    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

Two parts to this Question:

 

1/ Claiming back Credit Expert membership at £14.99 as £4.99 was compulsory identity watch insurance i never requested response

 

2. As my complaint and final response by Experian was done over email, Why did they send a hard copy response to my home addrerss that i no longer reside at.

 

3. Why are they so interested in my new home address.

 

Before anyone asks i am now on the electoral register at my new address since the beginning of september as i had to wait for the electorol services to update.

Dear Mr xxxxxx

 

Thank you for your email, which we received on 14/06/2015.

 

*Identity Fraud Expenses Insurance

 

I'm sorry to read of your concerns in relation to insurance. So that your concerns are fully addressed, I have passed the details of your complaint on to our Customer Relations team, who will contact you shortly with further information.

 

I can advise that our current membership is priced at £14.99 but does not include a premium for Identity Fraud Expenses Insurance. This feature was removed from our product in 2014, and replaced with an Enhanced Victim of Fraud service. This provides an additional level of support for those who have fallen victim to identity fraud.

 

Unfortunately we no longer provide a membership priced at £9.99, so I am unable to offer this.

I hope this clarifies the situation for you.

 

 

Kind regards

xxxxx

I write further to my email dated 15/06/15 (see attached). I can see that we sent you a letter in respect of your complaint on 17/06/15, however, this has only just been returned to us as undeliverable. For this reason, I would be grateful if you could confirm your correct current address, and I will resend our correspondence to you.

 

If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

 

To get in touch you can email us at or visit our website at www.creditexpert.co.uk.

Are they even licenced to sell Insurance products ?

 

Or is it not really an insurance product, but simply an extra service they automatically included ?

 

The fact that they changed it from insurance to a service, may indicate there was a problem.

 

It is normal with complaints to send to a registered address, but if you previously confirmed your identity with the same email address, then i could not see a reason for not sending to your email address. But it may just be their practice to send to an official address.

 

The way to tackle this is to ask for their FCA registration details in regard to selling the insurance product and confirmation they come under the FOS in regard to insurance miss sellng issues. Tell them that you believe the insurance was miss sold, as you never asked for it and are seeking to reclaim it.

We could do with some help from you.

I have just had Experian contact me by phone.

 

This compliance chap was polite and courteous and took my complaint as serious.

 

What i will say is that my complaint has now been resolved to mutual satisfaction and settled.

 

Way to go Experian, no ifs, no buts, just plain good old fashioned customer service

 

A++++
