    • 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.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Just a quick comment for later witness statement (if ever needed)

Extract from Fleecer's trade association:

13 Consideration and Grace Periods on Private Land
13.1 Motorists must be allowed a sufficient Consideration Period so they may make an informed decision as to whether or not to enter or remain on the Private Land. If a Motorist chooses to reject the opportunity by entering or remaining on the Private Land without reading terms and conditions, they may be deemed to have accepted them immediately.

Very strange wording in the last sentence, however... Your son obviously did "read the terms and conditions"... Didn't he?

That would involve, parking up, finding the closest sign, then reading their stupid terms and conditions, which would quite easily take 4 or 5 minutes. (Especially after reading the micriofiche sized writing at the bottom of the sign with your magnifying glass.)

Here's the location on Google spyview. (Zoomed in on one of their signs.)

https://www.google.com/maps/@53.4732382,-2.2457304,3a,15y,155.66h,91.42t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1siL2FO-FdHIOQNTSfC_gBfQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

And here's the view of their "entrance sign" around the corner, only about 5 or 6 ft from another (conflicting) sign.

Note that all of this conlicting signage is on the same street... "Annie Horniman Street".

My son got the attached whilst picking his partner up from work back in July.

Presumably, his partner works for the business onsite?

Try approaching them about cancelling the PCN...

The PCN does not comply with the protection of freedoms Act 2012 -the Act that covers parking  in private car parks. This means that only the driver is resposible for the charge and the keeper cannot be held liable to pay anything.

As nicky Boy has already explained, the sign at the entrance  which should be the sign that forms the contract with drivers does not explain what the terms and conditions are. so it is only an offer to treat  not  contract forming.

In any event your son was not parked there he was stopped inside his car waiting to pick someone up. the definition of parking always includes the action of leaving the car unattended.
