    • 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.

Was just listening to Cameron on TV.

He was saying how its not right that people who live in social housing

eg;Council house or housing associations,are not permitted to carry out any business from home.

He says there needs to be a change to allow this-and Its prob one of the best things that I have heard from the Election spins so far.

 

This could spur on lots of people who at the moment cannot be bothered to take the plunge into renting offices etc and all the red tape that goes with setting up a small business.

 

If I was certain he will be pulling this one off-I would certainly give him my vote.

Difficult to post without turning this thread into a political arena but my personal view would be that he will say whatever it takes in order to engage the politically apathetic. Unfortunately I believe this is what society would wrongly refer to as the 'lower levels' of society (basically the forgotten and downtrodden who rightly believe politics has nothing to offer them) and I guess DC is attempting to get this significant number to vote for him in the hope that he'll deliver.

 

Problem is the Tories hardly have a record of helping the less well off, the moment he gets in he'll be looking after his banker buddies and making sure that all of his very well to do colleagues are able to maximise their riches. Have lost any faith in Labour but liked Gordons attempts to eliminate child poverty etc, all of those ideas were great. As for Lib Dems have to say I'd like to give them a shot as this constant cycle of Labour/Tory control is so boring. Hardly a democracy is it when we just swap between parties every few years and then listen to the other slagging the party in control off when in truth they'd have acted in the exact same way. Really ready for a change actually as haven't voted for a number of years.

 

Vince Cable and Nick Clegg would do no worse a job than the others and having listened to the televised debate a few weeks back on TV Vince came out head and shoulders over the rest, the only MP to get two or three rounds of applause. Returning to the post though yes, this would be great news for many and a chance for them to help themselves, just don't believe DC is the true voice for that section of society.

Sure, as long as they have a big supply of fairy dust... :razz:

 

Just heard on the news that the BNP is prepared to offer £50 000 for immigrants to leave the country. After 25 yrs here, do I still qualify? It's very tempting!!! :-D I could pay off the mortgage, buy a lickle house in France, and just visit now and then until hubby is ready to retire and then up sticks for good. You've got to admit, it has a certain appeal!!! :razz:

That's awful! Do we really want our taxes to be used on paying people to leave? I'd sooner cart all of the drug dealers and similar pond life elsewhere at cost. Many immigrants simply want the same opportunities we're all extremely fortunate to have, yes we've worked for them but if you and your family were living in a hell hole wouldn't we all want better for ourselves?

 

It's a damn tough issue as we can't take the whole world in and yes, immigration has got out of hand but the BNP take on it is neanderthal at best. Intelligent solutions only please :D
