    • 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 Cagger's

 

I know I've been very dumb I know it, anyway I bought something from Bright house last year and I was told if I did not have contents insurance I would have to take out the OSC.

 

In fact I was dumb again the same year and bought something else and was told exactly the same thing.

 

It is my intention to pay these items off and no longer use bright house. but I have since learnt that you can cancell the OSC at any time and I have already drafted a letter using a template from this site.

 

However, I am reading conflicting information about getting a refund for the OSC I have already paid. Is it possible to have this refunded and applied to my account to reduce the amount I owe?

 

I was clearly missold these items as I now understand the line about having contents insurance is bull****.

 

Thanks people

I just found this thread.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?439121-new-to-reclaiming-BrightHouse-Charges-and-OSC-DLC

 

Can someone confirm if it is straight forward to claim back OSC or if they will fight this in court?

do you have all your agreements which shows the amounts paid in OSC? If not you will need to send a sar request.

Its a straightforward process but no 2 cases are the same and you must be prepared to go through to court if necessary.

There are many successful threads for BH, have a good look through them to familiarise yourself with what you will need to do.

Good Morning UnmoderatetheNet,

 

Thank you for your feedback.

 

As part of our standard procedure we provide all our customers with an explanation of the key terms of the credit agreement using an agreement guide presenter. Optional Service Cover (OSC) is completely optional and can be cancelled without penalty with just 7 days’ notice, however you would then not be entitled to the following benefits:

• Repair or replacement

• Loan products

• Full returnability without charge

 

By law hire purchase goods do not need to be covered by your insurance products, however full ownership of a product isn’t transferred to customers until the last payment is made on their agreement(s). Therefore, we must ensure that our goods are covered for Fire, Theft and Accidental Damage. Customers can take this cover through a home contents policy. We offered DLC to customers who did not wish to take out a home insurance policy or alternative cover.

 

I have logged this for you under the reference: 257482, I kindly request that you contact our Customer Relations department on 0800 526 069 and quote the above reference so we can look into this further for you.

Dear Jason

I might have been a dumb *^#+^^* for buying something from BH but seriously do you honestly expect me to listen to one of your telephone [removed]/sales people try to convince me that black is white and that you'll give me a twenty pound voucher if I don't ask for all my money back?

Bright house are now telling me that the additional service cover can not be stopped because it is built into the price of the laptop I bought.

 

First off is this true, they are known for their bull****.

 

Second if it is true what are my options?

 

Do I have go down the small claims court route.

 

Thanks people

Ignore them. It can be stopped regardless of what they say. If they say it's included in the price then sar for a full breakdown as it's forcibly missold

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..

When did you fall for their sales pitch and become one of their victims?

 

Pre or post 27th April 2015?

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Pre April 2015

 

November 2014 to be exact.

 

I'm guessing that's a bad thing right :(

 

On the contrary, it is a good thing, as after that date they moved the goal posts to suit their needs, and it was added in to the price, so

yet again, they're talking nonsense, do you have it in writing, or was it just something one of their employees told you?

 

If you have their name then I'd be telling them if they wish to lose their job and be done for fraud to continue with their lies.

 

If not, then remove the useless cover and refund the amount they have taken off you/

BrightHouse require hire purchase goods to be covered against damage caused by fire, theft or accidental damage.

We regularly talk to customers to understand how we can deliver better value for them.

Whilst a great many of our customers do not have a separate home contents insurance policy and therefore greatly value our Product Insurance offering, this is not true for all of our customers. We will therefore now be offering our customers the choice of how they wish to benefit from the peace of mind that Product Insurance can offer.

If you took out your agreement from the 27th April 2015 and you did not have a home contents insurance policy or alternative insurance to cover Hire Purchase goods, our Product Insurance is available.

Product Insurance Cover provides cover for loss arising from the theft of your hire purchase goods or any loss or damage to them caused by fire or accident. It does not cover you if you lose the product (subject to Terms and Conditions).

If you took out your agreement prior to the 27 April 2015, our Protection Benefit Policy is included in the cash price of the product; therefore there is nothing extra to pay. The insurance provides cover for loss arising from the theft of your goods or any loss or damage to them caused by fire or accident. It does not cover you if you lose the product.

It does not cover loss or damage to anything other than hire purchase goods provided by BrightHouse. (subject to Terms and Conditions).

For more information on product cover click here.

I'm really confused becuase if you remember my original post. The cover on my laptop is built into the price, not additional. hence the reason why I need help.

 

How can you remove something that is built in?

 

I took out my contract out prior to april 2015 so basically Im shafted. :(

 

 

On the contrary, it is a good thing, as after that date they moved the goal posts to suit their needs, and it was added in to the price, so

yet again, they're talking nonsense, do you have it in writing, or was it just something one of their employees told you?

Its forcibly sold. Therefore it is technically missold. They think they can say " if you dont want it, dont shop with us", but it doesnt work like that, and thats terrible business sense anyway

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..

okay if laptop cost x and they charge Y becuase they add the extra insurance and other cover. How do go about getting the extra removed from payments?

 

I'm not seeing any sucess stories on here of people who managed to achieve this.

 

Sure getting the add ons stopped and removed seems more than double but when its built into the price???

 

Anyone

You SAR them or demand a FULL itemised breakdown of the amounts, and what they are attributed to.

 

You wont see many success stories, because very few people actually try and reclaim, or they do, and then dont update the thread.

 

Be warned though, you may have to go through SCC to get the money.

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..
