    • 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.

Hello ALL,

 

Somebody from my branch has setup a direct debit with my consent on my account.

 

I spoke to the Deputy Manager and she agreed to investigate and promised to send me a letter.

 

But later in the day, the guy who was responsible for setting up the UNAUTHORISED direct debit calls me to say that it was a system fault and agreed to send me a written letter.

This is something of keeping a theif to protect the asset.

 

I want to chase this unscrupulous practise up and would like to take up this issue with RBS.

 

Please suggest the ways, i could go about with. I have been distressed and upset as my account details has been compromised by somebody.

 

Thanks

Drviru

Hi and welcome to the forum.

 

I really don't know what to suggest as this actually sounds quite serious.

 

Anyway, my reply should bump you back up to the top of the forum so hopefully someone will be along shortly.

I think further information is needed. When did they set it up? Did any payments go out? If so how much? Who was the receiving party of the DD?

Thank you for your replies.

 

Money hasn't gone, as acted quickly to cancel the direct debit. The royal scottish assurance is the receiving party.

 

I am explaining the thing in detail as follows.

 

I visited my local Bank's branch requesting them to give me a overdraft. One of the bank advisors took me in to a personal meeting room and tried to sell me a Scottish assurance policy. He asked me a series of questions about my personal health and habits. He finally said that i should be paying around £10/month, if i take this policy. He was indirectly pressurising me to sign a document, which is to allow them to setup this policy on my name. He even lied to me saying that this is a normal practise to sign to acknowledge that he explained all the terms and conditions. I refused to sign anything and walked out of the room, telling the bank advisor that I will get back to them if i want one.

 

Few days later, i got a letter from Scottish assurance policy that i have taken a policy and ALONG WITH MY DIRECT DEBIT DETAILS (A payment date has been chosen on behalf me - every month). I am shell-shocked, as my personal information has been accessed by this bank advisor, who took the authority to setup a direct debit on my name. This is a serious breach.

 

I called the Scottish assurance policy and requested them to cancel my policy and direct debit and requested them to raise a complaint with RBS. [They send me a second letter saying that I need to send them a signed letter] On the same day, i complained to the bank deputy manager, about this serious breach. After 20 minutes(i think), the bank advisor who did all these things to me called me and apologised saying that these things happened due to a system error. I do not believe this as a system error. No system error will allow a person to setup a direct debit and chose a payment date.

 

In conjunction with the complaint raised via Scottish assurance to Bank’s customer service, they contacted me and are saying that the person mistakenly did this. I do not believe this either.

 

I seek help and advice from members for the following

 

1. I want the bank to legally compensate me for the loss of my personal data with out my knowledge. I see this as identity theft.

2. I want the bank to legally compensate me for the money (All the telephone calls), My personal time and the mental stress it created.

3. Get Scottish assurance cancel my direct debit and remove all my personal records in their database, which they received without my permission.

 

Because of the misuse of trust and such an aggressive selling practise, we have already in trouble with a credit crunch.

 

Please help me to stop these white-collar guys committing such criminal events in the future.

 

Thanks
