    • 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.

Ok so for the past 8 days ive had signal loss issues few times in the day which also results in my recordings failing when i check to why it says signal loss, i emailed sky the first day it happened and has no reply from them also tried to get in contact on there phone number but says not available some big maintenance work going on at the moment.

 

Ive basically had enough i could be in the middle of watching something on tv and the signal will just drop sometimes for a couple of hours, also the broadband is awful, i keep getting oops sorry your modem appears to be offline when i click get back online button nothing happens

 

basically had enough and thinking of ****ing this whole thing off and going elsewhere i am paying these £60 a month for what, a dropped service every day.

 

Is there anyway to get out of this contract with an early termination fee also what ombudsman do sky use and i want to appeal this as they use BT for there engineers which are by far the worst people i have ever dealt with the first time my broadband wasnt touching 3mb

First you will need to allow Sky to try and resolve the issues.

 

You can still phone them , it just tells you they may be issues but if you hold you will get someone.

 

The you can go to ofcom if you have exhausted all avenue.

 

 

 

Lets see if we can help with the issues.

Do you have your own dish or is it a communal dish?

Have you reset your hub/router? are you connected wirelessly or by ethernet?

Hi with regard to dropped signal on sky box I had similar problem and other as in box freezing this was due to problems with the power supply in the box, all I could get from sky was there is no problem and you would have to pay for an engineer to come out. I took box to someone local as I could use BBC freesat box with no trouble they said power supply they installed new components in power supply and all ok.
