    • 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.

Morning all,

 

thought i'd just post to say hi to all you fellow CAG'ers, been lurking on here for a while after being pointed in your direction from moneysavingexpert.com.

 

really glad that there are sites like this one helping out those that have been messed around by the banks and other financial institutions for far too long, it has been far to easy for banks and the like to hide behind there confusing wording and complicated procedures, this linked with lack of knowledge and general apathy, has been ended by sites like this. if the banks hadn't got me so messed up financialy i would be donating money to keep this site running....... if (when) i get my charges back i will certainly do that.

 

but claiming back charges is only a small part of it, if i don't make changes to my lifestyle i will be back in the same position in a years time.

 

I do have some questions but will check through the FAQ's and old forums first cos i'm sure someone will have asked before.

 

all that leaves is to say hello, and look forward to all your help and support in the future, and when i'm sorted helping a whole load of other newbee's like I have been helped.

Hi Matt,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

You sre starting in the right place with the faq's.Please also find your banks forum and start a thread, head it jt2k6 or matt V (banks name)

Also for a feel of the process involved in reclaiming unlawful charges read some of the successes in that forum.

The banks template letters can be found in this link;

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/

Stick to the timescale given in there and don't let the banks push you about or delay things.

Also there is live chat where you can ask questions, many people are there to help.

 

Good Luck,

Happyolddog.

 

If my advice helps please tip the scales left.

Hi JT2k6 & Mrs JT2K6

 

They don't get away with it, I think before tou go much further it would be a good idea to switch banks;

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/welcome-our-forum/58685-do-you-need-parachute.html

Currently the Halifax are doing a free switching service and offering a £100 incentive for doing so. I know they are another of the worst offenders but at least you can get a few quid out of them.

I will keep an eye on your thread.

 

Good Luck.

Happyolddog.
