    • 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.

Hello.

 

I used to use Uber shortly after it launched in Manchester, but have found that their service recently has gone downhill and is less good value (nearly always get surge pricing and the drivers are often late or rude). I've been onto their website to deactivate my account and remove my payment information - but have found there is no option to do so. I can add as many credit/debit cards as I like, but once they're on uber's system there's no way to remove them, despite Uber's help pages claiming otherwise! I've tried this on multiple devices/web browsers, all with the same result.

 

I've tried contacting them on twitter and through their website - though I'm still to hear a response. Short of cancelling my card, is there anything else I can do? Has anyone else had any luck trying anything similar?

 

Cheers,

Dracion

 

E: I apologise if this is the wrong place.

Hi Scott.

 

Sorry for the confusion. Uber are a 'private hire vehicle' company effectively acting like a 'cash-free' taxi service.

 

Effectively, it works by you (the rider) requesting a vehicle to come pick you up from your smart phone - providing you have a payment method available. The driver acknowledges your request from a phone in his car, and comes to pick you up, and you takes you to your destination. At the other end, you get out and get automatically charged based upon the time you spent in the car, and the route you took - the driver has a gps device fitted which tracks the route and the time it took to work out how much to charge you (options to dispute this are available, but I've never needed to use them).

 

I've found though that a lot of the time you get charged extra via 'surge pricing' when it's busy (or i suspect having deliberately few drivers) and that this has meant it's not economic vs a conventional taxi.

 

Hope that makes sense!

 

Best regards,

Dracion

 

EDIT: Just seen the above post, will make a new thread there. Cheers.
