    • 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.

Just venting out my frustration.

This being scratched my mirror and walked away in October.

I plastered facebook and local forums with her face.
Today I saw her again in the same car park.
Completely arrogant to the fact that she can go around damaging cars and get away with it.
She arrogantly said that she knew nothing about it and drove off, but somehow she looked at my car 20 yards away as soon as I told her.
Was with her daughter setting a great example for future generations. 

No worth reporting a scratch or insurance would double for next 5 years.

Moaning over.

Thanks for reading.

  • honeybee13 changed the title to Silver FordFocus. Scratches car and walks away.

I understand. 

What i don't understand is how the justice system arrived at this point in which criminals are vehemently protected and victims risk being sued for asking help from the justice system. 

It's all gone wrong.

BTW, I don't think there's any doubt that she scraped her door against my mirror, unless incidentally at the same time she swung the door open, an ostrich lied an egg on my car and when she swung it again to shut it a velociraptor jumped on the roof.

Her children will grow up thinking it is ok to damage others' properties and be smug about it.

Many times I hope I could go back in time when spending a couple of months at her majesty expenses would've been a problem.

A more direct person might have just got their revenge without presenting evidence that they had a cause on a forum

 

... not that I condone that in any way shape or form ... on a forum

 

 

😉

 

It is clearly justifiably arguable that that person would be as bad a the perpetrator, but it sometimes seems getting biblical (eye (or even two) for an eye) could arguably be the lesser evil in the long run and in certain cases ....

Not that the law would agree - as it shouldn't.
