    • 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.

I *MAY* be coming to this event after a very generous offer of accommodation. All I have to do is sort out the time off work and getting there.

Hey - I get back to Glasgow on 7th, so a meet the following day would be ideal (jet lag permitting). It does get very busy in there of an evening, so be prepared for avenue switch if it's busting at the seams....!

Any ideas about where to shift to when the Horseshoe gets busy? I'm a real westender - admit that town exists, rarely go there.

 

I could ask my students about pubs they avoid - that might give me a clue.

I was thinking about the Goose. Never been there, but had a student who worked there. Always liked the sound of it.

 

Sounds like a plan.

 

Re Rob's moby exchange thing. Let's just do it nearer to the event. If somebody competant can work out who's all coming and who I should pm I'll send mine around - I'm fixing to meet Jen before the event and mozey on around with her anyway. I guess some of you greenies know each other anyway. If one of you boys lets me know who else to contact I'll send you mine.

I just tossed a Glasgow/Edinburgh coin and it landed on its side. Guess we'll just have to enjoy two get togethers :-)

 

Edinburgh's nearer but Glasgow's no problem and as long as the company's good, who cares where.

 

I ain't an alcohol drinker: got an alergy to the stuff: not only does my skin break out in a ferocious red, burning, itchy rash of huge hives but one whole dram and my legs fold up.

I'll be getting an X24 bus from Glenrothes to Glasgow via Dunfermline. I might go through and stay over with my sister. Buses from Edinburgh leave every 15 minutes or so.
You're welcome to get a run through with me. I think I'll be taking a couple of folk.
