    • 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.

Hi All,

 

I will try and keep this brief but I wondered if someone can help me.

 

Approx. 2009 ish I took out a payday loan with Safeloans and all was well. My son passed suddenly and things spiralled out of control, I was subsequently diagnosed with Bi-Polar and a social worker was allocated to me.

 

I could not communicate with Safeloans, they were sent a letter by a credit union asking them to cease contact with me which they ignored, ignored the payment arrangement and took to court. A charge was put on my property.

 

Fast forward to 2014.

 

I am at work and reception called me to say they had Halifz bank on the line they needed to speak with me regarding fraud I had commited on my account. The call was transferred to me and it was Safeloans who had found me on Linkedin! I panicked and hung up.

 

I was placed under investigation at work due to this. I complained to safeloans and said I had obtained a copy of the call and they said I had broken the law and they needed to speak with my employer. I panicked and did nothing more.

 

Since then they have sent two letters to my employer saying under the money laundering act they need further information about me. I lodged an official complaint with them and they sent me newspaper articles of someone who had died in a car accident and said he worked from work often and were unable to assist me without going to the deceased parents and asking for his computer.

 

I went to the FOS who have said they will tell them to write the debt off (600.00 ish) plus 100.00 compensation.

 

Considering my employment is at risk I want to know is this proportionate - is this the only recourse I have with them?

 

The FOS advisor said their compensation limits are very low and agree with what they have offered - they have all the evidence of the above - funnily enough all my "data" with safeloans as in communication and calls to me was lost in a system migration.

 

Can anyone help please? Shall I fight further or accept this?

It is shocking - and unbelievable really :/

 

I dont work in the financial industry - I work in the security industry so a call saying I have committed fraud on my bank went down like a lead balloon as you can imagine. The letters have just aggravated the situation.

 

I had to go in an investigation, placed on limited duties in terms of access to systems until I could "prove" my innocence!

Your employer should be trying to help you with this, not punish you for it. How long have you worked for them ?
