    • 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.

I first rang comet about the fault on my LG washing machine at end of july 2011 ,

on which they sent an engineer out to repair the fault ,

 

he confirmed it was a damaged door seal that has a hole in it causing water to leak out of the machine.

 

However the part supplied to him was the wrong one for my machine, so he ordered another one ,

after 2 weeks we discovered after ringing comet that the service center had recieved the part ;

but it was damaged !! and another part had to be ordered. Yet more waiting ......

 

after numourous calls at my expense i am still no further to having my washer repaired,

i am told part is on order and it was expected at service center 09/09/2011 ,

but no call back to arrange an engineer to fit it has been made ???

 

when i rang this morning all they could tell me was a part was on order yes ; but nothing else.

They said they would email service center to query it and they should ring me !!.

 

 

As far as i am concerned i have waited more than a reasonable length of time for comet to repair the washing machine under the terms of the warranty.

 

If this is not resolved in the next 7 days , i feel it only fair to assume a repair is not possible ,

and expect a replacement machine to the same value and specification , new for old !!:-x:-x:-x:-x:-x

 

i have forwarded much the same to comets product cover office in gloucestershire complaining about the poor service with details

of my cover with them etc. I do not expect it will do any good as i feel i am being given the run around and they are just delaying

what will probably happen; which is they will have to replace the machine to its current value. Something they obviously are trying to avoid .

 

:-x:-x:-x:-x

warranty has nothing to do with it.

how old is your machine.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
