    • 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 have been dealing with Credit Solutions for an old Barclaycard debt.

 

CCA'd them early December, received a letter from CS saying they were going to retreive the info from BC.

 

Today in the post I have received (from BC) a photocopy (1 sheet) of my application. It has on it:

 

Name

DOB

Telephone Number

Income at the time

Bank name

Bank sort code

Date

Signature

 

It has on the right hand side which free gift I chose, then about balance transfers etc.

 

At the bottom of the sheet there are a choice of three boxes to tick. I can't read what any of them say, but can see I have ticked one. I think it is to do with PPI. Can't remember if I had it or not.

 

The second sheet they have sent me is 'Barclaycard Conditions'

 

I am guessing this is enforcable isn't it?

 

Can't post it up, haven't got a scanner here!

Never argue with an idiot, they'll bring you down to their level and beat you on experience ;)

Okay, will get some batts and post them up later.

 

Totally gutted I received anything at all from them!

 

And also amazed that as my income at the time (1999) was only £6,500 they gave me a credit limit of £2,500!

Just had my father have a look at it, he's said it is simply a copy of my application.

 

Hmmm.

 

Can't wait to post it later!

Sound to me like a typical Barclard Mailer application. From what I've seen of them so far, they're unenforceable as they are missing some of the pecribed terms.

These are video links to show how I deal with Debt Collectors.

Ok here we go - I am hoping all that they have sent me is a photocopy of my initial application plus a photocopy of their conditions under the CCA.

 

What I am hoping is my initial application...
