    • 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.

On 30th April, I placed a large order with Argos online. Fridge freezer turned up when it was supposed to to, as did the kids bike and single bed frame. However, the set of garden solar lights I ordered have not arrived and despite chasing every week they have never been able to give me any explanation other than goods coming direct from supplier and they will chase it up.

 

I have now reached the end of my tether as on 31st May I was told they would contact me in 48 hours with the suppliers response. I have of course heard nothing from them so emailed them to say cancel the order and refund my money ASAP.

 

They have responded with this: I am sorry to read that you wish to cancel your order. I have notified the supplier of your desire to cancel. Once the order is cancelled, the refund of £25.99 may take up to five working days. Please note, in the event that the goods have already been despatched, a free return will be necessary before the refund will be possible.

 

I am not at all happy with this response as surely the cancellation should be immediate and the supplier must be able to say if items have been sent or not. Instead I am left kinda hanging not knowing if they will eventually turn up or I will get my refund soon.

 

Can someone give me advice on how to handle this please as I'm about to go off the deep end! Yes it's only £25.99 but they've had my money for over a month now.

Sorry for perhaps not being clear in my original post but rather than a general moan about Argos I am hoping one or more of you knowledgeable caggers can give me some advice and some legalese for contacting them.

I guess my questions are:

My contract of sale was with Argos I believe, as they sold the goods and took my money, is this correct?

Are they in breach of contract due to their failure to deliver and failure to resolve my complaint?

Should I get an immediate cancellation of contract?

Does this then mean Argos should refund my money straight away?

Are there any specific phrases I should quote when contacting them via email?

Should I be giving them a timescale in which to resolve this before I escalate it?

If I should need to get a body involved would it be Trading Standards?

 

All help and advice most gratefully received!

Sorry for late response, presume you have got your refund by now.

you are covered under the Distance selling regulations and your are correct Argos are the seller.

They have 30 days to refund your money from cancellation of the order and that is not dependant on the goods being returned.

If they are despatched it is up to them to arrange for collection/postage.
