    • Also I see that you are doing a lot of this on the telephone – and without any written confirmation. This is a big mistake. You need to start taking this matter seriously and so everything should go in writing. If you have telephone calls then they should normally be recorded. Read our customer services guide. You should make notes about every telephone call and then you should send an email to your telephone correspondence confirming what they have said or what they have agreed. It is important that you keep detailed paper trails here. Of course we may be jumping the gun and maybe big motoring world will step up to the mark – but I'm afraid that they have a lousy reputation has you have seen and so you need to start practising survival techniques and protecting yourself. You say for instance in your letter of rejection that the mechanic told you on the telephone that the gearbox needed replacing. Do you have any other evidence of this conversation? This is going to sound a bit harsh – but other people will be visiting this thread as well for their own purposes. You conducted their research about this company before you bought the vehicle. You now are fully aware that this is a company which can be very difficult to deal with and causes a lot of problems for many of their customers and yet you are still taking a telephone/verbal approach. Do I need to say any more? Also one of the documents you put up is an email exchange but it is not clear who is writing to who or what dates. If you showed this email to somebody in a pub they would be asking lots of questions about who sent the first message, who sent the second message, what dates were they sent et cetera. Please think about this before you post things. Please can you clarify the details of that email exchange. Please will you present the information carefully. We are all volunteers here and we have to rely on you to do the spadework

    • 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 guys

 

The above are chasing a terminated Egg account and have sent an IMPORTANT NOTICE.

 

I am ignoring for now; no NOA received.

 

They have a CC Licence and are registered at Companies House as Leeds LS18 4JR.

 

I just wanted to know if anyone had come across them in practice: know thine enemy and all that.

 

love

Thanks rockwell

 

Something like that: I'm not a fan of how he ran a country but the approach may apply to DCAs

 

"Ever onward to victory, Patria o Muerte!

 

You are the first to spot publically that it is my nom de guerre.

 

 

I have another today from Credit Solutions Ltd who do not appear to have an extant Consumer Credit Licence, does anyone know what 'Open' means?

 

Licence Details:

Renewal 21-Oct-2010

Open

http://www2.crw.gov.uk/pr/default.aspx

 

I 'phoned them to ask for their licence number - none provided on threatogram - but they won't talk to me 'because you could be anybody, Sir'. I think I MAY ignore them for a while.

 

love

There is definitely a question to be raised as to whether these fools should still be allowed to operate whilst having no up to date licence in force, just because my insurance is being renewed but may take a few months doesn't give me the right to continue driving!

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Hi All

 

 

I have received three letters in the space of two years from Collect Direct (Improved Financial Solutions Ltd), the first letter was to arrange payment the second was a Notice of Legal Proceedings and the third was to inform me of their intentions to send a local representative to my house.

 

Has anyone else had these letters or similar activity and what was your outcome? Did you pay up in full, make an arrangement or ignore. I am so scared now and I don't know what to do, I think they are starting to charge me administration costs too. Is this legal?

 

Any advice would be good!!!

 

Thank you

In response to Bazooka Boo.

 

In 2009 I received several letters from Debit Finance Collections which I responded to and then this new company called Collect Direct have written to me.

 

Maybe their the same company, I am not sure to be honest.

 

Have you had any contact with them?

Hi guys

 

My complaint this time is v. COLLECT DIRECT (UK), CC Licence 559133.

 

When it started, I pondered, “Is this a game of chicken or Egg?”; I Swiftly read the merits of cracking egg at the big end or little end.

 

Messages arrived via TNT bottle thus:

 

10 Jan: IMPORTANT NOTICE

 

25 Jan: ATTENTION: “We have spoken to our client who have advised that they do not hold any record of an outstanding complaint on file.”, notwithstanding that I hold big egg’s FINAL RESPONSE to said complaint. “In order to avoid further action….next 7 days”.

 

1 Feb: URGENT NOTICE (in red ink): “WE ARE ADVISED THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY RESIDENT AT THE ABOVE ADDRESS”, no sh*t Sherlock, blah di blah, “ A court Official visiting your home”, blah di blah, sky will fall in, blah di blah.

 

2 Feb: RECEIPT: “We acknowledge receipt of your recent payment …”; curious, no payment made and balance quoted is same as 1 Feb.

 

8 Feb: DOCUMENTATION ENCLOSED: “Please find enclosed our complaints procedure as requested….In the meantime, your account has been placed on hold for 14 days from the date of this letter….”

 

11 Feb: IMPORTANT NOTICE: PAYMENT MUST BE RCEIVED AT THIS OFFICE WIHIN 4 DAYS: similar to 10 Jan save that balance has grown from £6,274 to £7467: wow, Wonga even.

Dear vic, please contact CD UK urgently on 0844 701 6156 quoting reference 982xxx.

Consider the environment. Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to..."

 

Now I’m really confused. Is there anything here that might merit inquiry of their fitness to hold a Consumer Credit Licence? Meanwhile, back in Blefuscu, what came first, the turkey or the egg?.

 

Love as always

 

Vic

 

PS I am not fond of this company

Whether the Turkey or the Egg came first is irrelavant , you can't affect that. The important question is what does the turkey do next?

My advice is given through personal experience and is given without prejudice
