    • Incidentally, congratulations on not buying the warranty. That is another Big Motoring World rip-off. See what we have to say about extended warranties and the Big Motoring World attitude to them is particularly unhelpful
    • well that google is from 2019, but the photos are certainly of someone driving on the public highway in/out by an ANP system, though the site of where the camera actually is, is not showing there are anpr cameras up by the low yellow barriers but they wont get from facing shots from there. interesting, needs to be checked if the road IS a public highway but on private land, cause as you say, if the whole area is max 4hrs , how does the hotel work< ?? must have a reg entry system.  now as for taking pictures of cars on a public highway then guessing the are parking ...erm.... i dont thnk thats right nor allowed under GDPR. dx  
    • Under the consumer rights act 2015, if a defect manifests itself within 30 days and you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund. If any defect manifests itself within the first six months of ownership then you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund subject to the retailers right to carry out a repair. If the retailer declines to repair or if the repair fails then you have the right to return. The problem here is that you have to assert their right. It's a bit ridiculous – but you have to do let them know preferably in writing that you are asserting your rights under the consumer rights act either the 30 day right or the six month right. I suppose that you haven't done this – which would be quite understandable because most people don't know that these rights exist and that they are subject to these conditions – the condition that the right must be inserted. It is frankly ridiculous. The dealers know it and we have lots of instances of this company delaying appointments et cetera and our strong suspicion is that they are simply trying to run their customers out of time. On the basis that you haven't asserted your rights, we now have to look to ordinary contract law. You are entitled to purchase a vehicle which is of satisfactory condition and which remains that way for a reasonable period of time. Clearly it is in satisfactory. They are blaming you. Has your independent inspection identified the reason for the defect? This will be important because as you have seen BMW are already saying it is down to your driving and you are going to have to produce evidence that it wasn't down to your driving and the you drove it absolutely reasonably and it was simply the condition of the car. Have you been without the car for any period of time. Is it driveable now? If the car was off the road for a substantial amount of time and was still off the road then you would be able to argue that this is a fundamental breach of contract and that you have been deprived of substantially the whole benefit of the contract and therefore you will be entitled to treat the contract as breached by Big Motoring World and insist on cancelling the contract. It may be that you will eventually be obliged to keep the car but have the repairs paid for. Have you had any quotations for the work that needs doing? I asked you questions about the MOT – but you haven't responded.
    • A 'violent left wing mob', comprised of a chap in a red hoody with a damp polystyrene coffee cup and a bit of wet cement, gets nowhere near cowering frightened farage some distance away on top of his double decker bus .. as farages security and support seem to film the incident grinning     Farage bravely flinches, grimaces and seems to almost burst into tears as the 'objects managed to travel a part of the way toward his position on top of his bus. His reactions honed by having a bit of milk splash him at a prior incident allow him to swiftly fall into a protective cower and grimace .. .. Sometime after, once the mob of 1 had been safely bundled away, farage apparently wipes his eyes of tears, and rising from his cowed and frightened pose, bravely shouts “I will not be bullied or cowed by a violent left-wing mob who hate our country.” .. however few they may comprise of.   https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/nigel-farage-cement-barnsley-reform-uk-b2560501.html  
    • According to Parkopedia parking is limited to two hours.  I don't know how accurate this is though. What were you doing there for four hours?

    • 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.

We'd like to spend about£300 on some law books. We will probably need more later.

 

It would be helpful if people thought that they might like to chip in.

We have no accounts and no way of showing that the money is correctly spent.

It seems that the best way would be if anyone who is interested might like to purchase and send us an Amazon Gift certificate to [email protected]

 

These start at £5.00, I'm afraid and need a credit card - so that might cause a problem for some people on this site, unfortunately.

 

here's the link

If anyone has any criticism of this request, please let us know publicly on this thread.

We aren't very happy to be asking in this way but we don't have any other ideas.

Any contributions will be thanked privately and we will post when and if the certificates amount to £300. We will post Amazon receipts so that people can see what has been bought.

 

Thanks

there you go, youre 10 quid richer. can you tell us how much you end up getting? also you should set up a wish list so we can buy the books for you - its a bit more trustworthy.

 

I'll second that. Not because of the trustworthy part, but because s/one might be able to get hold of some 2nd hand (ebay, anyone? :lol: ).

 

I got specialist books on autism & out of prints on ebay that would have cost me a fortune through regular channels.

also it would be nice to see just what youre buying with what we're giving you.

 

As I said in an earlier post, we would put up the Amazon receipts for what has been brought.

 

However, I can tell you that so far the list includes

Civil procedure handbook 2005 - pub Oxford - about £35

Civil Procedure Loughlin & Gerils - pub Cavendish - about £35

Toulson on Confidence about £135 new edition. - this especially

other contract, banking law, trusts books not identified yet.

Book of forms and precedents - not identified yet

 

Also, possible subscription to Lexis and or Lawtel at some time in the future but this is not on the present list

One problem with law book you have to buy the latest issue as new cases can change the law daily. So by using old books, you could be quoting a cases that has been over ruled.

you should look in second hand book shops, they have th ebig advantage of having other peoples notes in them too :)

 

In your dreams!

If you knew the time that this forum is taking you would understand that we don't have time to hunt around like that. I don't even have time at the moment to make claims against my own bank or one or two other companies which I have set my sights on.

 

I'm pleased that The Bank Action Group seems to be working but you had better believe that I am putting 100+ hours per week into it.

There is now a wish list at http://www.amazon.co.uk

wishlist is in the name of BankActionGroup

3 books in it at the moment

 

However as far as I can make out items in a wish lisy can only be bought in their entirety not by numerous individual contributions.

 

I don't think that it will work.

 

Gift certificates are the best way but if people rather not, or they don't trust it then just don't contribute. It's OK
