    • 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.

Hi guys! Hope this is in the right place. Been reading the forums for a while and thought I'd join to ask a question.

 

After 2 looong years of arguing and fighting with ATOS/DWp, they have finally admitted my WCA report "did not meet their quality standards" and ATOS have since offered me £200.

 

I'm actually gathering evidence against them as I hope to start legal action but my question is, if I accept the £200 would a court see this as a full settlement?:!:

Well done!

I don't think my medical was carried out appropriately either and I feel the subsequent report to be fraudulent and a slur against me.

I'll be following your story closely, you've done very well indeed.

Same here and I imagine most individuals who have had the displeasure of having to deal with this company would agree. I too am thinking of taking legal action against both them and the decision makers.

Hi, I thought my report had been sent to the wrong person when I received it as it clearly wasnt about me.

I complained to every one, M.P, the DWP, ATOS but it just seemed to make them dig their heels in deeper.

I even had a member of the DWP tell me she thought I had been dealt with badly.

They admitted I did have some limited capability to work but they wouldnt change their minds.

I went to tribunal eventually and won but it was a truley horrible year and I just know I will get called back soon.

I'll add a little to this. As I have mentioned elsewhere, I went from 0 points to Support Group after a reconsideration. That was one fight I had.

 

I then turned my attention onto ATOS. I have three arguments with them. One that they have lied and my medical evidence proved it.Two, They lied about what happened in the assessment room and three, they actually (the nurse that is) wrote a note to the DWP saying that I was a **********,************, and whole load of other personal and offensive insults. That note was typed up on the 'Harmful Information' page. Fotunately I got hold of a copy of it via FOI.

 

Up to now, they are refusing to answer questions about that personal report other than to say that the nurse has received a written warning from ATOS.

I've been pushing them to explain what was actually said in the assessment. ATOS are backing the nurse up to the hilt, and it has now resulted in one of their senior doctors reviewing the complete assessment and re-writing it and sending it to the DWP asking the DWP to substitute this new report with the original!!! You can imagine what it is like - they are hoping that I will be kicked off ESA. Will they never stop? They won't stop at anything to cover their tracks.

 

There is also an investigation being carried out by the Nursing & Midwifery Council over the nurse's personal comments about me.

 

Finally I am starting an action in the County Court against the nurse and ATOS as the employer over those personal comments as they are agreed with my solicitor as being libelous. By the way they have now tried to hide the document by having it run through with a black marker pen - and I have a copy of that sheet as well.

Hi people, i too was offered the £200 insult, and i do believe that this would be an end to the matter if accepted, I was also paid £200 by the dwp for their part in the matter to which it was just a letter and paid not asking anything so i believe action there would be able to be taken.

ATOS however i have been argueing with about the ammount and they are not interested in asny other offer at all, and to add insult they have actually said they are not in the wrong even though they admitted they were previously.

If you do however manage to take action against ATOS please pleae let me know and get in contact with me as i cannot find a solicitor anywhere to take on ATOS fullstop.

The offer of 200 quid is quite frankly an insult and they actually made me quite ill on top of my already ailing conditions.

Look forward to your reply and good luck.
