    • 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.

hello

i need a bit of advice regarding a debt with a bank by my late brother

 

its for 4k but the bank are now writing to me re:his estate

 

as it stands he as no capital but does own a house which i live in,

no probate has yet been done, but the bank are saying they will do their investigations to see if there is probate or information held by the land registry,

 

obviously his name is on the deeds so were does it leave me?

 

I'm in no position to pay the debt and don't see why i should,  but is really necessary for a bank to do this for a small (ish)  amount of money.

 

thanks

hi, there was no will,

it is possible he does owe money to utility company's other than that I'm unaware,

 

he has no family apart from me,

obviously ive inherited the house due to circumstances.

he passed away in April 2021 unexpected

no will in place

 

ive lived in his house since aug 2018 I'm the only living sibling,

 

the debt is through an overdraft/charges which come about during lock down. so the bank have put his account in my name and ive written to them explaining the circumstances and are assuming i am his nok with out even asking me.

 

ive spoke to the bereavement team today and they are saying theIr investigations are looking for any probate done and on the land registry,

 

to me it seams a lot of messing about for just 4k.

my intention is to do probate if i decide to sell, I myself have no family so no debt will be passed on.as for the bank ive not signed or agreed to anything, the bloke from the bank did ask me to send an email confirming the information regarding probate or land registry which i have no intention of doing so.
