    • 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.

Thought it was Steve cos of his comment "I fell out early having been 'on the pop' since midday" but maybe he didn't mean fell literally.

 

But thinking about who Tilly would laugh sooooooooooooo much at, now I suspect someone else.

 

Jan

 

That was 'falling out' in the military sense not literally. I had to pace myself for another shindig last night. A good do - but had to wait three hours for a train back from Aldershot this morning (wrong type of frost or something).

 

Just got back and enjoying a fortified coffee.

 

BTW - there was a MaccyDs, Burger King and Weatherspoons all in Leicester Square - but all present seemed to have 'Shakespeare Syndrome' by then!

My sense of direction (or lack of it) hadn't been helped by my consumption of two Long Island Iced Teas and two double vodkas at the works do earlier, plus the pint and half of Double Chocolate Stout in the Harp, I did flag a bit in the Shakespeare with another pint and half of Elephant Beer as they didn't have any of the black stuff!

 

I missed the bit about Tilly breaking the loo... worst I've done when drunk is push a sliding door of its hinges...

 

Chilling out indoors now with a nice glass of sherry - had Sunday lunch with some friends and this was their pressie...

 

Tilly, I can get another 15 Inch Johnny for you in the New Year, I need to get another couple of puppets and they have a three for two offer on in January...

I'm worn out, just made it back from the CAG meet! Only joking guys, I caught Crimbo fever and got into the spirit of the season so best thought get busy with pressie buying and deck the halls with bails of holly tra la la la la la la la la!!

 

I spent the Cag meet evening in fabulous company, The Harp in Covent Garden was voted the best pub in London I believe, real ales and a very friendly sociable atmosphere. Good to meet you Steve hope we see you again when you can. We then left and whisked away to Holborn in black cabs. With our first three in front we said 'follow that cab!' We spoke of far away places and I drank Rose! Lily the Pink comes to mind! The clock struck to catch our trains and said goodbye to Sillygirl and Consumerdude. I saw a feather and three angels whisked me away to an enchanted house. They left a note saying 'what happens on tour stays on tour'

 

Any peeps who couldn't make it hope to see you in 2010.
