    • 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.

We bopught a new bed from a local reputable retailer, the bed arrived on time in new condition, the bed is still in new condition, the problem is my wife really finds it uncomfortable and ended up on the couch last night, we only had it 3 nights, do we have any reproach on the bed as you cannot really get an idea of its comfort in the shop, its only when you sleep on it is when you can really get an idea, i have not yet approached the shop yet as its shut today, just thought i would get some input from you guys first, oh i find the bed really comfy as its a really firm mattress. we were both there when we picked it out

TOTALLY debt free as of 2007, Fantastic,

Your wife finds it uncomfortable but you find it comfortable? Is that right?

If so there is little really to be done. Comfort is a relative and not really measurable term. you could argue that it is not fit for purpose (sleeping on ) but if you find it comfortable then the seller could argue that it's just your wife who has a problem and not the bed.

 

You could of course have several people test the bed (stop sniggering at the back) and see what they think (or you could get an assessor to examine it). If the majority find it uncomfortable thn you should be able to ask for another one.

 

Do let us know how you get on. Oh - and have you tried swapping sides?

It maybe that you will need to get one of those foam matresses that shapes around your body when you lie on it. I think the material is called Tempur .. I have heard they are quite good.

Or a cheaper way is to put a duvet over it before you put your sheet on. My hubby and I have the same problem, the duvet saved the car keys in the ash tray senario! ;)

PLEASE DONATE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN

Then again, you could simply contact the retailer and explain the situation. They may be able to arrange a replacement or may even be prepared to refund you (although, unless the bed is faulty, they are under no obligation to do so). It might be worth contacting them just to see if you actually do have a consumer issue.
