    • 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 been a customer with perfect home for around 3 years (never missed a payment.)

and i have sofa from them at £22 a week

 

ive paid about 70 weeks of the 130 week contract and came to a bit of a struggle

i ended up losing my job and going on to benefits

 

i rang perfecthome and asked if they could help me reduce the payment like take the opitional cover off but oh no they couldnt help

so i missed a few payments

 

they hounded me,

turned up at my door etc telling me some pretty awful things

i didnt refuse to pay i just asked to knock the opitonal service cover and maybe the theft off.

 

just had a chap at the door from temple finance saying they will take me to court in 14 days

and i better have a solictor etc and they will take money from my benefits and bailiffs will come etc

 

anyone been to court yet and anyone had money taken off there benefits and what happens thanks very much.

This is typical scaremongering by this company, I personally have never heard of them taking court action. Why would he suggest that you better have a solicitor when he is acting on behalf of the company.

 

Put all future requests to the company in writing including any offer of repayment and keep copies.

 

Never talk to them on the phone.

you've paid more than 1/3rd so there not alot they can do.

 

they have NO legal powers anyhow.

 

now these insurances....

 

you do know you can reclaim ALL the payments you've made on them

 

 

they are NOT compulsory, no matter WHAT they say.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
