    • Hi all, I purchased a car in January from Big Motoring World Leeds. At the time of sale I was shown a tab on the salespersons computer marked 'service history' and I was able to take comfort knowing that the car had been serviced on 3 occasions as the date, mileage and company was there on screen. Being a 3 and a bit year old car that, in my mind, constituted full service history 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, collected the car a week later. Once home I settled down to through the book pack etc. Opened the service history booklet and it was completely blank. In addition there were no invoices detailing that any services had been done. I duly contacted BMW and asked them to supply me with proof of service history. They responded saying that on their 'vehicle documentation checklist' I had ticked and then signed to the fact that I had seen the service history and that I was happy with it. I dug out this checklist and what it actually states is 'seen service history online' which I had in the showroom. BMW seem to think that this satisfies their responsibility in providing service history. The reality is that I don't have any proof that the vehicle has ever been serviced! For my own peace of mind I ended up paying for a service that satisfied the manufacturers maintenance schedule to the tune of £330. I even complained to the finance company that the vehicle contravenes the Sale of Goods act 2015 as l, in effect, ot is not as described. Amazingly they weren't interested and instead I just got an email stating that it's not illegal to sell a vehicle without service history and that servicing costs were part and parcel of vehicle ownership. I've since complained to the ombudsman and am awaiting to see if they can help. I have no issue with the car but the treatment and customer service has been the worst I've ever experienced. I don't really know what to do next as I really do feel aggrieved that I've had to pay to service a car that should have already been serviced. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? 🙏

    • 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 just recieved this e-mail from Secure Credit Management, and I'd like anyone's opion on this chapter;

 

I have provided the information below which provides the specifics of where your information came from and how we have confirmed we are speaking to a genuine customer.

London Police Financial Crime Unit - have already reviewed and investigated your case and deemed it is not fraud, they were subject to a protection order through the court to confirm these details.

UK Banks — Were subject to a court order to provide details of matches where they have confirmed the following Name D.O.B match Address match If and when funds entered an account from an MCO Capital product, in your case Balance loan.

Credit Reference Agency — reconfirmed the identity of customer to complete a third and rigorous check to make sure the details confirmed through the other sources were correct in reference to name, address, dob and voters roll information.

In conclusion, we have confirmed from three separate sources, 2 through court order to provide and confirm details of genuine cases where the funds have been confirmed entering the bank account. In this case Secure Credit Management would request that you contact the office further, either via telephone or letter to arrange repayment of the outstanding balance. If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us.

I have not disputed the debt, I just wanted to know what company they were representing! However, i think they are not telling the truth!!!

Just give as much background.history as you can. It sounds rather suspicious. Especially since they have claimed they have pursued it through the LPFCU.

well, there is nothing more to say, than this e-mail I recieved! Yes, I think the debt is genuine as i do recall the loan, however it was quite a long time ago, but the e-mail just seems to be full of lies!

 

Here is a copy of the letter is full;

Subject: RE: Customer Account No.: XXXXXX

 

 

Dear XXXXXX

Thank you for contacting Secure credit Management.

The letter was in reference to the loan which was taken in 2010 from MCO Capital Ltd, trading as Help loan or Balance loan. The product you had chosen was the Help Loan. The outstanding balance is owed to Secure Credit Management as we have purchased the debt book of MCO Capital and are responsible for collecting the outstanding debt. I have enclosed an information sheet. Confirming the following details:-

• When the loan was taken.

• Into which bank account the funds were credited.

• What date the funds were credited

• Who owned the bank account at the time of credit and now.

• What checks have been completed.

I can confirm that this agreement/contract was not signed for on paper as it was an online application through the website as a click wrap agreement, which states that you have to click and confirm the terms and conditions before you can submit your application and the funds can then be transferred. (I have attached the Help Loan terms and conditions agreed to for your reference),I can confirm we do not have a signed agreement for this loan.

I have provided the information below which provides the specifics of where your information came from and how we have confirmed we are speaking to a genuine customer.

London Police Financial Crime Unit - have already reviewed and investigated your case and deemed it is not fraud, they were subject to a protection order through the court to confirm these details.

I can confirm we do not have a signed agreement for this loan.

 

So theyre saying they have bought the debt but cant pursue it through the courts, or they dont have a specifically SIGNED agreement? It's very carefully worded.

 

London Police Financial Crime Unit - have already reviewed and investigated your case and deemed it is not fraud, they were subject to a protection order through the court to confirm these details.

 

Did you get any contact from this unit? Also "protection order to confirm details"?
