    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

We (my partner and I) worked for a family and we lived in their house. The contract we had was to live there but NOT as tenants. We had to pay phone and broadband bills – that’s all.

When we moved out our ex-landlord sent a letter to the council saying we were responsible for paying the council tax for all the time we lived there. We knew nothing about it until we got the letter from Stirling Park . They told us we had to pay £700 – it now comes to £850.

We went to CAB and they sent a letter to the council explaining that we weren’t the people responsible for paying the council tax but it didn’t help. The council still want us to pay. We tried to contact Stirling Park but have not heard anything.

Can anyone tell us if they are right? What can we do? What will happen if we don’t pay Stirling Park?”

Did you have a formal tenancy agreement? If so does it clearly state which bills you are responsible for.

If it was just a verbal agreement, the onus falls on the occupier of the property at that time, (unless it a multi-occupancy property in which case landlord would be liable)

None of the beliefs held by "Freemen on the land" have ever been supported by any judgments or verdicts in any criminal or civil court cases.

I assume this is for Scotland which is different to us south of the Border.

we don't have "tenancy agreement" but "statement of employment particulars" and there is written-

"...you occupy accommodation only as service occupants and not as tenants."

" You shall be responsible for the payment of telephone and internet broadband bills."

there are nothing about council tax also there are nothing about electricity and gas bills which we paid.

Hi, justka.

 

I take it you are in Scotland, I've moved this thread to the Scotland Forum, I'll see if I can get you some help.

 

Can you confirm Stirling Park are the Landlords and not Sheriff Officers trying to recover these monies.

hi bluedogx

Thank you,it was very helpfull.

I find their:

quote:

"When are residents not liable?"

 

-dwellings which are not the owner's main home, but which are the main home of someone whom the owner employs in domestic service!

If you live in one of these dwellings, where the owner is liable, you will not be liable for payment of the council tax.

I was twice in cab and they sent letter to the council.

The cab informed in that letter we are not liable for paying those tax.Council contacted with ex-landlord and they said-they do not occupied the property since....so council still want the money from us.

Cab said they can not help us and they gave us Lawyers list in our area but any of those lawers can help us.

 

All the time they(landlords) paid council tax.

 

What do you mean "Have you been served with a charge for payment?"

This is from the link in a previous post

 

What if I disagree with the council's assumption on who is liable?

 

"You should be able to reach an agreement by phoning your council directly. If not you should write to the council explaining what you object to and why. The council will have two months to provide an answer. If you still disagree with the council, or if it has not acted within the two month period, you will be able to appeal to a valuation appeal committee."

Mike Peterson is head of revenues, maybe an email to him will help, keep it simple and to the point explaining your only contacting him as the council front staff are not being helpful his email should be [email protected]
