    • 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.

There is no part of the adviser interview during the referral to work program that specifies what your rights are, in the interview the requirement of the adviser is to ensure that the relevant paperwork, leaflets and dialogues on the computer system are updated correctly.

Also there is noting in the guidance to state what rights customers have or don't have iygwim? It is a process that is to be followed, a bit like the contact centre staff who follow the script when taking a new claim even if they know that someone is claiing the wrong benefit or has no entitlement they aren't allowed to deviate from the script.

NLP is not treatment - it is snake oil peddled by snake oil salesmen. In March I had the misfortune to be mandated onto a one day course run by people who described themselves as "masters of Neuro Linguistic programming". There was no prior discussion of the course prior to my mandation, no prior mention of NLP just a letter in the post mandating my attendance. Needless to say the course itself was completely useless but the poor victims (including me) had to sit through it all. If any one had left the result would've been a sanction doubt, disagreeing too vehemently with the twit attempting to impart his wisdom carried the same omnipresent threat of removal of all income.

I got angry and decided to get even.

I spoke to a journalist from the Financial Times. My comments and experience formed part of an article she did and which was published in the FT - from memory it was titled "The role of Neuro Linguistic programming in the Work programme" (or something similar).

A4e attempted to defend themselves - they claimed that the course was discussed with attendees prior to the course and that everyone had agreed to attend (two lies there in quick succession).

I don't think A4e will be quite so quick to go anywhere near NLP in the future.

Sorry to learn of your experience..... others may have reacted badly when being subject to baloney, irrespective of whether through a session (which turns out to be NLP), or in a Work Programme meeting with any Administrative Clerk employed by A4E.

 

Can you elaborate on i) the area of the UK covered by A4E, ii) whether A4E Clerks or a separate organisation delivered the NLP.

 

Not sure as to how extensive NLP is used.... hopefully, in due course, a recording of the sham can be posted on Youtube.

The "training" (Ha!) was delivered (inflicted) by this bunch of charlatans

http://welfaretowork.instanttraining.org.uk/

Seems they're still in business as their website's still up. I think this was a local initiative by A4greed - I so I doubt if this particular bunch of snake oil salesmen has been hired much further afield than their HQ of Derby.

No doubt there are similar outfits touting for business and making a nice living from taxpayers' money nationwide.

Originally their site included a short clip (about 4 minutes) of the trainer ("Nigel Heald MABNLP ABH, qualified NLP Master Practitioner" ) strutting his harangue. I don't seem to see the clip now! You needed a strong stomach and a complete lack of any critical faculty to watch the clip. Imagine what 4 hours of it was like.

can i withdraw my consent as i got forced into signing the data protection thinggy yesterday?
Well I'm not sure how they "forced" you! I know they can be bullies but you have the right not to sign. You also have the right to change your mind. This is a draft wording that should do the trick:

Re: Data waiver agreement under the Data Protection Act 1998

 

Dear Pimpo,

 

 

As you are aware I have signed the data waiver/consent form thus authorising

PIMPO to share my data with other bodies including potential and actual

employers. You should also be aware that I have the right to withdraw this

consent at any time without giving reasons or explanations.

 

 

I understand that such withdrawal does not effect my placement on the Work

Programme or any employment or offer of employment made.

 

 

Please take this letter as notification of the withdrawal of my consent with

immediate effect and alter your records to show that my data sharing consent has

been withdrawn. Please sign and date the copy of this letter to acknowledge

that it has been received by PIMPO and my instructions will be acted upon.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

Gissajob

 

 

I acknowledge receipt of the withdrawal of consent and confirm that it will

be acted upon without delay.

 

 

Signed :……………………………. on behalf of PIMPO

 

 

Name:

 

 

Job Description:

Don't worry too much if they refuse to acknowledge receipt - the letter is still valid. Keep a copy for your records,

G4C389 I have to admit I have "my" work pen and don't like anyone else using it (colleagues or customers alike), only because sometimes I put the blasted thing in my mouth and don't fancy the idea of doing it after someone I dont know has touched it! Actually I don't even share my home pen with my husband :o

It's the truth. The consent to 'share' is exactly that. No signature = no consent to share personal information.

do i just hand the form in when i next attend ingeus or do i post it?

 

 

Best to hand it in!...

 

After working at Royal Mail over Xmas, post can get damaged/lost. So, when Ingeus say they never received it in the post, they may actually be telling the truth? LOL...

 

Unless you send it recorded delivery, then Ingeus could/would deny never receiving it!!! Also, hand in a copy to your local job centre.

I've not got round to withdrawing my consent yet (there's no rush a.t.m) but everytime I go to WP I take 2 copies of the withdrawal letter with me. I'd want to know they definately received the letter ;-)

The second one was likely permission to hold your CV on their system.

 

How did they make you sign? Were they putting serious pressure on you? If so put in a complaint to the DWP.

Does everyone with the work program who has signed up with UJM also know about not giving them the gateway number and password?

Our local providers have been trying to push people into giving those details so they can log in to the account with them at advisory meetings/job searches!

They are not allowed to request this information and neither are JCP as JCP have portal to view through their desktops but providers dont (again only if consent is given on the account).

To be fair, it is entirely optional for candidates, when they create a Universal Job Match account, to give authorisation to the DWP to access their Accounts.However, this is an irrelevancy given that, in order to create a UJ Account, candidates must accept the Terms and Conditions, Privacy and Cookies Policy - where Monster operates Universal Job Match on behalf of the DWP, where Monster is considered to be a Data Processor, and the DWP can use the data contained in whatever way it deems fit.

 

Thus, when candidates are conscripted to the Work Programme, the DWP and Job Centre Plus designates Work Programme Provider (both Primes and Subcontractors) as being Data Processors, and may distribute candidate data to any party without the need to secure authorisation or permission from the candidate to do so.

 

Conversely, when with the Work Programme, although candidates may be required to provide a Job Search Record, and the pimps may insist that the name and addresses of employers be provided so that they can "follow up on each application", candidates are not required to do this. However, if a candidate creates an account for Universal Job Match, then there is nothing to prevent the DWP from distributing all data to the W2W Sector.
