    • 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'm a little concerned.

 

I moved into a property mid March. I rent, and

when I moved in the letting agent transferred our energy supply from Npower to Spark Energy.

I didn't want this, so as soon as the transfer was complete, I arranged to move to British Gas.

 

I had a final bill from Npower (though it took some time) for the first 4 weeks, taking us onto Mid-April.

 

British Gas then took over from Spark at the end of May.

Till then, I'd not had a bill from Spark,

 

I logged into my account and made a payment of £100 anyway, which was a rough figure I reckon I'd have used.

 

Roll forward a month, and I've still not had anything from Spark

- no bill, no email, no contact at all - but given it took some time for Npower to send a final bill, I was not surprised by this.

 

today I realise I have a voicemail (from a couple of weeks ago - I was out of the country at the time,

but not sure why it's only today my phone decided to let me know).

It was from a company called Allied International regarding my Spark Energy account.

 

A quick google shows these to be a DCA, which comes as a shock, as as far as I was concerned, no bill had been given to me.

 

Log into my account, and lo & behold, there is a bill for £138 - less the £100 I'd already paid = a £38 outstanding balance.

And I gather this has been passed to the DCA.

 

The date on the bill is 1/6/14 - but there is no way on earth that bill was produced on the 1st.

 

I logged in several times after making the payment on the 21/5, and there was no bill there.

 

Further, BG only took over the account on the 27/5.

 

Really, really hacked off at how I've been treated.

 

Not spoken to Allied (called, but no answer, and now I know the nature of their outfit, have no plan to do so).

 

Trying to get hold of spark to see what they have to say for themselves.

 

Are they likely to have put this on my CRA profile?

I spoke to Spark, who weren't all that helpful - couldn't even take the payment for the balance, or give me a contact for the complaints dept (as I want to understand why my account was handed over). But, they did confirm the bill was generated on the 18/6 - so why I have a voicemail from the DCA dated 19/6, is beyond me!
