    • 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.

I lied on a loan application


Recommended Posts

I have looked around the forums, but can’t find anything that helps me solve a problem I have.

 

Around 2005, I took out a loan for £25k. Thinking back, I’m certain that I owed the bank about £7k for a previous loan. The new loan repaid the old and I got the difference.

 

Jump forward to 2012. My final payment for loan 2 to the bank is made. I had never missed a payment and the loan was repaid in full.

 

Here’s my problem … I lied on the loan agreement. It has always bothered me. I was unemployed at the time and the bank chap basically guided me through what to write on the loan application to get the loan. I claimed to be employed and earning … (I actually can’t remember what I said I earned).

 

The issue I have is that I know I lied. Even though I repaid the loan, I lied. Even though the bank chap explained what I should write on the paperwork, it was me that lied. I understand that people will probably find this post amusing / silly as the loan has been repaid, but I find the guilt overwhelming.

 

My question is, is the fact the loan was repaid in full, on time, any kind of mitigation for the fact I lied ?

 

Many thanks.

Its always wrong to lie, but if the loan has been repaid in full the bank has suffered no loss. Yes I think it is mitigation.

 

Is this just a moral problem or is there something more?

Hi,

 

I'm sure Steampowered will clarify this but, as far as I understand it, it would have only been a potential issue if you intended to take the money and run. It's clear by your actions that you never intented to cause the bank a loss, as such I cant see any significant (i.e. criminal) wrongdoing. Try not to worry about the moral element, I can tell you wouldn't do it again. And that's enough in my book.

Many thanks for your comment, Seqenci, I appreciate it. I was hoping things would be viewed as you wrote. Honestly, I don't know why it bothers me so much. Other than the readers here, no one knows what I did.
