    • 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 wasted 1/2 hour of my precious time reading all that nonsense from Mr enigma just to find out that he was promoting his own dodgy business.

I will never get that 1/2 hour back!

Appalling how some people prostitute themselves for a bit of publicity

And appalling how my posts on that thread have been edited without identifying that they have.

 

 

What is there , is not what I wrote...

 

 

What the OP stated, needs to be discussed and debated, in the open. The site team commenting on the thread are going from one extreme to the other, one vouching for the OP's integrity , another closing the thread down...

 

 

Both well intentioned no doubt, but more knowledge of the subject matter can only be acquired by discussion and open debate.

I did not vouch for the OP's integrity at all. What I did do was confirm that he was not a troll for the PPC. Totally different.

 

The thread was closed because it was believed that anyone following the advice could be giving themselves a whole world of grief.

One post only of yours was edited - in a later post you managed to get in the link that you wanted to and it was left, so I am not sure why you are making such a fuss.

 

In one breath you were attempting to paint the thread starter as a PPC troll and in the next providing a link.

Let me set the record straight here please and i would appreciate if this is left up.

 

1. I know the Parking industry inside out. I have seen all sides of it, i have been involved in for many many years

2. The business is not dodgy and I am not promoting it here At. The is now need. Considering the business has this week just done over 300 appeals. A large number of court claim defences and other work there is no need to promote it on here in any way. When you consider the amount of work we get , promoting stuff on here is not worth the time and effort for the return you would get. We are very successful at what we do and we are proud of what we do

3. Not only are we a business but people who work with us are members of the BMPA (dont confuse that with the BPA). One is going to be a trustee of the BMPA (it is going to get charity status)

4. I also do a lot of Rep work in the county court giving up valuable time to help people defend themselves against parking companies.

5. People can think what they like about the new handling of IPC cases and you can have your views as is your right. However it is going to work. This new method is going to be propagated outside of CAG. I wont advise anyone on this forum to use that method as I respect the admin teams wishes on this matter.

6 I would really be interested in your new strategy of dealing with IPC cases.

Come on mr enigma!

Some of us may be not as clued up as you claim to be, but common sense must prevail here.

If I gave an address linked to me in any way shape or form, court paper would be deemed served and any ccj enforced.

If the driver remains not reachable at that address, the registered keeper will have to explain why.

People are traced all over the globe for debts, no way they would let you slip through the net just because you claim to be outside the English border.

These companies are well known to go out of their way to gain revenue through all sorts of dodgy practices, they won't stop chasing anyone just because they claim of living north of the English border.

No wonder why they closed the previous thread.
