    • 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, and Hello to those of you that know me already!

 

My daughter has a loan with SLC and had to drop out of Uni after a year do to Mental Health Issues, that was about 4 years ago, she is still having these issues and has been on ESA for most of this time.

 

Because of this,

I have been dealing with the debts that she built up (due to mental health issues) and

 

I have managed to sort most of them apart from SLC,

 

I have given them proof that she is on ESA but I wont given them her address

as she is a vulnerable person and isn't tough enough to deal with it.

 

She gets about £52 per week to live on,

 

I pay her rent so that I know she will have a roof over her head,

everything else, gas, electricity, food, clothes, travel, she has to pay for.

 

This morning SLC have phoned me to say that it is their Policy that even if you are on benefits,

you have to pay something and he suggested between £10 and £30 pounds per month!

 

I asked him if he could live on that amount of money and he declined to answer,

 

I also told him that if he kept ringing and harrassing me for payment, I wouldnt be amused.

 

I also stated that once she was fit for work and was earning, she would make arrangements to pay.

 

He them told me that they might have to take further action,

I wished him luck taking a vulnerable person to court for a debt that they wouldn't

be able to pay because they are on benefits.

 

I asked him to send me an income and expenditure sheet

but I could do with some advice as I am not sure where to take it from here.

you sure this was the SLC and not a fleecing DCA?

 

SLC should know that no payments are due because she is not earning any wage.

so thus below the threshold

 

somethings not right here.

Possibly there is an overpayment because she dropped out after a year. If she completed the first year then didn't go back, there will be an overpayment for the period covering the summer holidays.

 

My daughter was in a similar situation in that she dropped out after a year

following which she claimed carer's allowance to look after me.

 

Despite being told she could not claim anything until the 1st September a

s she had received a full loan for the previous academic year,

SLC wanted the money back.

 

Our complaint went right through to whatever the independent tier is called (sorry, it's a few years ago now)

where they confirmed that it was an overpayment

but because of my daughters situation (carer, on benefits) it should have been written off.

 

I'll see if I can find any of the paperwork and expand a bit if you think this might be the cause of the problem.

During a degree course the 'academic year' runs from September 1st to August 31st for SLC, Grant and benefit purposes.

 

I've looked out the paperwork, and my daughter's complaint went to the Independent Assessor.

 

She found that the University had (wrongly) reported that she withdrew from the course on the last teaching day of the year,

whereas in fact she 'withdrew' when she didn't arrive for year 2.

 

As a result, there was no overpayment.

 

Additionally she found that had there been an overpayment SLC should have used their discretion to write it off

because of the circumstances in which she withdrew (she needed to look after her disabled mother)

and that collection activity should have been put on hold whilst there was an ongoing complaint.

 

Outcome

- if the OPs daughter withdrew from the course after the end of the first year, there shouldn't be any overpayment.

 

If before the end of the teaching year, then her circumstances (withdrew due to health issues) should mean they write off any overpayment.

 

Complain to SLC, if you exhaust their complaints procedure, go to the Independent Assessor.
