    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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 all

 

I was international student and left australia with 14000AUD credit card debt, its my fault and i am not able to pay if off at the moment. I am in China now and scared that the credit provider will get a court order in Australia and make enforcement in china or they will sell my debt to a chinese or international debt collection agency.

I am wondering if they can find out that I am in china now and that they will do to me. I think only immigration knows my china address

 

My life in Australia was scawed by gambling and it's all my fault.

 

any advice will be appreciated.

This site is for advice to UK residents current or former.

 

You would need to obtain advice in Australia or China.

 

I don't think Australia and China has any agreement on debts for private individuals, so that a court judgement in Australia could be enforced in China. But you would have to check on this.

 

I would think that action can only be taken against you, if you returned to Australia. You may however, be contacted by a debt collection agency in China, if they can find you. They would have no powers to make you pay the debt, unless they had the authority of a court in China.

We could do with some help from you.

Up to you. You don't have to delete it.

 

I have been to Australia a number of times and there is a huge gambling problem there, particularly with Asians at the state casinos. I noticed that at one of them, which I think was in Brisbane, that it was mainly Asians who were gambling.

 

Best advice is to forget about this and move on. If you plan to go back to Australia in the next 10 years or so, you might have problems in gaining services there. It won't be a problem at the border, but when you come to try to obtain a bank account or rent a house.

We could do with some help from you.

Many thanks for your reply

 

It a shame that I was addicted to gambling. I can say gamble is the thing in the world.

 

I will just leave this post and maybe someone will give me advice.
