    • 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.

Good Morning nevaehstarr,

 

Firstly, my apologies for not commenting previously.

 

Secondly, I was not aware that the representatives from the store were still visiting as I had informed them of your request and your account was updated accordingly.

 

I can confirm I have received your emails and they have been added to your complaint. I have been working in the background to get the visits stopped for you and not had a chance to email you my update.

 

I have been in contact with your local store first thing this morning to ensure no further visits are made, as per your request and this has been agreed.

 

I would like to apologise once again that you have been made to feel this way but BrightHouse are very aware of your situation and no more visits will take place.

 

Many thanks

 

Jason

Jason it's understandable that you say sorry to a poster, sorry means you made a mistake and will learn about it and not make the same mistake again

 

Something your company fail to do on a daily basis. I have personally seen your door step animals in action. I'm not a customer and never will be. They are totally unprofessional and rude. That Treat someone's front door like they are cops/bailiffs they are neither.

 

It's about time your company had a total rethink about debt recovery and make significant changes to your policies.

 

This way your image will not get any further tarnished than it already is. Posters like this one shouldn't need to come to a public forum to seek advice from Joe public should they?

 

I suggest this poster escalates this complaint to an official complaint and then once it's been investigated they make more complaints to the relevant bodies.. Many on CAG would probably agree with this advice...

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and leave a note to let me know, thank you.

Note to poster:

you should copy the response from Jason just in case their goons call at your home again.

This way you have proof of harassment by this company.

Then complain to the relevant bodies immediately.

Jason's email is prima facie evidence that Brighthouse indeed are harassing you, print a copy of the email, and if they call again call the police and show them the email, and ask the police to remove the Brighthouse bullies.

We could do with some help from you.

Good Morning nevaehstarr,

 

I am sorry to hear you have not had a response to your letter regarding your offer of payment.

 

I understand a letter in response to the home visits was sent to your property on 22 January confirming all visits from a BrightHouse representative have been ceased. This letter also states what steps are required in order to assist with bringing the account back up to date.

 

A suitable payment solution will be confirmed once we have spoken to the account holder in order to fully understand the circumstances. The easiest way to do this is to have a discussion with the Store Manager, but as you have requested for written correspondence only, we have had difficulty confirming this with you.

 

BrightHouse understands that financial situations change and provide many ways to help bring the account back up to date. Each individual's circumstances are taken into consideration and the Store Manager will be happy to discuss the account and offer of payment with you.

 

We kindly request that you contact your local store at the earliest convenience to discuss your account.

 

Many thanks

Good afternoon nevaehstarr,

 

I am sorry to hear you have had visits to your property again after I had assured you this would not happen.

 

I have spoken to your local store and raised the question as to why there has been home visits and calls after a note was added to the account.

 

This has now been raised to higher management to ensure this does not happen again.

 

Your number has also been removed from the automatic dialler.

 

Please accept my sincere apologies for the recent visit.

 

In regards to the payment, as I previously stated, a conversation into your finances would need to take place before we can look into accepting any offer to ensure it is suitable for your circumstances.

 

If you have any further concerns to raise, please do not hesitate to let me know.

 

Many thanks

It will happen though. Its part and parcel of your entire business methods jason. You know it is, but you keep ignoring and trying to sidestep the issue.

 

As for finances, you know very well that can be done in writing or email. It does not need to be verbal or face to face.

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..

Time to escalate this complaint. Get the relevant bodies involved. It's obvious that BH cannot control their staff and continue to harass a customer.

 

It's time that Jason sends you a good will gesture payment, after all it is proved that this was after notes being placed on the account stating no more visits.

 

But I bet that doesn't happen. Will be pleasantly surprised if it does...
