    • 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’m looking for some advice.

I recently opened up a noodle account and noticed that a TSB account of some sort had been opened in my name. I think it was a loan as there have been monthly payments and now has a balance of £0.

 

I know I should have checked sooner but in the past we used ones like Experian mainly for our credit score.

 

Here are more details anyhow.

 

The account was opened approx 3 years after we left the address it is registered at in 2014.

 

There have been regular payments into the account/loan and everything other than it being false, seems ok.

 

Payments stopped in April of this year and is marked up to date as of the end of April.

 

Not sure how they managed to get my details as we had a redirect on for the mail and quickly notified people of our change of address etc. but something got through or left behind in the move.

 

I’ve contacted the bank and have been given the number for their fraud department and have also marked the account as disputed on noodle.

 

What I would like to know is what steps should I take to make sure this account is dealt with appropriately.

 

Thanks and any questions that might help let me know.

 

Spoke to their fraud department and it’s a current account, not loan etc.

They’ll investigate and send me a letter in 10 days detailing what evidence was used to open the account.

They’ve stopped the account and put a note on it.

Id also raise a formal complaint With them...

 

Will do.

Looks like whoever opened it has finished with it now as well.

There’s no deposits since April.

 

Just can’t understand why they would do it.

I associate bank fraud with loans to gain money.

Ends up with CIFAS... Its never good.

 

IF you struggle with TSB come back and let us know.

 

We could do with some help from you.

Accordingly to TSB’s Senior Operations

Manager the account is mine.

Not only that but 5 others are mine as there are also 5 savings accounts.

Funny how I managed to forget about them.

I think it’s fair to say they dedicated about 10 minutes looking into this.

 

Now I have to appeal the decision by repeating what I said on Saturday.

 

I’m not trained to the same level as their Ops Manager but surely the accounts being opened 3 years after leaving the address and being opened very close to each other should have set off alarm bells somewhere.

So given all these accounts are yours...and the Senior OPS Manager having fully investigated it all within 10 mins...perhaps time for a DSAR request...of course they couldn't possibly breach the DPA given the fact that Senior OPS Manager has thoroughly investigated and is happy that you should be supplied all data in connection to the 6 accounts.

I think I will dx, thanks. I’m really annoyed at how little they care and the arrogance of the person who looked into this issue especially considering the reason I’ve contacted them.

Good point and I was thinking along similar lines - taking a more active approach investigation.

Update. I know this is my fault but I let TSB decide the speed of the complaint. Letter after letter was sent, telling me how they’re looking into the complaint and finally it’s been closed as far as they’re concerned. The outcome? Well, apparently these accounts are still mine. What a surprise.

 

I’ve just contacted the Ombudsman and they’re are looking into whether they can investigate or not. It’s seems it’s a bit of a grey area due to me claiming not to be the consumer.

 

TSB’s complaint team are absolutely appalling. I genuinely feel they’re trying their luck in terms of palming me off. They’ve clearly not looking into the complaint in detail as I’ve proven I didn’t live at the registered address.
