    • 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.

If you can't beat them join them Spammie. :p In Oxford we were wrapped up nice and toastie outside under heaters so something to consider.;) There are a few other non-smokers going too I reckon, including Bookie and Sillygirl, plus of course you know Consumerdude if he can make it too.:p

 

My nephew is getting married on Saturday and we're travelling there on Friday. I'm sure you know I won't miss a CAG meet if I can help it, but my sister would keeeeeeeeeel me if I went to London the night before.:rolleyes:

Way to go girl!!!!:grin:

 

Yes, Well done! Sorry I can't make it but hope you all have a great time and I'll see you again at some meets up here next year :)

I'm sorry you can't make it too Jan, but it's understandable seeing as you've not long got back from Oxford!!

 

I hope to be able to save some pennies, and more importantly, get some time off work next year, so I can attend a few meets... working every saturday is a total pain in the butt... :rolleyes:

 

Whats the latest on meeting place then. The Harp in covent garden was mentioned..

 

Not confirmed yet... I'm hoping to get to Trafalgar for 6 to see the Carol singers and then get to the pub around 7.30...

 

Depends a lot on who's going and where they're coming from etc.

 

We can Definitely pencil the Harp in as a starting place if all are agreed.. :D

 

 

Oh My God it's snowing... :shock:

The Harp would suit me fine as I will already be imbibing in Covent Garden after work on Friday, wouldn't end up going the wrong way! My brother had a drink up at work and instead of changing trains at Croydon ended up in Brighton.... got home about 12.30 instead of 9.30...

Depends on the office do on Friday lunchtime (and a pass from the Domestic Commanding Officer!)

 

Might pop-in for a couple of snifters...

 

PS - what's the secret sign? I'm not rolling up a trouser leg in this weather!

 

Weeeeell it's actually both trouser legs and a frozen turkey under your hat, but if you can't manage that... I'll have to think of something else..:cool:

 

I'll pm you my mob if you like, then you can just give us a ring when you're in the vicinity.

 

I'll pass on the descriptions of the Motley crew that have turned up, then you can decide whether you stay or or run like the wind... :D
