    • 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.

Rather worrying - the domain name is NOT registered to the company, strange?

 

Registrant: Hurwitz, Jonty ATTN: WONGA.COM c/o Network Solutions P.O. Box 447 Herndon, VA 20172-0447

It could be showing Wonga.com. 28-32 Wellington Road, London NW8 9SP as that's one address I found, although companies house shows

No sign of any solicitors of those names anywhere?

 

That must be just a postal address - probably a post box. It's highly unlikely that a bunch of clowns like this could afford to rent offices in W1.

Summary

 

 

I started my career being mentored by renouned banker, Gilbert de Botton at Global Asset Management and spent 2 years designing reporting systems to allow complex financial instruments to be explained to private investors.

 

In 1996 I founded my first company in a small back room in Convent Garden, London, with a team of inspiring young developers and artists.

 

After almost 2 years of building the technology, Delve Reporting launched in 1997. Delve grew through the dotcom wave to become one of the worlds leading financial reporting platforms.

 

The 2001 bubble-bursting was a defining moment for me as CEO of Delve but through a series tough decisions, the company came through stronger and more streamlined. In 2005, Delve was acquired by StatPro PLC (AIM:SOG). Delve's technology continues to power reporting for some of the worlds largest financial institutions.

 

Following the sale of my company, I stayed on as Creative Director of the StatPro Group (AIM: SOG) until 2007. During this time I was responsible for unifying the teams and technologies from 6 acquired companies in 5 countries helping the Statpro grow from 50 to over 200 employees.

 

Wonga is my current project - my aim is to bring a range of disruptive methodologies to the UK consumer banking industry.

 

Since founding Wonga together with Errol Damelin in 2007, I have built the teams and technologies to bring the UK’s most sophisticated real-time consumer risk engine to market. Wonga has emerged as one of Europes fastest growing companies.

 

To balance my entrepreneurial side, I am also an artist. Over the past 5 years I have built up a collection of works, with some currently on exhibition at the Maidstone Museum as a finalist in the Bentliff Art Prize.

 

I am also one of the co-founders and Trustees of the Separated Child Foundation (WELCOME TO THE SEPARATED CHILD FOUNDATION | Separated Child Foundation) which was established in 2007 to help young refugees arriving in the UK with no parental support.

The Separated Child Foundation

 

 

Non-Profit Organization Management industry

August 2007 – Present (1 year 6 months)

Separated children and young people are refugees or are seeking asylum—and have no parent or guardian with them. Separated children experience the double trauma of separation not only from their homeland, culture and natural environment but also from the adults in their family who gave them care.

 

The Separated Child Foundation offers emotional, social, financial and physical support to separated children and young people up to the age of 21. I sit as a Trustee for the foundation covering areas ranging from strategy, web and fund allocation.

Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Financial Services industry

January 2007 – Present (2 years 1 month)

As the Founder CTO, I'm focusing on bringing together talent and technology to completely change the way financial services work online. Wonga is exciting, challenging and wildly innovative. With all of this creativity though we are dealing with money and real lives, so we have to be really grounded in reality too. I've got an inspiring partner (Founder and CEO), Errol, who is pushing the team relentlessly. Together with an exceptional group of people - we're shoving a carrot up the backside of an industry seriously in need of change.

 

 

"my aim is to bring a range of disruptive methodologies to the UK consumer banking industry." Anyone got any idea of what that means?

 

 

"Convent Garden". I wonder if that's anywhere near Covent Garden.

Translated = I've got no intention of abiding by any legislation pertaining to the finance industry & because I'm a yuppie the FSA have no authority over me.....besides I've got some big backers....know what I mean!

 

I think this bloke's more of a LOMBARD than a YUPPIE. LOMBARD = "Lot's of money but a real d***head".

Hi Trough

Did you question your debt?

The doorstep caller will most likely never materialise anyway. But have your hosepipe ready (As long as theres no hosepipe ban of course, wouldnt want you falling foul of the council now would we:D)

 

I know this is England, ruled by Brussels, but surely even we can't have a hosepipe ban in the middle of winter?

why do you people get loans out when you cant afford to pay them back? I've used wonga.com and they do warn you about what happens if you don't pay them back. I've never had a problem with them because I've always stook to my side of the agreement and paid them back!!!

 

Oh God another troll. Another one that can't speak English properly too by the look of things.
