    • 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.

Hello.

I am currently running a group called Justice4jobseekers.

 

We aim to help highlight the damage done by the current tyranny that laughably calls itself a government to those who are affected by unemployment and more specifically,

the draconian and unfair changes to the benefit system.

 

In time, we want to organise protests and other action across the UK.

 

For now, we need to get the word out that we exist.

 

Please offer your support by joining my page on facebook. You can find the link in my profile.

 

 

Your help and support will be greatly appreciated.

Good luck but sorry I think your group is missing the point, at least politically.

 

This country is not run by this or that government but by the banking system. Take for example the Governor of the Bank of England, who has been put there by Goldmann Sachs, same as the Governor of the European Central Bank and many Prime Ministers in Europe.

 

It's because the banking system is not allowed to default that the vulnerable in this country, the poor, the sick and the unemployed, have to pay the bill for them.

 

If the big banks and the housing market were allowed to default, there would be no need for austerity measures. People would be able to buy houses at an affordable price, small companies would be able to employ and there would be less unemployment and less bashing of the poor. My opinion for what it is worth.

Heya San,

 

No, I haven't missed the point. I agree fully with what you are saying. I have known for some time now that our political system has been hijacked by the corporations and super-wealthy and in an ideal world I could fight all aspects of that situation but sadly, my time is limited and I can only do so much.

 

One thing I do know is that many on jobseekers allowance and other benefits, espceially where I am, do not have a voice to speak on their behalf. They are put through the mill of benefit reform, getting their benefit sanctioned for trivial reasons and are still expected to jump through hoops with their jobsearches as so to avoid another benefit sanction, which is a bit silly because if you have no money, are not eating and worried about where the next meal is coming from, then how can you satisfactorily be seeking work? Postage stamps cost money. Bus fares costs money. Petrol costs money. Many aspects of looking for work costs money.

 

I would love to take on the might of the puppet masters behind the government but I have chosen to speak up for those who are often on the bottom rungs of the ladders in society.

 

Thanks for your reply. It is refreshing to see others can see what I see and that I am not alone in my own observations.

Being honest, I'm pretty sure there's no need for austerity measures regardless of whether or not the banks are allowed to default. Even the IMF have finally admitted that austerity is damaging and makes the economy worse.

 

Facebook groups and protests let people know that they're not alone in seeing the injustice and wanting to do something about it. There are many groups that are slowly coming together and getting things done. There's a lot going on all across the country and one day soon people will look back on what's happening today and realise that there was actually a revolution in progress.

There is a vacancy for a modern day Watt Tyler. You sound like a good candidate, so I'll check out your facebook page. I see what you see. I personally think everybody (EVERYBODY) should put down what tools are still available and show these idiots that enough is enough. Oh I hear you say, what about the hospitals, the elderly, the police, the fire brigade? So what? Let the bloody govt have a real issue to contend with for once.

 

I do not want to continue to watch children being further deprived, people being beaten up financially because there is no work, being forced out of life long homes because they have one extra bedroom, being left to rot in their homes because the care is being withdrawn.

 

But most of all I hate to see one part of society being set against the other in our country. Right at the start of his reign (Cameron, I don,t mention the other fool, waste of breath) he went after our Forestry Commision, remember? And he was swiftly and firmly smacked down by the public. This was an important issue, of course. I would now like to see the same united front with all the other little "Cameron issues" that are actually causing PEOPLE to die.

I hope you are not taking too much notice of other peoples negativity. I think the site is a good idea. I recently had an issue but they had interpretted the guidance incorrectly. If you are going to be sanction in the first week you loose benefit for that week if it is in the second week you can be sanctioned for three weeks. Then they mislaid all my new claim and hardship forms. After 4 weeks they overid the system and just credited my account!!
