    • 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 received a phone call yesterday from triton credit services re my overdraft with the RBS they said that I had to pay the whole amount and they would not accept any sort of plan etc , I told them I had never heard of them before and have asked them to send me something in writing and the women explained that a letter had been sent out fri and I should have received it by now and would know exactly who they are!!

I understand these people are actually RBS under another name so I presume that they do have a legit right to be talking to me?

 

 

I was quite shocked by all this because at the last contact I had with RBS I told them I was now unemployed and could only afford to pay them back at a Max amount of £20 per month till I got another contract they said they would send me their response I presume this is it!

 

 

I have never had to deal with this before i really need to avoid any ccj's as i am starting a law degree this yr and and county court action could cause me serious problems, I’ve read through various forums but with the multitude of ideas and opinions this has left me a little confused and I am not quite sure what the correct steps are to take can you help?

If you are in deed unemployed, ask them to take you to court and you will explain to the judge that you are unemployed and allow to make a payment of £10 per month (half what you are paying now). You can also explain that if they indeed take you to court, they would have to send you a copy of the assignation that they now own the debt, otherwise, pass it back to RBS Customer Collections who will continue to receive the £20 per month that I cannot really afford.

 

As Triton Credit Services are RBS, they will not take you to court as only the bank will and you can let them know that you will counter-claim for any bank charges.

Hi mcr18. First rule never ever ever hold any type of conversations with the Debt Collection Agency aka Triton over the phone. Everything should be in writing. Tell them when they call, you will not speak over the phone and to put details in writing.

 

Only then, you will find they will harrass you, once you agree to an amount, they will sting you for more and more. Stick to what you can afford, NOT what they tell you... if it's £10 per month do that and nothing more. You do not need to give them any more details than that. They are not entitled to have any financial information from you unless they have a court order. If you are unemployed send them a copy of your letter stating this fact and that is all.

 

A CCJ can only be obtained through the courts and there is a long way to go before it can get to that stage.

Good luck and don't have anymore telephone conversations with these low-lifes.

 

Have a read on some of the other threads - it will really offer you support and guidance.

Triton are indeed the inhouse recovery department for RBS.

The account has not been sold or assigned. You are still dealing with RBS staff based at RBS Customer Management Services in Telford.

Why do RBS do this ?

Well, they believe that if the customer thinks they are dealing with a Debt Collection Agency, they can inflict more pressure, to extact more money from the customer. That they can behave in a way that is totally unacceptable, because ....it's not really RBS, a large financial institution, they wouldn't threaten you, lie to you, refuse to comply with official data requests, conceal vital facts which would help you defend your case, they wouldn't recreate an agreement, harrass you for money you genuinly can't afford to pay,change the account numbers & alter the type of account you have so they can add more interest both before & after Judgment, withold statements. Fraudulantly use documents to make it appear that your accounts are guaranteed, when they are not.

Nooo you wouldn't catch the RBS doing any of these. But there inhouse recovery departments Triton & CMS do all of the above & more.

 

Understanding the rules of engagement, basically there are none, will hopefully help you through this.

From now on, everything in writing. And everthing they say must be backed up with documented proof.
