    • 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.

My daughters having problems with Sky.

 

They agreed verbally that if she paid part of her monthly bill that if she paid part of her bill they wouldn't cut her off

and she could make the difference up in the next bill.

 

She therefore reversed part of her card payment leaving approx £63 with the Sky and £25 reverting back to her bank account.

 

Sky insists the whole £88 was returned to her bank and her bank insists that only £25 was returned to her account.

 

Sky cut her TV etc off for non payment and she's now getting threats from a DCA on behalf of Sky.

 

Neither Sky or the bank will alter their position.

 

She stopped paying them altogether as far as she's concerned they're in breach of contract for cutting her off and mislaying her money.

 

I intend to make a complaint to the communication ombudsman but not sure what else can be done if both the bank or Sky are adament of their position.

 

 

Any suggestions?

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Ask your Daughter to check her Credit File in-case Sky have placed either a late payment marker and/or a Default onto her Credit Reference File.

NEVER telephone a DCA

If a DCA rings you, refuse to go through the security questions & hang up!

Already joined Sky but that doesn't alter the fact they have £63 of her money for a service they cut off and are chasing her for cancellation fees.

Well that's the service you get from sky..reverse the rest and warn them if they add any adverse data you will inform and complain to the ICO and possibly litigate.

We could do with some help from you.

Meant already joined virgin.

 

If she attempts to reverse the £63, they'll just argue there's nothing to reverse as the whole £88 went back to her account.
