    • 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.

Did head your letter "Formal Complaint". If not, I would send the same letter but add the heading. They are obliged to respond within 8 weeks with either a resolution or a final response letter so you can then escalate your complaint to the Ombudsman.

ROb sands is indeed real, and he is the compliance director. basically his job is to ensure the company follows the law. And as you can see, he really needs to be sacked.

 

Mike, is a fictional person that MMF use to threaten and bully people into paying.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

They know what theyre doing , they know that people will instinctively search theyre name and you can see that the web site is directed at people worrying when they recieve one of mikes answerphone messages . How on earth are they still operating , they must have caused some considerable worry to some people . Really is a bad out fit .

Self same position as you (or should I say a friend of mine is)

 

If they send Email, she replies to it a minimum of fifty times although she ignores the content

 

Still waiting for a reply from Rob Sands :)

 

Actually hoping for one of these notorious Doorstep visits so the police can be called, person visiting car reg/name etc taken and will add weight to the complaint to the FOS.

Just hate every DCA out there

'Mike' would appear to have at least 2 jobs with MMF. As well being spending months leaving messages saying that he's a doorstep collector and is coming round 'in a few days' the same voice as 'Mike' also leaves messages from the 'MMF Home Visit Department' explaining that if you don't ring to sort it out then they will be forced to pass it on to a collector. So 'Mike' would seem to be a doorstep collector moonlighting as an office worker, passing accounts to himself to collect!

 

 

Incidentally, to those who advise MMF never give up, they um...seem to have given up in my case. I have an SB debt which MMF bought last August (when it was already SB...bid of a dead duck for them there). Never received a single letter from them but this was more than made up for with phone calls, text messages and emails which all curiously got sent in the middle of the night which went on for 7 months. I ignored them totally due to the lack of anything in writing and that the debt was SB.

 

 

Last thing I got from them was an outrageous text message which basically said that they were preparing my account for legal action without further warning and if the case goes to court and I'm not there then they will rely on the text message as evidence that I knew about it!

 

 

That was over a month ago, not heard a peep out of them since from any means of communication.

It does seem that this company has many " departments" and few staff, perhaps "Mike" is Barry Ellershaw in another hat!

The use of threats of court action as a means of debt collection when there is little likelihood of this being possible or being successful should be reported to the FCA,

Ive been getting a new email from Sharon , i think its one of Mikes girlfriends as Sharon also knows how to send threats , Sharon also struggles with reading the content of the email you send , but sharon does read it , so now i have someone who i can challenge by name surely i can hold her responsible personally and direct any/all complaints at her personally as its easier than directing it a company , correct ? im sure i read this somewere that they should act responsible but when they hide behind a company its harder to prove , but if you get the name of someone then they become fully responsible for all actions .

Not really. If 'Sharon' breaks the law then in theory you could bring a private prosecution against her but in practice the company is liable for the actions of their employees whilst performing duties for the company. Personal liability is usually restricted to company directors, or a restricted set of offences which the law has deemed serious enough to warrant holding individuals to account (such as alcohol sales to minors). Also since MMF have form for inventing staff (such as 'Mike'), I very much doubt that 'Sharon' is anything more than whoever sends her emails that day.

  • 2 weeks later...

Evidently I spoke too soon with my SB debt. After months of sending 'Mike' round 'in the next few days' (who never turned up) and 2 months since 'preparing my account for legal action' they have now stopped messing around and have transferred my account to the 'Legal Department' ('Protection House' must be one hell of a complex, to accommodate this gigantic department structure they have!).

 

 

 

Oh, and they've made yet another reduced settlement offer to boot, but warn that I have only 5 days to take them up on said generous offer to prevent 'further legal action' (further action? There hasn't been any action yet!)

 

I found this out today from an email. Laughingly, they advised I should reply with my name, current address and date of birth in order to comply with the Data Protection Act - which they've just breached by listing details of a creditor and an amount owed without first verifying that I'm the correct person!

MMF do indeed need to have their licence revoked. As far as i know text messages have no legal standing just as email default notices don't although i do not think that has been tested in court.

As has been said they do not reply and blame a backlog of correspondence. I have had written replies to written complaints but i think they are cut n paste jobs as they do not resolve the issues

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

The more reports they get, the more chance of them having their licence revoked.

This might sound like a strange one, but The 2 do have the same tone in their voices from when ive spoken to Barry and Listened to the Mike VM.

 

Also their legal department do exist and he is a registeted solicitor, but i wonder just how far MMF will take this.

 

Still think we need to continue complaining about the monkeys that be.

 

We could do with some help from you.

Yes if people stop complaining at this stag of the emergence of the FCA as regulator impact may well be lost!

I think you could well be right here about "Barry and Mike.. also there is a common tone to letters from Sands and Ellershaw imo.

 

 

Chatrath their "solicitor" does not seem to write very often and the idea that others making threats that your case has been "passed" to our legal department I think do not have the effect MMF may be hoping for, given the general crass

responses from the company.

 

 

Keep Complaining!!!!
