    • 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.

So... have you called the courts to see if they've got the paper work, yet? It seems to be taking longer than normal:-| Maybe they are reconsidering... now you've got a soliciter to send 'em a letter.:D

 

No, I had my finger poised over the dial button yesterday, but thought better of becoming 'that annoying woman who keeps phoning and bothering the clerks'! The uni have been sent a nominally increased offer along with our request for the contract....tick tock :-|

 

I also need to prepare for my interview on Tuesday so am on a 'stress reduction' course of action. :)

If they are interviewing you the day after a bank holiday, they are serious:) One of my rules of thumb is that one gets interviewed on the weekend or the day after a holiday... they pretty much already have the job:)

i will be off site for the next month or so. if you have any problems, feel free to report the post so a moderator can help you.

Thanks tomterm8, I really hope so 'cause I would sell my Nana for this job lol! Ok not quite, but I REALLY want this job. I could still stuff the interview up so I'm not going to get too confident about it being in the bag. I also need to get rid of the recently acquired nervous tick! :)

 

 

Pugsley if your reading this I will be sneaking into the newly opened student bar occasionally if I can get passed security!

My problem always was the student bar!

 

I am waiting until my toddler goes to nursery (September, hopefully) and I get the SLC sorted ( hopefully in a back alley with an iron bar, but court will do). Then I get my education back on track.

 

What with this debt/banks stuff and a case won against the local NHS PCT this year as my cv, plus general academic stuff, I can get a place. I nearly went 4 years ago, but I then found out I was pregnant.

 

And this time I'll avoid the student bar!

Nationwide-A&L-Halifax 1-Student Loans Company-NatWest-Virgin Media-Link-Capital One ALL WON!

Thames Credit -statute barred sent 13/11/08

BCW- prove debt letter- 14/08/08

Apex- CCA 14/08/08

Redcats UK- SAR 14/04/09

Call Serve- CCA 14/08/08

Littlewoods- no CCA letter 03/09/08- Lowells now

Wescot- CCA 19/9/08

Capital One/Debitas- now with Lowells

Just a quick update.......

 

Phoned the court this morning and had an er... interesting discussion with the clerk who seemed to think I had sent my paperwork to the wrong place. Several very confusing minutes later I established that the uni still hasn't sent their paperwork to the court..........It is now 3 weeks since they said they were proceeding.

 

Havn't heard from my solicitor either, so I have now got images of the uni debt collection department trying to find the contract and going through the student attendance records of all the tutors on my course, it will take them forever, there are 12 tutors not including 'guest' tutors. :D

 

I also asked the clerk if there was a timescale in which the claimant needs to file their claim after receiving an admitance, and he said no! I will ask my solicitor about this when I speak to him, I'm sure they can't get away with holding the paperwork for the next year (for example) and then filing.

 

Will update when I know more.

Maybe send them another 10p increment letter, and inform them you went to an interview for a permanent job...

 

How did it go, btw?
