    • 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 have a £110 debt with lloyds for an unauthorised overdraft which i have been paying for six months through payplan at a rate of £1 a month. I have now been receiving phonecalls everyday asking me to clear the arrears in full or else. I have contacted payplan who have contacted lloyds but i'm still getting calls and letters so far i have blocked 4 different numbers they have used and the last time i spoke to them (i was trying to explain to them that it was being payed by payplan) they said the phonecalls would be stopped for 5 days to give payplan time to contact them but they have started again morning noon and night. I have complained to them before about telephone harrasment (this was before i set up my DMP with payplan) but until the matter is resolved the calls will continue. any ideas?

no it's not charges basically i switched my account from them over to HSBC about 5 years ago and used them to sort out all my direct debits etc but they must of missed the one for my GMB payment and lloyds continued to pay it for 10 months! because they said 'i was a good customer and my account was always in credit they continued to pay it' and of course because of this my lloyds account was never closed the first i heard of this was in october last year and the debt was passed to payplan in april and i thought that was that in the meantime lloyds nor HSBC will accept responsibility for this mistake but as payplan got the payment down to £1 a month i just thought 'pay it'.

to be honest the last few times they have called i've just told them i wasn't in and could i take a message when they said 'tell him lloyds tsb have called' i've put the phone down and blocked the number. i've tried a complaint through the website but you have to phone them and to be honest the way i feel about it right now they'd be doing me for phone harrasment!

No Redbryn, you need to get very assertive. Write to them and very formally ask them for a copy of their Complaints Procedure. They are legally obliged to send you it. This is shocking, shameful behaviour on their part. Send it Special Delivery if you can.

Hi Redbryn

This is from the Credit Service Association's Website. It's a PDF, but isn't long, and shows just how seriously Creditors/DCAs must take complaints.

http://www.csa-uk.com/csa/upload/FOS%20Article.pdf

Don't talk to them on the phone. I know Payplan sometimes suggest this but DCAs (and TSB Collections) love phone calls. This is because they can say what they like and scare you half to death!!

There's a telephone harassment letter template here, and lots of good tips on how to deal with them.

The problem with being with Payplan (or CCCS) is that very often you feel helplessly 'in their hands'. It's pretty soul-destroying at times, even though Payplan do help as much as they can.

You don't have to put up with this. :)

When you set up a DMP with Payplan you'd have signed an authorisation for them to act as your representatives. If TSB are ignoring this, then they are ignoring the Law!! OFT664 says it, and TSB knows it! :mad:

Be strong. They're cheeky beggars!! :)

We will not be intimidated.

You need to send this letter ASAP:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/37006-harassment-telephone-response-letter.html#post290644

 

Amend as necessary. You really do need to request their complaints procedure as already mentioned, as this can be a lengthy procedure and log ALL calls for an immediate complaint to Trading Standards, here's the link:

Trading Standards Central - Trading Standards and Consumer Protection information for the UK

 

Good luck and best wishes.

Don't worry if you can't find it - just send it to the CEO at Head Office - his office will make sure it gets to the right place. Don't forget recorded delivery!
