    • 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.

You write to them and ask again, tell them in no uncertain terms, 'no bank details means no payments'. Also you can add 'your continual refusal to cooperate can only be seen as an attempt to increase the outstanding balance by adding charges and or interest, none of which I will pay'.

 

Don't ever talk to them on the phone unless you can record the call and send letters by recorded delivery so you have proof of your attempts to resolve this.

 

You must take control of this Rennie and not let them dictate to you.

That is what I mean by 'you' taking charge. Tell them in the letter that you will not respond to any phone calls and that all correspondence must be in writing.

 

It matters not that they just send generated responses, that is their problem. Keep all correspondence to and from them. How much is outstanding by the way ?

Please don't feel embarrassed or ashamed, you really aren't alone in this. These companies just take advantage of your situation, rub their hands in glee and bump up the charges.

 

Are you sure you can afford £252 per month? If that is pushing you to the limit, then make it lower and more affordable. If you have a chequebook, you could send them a cheque each month instead of bank transfer.

I can see you want rid of the debt, and you are willing to do overtime to make these payments, but that is the weakpoint of it. Say the overtime dries up meaning you fail to send the payment amount you promised. When you make an offer of payment, you should be sure you can continue that agreement without missing a payment, which is why you need to be certain that you can reliably afford that amount.

 

If you say you can make xx payments and then have to miss one, that will give them the upper hand again.

Send them a postal order with the amount you can afford and enclose a letter saying that as you refuse to give me any other means by which to pay you, all payments will be done by Postal Order. The fee for the Postal Orders and postage costs 'will' be deducted from the outstanding balance. Send it by recorded delivery.

All sorted I will be paying via standing order

Would it be possible to close this thread now

Thank you

 

 

Would you like to give the account details here so others that are affected can pay that way without going through the hoops ?
