    • 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

I was on Incapacity Benefit for ages since 97.

Went to all of the medicals for that and they said I could not work due to depression. This has now changed and I have more illnessess.

Since then I have gone from IB to ESA first Cont Based now Income Based.

 

What I would like to know is

 

How many times do you need to see an advisor. I have been approx 10 now.

I see the same one everytime.

It seems to me that she is trying to push me back into work. She even tried to get me to go on training courses for plumbing etc.,

When she new full well that that would be impossible for me to do.

I have various illnesses COPD, Osteo Arthritis in both hips and hands, Raynauds plus carpol tunnel.

I have letters from hospital and drs. which she has seen.

I am due to be reassed with a new form to fill out in Oct 14.

She is now trying to get me to do a course in IT and Retail.

Do I have to go on these courses?

Please bare in mind with the medication I am on by the time 12pm comes I am very tired and most of these courses are all day.

I cannot switch times of my medication as some are slow release and need the time space. Please I would be in so much pain I would not be able to move.

Any advice on what I should do?

I am due to see her again on the 11th June 2014.

I am limited to the amount of time I can type etc., because of medical conditions.

Use to stick to help walk and also splints on hands.

I said to her it is going to be hard for me to actually hold down a job, because of medical conditions and hosp appts. plus some mornings I cannot get out of bed because of pain.

She said we have to be seen to be doing something.

Any suggestions what to do.

I feel as if I am being pressured into something that may be impossible for me.

Thank you for reading this.

Forgot to add I have been seeing the Advisor for ESA since last Jan 2013.

I also have 10 Medications on my prescription every month.

Is it best to just wait it out until it is reassessed with another form in October?

I am also waiting to see a Hip Surgeon.
