    • 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.

I used a fake 16+ Oyster card for over a year that I obtained through a friend who was trying to help. I was desperate, stupid and struggling financially at the time.

 

I got caught on the bus, panicked and lied to the Inspector about my age who then took down my details. After explaining how I obtained the card, I received a court summons.

 

I came to this website and used your lovely advice and other people's experiences to draft a letter asking for an OOC settlement. This was declined twice. 

 

I just want to shout out to everyone that took the time to post their stories on here and all you people who gave advice as you helped me so much. I really struggled with mental my mental health and had to be put on medication.

 

I pleaded guilty with an apology letter to the court but for unforeseen circumstances did not attend court. I made sure to keep the court updated throughout.

 

A few weeks later I received the (attached) document.

Do you know if I will get a criminal record?

 

When I called the court the gentleman I spoke to said he was not sure but did not specify who to speak to.

Look forward to hearing from you guys.

you have been fined by the court

that equates to an automatic criminal record

because you didn't turn up and plead face to face and show your remorse to the magistrate.

 

you should have started your own thread 10months ago when asked too then.

no idea... thats not the charge sheet you got.

that's a letter you got as you'd failed to pay in a timely manner once already notified of the previous conviction.

Oh my gosh really. Thats so bad. I know I am really thankful that I ddnt get charged with fraud. I honestly thought that I would've. Thats why I thought to share what happened. Prayer and humbleness really helped me and ofc this forum.

Hey guys just thought to update you,

I requested police access and they advised that this is a non-recordable offence.

Hence, this does not appear on a DBS (standard or enhanced).

 

My employers did an enhanced DBS and the conviction does not appear.

 

I am so relieved and happy.

Thank you so much guys.

 

I don't advise doing what I did...

But if you find yourself in a position such as mine, just follow the advice from this forum and know that a conviction like mine it WILL NOT appear.

 

I have mad love for this forum, been such a massive lesson learnt
