    • 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.

Not breaking news but pure facts !

 

http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/feb/11/comet-axe-jobs-repair-service

 

These are the real facts regarding COMET Service .

 

Yes indeed many posters on CAG will say it cant get any worse but I can assure you it will regarding Customer Service .

 

This Retailer is still leading customers into the never never land and will not admit defeat .

 

Sold for £2.00 , £1.00 for COMET the other £1.00 their Warranty thing what ever .

 

Total mismanagement for many many years senior management jumped a sinking ship some time ago , the rest are still there after being promoted to take there place what a joke !

 

And just to add these 450 Skilled Engineers that are now facing redundancy in the next 10 weeks or so , many with 25-40 years service will be rewarded with the absolute minimum redundancy payments .

 

This post is pure facts it will not help resolve issues posted here on CAG but I hope it will give some insight to what is going on at COMET who are still acting as everything is business as usual .

 

And I would more than welcome a response from "Comet Response " to state otherwise.

 

Or even Opcapita the new £2.00 owners ............

All they are doing is what other retailers have been doing for some time. Sub Contract all repair work.

Hi s ,

 

Someone from COMET would need to answer that question I just know they have got rid of and in the process of getting rid of nearly 600 SKILLED Staff in the past few months .

 

 

About 450 jobs will go at electricals retailer Comet under a plan to reduce its repairs service. The overhaul follows Kesa Electricals' sale of the business to private investment firm OpCapita. "The proposal to reduce our staff numbers has been a very tough decision to make but significant savings are required to secure the long-term viability of our business," said Comet's chief executive, Bob Darke. Comet currently provides a repair service on behalf of a range of manufacturers. Engineers across the UK would lose their jobs, as well as those with support roles at its Clevedon site near Bristol.

 

 

Perhaps skilled staff are no longer needed any more regarding White and Brown goods repairs , but then again DSG started this trend some time ago = " KnowHow" .

Regards
