    • 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.

photo shows you followed another car into the box, so as i've said several times, you are on the backfoot here already as you should not have done that anyway.

are these the people you have appealed too?

if not you should do so.

Council PCN's were decriminalised years ago, there are no 'court proceedings'??

They are still saying right at the end of the letter that "you can view CCTV evidence of your case online"...?????

Crazy!

The letter (1st page) also says that the email they sent on 15 Jan gave you an email to contact for the CCTV footage.

I've looked at your post on the 15th Jan quoting from that email, and you don't mention the email contact details.

Maybe check what the original email says again?

We could do with some help from you.

Yes DX

I emailed them on Thursday

I called London Tribunal and outlined my case he was very nice and informed me without a charging certificate he has no way of knowing what stage this is at

he said I could forward what I have to them for them to look over it without an appeal of sorts or as I do not have documentation I need to bring it to them maybe wait till I get charge notice and appeal to the court ...

although he said that's long winded and on checking with his manager he informed me that the court would not issue anything to me without charging cert.

We discussed the option to go to a solicitor and get them to write the local authority a letter .. however this would be more costly than the Penalty charge notice.

Now it seems all I can do is write to my MP.

Honestly I want to tear my hair out !

It shouldn't be too soon for a reply to my request for a rejection letter as they wrote this letter to me today should it?

DX I hope you're still reading this as I do you too Nicky boy

You wont believe this nonsense

they said no matter how far this goes I wont see CCTV, Cllr was a bit stand offish at first but after today omg!

Truthfully I was so stressed I was just going to log on and pay as the system had reset to £65 I was going allow them to bully me into paying.

However there was a box for me to appeal the ticket so I did !

I sent it through to the councillor the moment I had lodged the challenge.

Get this............. 5 minutes later I received an email copy of CCTV some 33 days after requesting it.

(I haven't watched it yet I've been in the hospital all day} 

I send a message to cllr to tell him they have finally sent through the CCTV ending my message they are jokers they really are.

Cllr responds saying " I've received this now too " ... he is as dumfounded with this as I am 

Email written to him says

" Following legislation, another 9 days must pass before we are allowed to register the PCN as the traffic Enforcement Centre and send out an order for recovery. They are likely to receive the document early April "

What on earth is going on here ???

now you need to view the CCTV footage within 9 days.

if the footage shows you entering the box (i'e following another car through it) when there was not enough room for you to fully exit the box when you entered it, then i recommend you pay it ASAP.

if the footage shows the box was TOTALLY CLEAR when you entered it, with enough room for you to completely exit it. then you should not pay it.

It sounds suspiciously like the process that's just been followed should be the regular way of doing things and they just screwed up the first time around?

tell the councillor/local MP

TfL don't do court.

yellow box infractions were decriminalised years ago.

You must not enter the box until your exit road or lane is clear. However, you may enter the box and wait when you want to turn right, and are only stopped from doing so by oncoming traffic, or by other vehicles waiting to turn right.
