    • 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 dont know if this is the right place to put this thread, but I'm at my witts end.

 

My partner, not my daughters biological father ( he's worse, he doesn't believe she even has an eating disorder!)

 

How do I explain to my partner about her diagnosis. She doesn't eat much and is close to being admitted to hospital. His comments are quite hurtful not just for my daughter but for me. He says that my daughter can make herself a sandwich, she's just being lazy. Anorexia is not about lazyness its about self image. When I pointed out to him it was partly to do with self image, he said I was wrong.

 

I'm Autistic and find communication difficult at the best of times, can anyone suggest what I can say to him or show him??? Please help anyone

Hi THNX4THT

 

It's a difficult situation. I think 100% concentration on your daughter, it's difficult to convince someone of a serious situation when they are in denial. Anorexia Nervosa needs everyone pulling in the same direction, saying everything is o.k. is counter productive and sends mixed messages to your daughter. How about sending him leaflets with symptoms to look out for, but also the possible consequences if it isn't recognised and treated.

i'm so sorry to hear you're in this difficult situation.

Anorexia [or any eating disorder] is difficult to explain to someone. he needs to understand it's a mental illness that your daughter has no control over.

i'm guessing your daughter hasn't been able to make him understand her disorder?

is it possible for him to go with you & your daughter when she sees any medical proffessional about her disorder? i just wondered if you could get them to talk to him.

i also wonder if you could get someone from an Eating disorder charity [like b-eat.co.uk] to talk to him. i'm not sure if you can, but it's worth asking a charity how they can help you.

other than that, i think giving him leaflets/books & website information is a good idea. i used to internet to learn about my boyfriends mental illness, my own disorders & to try to help my parents understand my disorders.

 

my heart goes out to you & your daughter

Thank you so much, I realise it's my daughters condition and its hard for her but as a mother, watching on as your daughter basically starves herself, is almost unbearable.

 

It would be great if my partner could go along to the sessions, but my daughter hates him already, even before the Anorexia took root. I wonder though if someone there might be able to explain it to him, rather than combining the session with my daughters, or slap him round the face with a wet fish, anything to get him to understand.

 

my daughter may be able to physically make a sandwich, just mentally not eat it. Perhaps he doesnt believe in my Agoraphobia. I may be physically able to go out on my own and stand in the middle of town, but mentally I would rather die. 2 different situations, but both mental health conditions perhaps not so dissimilar, except Anorexia I think is far more dangerous, I mean me sitting in doors all the time, isn't going to kill me.

 

I'll suggest to him he has a read on the internet first and if that doesnt work, some leaflets and if that doesnt work, a visit to her clinic, where the big guns can explain it to him.

 

Thanks for your input x

If you pop something like, " Help for people with eating disorders" into a google search (or whatever search engine you use) there are loads of clinics being set up all over the country. There is no end of data being provided because this has become a very serious issue in the young.

 

 

Genetic link

 

Anorexia is recognised as the most deadly of all psychiatric illnesses, killing more people than alcohol and drug addiction and depression.

 

The outcome for patients remains very poor - only half the people who get it will recover.

 

New understanding of the disease is coming from research led by Prof Lask, who set up the eating disorders unit at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

It really is a shame that your Partner cannot be a little more understanding - however, it looks as though there is animosity from both sides here :(
