    • 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.

A debt collection agency has sent an email regarding an unpaid payday loan to a generic work email address ([email protected])

- I am a director of the company

but these emails do not go to me,

so have now probably been read by quite a few members of my staff before someone forwarded it to me,

 

The email contains my personal details, as well as details of the outstanding amount £985 (the loan was £100!)

- surely they cannot send details of all this to a generic email address at my company?!

 

Anybody got any ideas how I should deal with this please?

Hi, no I have never given them any company email address,

though perhaps gave the company name as the name of my employer,

the email address they have had and used in the past was a personal one.

As you are aware the 7 day Notice of Intent we issued against you for the outstanding loan you took with Minicredit, has now expired.

 

The debt remains registered against you on your credit file as a defaulted and unpaid, and will remain in place till paid,

and will be updated with every payment made.

 

In the Notice of Intent we issued you we offered flexible repayment solutions that would meet your needs,

and we were prepared to discuss alternative options available for you such as a reduced settlement figure to clear your debt.

 

 

Please be assured that we will take your financial circumstances into account when discussing

and arranging any repayment plan to ensure suitability and affordability with your best intentions to heart.

 

We asked now that you take the first steps by contacting our office on 0203 096 5899 or email us on stating

Surely this is a breach of Data protection? that is what i am thinking?

 

With regards the amount owed, I borrowed £100 off minicredit years ago, and now it is somehow 950ish, I have never had a breakdown of how the amount has ballooned!

loving this statement they made on their email

 

 

"The information contained in this message is private and confidentiallink3.gif and is intended for the addressee only" - reading other posts on here it does seem that they have breached guidelines, they have jeopordised your job and I would suggest that there could be some compensation due to this..

....they are also not allowed to harass you at your place of employment no matter what they say they can do

Ignore the threats, keep the email... Minicredit sold to Kapama who sold to OPOS who have barreled it onto Hellix.

Yes it is a breach of DPA... And more due care should be given when sending emails. ICO will be interested in this. ...

 

We could do with some help from you.

Yeah they have wrote to me a few times, i ignore all correspondence, but the reason i put the thread up is that I can't believe its allowed that they can send an email tol a generic work email address with my personal information on the email.
