    • 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 don't know why the government continually bites when labour comes out with some of their rubbish, I would just stand up, say 'whatever' and sit down again.

 

Shame your leaders aren't as astute as Labour then. Just watching your leaders soap opera. It is time for integrity and trust, a long time coming and I would say to all leaders, get real, work for the people.

G4S were in a position to supply the numbers, they thought they would wait until the last minute to recrute them so keeping wages down and profits up

 

Short termism again then, profit before people. You get long term problems with short term thinking.

 

BTW I'm glad our military are taking over as recruiting from the general public for security services brings added problems. You are not vetted properly and the window of opportunity from it being used by the bad people to harm is enormous.

It will be interesting to see if we get sunny weather during he Olymics:-D Just wondered if they've found a way to stop the rain.

 

Just watching the news and seeing staff walk in the compound without a security check it seems to me.

This is the New York Times take on Mr Bean:

 

Mr. Bean's Fitting Finale

Mr. Bean just ended his segment by making a flatulent sound effect on the synthesizer. The British are taking this in a somewhat different direction than Beijing, and I have to say, I heartily approve.

 

The writer probably just had a hearty meal and empathises:madgrin:
