    • 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.

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) – table of activities, descriptors and points

 

Daily Living Activities and Mobility Issues...

 

Some readers are confused with what the DLA/PiP descriptor/s are and what points could be awarded.

 

 

Here is a guide that could answer some of your questions.

See this link >> https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/Global/Migrated_Documents/adviceguide/pip-9-table-of-activities-descriptors-and-points.pdf

 

This is a guide only,

as each claimant will need to have his/her own points to be able to qualify for these benefits.

These may help you understand how your illness/disability affects you

and how it may affect the outcome of your claim.

This guidance also includes the descriptors'/points for mobility too...

 

The first 6 pages are for daily living part of your claim, see section 1-10 then for mobility please see pages 6-7 sections 1-2...

 

Also I have added a 12 point diary for you to use if you wish (very useful tool),

this can be found here >> http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?457126-DLA-Pip-12-point-diary(21-Viewing)-nbsp

 

Print off as many as you need and keep them until you need to reclaim or provide written proof

as to what your abilities are around the home and out in public.

 

 

Please remember there are good days and bad days, these all need to be kept in the diary...

 

If you have any questions regarding the use of the diary please start your new thread for more detailed advice...

 

Finally getting regular written reports from your care providers/Dr's/Consultant/carer will also be very useful...

Another issue is are you safe! Can you do your tasks safely without injury to yourself or other. Are you aware of common dangers? The list is endless. This is why I think it is now important to keep a written diary for yourself and others.

 

 

If you are reapplying for DLA/PiP and have kept records this may assist you when completing your claim form. Lastly but not least if need be get a carer to write an observation report for you....
