    • 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.

GDPR,

 

In 2018 I sent a request for CCA/Prove it letter to Idem they never replied or sent the info back. However they kept sending letters/calling to contact them etc, duly ignored as the CCA request was not fulfilled. About 10 weeks ago they sent a letter stating that as they could not get hold of me they decided to pass ALL my details to a company called “callresolve”. After 5 weeks I received a letter from callresolve stating that my details were passed on to them by Idem and that they will send someone over.

 

About 2 weeks ago a lovely (sarcasm!) gent arrived at the house, all with a long black coat (not making this one up I swear) and a lovely badge from “Callresolve” anyhow, as he did not look like your average postman, I asked what he wanted. He said before he could tell me he had to “confirm” my details… I said “ah ok that would be good” and he started “if I could confirm the address” (yes that was right on the front door), I looked at the house number and pointed out at the street sign outside….

 

He said it was process, then (and this is where it gets quite interesting) he asked for my Date of Birth (to which I replied , I had one and I was happy with it). Anyway at that point I also added that he could “Jog on” and to ensure his coat would not get stuck on the porch.

 

The question is, as Idem ignored any “prove it letter” or even CCA and without my authorization they passed on my private details to a third party. Are they in breach of GDPR guidance. As I thought under the new regulation ALL information can only be passed to third parties with someone’s explicit agreement (I never gave that agreement to Idem.

 

I also got rather annoyed and called Idem, told them that I was still awaiting for the CCA and prove of debt (i.e deed) they said they were not obliged (rightly so I believe, ) to send me the deed of assignment however I asked them if they could confirm and send the confirmation of when they told me of their “Ownership” of the debt, they stated as it was sent in 2009 they did not have a copy (?)

 

Could someone confirm what information I could ask for and if anything else I should be weary of? Idem seem to have got hold of a phone number which I seldom use, and also an email address which I used to set up a DMP years ago (but was still going on last year but NOT for Idem)….are they under obligation to let me know how they got hold of my data and who provided to them?

 

Is there a template for GDPR ? and also what is the process to lodge a complain and to whom? The ICO (from what I can read, would limit itself to “remind” Idem to comply with requirements)

 

Hope the above makes sense!

Yes makes sense...

No they are not in breach - There is a legitimate interest to recover a debt outstanding.

Regardless if it is disputed...

 

ICO makes a case study for their guidance which includes a debt needing to be paid...

 

We could do with some help from you.

if you sent idem a cca and they have not complied IGNORE THEM.

stop entering into stupid letter tennis!!

 

until/unless you get a letter of claim from one of their favourite fake/tame solicitors.

 

as for recolvecall or snortscrawl [sorry scotcall as they were previously known] powerless and zero powers like all DCA's.

 

what was the debt please

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Debt was for an old CC with Egg, taken in 2006 …

Idem said they will send the CCA asap (seemed confident they got it)...but would not provide the deed of assignment and were doubtful would be able to prove of any prove of assignment and I quote

" as we purchased the debt in 2009 we are unluckily got a record of any notification"...

 

I know I am rushing a bit but IF they can prove the original CCA would they also have to provide anything else to demonstrate they own the debt?

 

In fairness I am more annoyed they can share details with third parties even when an account is in dispute.....

moved to the egg forum..title updated for clarity.

 

not sure where you are getting the deed things from, neither the part about not being able to pass details on??

you signed up for it on the original agreement.

 

have idem failed a proper CCA with a £1 fee as our CCA request?

or did you send them some other stupid letter and from elsewhere

 

if idem have failed your CCA

end off the issue.

 

as post 3 PAP letter of claim = if not sit on you hands.
