    • 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 would like to know how it is possible that i could incur an anauthorised overdraft charge of £28 for spending just a little amount over what i had , heres the thing - i dont even HAVE an overdraft

 

why should i have to pay for something that is clearly the banks fault... if i have no money in my account then it is their responsibility to make sure my card cuts off at 0 - 0 , thats when i have no money left, hence i cant afford anything else so why does it go over??

 

you dont go into a shop with 50p, go over and pick up a £1 loaf of bread , take it to the counter and say its okay mate i havent got the £1 , just 50p , i'll give you it later. you need to have the money - so the bank is purely at fault.

I agree, i think after this whole fiasco is over everyone should focus their attention on being able to get your money paid as cash (if they want) , we are at they mercy of banks and they know this - because of the BACS system we have now no option to follow suit - whats happening people, we are not in control , its OUR money , we should be able to get it how we want and a bank should be nothing more than a place to STORE that money , we control them - if everyone took their money out of the bank for just a day , they would fall

 

banks should not be huge multi billion dollar companies, fair enough they should receive a service charge for us using them to keep our money , but thats it, tey shouldnt be using OUR money to invest and make more money for themselves - like someone was saying about credit unions opening bank accounts for people, THIS is what a bank should be.
