    • 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.

Excuse me while I get on my soapbox for a moment (and this is a general rant to everyone, not directed at you in any way ;))

 

but data storage these days is cheap, and in such there is no reason at all to have backups of your photos and important documents.

 

Excuse me while I jump up on your soapbox :wink:

 

All important data should be backed up. Cloud storage, whilst inexpensive and easy to use, is vulnerable to changes in company policy and relies on someone else maintaining the hardware. Burning data to CD is OK for short term storage (three to five years), but disks do not last for ever. Also, data formats change, so there is no guarantee that future software will be able to read the files.

 

If you have images stored on computer, consider getting them printed on to photographic paper and then store them in a dry cupboard. When your hard drive fails, the cloud disappears, or the CDs are unreadable, you will still have the prints to look at.

 

I have seen too many people lose their baby and other important family photos after a disk failed.

Excellent job there by alchamist.

I'll add one thought: Microwave oven use is horrendous for disconnecting wifi.

 

So make sure it isn't 'pinger' meals ruining your game night
