    • 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.

From what I gather he does .... apparently much is documented about GIDS....

 

Ummm yes - a most delightful chappie that failed at most things. His CV is a pack of lies, his military career (all 6 years of it) was lacklustre - general dogsbody with the intention of avoiding being shot at!.

 

Would I employ the guy? No way, for the main reason that he failed at so many things that he had to invent where he went to university, pretended to have a management qualification (failed to even turn up for tutorials and never qualified at anything!)

 

He tried to become an award winning author - but failed miserably, his political career went downhill, that is until he spotted something that he could make a mark at - cutting one of the biggest costs that any government faces - Welfare - oh what a lovely boy you are!!

IDS is a massive massive failure as not only an MP but as a man..his constant outbursts when things don't go his way are amusing as he is to stupid to realise that he is the joke everybody is laughing at, but still he continues with his deluded ways. the man should wake up and smell the coffee, no one takes him seriously anymore and even members of his own party are laughing at him :)

A cup of cà phê Chồn by any chance ?

 

The man talks excrement, so he might as well drink the results of a bowel movement.

Well I hope people dont start voting UKIP as they are more right wing than the tories.

If we had a Tory UKIP (conkip) coallition it would be bad news for anyone unemployed, ill or disabled.

the best thing to do is let IDS or GIDS get on with making a complete tw*t of himself, say something to him or challenge his pathetic policies and you've lit the touch paper..he'll explode and make a fool of himself like he always does haha :)

Am I right in thinking there are no disability premiums with UC? I know this was reported some time ago but has this changed? As I understand it, people with disabilities could be considerably worse off. Or is there alternative proposals to ensure this doesn't happen?

There will only be the premiums for what is currently the WRAG and support group. I know there were a lot of people moaning because they'll lose the severe disability premium worth around £3k a year.

:RaeUK:

 

For 'components/premiums' read 'capability for work elements'.

 

As with incapacity benefit to employment n support allowance there'll be transitional protection so long as circumstances remain unchanged.

I think moan was the wrong word. Too tired to think of something better.

 

I am really not happy that this is something that the government has kept quiet about.

 

Apparently, they're halving (or taking a big chunk from) the disability premium for children too.
