    • 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.

Had 1 of those messages about being taken to court etc from each so called firm. Phoned both up and guess what our postcode didn't come up on the system. And for some reason NDR can't take it off their system. what can I do ??????????????????????

It seems someone has put my home number on a form, but put a different address and email. We have reported it to a fraud team, is there anything else we can do?????????????

UPDATE: I have spoken to them and to be fair the guy I spoke to was great, he said its no problem he can see I have always made payments and bothered to contact them and as long as I pay my £50 fee today my account will be closed. I will leave my post up so others struggling with NDR can read it if it can help them in some way.

 

 

 

 

 

I have had enough of this company. I am in urgent need of help any help or advice will be appreciated a ridiculous amount!

 

So around about 10 months ago ish I guess I take out a stupid payday loan with community pay day for £300 (I KNOW I AM AN IDIOT) I was unemployed just before Christmas and devastated and embarrassed so I took it out with the view of paying it back with christmas money etc etc but as you know I couldnt pay it back straight away so I asked them for some time just a week or so, they said no and it was quickly sent to the famous NDR

 

So NDR send me an email, a phone call a text threatening blah blah.. I left it for a day or two to just try and work out my options, before I know it BOOM theyre saying I owe them over £1000! So of course shi**ing myself I get in contact with them and they say no way they can reverse the fees now etc so like a mug I accepted this and began paying an agreed £50 a month. I got a new job shortly after and this £50 was easy to manage, I then in June lost my job (Well 6 months elf contracting work) so paying NDR was a struggle but I just about managed to pay them. So anyway in September I missed a payment due to my financial situation so I contacted them the next day to sort it out and they said you owe us £272 if you can pay us £200 by the end of the month we will clear the account, I said well it is my birthday on the 25th so how about you take the £200 on the 27th, they agreed, I was chuffed to be able to get rid of this horrible loan and no longer deal with this vile company who had conned me.

 

27th Comes round and I only had enough to pay £150 so I rang them and said look can you please take the £150 today and the further £50 on the 01/10/13 they agreed and that was that. So the 01/10/13 comes round I make sure I have my last £50 in my account for them! low and behold they didn't take the payment! so I left it... what happens 02/10/13 a paypal payment comes out my account that I wasn't expecting, no contact from NDR what so ever to say they hadn't received there payment and I know I couldnt get any more money till 03/10/13 (today) so I thought well I will just contact them then if they havent contacted me.

 

So im just going to bed tonight at around 3 am and I get a text and 2 awful emails from them:

I have been paying them ***** all year and I was only meant to pay £50 in September but I agreed to pay them £150 then £50 straight after! I am not trying to pull a fast one I have been more than willing to pay them and they're UNFAIR fees already, and now because I am about to close the account they try and add 2 grand... just WOW is all I can say, and what the hell do I do now? PLEASE PLEASE somebody help I literally beg. THANKS SO MUCH for any replies and I hope you are all well.

Pay the last £50 as you had agreed to by Bank Transfer.

 

Then make sure they can't help themselves to any money.

 

Then send them one letter by recorded delivery that you consider the debt settled in full, that they are to immediately cease any all debt collection attempts and harassment.

 

After that just ignore them, but collect all communication you receive from them and forward it to the OFT.

 

Also don't worry about their threats,it is nothing but a standard threatogram they send to everyone, all bark no bite.

Back to my stuff. Had a call from 01224 931013, I called back now and somehow took a loan from Paycheck Credit I think (woman was foreign and couldn't understand her). Somehow my details where used inc DOB. I pointed out I've never heard of them and so my file has been sent to their Fraud Office. Whilst I will be calling the proper authorities. I heard today Payday loan companies must do an affordability check, well they better do an anti fraud check as well.

STOP PHONING THEM UP.

 

They are the epitome of legal loan sharks. They dont care about you or your situation. ALl they care about is getting as much money from you as they can and in any way possible.

YOUR MISSING THE POINT. THEY AREN'T GETTING ANY MONEY FROM ME AS IT TURNS OUT SOMEONE PUT IN A FRAUDULENT CLAIM IN AND GOT DECLINED( I have evidence to prove it wasn't me). So when I phone back and go through the process guess what, I'm not on the system and shouldn't be as it was declined. So how are they getting money out of me please explain, when they say your not on the system and we will put your file to another department to clear this AND HAVE NOT ASKED FOR ANY OF MY BANK DETAILS ????

It doesnt matter. You keep calling, they keep you marked as gullible and continue what they are doing. If you ignore them or show you know your rights, they ease off, and pass it on to their silly DCA. Then eventually they just dont contact you anymore.

 

I also didnt direct my comment specifically towards you paying. I was mentioning their base business practice in general. I know this outfit VERY well, and have helped dozens of people show Mr larholt exactly what the rules say.

Hi There ,

Not sure if I am posting his in the right place but here goes. My daughter got herself into a bit of a finacial muddle and instead of coming to us decided to taje out a Loan with Toothfairy. She was unable to repay at the given date and then was sent a letter which arrived on 18.10 13 saying she needed to pay £159.50

which needed to be paid by the 16.10.13 . We logged to her account on the 18.10.13 and the amount had increased to £!68.40 which I paid for her by bank transfer that afternoon.

Thinking this was the endof it was astounded to receve a letter dated the 24.10.13 demanding a further £230 .90 from NDR stating the followng

Loan and interest £179.30

Legal Fees £150

Recovery Fees £200

Repayments to date £168.40

Total £230.90

 

Have ignored this so far but am concerned that without contacting them the charges will keep racking up and there may be some legal commitment from my daughter to pay them

Can anyone out there advise .

Worried mum

Please do not worry the fees are wrong, toothfairy, NDR and marshalls hoares are all the same company. Therefore totally out if order. The legal fee ! & NDR fee also illegal charges.

 

Do not pay any more charges, they will say they are passing to home visit team. Joke they never visit, you must report the to oft & fos. Make sure you cancal cards and call the bank ti cancal CPA as well.

 

Read more threads and you will see toothfairy are just a bunch of clowns.

Thanks for this. I will get my daughter to cancel the account her original loan went into and will report to oft and fos also. I have been going through the posts and it is horrific how they treat people . I have never been in this position myself and wish my daughter had spoken to me rather than going to these people. Should I write to NDR and explain we have no intention of paying or just ignore them. I have no desire for her to have a lasting mark on her credit rating for something that is not actually a debt.
