    • 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.

I took out a quick quid loan in 2010 for £200 which i defaulted on after 2 rollovers. Which i forgot about after losing my home, breaking up with my partner then finding out i was pregnant all within 3 months so the loan was the last thing on my mind.

In march last year carter forbes contacted me (harrassed with calls and texts every hour) and offered me a reduced payment plan for the loan which at that time was over £500. I agreed the repayment plan at £80 pm and i stupidly gave them my bank details to make the first payment. A week later was pay day so as you do i went to get my money to find it had all gone. Bank was useless in sorting this out told me to wait for it to show on my account. I then logged on to my email to find carter forbes claiming i defaulted on my payment plan not sure why since my next payment wasnt due for 3 weeks.

 

4 days later my account showed carter forbes had taken £5 untill my account was empty i phoned them and they claimed since i defaulted it was their right to take my money that way. I got very angry at that point as i was unable to pay my rent or feed my 3 children so they agreed to settle my account since i owed £567 and they took £800 i demanded my money back but wouldnt give it to me. Eventually i gave up lessoned learned no more payday loans and NEVER give debit card details to dca.

I thought that was the end of it but now quick quid emailed my last month saying i havent paid the loan back and passed it to motormile finance.

I emailed them stating that i paid it through carter forbes but they say they have no record of this. What can i do as i have no proof since i delt with carter forbes over the phone?

well I'd tell QQ that the loan has been paid to Carter Forbes and you have bank statements to show payments made, so if QQ want their money to chase Carter's for it,

don't phone QQ send it as email if possible

it's worth a shot, other more knowledgeable caggers will probably reply soon enough and give advice more than I can, but if it was me I would attempt what I stated first

 

Good luck, but please post again if you have problems with QQ

I would also issue a full complaint with your bank and demand to know why this was allowed and not flagged as a suspicious transaction.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

:D
