    • 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.

I think you need to explain the FSA'a position on this as if I recall correctly the FSA states that such commissions AND there amounts (as this might reveal bias) should be revealed

Hi Everyone.

 

Finally received a reply from the ICO.

 

Still having Scanner problems so here is the gist of it.

 

From the information you have provided there is no strong indication that Welcome Finance have failed to comply with the sixth principle in this case. This is because after contacting Welcome Finance about the information you feel was not disclosed, they replied by saying that they have sent you all the personal information they hold in relation to your account.

In terms of your list of missing information, it appears likely that what you have described may not be able to be disclosed under the subject access request, or you are likely to have been provided it in another form as part of Welcome Finance's original response.

In light of this it is my assessment that it likely that Welcome Finance has complied with the DPA in this case.

As I have now made my assessment, the matter is considered as closed. I appreciate this this is unlikely to be the assessmeny you were hoping for, and i can only apologise again for the delay in responding to you.

 

Just incase anyone was wondering the sixth principle says that "personal data shall be processed in accordance with the rights of the data subjects under the Act", This includes the right to access personal data.

What the hell is that? What a cop out!

 

So, what he is saying is "if welcome say you've had everything, you've had everything"?

 

I would be rather upset at being treated as stupid in not realising that what you are fighing to get, they have probably already provided you this (and what, you've just not noticed???)

 

Have they even bothered to check with Welcome if the missing info CAN or CAN't be disclosed under the SAR?

 

I would complain about the ICO bitterly - they have obviously not even looked into this as their whole response is "welcomes word is law, we haven't actually asked them anything and think you have not noticed you already have it"

 

Am sorry to rant but that is shocking!!!:mad:

 

(Hope you are well :))

I am in no way a legal advisor and only speak from my own experiences and the helpful advice of those in the same boat! :p

send it back to the ICO and ask for their internal complaints department also send a copy to your MP stipulating the facts as you see it

i really think it is time the ICO was disbanded as a useless organisation and certainly not value for money

If, having exhausted our case review and service complaints procedure, you remain dissatisfied about any aspect of any service you have received from us or think we have not acted properly or fairly, you can take the matter to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman.

 

Complaints to the Ombudsman must be made through your MP. For further information about the Ombudsman’s service please visit their website ( www.ombudsman.org.uk ) or call their Helpline on 0845 015 4033.

 

If your complaint relates to the way in which we have interpreted the law then the Ombudsman cannot help you. If you want to challenge our interpretation of the law, you should consider seeking legal advice.

make your complaint to your MP and also send a complaint back to the ICO and ask for their internal complaints department as you find their reply both inadequate and questionable as to just what have they done to investegate your complaint also you wish to see what steps they had yaken to investegate your complaint ?

Hi postggj.

 

Not to sure what the settlement options are it wasn't in the letter.

 

I'm hoping it's the same as the previous letter i received back in March this year. I posted the letter up on one of the pages.

 

In that letter if i remember rightly it was to refund all premiums paid plus 8% interest, £200 compensation and too put the account back into how it was at the beginning minus the PPI. But the letter i received in March is alot different to this one i've received. in the sense that this one seems to be more on Welcomes side than mine.

 

so not sure

Hi

 

Send them a letter telling them you will report them to the Office of Fair Trading. That should do the trick.

 

Also any correspondence you send must always be sent recorded delivery and never ever telephone companies.

 

If you can it might be worth going into the branch and confronting the Account Manager that sold you the loan and getting them to admit that they didn't tell you about their PPI.

Postggj,

 

I emailed the adudicator at the Ombudsman Service on Tuesday because of the length of time from getting a reply to when the settlement letter has got to be back in. He emailed me back saying he will find out what the FOS have agreed and that he will let me know early next week because he is off for a few days. so if that's the case it should be what it was in their previous letter ie account back into how it would of been minus the PPI, Compensation plus refund of PPI plus Interest :)

but i'll let you know when i receive a further reply
