    • 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.

It is a criminal offence to impersonate an officer of the court.

I know of one case in my local area of a DCA rep saying he was a bailiff unfortunately for

him he called on a snr Military Policeman and had a unexpected holiday at one of HM's establishments.

Thanks for that Elsa. However, I can't read your signature. It is asking me to join and have to pay with Paypal. As a result of this mess my Paypal account has been closed for good. What is worse, they have told me I will never be allowed to open another one as they say I am a financial risk to them. What a joke! I am a victim yet they treat me like a criminal.

 

I will follow your advise though. Thank you

 

Must be a faulty link somewhere..maybe to the donate page if Paypal is mentioned. There are no fees whatsoever to join CAG :whoo:

there is also a case coming where power2contact are going to be in deep dodo [4 times so far reported known about]

apparently they have been claiming to be bailiffs with a warrant AND a locksmithand have forced doors etc to try and fit payment meters on overdue utility bills

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Whoooaaaa there!

Now that really IS a VERY VERY good story! I can't wait for the media to rip them to pieces, least of all see them have their CCL removed!

Talk about too big for your boots...I am truly gob smacked..:doh:

I do know that some District Judges in my locale have refused to certificate some applicants

and there has been abuse of what little traing the applicants have been through.

IMO I don't see what harm it could do, the least they can say is that they don't deal with this issue and sign post you to who does.

I strongly doubt anyone would be able to slate the OP, this is fraud not a simple case of debt.

Hello,

 

Just thought I'd give an update. The Romford Recorder ran my story on Saturday, it was quite a large column (and unfortunately quite a large picture too!) so hopefully people saw it. Unfortunately they didn't get a quote from either Ebay or Paypal, so I don't know if they even know that I did it? Interestingly though, I have not heard anything from either Iqor or Paypal for a week now...is it too soon to hope that they have seen sense and given up?! Also, the article in the paper had a quote from the JC stating that they were launching a 'thorough investigation'...what a JOKE! Six weeks later and I'm still waiting for a decision from the special payments team. I'm going in tomorrow to yet again chase them up and give them a piece of my mind. I will also be signing off as I have now got myself a brilliant new job (no thanks to them!!!) which I start next week, so I will be telling them that I will no longer be jumping through their hoops! :whoo:

I have received a letter from Iqor today demanding payment in 3 days. What shall I do Bankfodder? Shall I reply or ignore this letter? This is for the money owed to Ebay but not Paypal. I have not heard anything from Paypal since they called me last week and I said I was not paying because I hold them, Ebaya and DirectGov responsible. Don't know if it is a good or bad thing

Princess, I had the same letter from Iqor recently, demanding payment in 3 days or threatening me with court action. You have to respond within something like 72 hours. All I did was write them a formal letter addressing the fact that I was not going to pay anything whilst a criminal investigation was still going on, as well as an investigation by Paypals own fraud dept. I told them that I was still disputing the debt as being owed by me with Paypal, and that if I did have to pay it off then I would do it with Paypal directly and would not deal with them. I sent the letter first class and have not heard anything from them or Paypal in over a week. I would suggest you also write a letter (don't call them, it will only encourage them to phone you and harrass you for money) explaining exactly what has happened, include your crime reference number if you have one and hopefully it will either put them off or at least buy you a little more time to sort it out. Hope you get it sorted and they leave you alone.
