    • 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.

Charlie, don;t you be giving up now. WHEN you finally win, you can then give yourself a huge pat on the back. If you can win this in your current state of mental health, imagine what you'll be capable of when you have recovered.

 

This is dreadful. But it is what all ESA applicants are required to go through now.

 

The one thing I am so pleased to hear - right at the start of this post you said you had a neighbour who worked at the CAB but you felt you couldnt approach him. It sounds like you did approach him and I am so very glad you did.

 

Two years ago one of my neighbours approached me, as I am a former housing officer. It took him a lot of courage, he was depressed as hell like you with Borderline Personality Disorder to boot. I immediately agreed to help him, as I would anyone deserving of it and having the courage to ask me. Because he found that courage he got to keep his home. I believe, you have found the courage to ask for help, so therefore, this will come out right in the end.

 

I fully understand how you feel like giving up on a regular basis; however, now turn the thing on its head and see that it is actually keeping you bobbing along.

 

Keep your chin up, stay calm, nothing can really get worse than it already is.

 

Thinking of you. X
