    • 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've just left AOL to go with BT Infinity. Speeds are great but they failed to mention my VOIP line was not supported. Thankfully I found a work around. They gave me a very long install date but I got on Twitter and found a reason to complain about something and they installed the same week. Pay your yearly line rental off in one lump sum for a good discount.

 

p.s I'm getting 50mb down, 11mb upload. and it's not fiber all the way to your home, only to the street cabinet then old school exsisting copper wire to your house so depending on how far from the cabinet you are will decide your speed.

Plus net have a rep on CAG (and not a lot of issues to deal with) and they use BT cables, so their fibre optic is the same as BT's... see how they compare on price.

If in doubt, contact a qualified insured legal professional (or my wife... she knows EVERYTHING)

 

Or send a cheque or postal order payable to Reclaim the Right Ltd.

Hi Freakyleaky,

 

Both Uswitch and Moneysupermarket have speed checkers for free online

 

or http://www.speedtest.net/

This is a joke. It says I have 16Mbit download bandwidth, no way I have this bandwidth, I am lucky if I have 4-5 Mb. The best way is to download a large file from a reputable ftp server and check the speed on the connectivity dialogue.

I am with Virgin Media. Not the cheapest, but by far the best where I am. I pay for up to 30mb download speeds, but Virgin have doubled all existing customers speeds for free. Also, Virgin Media (as far as I know), are the only suppliers that don't put a speed block on P2P sites (not that I would use one to download a movie in less than 5 minutes). That would just be plain naughty.:-(

 

I now have a download speed of 58mb:oops:

 

 

If all else fails, kick them where it hurts and SOD'EM;)
