    • Just an update for all. I received about a letter every other week, increasing in threat levels. Then I hadn't had one for a about two weeks, then Saturday received a carbon copy of the very first letter they sent me in February. Made me laugh, rinse and repeat.

    • 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.

Why is bad behaviour from DCA's so widespread throughout their industry?

For example, there is a thread on here from a poster who was happily paying 1st Credit & is now being threatened for the outstanding amount.

Do the DCA's have no sense of "customer relations" at all?

Do they not realize that a few simple "pleases'" & "thank you's" might get them alot furthur in terms of getting people to part with money?

Instead, they adopt a "sledgehammer to crack a nut" attitude & end up getting nothing :rolleyes:

It really is incredible how much they are their own worst enemies :mad:

I know all that PGH :p

Im just trying to get to the bottom of why they are like that in the 1st place & what good they think it does them :confused:

It is basic human nature to fight back when threatened..in whatever capacity & they need to realize that.

They really dont have the first clue about dealing with people. They start off with demanding the money is paid in full within 7 days. They threaten legal action. They ring continuously. If you do offer them money its never enough. At no stage do they ever try to have a reasonable conversation with a debtor to try to reach and amicable compromise. I have only ever had one DCA who adopted this approach and as a result I am happily paying them. The rest like The Leeds Losers and that other shower from Reigate and the Crapquest muppets ended up with nothing. They were the weakest link. Goodbye.

Exactly the same with me. I negotiated Full & Final with the one and only DCA who ever treated me reasonably - I was happy and they no doubt made a nice profit. All the others got nothing at all, and they never will now (Stat Barred).

 

I too am pretty astonished by the behaviour of DCAs, especially some of the antics that I read on here. One can only surmise that the industry is stuffed from top to bottom with thickos, because anyone with two brain cells to rub together ought to be able to work out how counter-productive their actions are :rolleyes:

The point is they're preying on those that DON'T post or read here.

 

My brother in law had one of them loans where someone comes to your door weekly to collect the money. The woman that used to visit him quit (he didn't just choose to stop paying them... he phisically couldn't pay them anything!), and the company never sent anyone after him for over 6 years, even though he still had another £130 to pay. They have never posted anything on his credit file. Now a DCA has got hold of this statute barred debt and are writing to him thretening to take him to court etc. Him and his wife are both quite well off now, and own a house and have sparkling credit ratings, so this DCA thretening to get a CCJ on them scares them whitless. I've told them it's all posturing and nagging, and I've told them their Threat-O-Grams are just that... empty threats, and I've told them the company has no legal basis for claiming this money but they are going to pay because they stand to lose out on getting better mortgage deals in the future.

If in doubt, contact a qualified insured legal professional (or my wife... she knows EVERYTHING)
