    • 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.

Legislation has changed recently in this area whereby the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) Level 2 was being 'phased out' which would make Level 3 the lowest grade counting against the Adult : Child ratio.

 

I wouldn't give up, if you have gained level 2 then you should be able to continue working while studying towards your level 3. Your local council are likely to offer a 'bursary' which pays the local college direct for your study course.

 

Good Luck

Have you checked with your local council to see if they offer a grant or other funds to complete your course? Most seem to offer this.

 

The hardest part in getting the funding from the council's and onto a course seems to be having a 'practical work placement' but you seem to have that one covered so it would be worth investigating before you give up on your chosen career :-)

 

There are also companies that offer apprenticeships but again my knowledge is covering the EYFS but that doesn't mean they don't cover the PW that you are working towards, it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Check with your local council for the bursary and college placements before you give up!

We have ladies who are in their 30's studying towards their Level 3 :-)

 

I will leave the HR advice on your constructive dismissal question to the more experienced contributors here.

Good luck either way!

You don't have to do the EYFS, you should be able to do the next level in your chosen qualification (PW) which should then enable you to continue with your current employer and meet the needs for the legislative requirements at your centre. In my opinion it would be worth exploring! If you get the information on this and take it to your manager it shows initiative, she may even offers an alternative solution.

 

If you answer Emmzzi's questions at post #3, I'm sure she will be able to help as she really knows her HR stuff :-)

 

Your personal contract is important for you moving forward with this, our contracts actually state "to partake in further training as required to fulfil the be brought into line with government legislation"............ or words to that effect. Apart from any Ofsted changes there are always refreshers required in other areas like 'Food Hygiene' & 'First Aid'. Your contract MAY state similar!!!
