    • 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 put in a complaint to QQ for irresponsible lending, over a 4 year period. I don't think they examined my case very much. Got what seems like a cut and paste reply rejecting my complaint and them saying they are happy with the checks they do. I think this will go to the FOS as there is clear evidence of rolling over loans long term and the business is short term lending ?? I think they hope most people will go away at the rejection e mail.

QQ rejected my complaint at first. Then I asked if it was final offer and sent them details proving I had defaults etc at the time of loans they then wrote back and wipe out existing loan £600 + interest and sent me £150 for inconvenience. I probably had paid more in interest but just wanted to be get rid of debt. As long as you can prove through credit report loans were irresponsible you should have no problem. I use noddle as it is free and shows all loans and defaults.

Thanks Janes, I am in the process of filling out the FOS forms. Looking at the FOS website and the complaints against QQ (CASHEURONET IS THE COMPANY) over the last 12 months 75-80% of claims have been found in favour of the customer. I am confident the FOS will find in my favour as it is quite straight forward rolling loans throughout.

Hi guys,

 

I have complained to a Wonga, and quickquid, which Wonga have paid out. I am waiting for wonga to reply, they have until Wednesday... However when I initially emailed them I asked for a copy of my transaction history, this was so I could piece together what loans I had and over what duration. What was strange was that even though I had not mentioned complaining, QQ emailed me back.. within 2 hours.. explaining they had extensively looked into my account and could find no evidence of wrong doing. I emailed them back saying this was all well and good, but I until that point had not complained. It was at this point I started to get some real answers....

 

Remember when complaining you have the automatic right to a Complaint number, and if you arent satisfied in the 8 weeks following posting your cdmplaint, go to the FOS.

Hi. I should have replied sooner but the FOS were excellent. Very quickly found in my favour. Credit to QQ they didn't argue once the adjudicator had made his judgement and paid in excess of a 7k refund. I feel justice has prevailed.

Hi,

could I ask what you did as an initial letter?

 

 

I'm about to start a claim as I was in the same position as you and ended up with a flex credit account somehow that I had to borrow from others to pay off.

 

 

Do I just write asking for a breakdown of the account history first,

 

 

or complain and ask for one?

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.
