    • 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.

The lady who spoke for us at Birmingham was lovely and knew the right things to say at the right time. It saved either me or hubby getting tongue tied and messing it all up :D

hi guys my first time on this forum. I wanted to ask you guys a question i hope you can help? i have quite a lot of debt mostly unsecured and i have made arrangements with pretty much all my creditors. But i find that after doing that i have no money left. So because of this i decided to put my flat up for sale last year in order to reduce my debts of which obviously ones mortgage is the greatest. i pretty much picked the wrong time as every offer i have had as dropped out and the price has dropped everytime. (staruing at £390k down to £345k!!!). i have found a buyer we were days from exchanging.

i have 2 charges on my house one is wellcome finace and the other is a unsecured loan with RBS that was changed. now in order to sell the flat alll charges have to be removed. i owe the 3rd charge 20k and they have agreed to take the charge off for 4k from the sale and a monthly payment of £340.

But Wellcome who i owe 14k have declined my offer of 7k from sale and carrying on making my original payments of £340.

i'm livid with this because i have told them that for sure i will get repossessed because i can no longer afford to pay my mortgage i already have arrears of about £5k. it seems to me that they are purposely pushing me into repossession. i have tried to be responsible and these guys are actually going to push me into having more debt. is this right ???? and i want to sue them in the event that i get repossessed. surely wellcome have to be responsible in wielding the power of their charge on my flat.???

Hi mandingo69 and welcome to CAG.

 

It would be much better if you could start your own thread and post all the details there, as you've sort of hijacked another thread :D

 

More people will see your thread then too.

Hi kgrant

 

Have just come out of our reposession hearing today. Like everybody else has said as long as you can show the judge all will be paid before the secured debt ends then they are fine with that. It really isnt all that scarry (although i was petrified when i went in). I ended up going in by myself as hubby had to look after kids the judge was great. He stopped me from saying to much and asked the right questions. we are with Kensington and they are not nice. The solicitor who was there for them had instructions to accept no offer they want the house. The judge saw through this and it went against Kensington.

 

we owe nearly £7000 and have offered £100 a month and it was accepted by the Judge.

 

Dont panic. Everybody is here for you. I wasnt in that court room on my own as I had everybody from this forum with me. You will too.

 

Hope this helps

 

Regards

Olives
