DMPs.

 

A number of us suggest you go through CCCS,get your DMP established and perhaps in 12 months time you will have a very good idea of how a DMP works and then you can carry on under your own steam,

There are 3 charitable Debt Management company's that i know of and are very good

 

They are CCCS, National Debtline and payplan. All of which are free.

 

Of course you could also do all of this yourself

I echo the above. Although I have no personal experience of any of them, I have heard that Pay Plan can be awkward or slow about writing to freeze interest and charges. Others with experience of them will hopefully tell you (and me) whether or not this is true.

CCCS are fine but you must be honest with them and declare all of your debts.Once you have done this they get very uptight if you want to remove a creditor from your list.

 

This is why I say go with CCCS (who are free) and then in 12 months revert to running your own DMP,then if you have a difficult creditor for whatever reason you can also be difficult.

 

You will find CCCS will try very hard to get you 0% interest from your creditors,they do not always succeed however in my experience 85% to 100% seems to be a good hit rate for them.

 

I am with CCCS and have been for some time,I do not run my own DMP as I have 100% creditors at 0% interest

 

Good Luck FS
