    • 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.

Hi everyone

 

The lessee of a vehicle received a parking charge in the post a few weeks ago and ignored it.

They have now received another letter saying payment is overdue and they cannot appeal it via SIP as the time to do this has lapsed, but if we feel that there are exceptional circumstances we should write to them and they may consider.

 

Charge is dated the 32/12/17 at Walmer Street in Manchester.

The first letter advising of the charge was only recieived a month or so ago and was ignored by the lessee.

I’m assuming because the vehicle is a lease vehicle this is why it has taken them so long to get in contact?

 

The lessee was not the driver of the vehicle the date the charge was issued.

The driver cannot remember going that far back specifically what happened but the driver remembers the ticket was issued by the manned pay station on entry to the car park, by the time the ticket expired, the manned station was closed and there is only one machine in the car park to pay at.

(this machine hardly ever is in working order and may well have been out of service that night)

The charge was issued for exceeding stay by approx 10 minutes max

 

There has been no evidence provided of the parking charge being affixed to the vehicles window.

 

The lessee has never disputed a ticket before and was wanting some advice on how to proceed with this matter.

Should the lessee write to them and ask for proof of the car being parked and the ticket being expired?

 

Thank you in advance for any advice

there are other posts on this place so try and find them. As the car is a lease vehicle it may be very difficult to fidn out when the original NTK was issued unless they sent it to you. If they did post it up with the personal details redacted but the dates and times of the event and any other date left in so we can see the necessary detail. Also, is there photographic evidence of the event? If not they wont get far as that is a must as far as NTK only claims ( screen ticket protocols slightly different)
