    • 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.

Hiya Van, If you get any response from HSBC at all it will be from Uncle Colin Langdale and his merry men at the Leeds address, but all roads lead to him anyway so your branch, head office at Canada Square or Leeds are all good.

Hiya Van, I'm sure a gent of your obvious worldly experience will find a way to view the reenactment of the epic battle of Rorke's Drift on Saturday without incurring the wrath of the natives of your tribe :D and it sounds like your better half's friends hubby could do with a bit of light relief too :|

 

We know exactly what you mean, we have never met but I know there are people here I would do a lot to help and I'm sure they feel the same :).

 

We can only hope for a good clean hard game on Saturday to provide a spectacle fitting of the world cup final.

 

all the best

Hiya Van, I would hope your DB doesn't know a group of old reprobates like us :D and from the few of her comments you have passed to us I don't think she would be that impressed :rolleyes:.

 

Hopefully your local medical people know what they are doing, there is a great deal to be said about not being in hospital, not least of which is simple moral of the patient, its much nicer to be at home with the people and things you love.

 

Best wishes to you and your DB
