    • 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.

There is No change when it comes to PIP.

 

The answer is in a link I posted here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?421048-ATOS-WCA-Ending&p=4503059&viewfull=1#post4503059

 

 

Personal if I been waiting over a long period of time, I would contact my MP http://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/contact-your-mp/

 

The more people who contact there MP, the better !

Thanks every one , bit confused though how ATOS are still being allowed to run PIP if on some level their , " departure " must surely reflect on how badly they have done and handled things , isn't that a bit like a guilty criminal being fined but still being allowed to walk free / continue his ways ?

ATOS are being allowed to continue with the PIP Contract (Along with other Government Contracts they have) despite their absolute failure in performance on all Contracts they hold, is because the Contracts are awarded by equally incompetent and useless Government Departments, in particular Iain Duncan Smith's department the DWP.

Margaret Hodge the Chairperson of the Commons Public Spending Watchdog has quoted about the DWP "All their programmes are on the verge of meltdown."

The fall out between Atos and Work n Pensions won't affect you if you're still in Ireland. Social Development have a separate ongoing contract, so in due course you'll probably be reassessed via another ESA50 and fact to face interview.

What does it mean for ESA claimants i am in the support group and so far have had no re-assesment,

 

If your area assessments are carried out by ATOS then you will not have to have a re-assessment until the "new" assessment contractors are in place and up to speed, so it should be in the region of 2 years but that is open to change at any point in the future.
