    • You could forward it to yourself but before you click send, take out your personal details. Does that help? Although I run this forum I am not a massive techie either! But we would like to see it and also to understand who is who – dates, et cetera. What you typed above doesn't really give many clues and certainly only contains one date and time and doesn't identify the order in which they were sent to each other.  
    • Hey, How can I put a copy of the email on here and still keep it confidential? I really do want to give you all the info you need but I'm not tech at all.  I've just emailed the mechanic using your quote as a template. I will let you know what the reply is. Thanks so much everyone

    • Thank you. We like to see also the exchange between you and the mechanic/garage telling about the gearbox. Also, send an email to the garage whose mechanic called you:   Get this email to them as soon as possible. Hopefully it will draw a response which will confirm what they say – but even if it doesn't draw response – as long as there is no denial then it is fine. Even if there is a denial, it won't be too important but it would certainly be nice to get a paper trail which supports what you say. Please send this off and come back here and confirm that you've done it

    • 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.

Hi....... all!

I think the banks will reword their T & C and call them FINES and not charges...

They are looking for a loophole now to stop anyone from reclaiming the charges back...and to be able to keep money coming in on people who go over their agreed overdraft.

 

Not sure now about the fines versus charges... I think they are the same.... BUT the banks will find the word or sentence that makes it legal etc for them to take your money...

 

I think they make enough money from their customers when they take so long for the money to clear . It is floated on the Stock Market* and millions must made this way?

 

I wouldn't mind them doing this if I got a percentage for letting them use my money...but that will never happen!

 

I also feel that the banks are to blame for the demise of the Post Office...:rolleyes:

(Pensions are paid into banks now and that means that most Senior Citizens don't get out as much or see friends etc because they would need to arrange times etc...whereas when it was paid by the PO it would be a certain day,I think it was a thursday, and most would be out getting their money).

I wouldn't have needed a bank account if my money was still paid by book at the PO, but you just get railroaded into these things..

Wages are the same... I hated having to have my money, that I worked hard for, put in a bank where they can take what they want from you before you even see it!

It might have stopped armed robbery on wages but now the theives can take millions from accounts that are not as secure as you were led to believe.. The fact that some banks have been fined for leaving sensitive documents in unsecure areas is mind-boggling! :o

It makes me want to go to my bank and DEMAND that they show me how they deal with the paperwork, old debit/credit cards etc...all the banks should have incineraters... not just shredders(if they have any, can't say I have ever noticed)!

And I bet I know the answer they will give... "we can't show you that area because it is sensitive.." Yeah right...!

 

Sorry.. going a bit off tangent here...having a bit of a rant... I will leave it at that. I'm getting really het up so I need to calm down a bit....lol :rolleyes:

 

 

*Please note that I am unsure about the banks using our money on the Stock Market.. I would need to do a bit of research. But it is what I have been led to believe.
