    • 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.

Hello, Gentlemen, Gentlewomen... new user here.

 

Ok... I have a pretty good idea what to do here,

but I thought i`d post just in case you guys think different since my situation is slightly different.

I know it`s probably bad, but from what i read here, but anyway...

 

This is what you see when you order the bag:

 

Thank you for using Cash4phones to recycle your mobile phone(s).

 

You will very soon receive a sale pack through your mailbox,

which will include a letter and a freepost envelope.

All you'll need to do then, is place your phone(s) and Order Slip reference,

which you can detach from the letter, in the envelope and post to us FREE of charge.

 

Remember, you can view and track the progress of your order at any time.

Just visit our website and login to your account.

 

 

Once we receive the phone(s) and have tested them, we will issue payment, usually within a few days.

It's that simple!

 

 

Sent my samsung S2 (in great condition, no scratches, not broken, in a case as well) off to cash4phones (without doing my normal check :| )

waited 2 weeks then decided to contact these guys to see if they`d received the phone.

 

26-11-13: i got a reply via email:

 

Thank you for contacting Cash4Phones,

 

We would like to confirm that we received your hand set but as of yet the evaluation of your hand set has not been completed.

 

Please be advised that once the evaluation has been completed your Cash4Phones account will be updated,

for this reason we strongly advise that you continually log into your account to be aware of when the update is complete

as a confirmation email will be sent to you detailing when you are likely to receive your payment.

 

Should you wish to discuss your account further please contact us on the link enclosed or via the number below.

 

Feeling better, but still a tad concerned. I checked your site recently last weekend and confirmed my worries with a sinking feeling...

 

02-12-13 Got this email:

 

Good news! This is to confirm that we have now received your pack and we will start processing your order.

 

As we are currently experiencing a high volume of orders please allow up to 10 working days to carry out all the necessary tests in order to verify the condition of your phone.

 

We will contact you further once we have fully assessed your phone.

 

Kind regards,

They told me they were checking my phone on the 26-11-13 and now they`re only just checking my phone on the 2-12-13! I may even have to wait 10 days before I get a result!

 

I think what`s going to happen now is they will delay until the Christmas holiday and I`ll be lucky to see anything before February, if that! It all sends a very, very bad feeling.

 

I intend to phone them asap and send a letter requesting my phone right back- forget dealing with them. I`ll probably have to pay postage.

 

Is this a good plan? Just get the phone back fast and go elsewhere?

 

thanks in advance.

Tried phoning them a couple of times. just got a repeated computer voice teling me to hold, every time.

 

The expletives I could say right now. Nothing grinds my corn more than this kind of wicked deception.

 

So i will write a letter with a demand and threatening court action.

Read my thread. Send a letter to the address to the Director mentioned in the link. Send it recorded delivery requesting your phone back or 10 days to issue payment otherwise court action will be taken. Don't give up on them. They will not answer the phone or emails but try by post still. Everyone is on to them.

Court action wont phase them. They have 16 or so CCJ's against them and the company has gone into hiding.
