    • 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.

Mind you, fee of £39 for a letter

 

0.50p envelope and paper charge

£1 postal charge

£5 petrol and parking costs to drive to post office

£32.50 time spent on letter at £16.25 per hour

 

Would the judge deem that fair charges?!?

 

Love the way you've edited this one due to spellin, dude. That's the sort of thing I do! :cool:

Cheers for that, i had a good read.

 

My thinking is that as long as i can justify that my fees are in true representation of the costs then i have a case.

 

It's not like my letters will be the same standard bog off letter they send out, mine will be thought about and personalised. Time is money!

 

Anyway i'm going to draw up some terms and conditions of my claim and fees associated. Nothing to lose as the closed the account last year!

I'll post on here my T & C's.

LOL, not quite yet!!!

 

Mind you i still know the manager of my local branch from when i used to work there.

 

Have decided upon £25 per letter but being a resonable type of man i won't charge them for the prem letter! I can break this amount down to be seen as a reasonable fee quite easily if i have to by any judge.

 

Now if it has to go as far as filing a N1 or MCOL then it will have to be £200.

Well worth a go, lost count on how many times i got charged and how many times they "reserve the right to vary their terms and conditions and charges"

 

I could even write on the T & C's that i deem my charges to be fair and competitive in comparison to charges other ORGANISATIONS charge!!!!

 

 

LOL
