    • Hello, After seeing all of the posts about BMW on here I really wish I hadn't even considered them! I bought a used car from them over the weekend, one specifically which had a reversing camera and cruise control in the advert. I was foolish at the time of purchase and didn't check to see these functions work on the test drive (totally my fault). Now that the car is home I've checked and checked and neither of these functions are available. I even checked on Parkers and it seems that no Skoda Kamiq '21 models come with any parking cameras at all. When buying the car, I was told all that was needed was 'Four signatures and £500' to secure it. I was never shown any of the documents, and instead the sales rep opened a box on his iPad and asked me to sign. He had been complaining about the length of time some customers take these days all throughout my time with him. (Again) foolishly I signed. In my email inbox I now have four attachments from BMW, one of which is my signature under a letter which says that the cars don't need to match the advertisements online, or have any of the features that a sales rep talks about. I realise that I've made mistakes in not doing my due diligence here, but thought I might as well ask the experts here if I have any rights left to claim that the car was miss-advertised, or if I unknowingly signed them away? Thanks in advance

    • 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.

If they check CCTV and have clear evidence you stole before, they might involve the Police. It then depends on whether the store wishes to pursue a prosecution for this shoplifting offence.

 

If you are lucky, they won't find any evidence and you hear no more.

 

You might receive a letter for retail loss prevention which is simply a letter asking you to pay towards the stores security costs, due to your shoplifting. If you receive such a letter come back for more advice.

We could do with some help from you.

what will happen if the police show up? with the current situation, would i need to pay anything else?

 

What happen if they try to contact me and they can't? I am going to leave the country as I said

They would ask you to attend the Police Station to try to resolve.

If at all possible they would try to avoid further action,

by trying to get the store to accept payment for the goods taken.

But the store might want to pursue it further.

 

If they can't contact you,

then i would think a letter would go to your address asking you to attend the Police Station a few weels later.

 

But you are asking hypothetical questions because of your worries.

You need to stop and just see what happens.

 

 

At a Police Station, if they are seeking to question you under caution, you can ask for a duty Solicitor.

We could do with some help from you.

I am just guessing, I am to scared right now. It is my first time and I don't know what to do. i think that if they caught me on the CCTV the police have already taken me or something. I don't want to have any trouble when I'll take my plane

first time of what getting caught but you've been shop lifting before

 

 

its an anon forum

so unless your username gives details away?

then yo've no worries..

 

 

spill the beans.

 

 

just to put things in perspective.

 

 

we've never heard of anyone being arrested off a plane for shop lifting..

 

 

 

 

you are seriously sadly taking some things

that certain posters here have said very too much seriously

and if I were to be honest

 

 

they should know better than to post stuff that can be seen as frightening for newbies that don't know better..

 

 

so ... is this the only time those 2 days

or is this a habit that could have all the instances eventually pieced together and you do have a serious issue.

 

 

the law is the law in the UK

shoplifting is A CRIMINAL MATTER

but only those empowered to prosecute you can do so

the rest of 'em are willy waving..........

am always wary of certain threads that cld poss be awol at first sight. as dont want anyone to waste their time on it.

however. my last q is of importance. as if not arrested, with any kind of bail, then it seems there wldn't be any issue in leaving the country. of course, it all depends on the full circs, partic re a criminal matter.

so do bear with my questions/posts before passing judgment, they are not without means. :)

I wasn't arrested and now I am at home. The police show up and make me pay the goods and that is all, I will leave in a week so I am scared if they come during that period of time.

As I said this I did it yesterday too but that's all. I honestly think that if they realise what happend yesterday they have already send the police to take me but I don't know how it's works. and I am just freaking out and i don't think i will be able to sleep

no they didn't send the police 'to take you'

you've not been or will you be charged, cautioned or arrested.

 

 

but you've gotta understand that shoplifting is not a game

and neither do the retail sector treat it as such...

 

 

good i'm glad you are freaking out

so you should be

you broke the law ...end of!

 

 

but you've not stolen the crown jewels nor murdered anyone

so arrestment is an extremely remote outcome now later or ever.

 

 

seriously stupid thing to do.

but it doesn't have any effect upon your liberty or freedom.

 

 

sleep tight...........
