    • 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 Jansus,

 

Please don't *ake *e look the brilliant guy who pulled it off!

 

Without you angels, I would have been sitting on *y doorstep, next week.

 

*y sincere apologies for *y warped sense of hu*or and trying to *islead all you Angels.

 

Jansus, I'* trying to *ake you feel better about your *, but it is very hard to do.

 

To confirm: Yes, he allowed *e to pay less than the original contractually agreed a*ount of £ 258.28.

 

Well, Jansus, as a result of sitting here in an elated state, I have now resorted to extracting the *ichael. Sorry, it's Ell's fault for being so good at what she does!! Please get the Q-tips out, prise off the *-key and clean away the stickyness, 'cause thats what I think it is.

Bye Angels!!

 

 

 

very clever - thought it was bad news when I started reading.

 

So to be clear - you can pay less that the actual due payt for now to give yourself ti*e to sort yourself out?

 

Sounds like a good deal .

 

Well done you.

 

Would type *ore but so *any words have the letter *:D

Don't worry DoubleU - I'm not a bloke, just a 50 something female passionate about giving subprime (and other) lenders a hard time - I've seen what the threat of eviction can do to people and if I can do a little to alleviate that then I'm happy :)

 

I wish I could put every possession case in front of the judge you had today!

Hi guys 'n gals.

 

Back from having had a restful week-end. :D

Wow, just starting to realise the luxury of having a good night sleep!! Not quite on top yet, but I am encouraged enough to re-double my search for work. Let's hope I can land something soon, minimum wage will do, anything that can help me to keep these guys from my front door is welcome, even mine disposal! (talking about deparate. . . . )

 

Anybody know where I can find a sample letter to send to the other debtors (all unsecured) to ask them for the original signed agreements? :?

 

Oh, and while we are at it, I reckon my bank ows me about £3000 in unfair charges. :evil: Where do I go for that?

 

(See guys? that is the effect you have on people!!! You change them from whitless zombies into (pro) active campaigners for justice!! ;)

 

Bye

What you guys are now responsible for. . . . . . .;)

 

You have given me the courage to start taking my future in my own hands and fight!! :evil: (with the asistance of the 'Caggers')

So, today I have spend 4 hours in writing letters to my creditors, banks and any other who dares to phone me about me owing them money., some of whom are becoming extremely peeved with the slow repayments I have been making, whilst looking for employment. (£10.=/month).

From what I have seen in different threads, they have no idea of what's coming. . . . . . :mad:

Tomorrow I will print and post the first letters and let's see what will happen.

This will potentially be another thread, but fear not, I will remain true to you guys and gals and keep a close tab on this one.

Thank you all,

regards

DoubleU

DoubleU, make sure any letters you send are by recorded delivery, keep copies of the letters and print out the signature receipts from the royalmail website a few days after posting - keep those with the relevant copies of letters.

 

It's a good idea to get a ring binder and punched pockets, use one pocket for each company that you are dealing with so it's easy to see how each case is progressing.

 

Good to hear you are feeling so positive :)

Good morning to you all! ;)

Once again, thanks for all your comments. Reading them, certainly makes me feel a lot better at the start of a new day. It sort of gets you started in the right frame of mind. Ell, thanks for that, I will certainly make a note of your advice (I would be stupid not to) I didn't know that you can 'lift' the receipt signature from the royal mail website :eek:

Another piece of invaluable information! Folder and/or ringbinder is also a good idea, and I will start them off today. (This is starting to look like a unpaid full time job! Then again, if I look at the potential savings a may make by doing this, it will definitely be worth it. . . .

I'll keep you posted. . .

Hi DoubleU, isn' it amazing what a good night's sleep can do!! When you do letters to your creditors, PLEASE DO NOT SIGN THEM type your name or use an alternative signature to the one that you normally use:wink:. You can't be too careful. Keep us posted and we will do all we can to help. Also, you can check on Royal Mail when they have received your letters by putting in the recorded delivery number from your stubb. It is always a good idea to print this off, then you know who signed for it at the other end:grin:

Been away so have entirely missed this problem with - and victory over - Blemain until today. What a dreadful experience but what a brilliant result.

So pleased for you. They are absolute terrors. Does the fact that the judge knows about them mean that word is generally out? Curious.

 

But mostly so delighted for you. Would have been praying and crossing things along with the others had I been around.

Hi Caggers!! :D

 

Regarding signatures of letters to creditors etc:

 

In view of the warnings regarding the 'lifting' of signatures off letters sent, I feel it a bit strange, signing the letter and then crossing the signature out. I have a signature with a little bit of a 'flourish'. This 'flourish' creates a space in the signature. In this space I put the date on which I post the letter. That date corresponds with the recorded delivery slip that is received from the post office. I believe this to be safer than crossing the signature, because each new signature renders the older ones 'out of date'. As a result, 'creating' pre-dated documents by 'lifting' your signature puts the wrong date on it and is therefore un-usable.

Bye gang!

Back to pestering the creditors :cool:

 

PS: I believe it is not possible to send recorded delivery to P.O. Box numbers. How do I find the address of the Abbey Bank, anybody know?

I've sent recorded to PO boxes and it's always been signed for.
