    • 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.

I'm dealing with a bunch of unsavoury so+so's at the moment. havent let them in so I am in control....this could change though. I have been in the other position when I didnt know my rights and they walked all over me!!

They kept putting the repayments up and up until I couldnt afford it. then they wanted the whole lot in one go !!! B*****ds.

he cannot levy if he has not peaceably entered the premises

he cannot levy on the garden shed...only its contents and he cant break into the shed to find out whats in it. he cannot break in (yet) to take goods he has not levied on. he cannot levy through the window.

 

Once you have signed a walking possession they can screw you....I know! they keep asking for more and more untill you cant pay. then what happens!!!

 

Sometimes people cannot genuinely pay usually because of circumstances beyond their control. usually something to do with the banks being a**holes

 

once debts start to spiral out of control they get bad quickly.... and who can get their hands on £800 quickly to pay a bailiff off (who wont accept installments).

 

you obviously havent researched this site very well at all. There is all sorts of misery being perpetrated by these people.

 

I am not going to get drawn into a slanging match so this will be my last word on the subject to you. you sound as though you come from a slightly priveleged background where you have never had to deal with this sort of thing.

 

I hope that one day you have to and your words will come back to haunt you

Hi thermometer...

 

I have been in this position.

long before I found this site I had a bailiff call and I signed a walking possession. fine at first then after two months they increased the payments by 50% then after another couple of months it went up again. I missed one payment by a week so sent it along with the next months (thinking that this might placate them). no way they returned the cheques and I had the guy turn up wanting the whole balance in cash there and then. I had to make a few quick calls to friends, and arranged to pay the balance the next day.

 

To say I was traumatised wasnt in it. I can understand how people can do the unthinkable....I was nearly there. These guys once they get a foothold will keep turning the screws and playing by their own rules regardless of who it hurts or what rules they break.

 

rant over

 

however i am now in the same position again (sort of) this time I am in control

I have offered a certain amount that wont leave me short and have continued to pay it despite the protests of the bailiffs and their office. if they dont like it they can give it back to the council.

 

They arent getting in!!!!!

come on......

 

think about it

 

do the terms LIBEL, SUE, COURT CASE, DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER...ETC...ETC

 

have any meaning.

 

Plus we only have the posters view of things (which could be tainted)

 

would not be a good idea

 

whereas bailiff companies is a different ball game
