    • 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 will try and keep this simple as so far it has been very long winded, basicly i took out some holiday insurance with axa, needed to make a clain in march 07 i contacted them twice reg application pack, this was not received, by this time it was about nov last year, anyway no luck so went into the travel agents who kindly phoned axa on my behalf, finally early this year got claim application pack though it was the wrong one and although my address was stated it was sent to the wrong address also, went back into travel agents and got another pack sorted out the right one this time though still wrong address, filled in pack sent it off recorded post, never heard from axa so phoned them up, they stated they never received it, i said it was sent recorded, then in the next breath said they had but i need to sent one more receipt for a camera,there were other items also which they state the could not pay for as the type of insurance i had, i did this then claim was settled though they would not pay out for the camera, i wrote back in complaint reg shoddy service etc etc and that i should be paid and copmensated for all the trouble, they said we have real good customer service etc etc, yeah right! i wrote back a very detailed letter explaining all the probs etc etc they then said i was charged a to higher percentage and a cheque would follow i got a cheque today and over a year and a hallf later for £20 and in addition to this, this was the only time they got my address correct.

I have tried to be brief and i hope you can understand it ok, i would like to take this matter further but i have no idea of the legal jargon etc, i.e as the service was very poor have they breached the goods and services act? what do you recommend to write back to them with? also i feel that i should be paid in full also for the items that supposedly was not included in my insurance, plus compensation for my worry and the problems encountered, do you think i am asking to much?

I really want to take this further as not only do i feel i should get my items full value back, but maybe they will look into there practices and the next person will not have to go through what i have been through

Hope you can help and many thanks!
