    • 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'm very sorry but with the best will in the world you have posted such a huge and pretty well unbroken block of text that it is quite impossible for anybody is specially if they're using a small screen to follow the story.

 

Please would you repost your story concentrating simply on the facts of the the case and the problems that currys-pc-world have caused you. Then we can give you the support you need.

 

I'm sure we can help you but I'm afraid that you need to make your story accessible to us

Clearly you are entitled to some compensation for the inconvenience and losses you have  suffered.

However don't expect it to be easy.   Even when there are clear breaches of the Consumer Rights Act, Currys specialise in attempting to defeat their customers and they are prepared to spend any amount of money defending claims which represent only they portion of the amount that they invest in denying people's rights.

Your claim which will be comprised of of some  actual losses but also loss of earnings  will be much more difficult than normal but if you are prepared to go ahead then we are happy to support you. There is no doubt that Currys PC World deserve a slap for the way they treat their customers

 

I think that you need to start off by itemizing your losses in terms of actual discernible money loss and secondly tell us about your loss of earnings. What do you do for a living and how much would you normally expect to earn in the time that you had to give up to meet these broken appointments.

 

Finally, you say that the wall is damaged.

have you had an estimate for repairs? Also you say that the television is still not mounted correctly so we need to have an independent estimate for that remedial work as well
