    • 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.

On July 28th I purchased a car with finance through moneybarn from Imperial Motors. 

 

From the start there were issues and in hindsight I should have walked away, but I was just naïve and grateful that I was able to get a car. The garage supposedly fixed a fault they found with the car displaying a engine warning light being on. A. Owen motors supplied an invoice saying that they replaced the engine. The engine warning light now keeps coming on.

 

I have contacted imperial and they said they would have the car back to fix. However I have since worked out that Ahmed Alwaheeb is linked to both garages and since reading various articles I do not trust their word or work. i am yet to speak to him personally, he is always unavailable. I am now aware of what this gentleman is like regarding faulty cars. 

 

My garage has said the engine fault is complicated and will need a process of elimination to figure out the cause of the problem. 

 

I'm a right mess and done know where to begin getting this sorted as I feel such a fool.

Of course it would be helpful if you would give us a timeline and also do something about the car and how much you paid for it.

I collected the car on 28th July. A Ford Fiesta 14 plate.

I paid £5,500 through Moneybarn finance. 

The water jets stopped working last week of August and I had them fixed on 2nd September as I thought it would be easier for me to just pay for it. 

The engine light came on 3rd October and went into my garage on 6th October. It recorded a fault of P0420. 

My garage cleared the fault and I was told to keep an eye on it. 

The engine light came back on 25th October. 

My garage said it was the same fault code and quite a complex thing to fix. 

I then began looking into the paperwork I received when I brought the car and became aware of the people involved and the article in the Daily mail.

the fact that its linked to Ahmed Alwaheeb is not your problem its MB's.
