    • Thanks. Maybe you could have a look at my summary – and go through it and confirm my understandings. Also, now that you have evidence recorded I think it would be a good idea to reveal the name of the dealer. I know the name already because you posted up on Facebook – but I think it will be a good idea to post it here. There is no downside. It might attract other people who have had similar experiences and who may be helpful to you and of course it may be helpful to others in a similar situation. We normally find that publishing the name of dealers is helpful because once they realise that their reputation is at risk, though sometimes start to become compliant. Also, if we have the name of the dealer you may be able to make our own research which will help to refine our advice.
    • good evening guys lookinforinfo many thanks for your reply and support. Thanks for getting the team to move the posts to a MSG thread. I wanted to avoid any confrontation but i feel helpless against these evil  morons, i should not have to fight it and hope the court sees things in my favour, its the whole process that makes me want to kill somebody, i wont but im not always in control of my actions due to my  mental health condition.   All going well i wont hear from the police but who knows, ill just have to wait and see, the morons deserved it but i did not go there to cause agro, i was held in an impossible situation. I have told doctors many times i might end up in jail or kill someone or kill myself.    FTMDave thanks for your reply i will let you guys know if i hear anything.   ------------------------- Today i called Citizens Advice and told them everything including my vulnerabilities, i have a phone appointment on the 22nd to discuss the illegal PCN. Im not sure what they can do but ill see if my vulnerabilities help in any way  
    • Sorry I was just editing because I didn't seee your first reply. My bad sorry and yeah 70% criminology and 30% counselling, just give me more options when I graduate. Victim support etc.. how ironic lol 😆 
    • No particular relevance – but always interested to know what university students are studying. I have known lots of criminology students – but I have never heard of a degree which involves criminology plus counselling. I hope it works well for you. What about the answers to the rest of the questions?
    • Yes im going to university in September studying criminology with counselling, everything you have said is correct. I have the voice recording of me asking him for a breakdown of what the £500 would be, then he offers me the new deal of straight swap on the £200 service cost all recorded. I extended the warranty from 3 month to 12 month on his advice. The company is called handler protect and it was an extra £100. The warranty declined as they said it is due to age and not a sudden failure apparently.  I'm unsure what you mean by a letter of rejection. I have sent a formal letter requesting a replacement or a refund on the advice CAB. That was sent on the 13th June.  And yes i paid for the original diagnostic from another reputable garage.  Hope this helps and thank you 😊

    • 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.

The old Yahoo search facility which appeared on the top and bottom of the site have ow been abandoned in favour of Google.

 

Google seems to be the search engine of choice for most of the people on this site and so we now offer a Google search function. If you use the search facility on this site, then the sponsored links which will appear at the top and side of the page produce a click-thru revenue for us and this helps us a lot.

However don't just go on a clicking spree. Just do your normal searches and that will be fine, thanks.

 

The CAG toolbar which many of you have downloaded is also being changed. You don't need to do anything. However, whereas at the time of this post, if you make a search it will search Yahoo, within a very short time, that will change and your toolbar searches will produce Google searches.

Hopefully this will appeal to more people who will get into the culture of using CAG Google searches instead of your normal Google searches. The search results and the look and feel of the Google search results will remain the same but the difference will be that if there is any click-thru revenue, then it will come to the CAG.

 

Please do download the toolbar - if you haven't already and start using it regularly. It makes a huge difference to us.

 

Use the searchboxes at the top and bottom of the CAG forum pages. That makes a huge difference to us as well.

 

Many of you will have realised that we are now carrying advertising. Many of you will not have realised this because they are configured only to be visible to unregistered users or people who are not logged on.

If you see our advertising and if it bothers you then please register or else logon to the site - then the ads will disappear.

 

 

All of these measures have been necessary in order to ensure the future of the CAG. Revenue was getting critically low and we have had too many near misses over the last year or so.

It was a difficult decision because we have always set our face against advertising. Well there you are, times change and we move on.

 

The revenue which will be generated as a result of these changes will allow us to be confident of paying our bills and will allow us to implement one or two projects which have been beyond our means for a long time.

 

In case anyone is in any doubt, Google ads money comes from Google - not directly from the advertisers.

It tickles me when I see those Payday loan ads knowing that no sensible Cagger will ever darken their website (except to generate income-I know, naughty naughty :))

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Well it certainly is true that any clicks through to banks or DCAs etc would cause them to contribute to CAG funds and this would seem to have its own irony about it.

 

I don't think that this should be a motivating factor, though.

To anyone on here, please do not click the google ads to help raise funds, click them for their usefulness only (or relevence)

 

Multiple clicks or asking for people to click on them would mean that CAG lose them and any monies that are accrued, as Google are pretty strict on this.

 

BF is not asking anyone to click these for the purpose of helping fund the site, only if they are useful or relevant to you.

Another tip is to do a blank search using the cag search above, then set the page you arrive at as your homepage. (it's a nice small google search only, so it doesn't take an age to load!)

If in doubt, contact a qualified insured legal professional (or my wife... she knows EVERYTHING)

 

Or send a cheque or postal order payable to Reclaim the Right Ltd.

If you can't donate, please use the Internet Search boxes on the CAG pages - these will generate a small but regular income for the site
