    • 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.

thats what I thought too when it first showed up :D Microsoft doesn't warn you about things like that!

 

lol, I remember when Windows 95 was first released and I got a copy of it as a young teen. First thing I tried was the 'all new right click' function... Right clicked on something and something popped up saying 'What is This' LOL.... Needless to say, yet another microsoft confusion maker :D I was genuinely under the impression that it should have told me haha :D Kinda like the functionality it has now with hovering your mouse over something hahaha :D

 

*edit* just to add you can disable that annoying UAC functionality. Not advisable though as it prevents unwanteds from installing :D

Unless you are stupidly rich, you are into 3D rendering or video rendering, there is pretty much NO point in getting a mac. You can do everything else, and more, just with a regular pc. And the PC can be the same spec as the mac, and half the price.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

sorry but if you use an administrator windows log-in

it bypasses most of the scripting / activeX protection in IE

always has done

 

that s how the viruses are written to exploit it.

UAC does not activate on 'add-ins' to MS programs anyhow

 

none of this is helping the OP>

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..

Its all very well to say 'Get a Mac', but I only do emails and the odd bit of word processing so I am going to get a tablet instead.

 

I can't afford a Mac, having just come off JSA for 2 1/2 years.!

 

Actually there are some pretty good Droid tablets out there which cost less than a PC and an iPad... Just thinking back I've seen a few on amazon only costing £40 :-/ Not sure how reliable they are tho, but they're only 7 inchers - LOL!

Macs being better at 3D rendering is a myth. This only applied to the PowerPC range of mac's which is a thing of the past :D I mean in 2011, I got this Macbook Pro 15 inch (top spec) and all I got for graphics was: Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB

 

Stupidly rich? I'm not stupidly rich at all :-/ Infact, I saved on money with this laptop. I got it back in 2011, with SSD and it's still higher spec than most other quad core i7 laptops :D Only thing that I KNOW I will hate is when they release a MBP with touchscreen... THAT will annoy me! :D

 

@DX: I'm sure we all concluded that he/she uses hirens bootcd? :D

Not a myth at all. The OS is designed to take MUCH more advantage of the hardware than a PC could. Thats why desaign professionals, game studios, music producers regularly use macs. Even pixar uses macs hooked up to their supercomputer. Macs are just much more efficient at doing what they do best. For everything else, theres windows.

Nowadays you can get a decent refurbished netbook at your local computer fair for less than £100. You can install a decent Linux distribution (that is not Fedora or Ubuntu) and you have a complete set of software without breaking the bank.

I like an admission that OSX is better :p

OSX is better for a whole host of stuff. It's just windows does everything else better. Thats why places like Nasa use windows as their main OS, and only use a unix distro ( self compiled) to do their number crunching.

In Windows defence, only thing I find it good for is business revenue. The amount of support one of my companies gives is immense in comparison to the other Mac based Scientific business. On the other side, I wouldn't trust Windows with the reliability when it comes to the speed of measuring the firing of a photon from here to the moon and back without crashing or freezing between point of release and point of capture. That is neither graphics or 3D, it's just pure Number Crunching my a bunch of Mac Pro servers running OSX.

 

*edit* literally to the moon and back thanks to their mirrors left from the lunar ranging experiments for observatories to play with

 

*lol jsut to add, hotmail and outlook.com use FreeBSD servers* :p
