    • 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, I am new to the forum so please forgive me if I post in the incorrect place etc.

 

My brother who is 53 Yrs old and has been on incapacity benefit for the last 20 years has been informed that he his has been refused ESA after his ATOS assessment. He scored ZERP points :(

 

I know that he should appeal and I have got the GL24 form to complete but my question is is this sufficient? or should I compose a letter to accompany it? he has been to his GP who has given him a sick note for 4 weeks..do I include this in with the GL24?

 

I have taken a look at honeybees letter (thank you) but should I complete this now or wait until I know it's going to tribunal?

 

Sorry I am complete newbie to dealing with anything like this and I have read so much conflicting information over the last day my head is in a muddle. I would really appreciate all the help I can get.

 

Thank you in advance

Kerry

Welcome to CAG Kerry,

 

I can only offer you some support and basic advice at the moment and I would like to see how this pans out as I too am on IB, and will no doubt be summoned to an ATOS interrogation in the near future.

 

All I can advise is to make as much noise about this as possible, as well as appealing this corrupt decision made by unqualified pen pushers.

 

Inform your local Press, your local MP, and ridicule this decision as publicly as possible.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Hi pickle. 0 points is nothing to be concerned about, it's almost standard practice with ATOS. You only have one month to get the GL24 in. Just complete it and add copies of any supporting evidence you have to hand but don't overly worry about that. The DWP DM will (eventually, this can take several months) revue the decision. If (as is usual) they decide they will uphold the decision, they will forward the info on to the Tribunals Service. You will, again eventually, receive a huge pack of gobbledegook including the full reasons why the decision was made and the ATOSH full report, as well as copies of the original ESA50 et al. That is then the time you go through the lot and form your rebuttal. Honeybee's letter will certainly help at this point. Then send all your info and supporting evidence to the Tribunal Service who will, in time, give you a date for the hearing. All this can take anywhere between six months and a year or so.

The most important thing throughout is to ensure sick notes are sent. Do not let them expire before sending a new one. No sick note, no ESA payment.

Thank you for the replies ....Very helpful. I am filling in the form as we speak and will enclose copies of anything he has . Thanks that has put my mind at rest somewhat. I was thrown by the

"you must say why you think the decision is wrong part on the form. Thinking do they want me to detail the reasons? I would be here all day writing a book lol

Thanks again , much appreciated
