    • 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.

Hi guys

 

I have a stupid idea the other day to buy a new washing machine from Brighthouse. After I'd come home and thought about it (after the staff in store where lets say... pushy and I fell into their trap!) I realised that paying £1068 for a washing machine on sale in Currys for £349.99 is ludicrious.

 

I phoned Brighthouse and asked to cancel my order, they told me I cannot, I explained that the hire purchase agreement I'd signed and that is sat in front of me said I had 14 days to change my mind - They've told me that I can only change my mind once the product has been delivered.

 

I have a feeling they're trying to get me to have the washing machine delivered and then tell me because it's been delivered I cannot cancel?

 

This is stressing me out, I simply do not want to be in this agreement with Brighthouse anymore, I'm not bothered about the £8 I paid to them already..

 

Thanks in advance

You need to write to them to cancel the contract. DO NOT do this over the phone. Write out or print out a letter and take it into the shop where you signed up.

 

If they try to deliver the washing machine, refuse it.

 

Thank you very much I will pop down to the shop armed with a letter first thing, I was thinking about sending a recorded delivery letter also to their head office just to be on the safe side?

 

I do take it that I have 14 days to cancel at any point, regardless of what Brighthouse say?

I have looked on their website re cancellation and can find NOTHING.

 

Do you have your agreement and can you scan and post the T&C's?

 

Sure just give me a minute and I'll take a picture of it.

Good Afternoon thatman,

 

It sounds like you have been given the incorrect information, for which I apologise.

 

Every customer that signs up with us has a mandatory 14 day cooling off period meaning that if they change their mind, they can cancel and terminate the agreement and have a refund on any monies paid.

 

As part of our Single Price Agreement, customer's also have the benefit of 'Returnability' which means they can return their product at any time and the agreement would be cancelled with nothing further to pay.

 

We kindly request that you email [email protected] and quote your reference F0687118 if you wish to discuss this matter further and we will be happy to help.

 

Please update the thread with any feedback you have.

 

Many Thanks

Thank you very much - I will send an email now.

 

So basically, people could use a product for 4 weeks, then send it back and have no penalty to pay? That seems slightly strange to me! Either way, I want to cancel before delivery.

Enough said, you now have it in writing from Bright House.Still take the letter to them to cancel the agreement,then covered both ways

Thank you very much! :D

 

Thank you Jason.

 

Thank you also for your help, glad I have managed to get out of this before I get in too deep.

 

I will think carefully next time before signing on the dotted line!

I think you need to send out a brief to all your staff clearing their knowledge gaps. So maybe to send a brief to all the stores me thinks?

 

We could do with some help from you.

Theyre probably doign the right thing here as they know they have been called out in public and on a very very well known forum. Couple this with the very negative publicity in the press and media lately... :)

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..
