    • 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.

A NEW parking system has been introduced forcing supermarket shoppers to register their car in-storeicon1.png to avoid a fine.

Aldi in Leek is the first of the discount chain's Staffordshire stores to have the ParkingEye system installed.

Shoppers have to input their registration number into a computer terminal inside the store in Haywood Street to get two-hours free parking. Failure to register results in a £70 fine.

Aldi said it had introduced the system after receiving complaints that customersicon1.png were struggling to get a space in the store's car park.

I don't see how this really helps with the congested car park as anybody is still allowed to park there without using Aldi...

If I lived in Leek I would see that as a challenge. After all, park your car there, sign in as you go past and then go to the other shops-easy rebuttal to all those moaners but hasnt solved the problem for Aldi or the other shoppers.

PE make money and Aldi lose it, great idea whoever thought that one up.

They didn't cancel it on the first appeal though did they? Unless you included a receipt.

This lack of car-parking space in many Aldi stores is down there policy of building shops on small penny-packets of land that other supermarkets won't touch. This leads to not only small car-parks, but lack of storage space. Hence all the complaints about the aisles full of pallets of stuff, especially at Christmas.

Funnily enough, today my place of work received a flyer advertising a new Aldi that may be built up the road. 90 spaces apparently.

It asked for any views and thoughts of the local population....

 

If it happens, I forsee a double dip a day from the car I use for work!

I wonder how many of these stores are at least technically breaching their planning permission in doing this?
