    • 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.

If people don't watch live TV, on the TV Licencing website there is a page (quite well hidden), where there is a declaration that can be filled out stating that a licence is not required because of reasons a,b,c,d etc.  

 

Once this is done, they leave you alone for 2 years, but ask you to notify of any change before the 2 years is up.

 

If you don't do this, they hassle you.

 

The inspectors have a sneaky tactic of knocking gently on your front doors, so you think it could be a friend or neighbour. People then up open up the doors and are caught watching live TV.

 

 

We could do with some help from you.

Never paid never will, I have a box folder full of their computer generated threat letters, there's about five in total which are simply sent out at intervals, occasionally they change the font and colour and send a completely different format, but they all result in the exact same reaction, file away for a rainy day.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

They are so useless. For years , in our old house TV licencing were convinced we were 2 separate houses. Despite having paid our TV licence, we constantly received threats under the previous name of the property to pay up, face fines, prosecution etc etc. 

 

I rang and wrote to them to explain, but still the silly threats rolled in, nobody ever came to visit.  I was actually quite looking forward to actually explaining in person what idiots they actually were.

We could do with some help from you.

Just engage with them. If you should have a license, you really ought to buy one. I haven't had a TV License for years, don't need one, never watch TV.

Fill out the disclaimer on the TVL Website and you are OK for two years. Never had anyone check.

CEASE AND DESIST HARASSMENT

Dear Ms Doubtfire,

This is notice to you to cease and desist your continued harassing activities against and towards me concerning TV licensing.

TV licensing has already been informed to the fact I have no legal requirement for a TV license and I do not accept that I am obliged to repeatedly update you of my circumstances unless they meaningfully change.

The absence of any update after any time period does not give you cause to begin again your campaign of harassment, a position I am willing to submit to court.

I have kept a record of each harassing communication you have sent me.

If TV licensing continue to harass me after any time period I reserve the right to bring a claim under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 without further reference to you.

Sincerely,

Whomever is prepared to bring a claim.
