    • 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.

Hi all,

I wonder if any of you can help me with this?

I have recently received a compliance letter for tax credits. They are asking for details of my childcare, receipts, contracts etc. I have sent them the standard letter stating the amount my childcare provider says I have paid and I have worked out that I have over claimed by around £30 per week for childcare.

 

I have sent details of bank statements and pay since January 12 to March 12 which is what they asked for.

My boyfriend gives me maintenance for my son of around £200 to £300 per month, which I have highlighted and explained in the covering letter I sent with the info they requested.

 

I have told them that I believe I have overclaimed in child care and offered to make arrangements to pay it back.

The issue I have is that my boyfriend (who is not my sons biological father) pays me maintenance as his real father does not and I am worried that they will now think he lives with me.

 

He has his own flat, which I can prove with mortgage, council tax, utility bills etc and nothing attaches him to my home but he does stay with me every weekend. Reason being, most of the time he works away and if he didnt stay here me and my son (who considers him as his father) would never see him.

 

I am due to go into hospital soon for a mastectomy operation and I want him to stay more, to help with my son and to look after me. He is happy to do this but still does not want to give his flat up as he still wants his own address ( I am always asking him to move in but he doesn't want to get rid of his flat).

 

I am so worried as the letter mentions fraud and prosecution, I have asked for a speedy resolve as I really don't want this hanging over me when I go into hospital. I have penned a letter to them saying that I am now (as of today actually) not using childcare anymore as my ex mum i law is going to be looking after my son during the hols and that as I want my bf to stay more, I no longer wish to claim tax credits. I am scared that they wil think this is weird and make it look dodgy but I would rather just pay back the overpayment that they come up with and have nothing more to do with them. I have not sent it yet and don't know what to do.

 

It is making me ill, please help.

 

For the record, the letter was only about childcare, not my single status but I am worried now that as my bank account shows money coming in from him for maintenance that they will think it isn't right and accuse me of lying!! Only because I have read that some people have been told they should claim as a couple even though they do not actually live together,

 

I am a born worrier and I may be worrying for no reason but I am scared out of my wits and think it is the end of the world!!!

 

I just want to find out what they are going to do, have my operation and be left in peace to recover with my son and my boyfriend!

Sorry if I waffled

I totally feel for u! I am also waiting to hear back after a

Compliance letter from them I phoned and spoke to someone straight away!! Told me it would be amended within two wks! Had never heard anything from them and after 4 further phone calls I finally spoke to a case worker who told me that the claim had been finalised but noone had used te new details Donahue could not understand why and was away to look into it all again!!! So 2 months later here we go again!! Phone them and explain about ur operation and ask if it has been dealt with yet! Hope all goes well with ur op :)
