    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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 don't like what's happening to this site. I joined just after it started up and it was a self-help site with people available to help you if you couldn't help yourself. Now it seems to be full of back-biting, bitching people trying to cause trouble and I DON'T LIKE IT. There should be room for tree-hugging, garlic-eating, guardian-readers and there should be room for those of us who do not fit into those categories. WHY shut the Bear Garden? It was a bit of fun, a laugh, off-topic and who the hell closed the "bear garden gone" thread? What's all that about? It seems to me that "some pigs are more equal than other pigs" and that's just not right. Give us back our site and stop the nonsense. And if you close this thread you are just proving my point!!!

And thats exactly how your post reads, but enough said by others.

 

I'm new to this site, I was hoping to get away from posters who dominate sites with just such comments.

Hi, unfortunately I don't hug trees, eat garlic or read the guardian but thanks for the welcome. Also I failed the giving up the smoking bit - which I'm really annoyed about, but now I'm not sure if I would be deemed as fitting into this site, but who cares, we all seem to have a common purpose to using the forum.

You have not spoken to many then. read the facts! how many newbies are bothered about petty squabbles. The fact is no one here is bothered about yesterday, only tomorrow and their claims. Sad as it is, that is what everyone is here for them selves. And sad as it is, it's what life is all about.

So I hope we all cheer up soon and be as one again:D

Ok, I'll answer this once.

 

What's all that about? It seems to me that "some pigs are more equal than other pigs" and that's just not right. Give us back our site and stop the nonsense.

 

It's not your site. It's not our site. It is Dave's and Bankfodder's site, and you and I are here by invitation. When the owner himself posts the above announcement, I think common courtesy is to accept that it is his decision, whether you like it or not. He didn't even have to post an explanation, yet did.

 

And if you close this thread you are just proving my point!!!

If I or any other mod closes this thread, it will because we are not prepared to put up with any more attacks on the team. Whether it proves your point (whatever that may be) or not is really neither here nor there.

 

You asked -in a none too polite manner- what was happening to the site, and I took your question at face value, and gave you BF's answer. If you don't like the answer, I suggest you pm him.

For once I absoloutley agree with Bookie :eek: :eek:

 

I personally think that closing the Bear Garden is a drastic move, though I totally understand the reasons. At the end of the day, this site belongs to Dave and BankFodder, and like Bookie says, if they want to change something, it is up to them, explanation or no explanation. I think that Bankfodder has actually done something right here by posting an explanation rather than leaving peoplein the dark, though I do fear that by doing this, the members will stay on the other site(s) that they have flooded to in the last few days.

 

I suspect, and this is only a suspicion, that Bankfodder and Dave have taken the decision to close the Bear Garden temporarily, to allow people to "cool off" mongst other reasons.

 

By saying that "if mods close this thread then that only proves my point" (or whatever words you used) is very petty indeed. If there is no need to take this attitude with mods when you've not even had any "attitude" from them in the thread.

 

Just be patient, and keep the faith!

It striks me that the reason this site works so welll is that people rely on other members, be they mods or "just" ordinary members. The advice and guidance given is free and everyone is pulling in the same direction.

 

However if we get a Trouble maker who either cannot abide by the rules or has malicous intent then they must be dealt with for the good of the site - so we can all eat garlic and hug trees in peace.
