    • Isnt there some indication in there of at least intent to inform arbuthnot? IF he wasn't then it would seem to be Vennells decision to keep him 'uninformed .. Although seems to me if arbuthnot was unaware - he was either incompetent or should have very detailed records of denials. Seems vennells is constantly at the core of all the lying about all these issues though.

    • 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,

 

I'd be grateful if anybody could give advise me on my rights for the following issue.

 

I bought a pair of waterproof boots from a well-know firm that sells outdoor & rock climbing gear.

The boots have developed cracks on the panel that runs around the shoe and is attached to the sole.

 

The sole itself is fine.

The boots however are no longer fit for purpose.

 

I showed them to the shop assistant who told me that it's general wear and tear and there's nothing they can do about it.

I asked if they could repair them and was told I could (buy) and try a tent repair tape, but that they weren't sure if it would work.

 

I am in doubt as to whether that is really the case and was wondering if anyone knows what my rights are in this situation.

Thank you.

Any advice will be much appreciated.

 

Sweet Justice

Thank you for your replies everyone. I'm guessing that I bought them over two years ago. I'm sorry, my health condition affects my memory. I can never give precise answers, especially when it comes to dates and timelines. Two years may seem like a long time, but since they are snow boots, it's only for a short time in the year that I actually wear them. For the mileage I've covered, they should have lasted longer. I'm a slow walker as I have fibromyalgiya. So again, it's not like I've been very active/hiking in them. Is it ok to post picture here to explain exactly what the damage is and why I feel it shouldn't be classed as wear and tear but a fault with the material used? Thank you.

 

Edit: They were £60. They have been redesigned and priced at £80 now. Oh and another thing. When I first bought them I left a review on the website. It would have been a good way to determine the date of purchase. However there's no reviews on the website anymore. I am wondering if others experienced the same problem.

Sorry. It seems your post got lost here. feel free to post up pics, so we can see if its is an inherent fault or if its wear and tear.

 

Also, how long after you bought them did they fail?

as it is over 2 years it has to be a latent fault, ie a manufacturing problem so the retailer is within their rights to tell you it isnt to do with them.

I agree that wear and tear is unlikely but materails do degrade with age so you should find out who the maker's rep in the UK is and get on to them to ahve them properly assessed. An exchange for a nice new pair would be a reasonable outcome but be prepared to accept a voucher towards the cost of another pair of boots.

You could ask whether they ahve been tested by a company like SATRA to detemine what should be the lifespan of a pair of the same.

Hi

 

Thank you for your reply. I am sorry I can’t remember when the cracks first appeared. I believe that due to the location of the damage and short time I’ve worn them (in the winter for short trips to the shops etc), the damage should not have occurred at all. Here are the pics showing the damaged and I am convinced it is due the the material not being flexible enough to bend with the natural movements of the foot.

 

edit: sorry image too large to upload. I don’t know how to resize it. Will try later God willing.

problem is the burden of proof is for you to show unless there is a known problem already with them, hence asking them about whether they can show you thieir testing results. Salt can degrade leather and most materials if left to dry into the fabric so again you will ahve to show that you took reasonable care of them.

If I bought a car and it had a 7 year warranty that would be void if I diont keep the oil topped up, radiator fluid levels correct and various other small things that need to be done. likewise the service record will have to be fully up to date so knowing about recalls on that model, known faults etc make it easier to argue that any problem is under the warranty. you will have to do your homework if you wnat to get anywhere with this
