    • 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 have a loan with them for about 120 that was due on the 30/11 - 2 days ago. I also have 4 other loans, 2 of which i am on repayment plans for. In total i owe about 1500 to these companys and i currently earn about 120 a week so as you can imagine im finding it hard to pay them back. Anyway i told 247 moneybox the day before it was due that i wouldnt be able to pay it is there any chance we could make arrangememnts for a payment plan, to which i was told to leave it until it had gone into arrears and then phone up. Well i dont want to do it over the phone so i asked for an email adress, they gave me one and said this is for customer services email them and they will ring you. I said i wont answer their calls. I have emailed them and had no reply. Now they have started ringing me at 7.30am on my mobile and landline waking all my family up!! what should i do next?

Ultimately I had to talk on the phone to these, cos they rung me at workThey do have a facebook page which can be printed and used in evidence which may be one way round not talking to them although the fella I used to speak to didn't have a nasty streak and was not threatning though I was given the impression that they could stop charges if you contact them before defaultRather then give your debit card no, you can pay by Paypal I've just found out !

Wait for their call then .......................or email back! or contact a free dmp company who can take on the running of your debts for you but cannot guarantee to freeze interest or escape charges though in majority of cases I guess they win over the creditor The longer it's left the worse it gets with 247 Moneybox my £123.00 loan became £212.00 : ( don't let the same happen to youPayplan or CCCS are both free and could save you some hassle.

I had a loan with moneybox 24/7 and failed to meet the payment, but i found them ok to deal with but as i did i would phone them up and make a settlement offer on the loan and asked them to stop calling you. I wrote to them and advised them all contact must be by email or phone. Hope this helps.

erm, I would like to add and perhaps re-iterate the call came at work after sending them a letter about my account actually after Dan Clipper Smith or whatever their called refused to deal with me despite sending their stupid texts very late at night 23:59pm - please don't suggest I 'ignored'

 

They don't seem the type of company to accept a lower settlement amount in my opinion, but, like, I say was told can freeze the account as soon as you 'talk' to them

 

Paying up certainly is the one guaranteed way to deal with them
