    • 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.

While I can understand what you're going through.

 

Not paying the rent is a very bad idea the LL/LA can deduct any arrears out of a deposit, sue you in county court for arrears or both ending up with a CCJ too.

 

You're still liable to pay rent up until the day you move out and as per your TA agreement.

 

You have a health condition you may be able to obtain a HA, local council property, but the fact you stopped paying your rent may affect any application for housing you make to a HA, local council or another private LL.

 

You should seek advice from Shelter, CAB, Local council ASAP

 

Good luck...

Current LL/LA don't have to give you a reference.

 

You stopped paying rent where you currently live which makes your situation worse and will not look very good with any new LL.

 

Any new LL/LA will want to know if you can keep up and pay your rent on time.

 

Any rent arrears the current LL can sue you for or deduct from a deposit or both as I said early on.

 

You could get a section 8 notice read on http://tiny.cc/n1hvtz

 

All I can suggest is you contact CAB, Shelter or local law centre, ASAP for further advice.

Haven't a clue how you're going to get any type of reference in this situation.

 

Has your current LL/LA give you in writing "you don't have to pay any more rent"

 

?

They could still chase you then for rent arrears.

 

Your problem is any new LL/LA will want to know if you can pay, keep up to date on your rent payments, pay a deposit or ask for a guarantor.

 

I noticed on your previous thread on CT, you're getting UC

 

If the rent part of UC is paid direct to you, current LL/LA could apply for it to be paid direct to them read on http://tiny.cc/m3hvtz

 

See if anyone else on CAG has any ideas on getting a reference.

Apologies if you see it that way, I'm only posting "what could and does happen in real life"

 

Rent arrears for what ever reason will be a problem to any new landlord in any sector, it's not that simple for anyone with rent arrears to walk straight into a new tenancy...

 

I wish you luck....
