    • 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.

Awww, now you've spoilt it for me. :-(

 

I didn't mean "anyone", I just meant "anyone BUT Lula"!!! :-D

 

She's right, she doesnt want to share with me, I snore, especially after a few drinks lol

 

BUT I do have it on VERY good authority that if Bookie is staying with you for any length of time, you will be needing catering packs of Toilet roll and she aint having any of mine :D

 

On the subject of your pm Hedgey, I would love to and thank you very much I am most grateful :D

I ain't even trying to catch up on this thread!! You lot are way too nutty for even me to keep up with (and that's saying something!!!!)

 

Suffice to say though - if anyone wants a bed for the night........... you're welcome! Bookie's got the single room (cos she's special!!) - then there's a single plus bunks in another room.

 

And if we get stuck.......... we've got 2 sofas downstairs that are awfully comfy (I've been banished to them on many a night - so trust me, they're a good kip!!!).

 

Oooooooh.......... and we haven't got a dog - so if you're downstairs you won't get licked to death during the night!!! Or even worse............ death by dog fart! Eugggghh!!!! ;)

Kev, go and stand in the corner, you obviously haven't been paying attention in chemistry!!! Ethanol (alcohol) evaporates when heated, so that the residue is what give the flavour to the dish in cooking.

 

Hedgey obviously doesn't believe in all that low-fat-is-healthy cr*p, well done her. :-D

Vimto? On sea-bass? Wash your mouth out with soap! :eek:

 

And Kev, I don't know what you mean about peeps leaving early due to alcohol intake dear. Who would do such a thing! :rolleyes:

 

And you have to put alcohol in the sauce when you're cooking sea-bass. It's mandatory. It has to be done. It's the law. It's................. an easy way of getting even more plonk down your neck! :D

 

Ooooh Bookie......... we don't do low fat in 'ere! Low fat = no taste! Butter and cream all the way in the hedgey household. You'll love it! ;)

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm sea bass. Anyway wine is good for you. Helps keep the blood thin - mostly cos the alcohol content dilutes it.;)

A girl I used to work with wouldn't eat if she was out on the razz at night, so she could get drunk more quickly and cheaply.

 

Wouldn't do for me, but a few drinks beforehand ......;)
