    • 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.

Well I would take the refund from Comet as an admission that no goods were sold, and keep a copy of that bank statement, I would keep information from GE for the present, could be a useful tool to stop GE later if they try to enforce this none agreement. I do think if you don't now get a positive response from GE it's time to involve Trading Standards, Financial services ombudsman etc.

GE are a total Nightmare to try and deal with, Even in your case where there have admitted on several occasions that no agreement has ever been set up, they still mess you about.

 

This outfit are just a law unto themselves, or they seem to think they are , I would also advise you to send a complaint regarding GE to the FSA.

 

Dont expect a prompt reply from GE, they dont know the meaning of that word along with a lot more I could mention, like Customer care, Treating Customers Fairly etc etc.

 

Good luck getting it sorted with them.

Hello Again,

 

I've received a letter from Comet (below)

 

RE Laptop: account ref xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx

I refer to your letter dated 2nd July 2007. As you already know we have no copy of any credit agreement. The creditor is GE Money.

 

I have contacted GE Money, and they have confirmed to me that they also have no such agreement.

 

I have therefore arranged for a refund of your deposit payment of £110 a copy of which the receipt is enclosed.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

 

xxxxxxxx

 

I have still not had any response from GE Money. My original request was sent on the 11/06/07 and my last letter to them which is posted higher up this thread was sent on the 03/07/07, both letters have been received by GE Money and signed for.

 

There time is nearly up, what should I do if I have no response from them?

 

Brooklyn.

Hi Brooklyn it may be possible that GE Money have quietly folded their tent and slipped away in the night. I would keep all letters and wait to see if they try to chase for money again then if they do you have to get TS or someone involved. Also have a look at your credit ref file make sure that GE have not been twits and put something on you file without an agreement.

 

All the best dpick:D

Hello again,

 

well I've returned from my holiday to find a statement from Edge account showing a full refund made by Comet :D ( hooray!) but it says I still have "available to spend £1,150.00. I also have another letter sent 3 days after from G.E Money as follows;

 

Comet account xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx

 

Thank you for your letter dated 3rd July 2007. Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding.

 

I can confirm that the entry on your credit file relating to the above account has now been deleted.

 

Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

 

yours sincerely

 

xxxxxxxxxxx

 

Should I check the account has been closed or is this letter enough, I'm just wondering as it shows an available to spend on the statement.

 

Many thanks to all who have helped.

 

Brooklyn.
