    • 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.

they offer new loans so you have to put new bank details and card number in - they then refuse the new loan and raid your bank to pay off the first loan they have been chasing .... it's just another form of debt collecting they've thought up !

Yep they are shocking for dirty tactics. I just feel for the people who fall for it making a bad situation worse. Makes me laugh that they said to ring they can't have paid too much attention to my complaint where I say I won't talk to them on the phone!

If they are removing the charges from the account, taking it back to the amount you originally borrowed and allowing you to repay the balance at £10.80 per month I would say you've got a result.

nice climb down from then. Sad to see they are trying to say that removing all unlawful interest and charges is them being helpful.

 

Overall though it appears to be a good result. Just make sure you are paying via standing order.

It is tempting. However they have not answered my complaint just feel as though they are trying to fob me off there are at least 8 issues raised in my complaint which have been ignored there is no explanation to their actions. I may be shooting myself in the foot here but I want proper answers. I am going to wait and see if this is their response and go from there. :-/

Write back acknowledging the repayment. Say you want to go through with it, but you want answers to your FULL complaint or you WILL take it further. As you said, they are trying to sidestep the complaint. They know they theyve messed up big time, but are trying to act like if you accept their proposal, then the complaint is sorted.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

What are you hoping to achieve by saying they haven't answered your complaint ?

As stated above I would like an explanation from them regarding the issues set out they have in no way answered my complaint as yet but I do not know whether todays email is their formal response or not until I know that I cannot make a decision on their offer. I don't think this is unreasonable on my part.

OK, I understand that you want them to explain their behaviour, but they are actually making a decision to accept your offer of payment of £10.80 per month to repay what you actually borrowed - did you think they would wipe the loan completely ?

I have been trying to come to arrangement with them for some time (and been paying them whilst trying to get them to accept an arrangement) and my correspondence was ignored. I most certainly do not think they would wipe the loan completely nor would I expect them to and I will probably take renagadeimp's advice.

Just make sure you still continue paying as you have done. And do NOT let them add on any conditions to the repayment plan unless it is something standard such as a re-evaluation clause every 6 months or so.

  • 1 month later...

I’ve had similar issues and after a horrendously long dispute managed to agree on a figure which I owed them. In my experience with afew PDL companies, if they aren’t getting certain details right and you dispute them…they end up slipping up more and more.

 

In this instance CFO had the amount I owed wrong, had failed to acknowledge certain payments made (it takes them several weeks to cash incheques which I learnt from my discussions with Stepchange who handle my DMP) and they were unable to give an itemised statement of breakdown and charges –any explanation regarding how charges and interest had been applied were done in brief and in writing, despite me requesting an itemised statement.

 

In the end I threatened to go to the FOS and suddenly gotthe result I wanted in that what I owed was in line with what I said I owed to them. All this was done by email so I have documentable evidence should I need it. Furthermore, they outright lied when they said Stepchange had not been in contact with them regarding ‘missing’ payments – when I spoke to Stepchange they had the exact name of the ‘account manager’ which I had been talking to.How would Stepchange know this detail if I had not told them? CFO are terrible lying sc**mers in my experience.

 

However, the story doesn’t end there. Having finally paid off the account through my DMP I received a letter a couple of months later stillstating I owed several hundred pound. Haven’t had anything since, save the odd email inviting me to take another loan out with them. The account is still showing as in default on my credit report and I am trying to get it amended to closed and settled which is the true status of the account.

 

Just make sure you review and follow up your credit report after settlement!

If they still chased you after its paid off AND theyve lied to try and get money from you, please do not ignore it. You MUST report it.
