      B&Q I’m now a shoplifter?

      By Whyisitthis · Posted

      Hello, firstly thank you for reading this. I know no one wants a long winded back story. So I’ll be breif. I entered a local store to buy some paint (which I did pay for) I am honestly not a bad person or a theif.   Didn’t have a basket or trolly as was on my lunch break. Whilst picking up the three tubs of paint placed some masking tape in my pocket (it was hanging out of so I had every intention to pay) just didn’t have a hand free. Paid for my goods (forgot about the £4.39 masking tape) I’ve got so much going on and im not well at all (like I say no one cares I get that) also have autism so wasn’t thinking particularly like others do maybe (who knows my minds going around and around) I left the store after paying, was pulled back in by security. Asked for the tape which I gave immediately  shook up. Gave them my ID and details. I was given some paper and told to expect a large fine in the post for their time and the tape and sent on my way. my questions are: I hardly ever go out without support so the ban I guess I can’t go there now for anything (their loss) - ok but is my photo going to be all over with my name? how much am I expecting in the post as a fine? I have sent them cash in the post recorded signed for delivery to arrive tomorrow (incident happened today) for my error. Their Address was on the bit of paper. i have read two posts on this page but they were from many many years ago so I hoped for updated advise please?

      Wrong settlement quote given on PCP.

      So should I send them a new SAR and put my date of birth on it? Or do I need to send them some proof? Driving license?

      Thanks so much for your help!! I've emailed them, and when they reply saying they can't do it I'll reply and state my rights. I'm so glad I found this forum, and will read all of the posts I can find and help guides available for the future. Really can't thank you enough.

      utter BS, doesn't matter you signed it. pers i'd be writing as per the other threads here rejecting the car as not as described under CRA etc and be done with it. as its a debit card you could also do a full chargeback within 120 days to your bank and simply dump the car back to BMW. 100's of like threads to read here. get your ducks inline. make sure you know what you are doing and off you go. dont take any BS from BMW, no matter what you sign it does NOT remove your consumer rights. p'haps it might be on the off chance you are a good manager , a quick phonecall tomorrow saying you dont want it because (no bla bla fitted) it might be resolved in 5 mins..i will guess to date you not tried

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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 there. i also took a course from cdf . i was sold the course by an extreemly fake pleasant man who new i was self employed and struggling , but because my wife was working he arranged the finance in her name(in fact he said i would have the course for free if she was not working)to cut a long story short i paid the first installment and started the course,then my wife stopped working and my work was non existant so i looked at the credit aggreement with a view to cancelling.on the green copy -the only piece of paper i was given, it stated on the front that details of how to cancel would be sent, having no other paperwork i rang cdf to ask about cancelling . the lady said i should first write to the college and ask them to cancel the course which they refused, i then rang back cdf and pleaded with them to cancel the course stating that i had 4 children, could not make the mortgage payment let alone pay the course fee, after this conversation they sent me an income and expenditure form to complete which i did, clearly showing that it would be impossible to pay for the course. (Infact it showed that I could pay them £5.00 per month which I would have to cut back by this amount on my food shopping) Could anyone please help/advise me have i any chance of getting out of this???? Thanks

If it's ok can you change the thread name please GuidoT, and if it's ok with hankster.

 

CDF are the Finance Company that provide the "funding" for the course, The company that sells the course is Skills Train. If you could put them in the title instead and then Hankster should be able to get more help and advice from all the great people on this forum. Thanks AL

Try sending a PM to GuidoT, Asking to change the title to Skills Train Course as CDF are the financing company not alot of people will know who they are.

 

You will definately get more replys then, Not many people like Skills Train.

 

I'm enrolling back into college to do the same course i was "doing" for FREE and they wanted nearly £3000.00 to do it. :mad:

 

I hope you can get it all sorted :)

It's not likely if you took out credit, you can withdraw from the course but you will still be liable to pay the credit company. I had a similar experience with the OU in my more naive days. You may be able to get a reduction but it's highly unlikely they will write it off. If neither of you are working you would be eligible to go on courses with the local Adult Continuing Education centre. Keep looking for jobs, hope you both get one soon.
