    • 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.

I have just found out my debt management firm is no longer trading saw this:

 

RMR Financial Services Ltd, formerly trading as Compass Debt Counsellors, has stopped trading and no longer offers debt management services.

 

The firm’s interim permission from the FCA, which firms must have if they wish to offer debt management services, lapsed on 8 March 2016. AARBS Ltd (insolvency practitioners) is holding a meeting of the firm’s creditors on 30 March 2016. RMR’s bank accounts have been frozen. This means that the firm will not be requesting direct debits from clients’ accounts and standing order payments will be rejected and returned to customers’ bank accounts.

 

This is an evolving situation and during the transitional period we would expect creditors that are authorised by us to show forbearance.

 

The company was holding around £500 of my money will i be able to claim it back what should i do first im clueless and extremely worried

stop paying the ruddy fleecers

you should never ever use a fee paying DMC.

 

I doubt you'll ever see your money again.

 

'someone' will pick up the portfolio

just don't get sucked in again to being doubly done over

once by each SCA you are blindly paying

and by a fee paying DMC

 

list your debts please

who the original creditor was

what type of credit

what you took it out

who you were paying through the DMP.

 

ever sent any of them a CCA request

to check they legally hold the require paperwork to even demand money from you?

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...

There's a creditors meeting on 30 March.

It appears that Compass stopped paying creditors in December/January despite accepting payments from debtors. Their T&Cs state that the F&F 'pots' are held in 'trust' but the administrator is yet to confirm it.

 

Some creditors are being approached by Abbey Solicitors suggesting that creditors should continue paying them to have their agreements reviewed for unenforceability.

 

One of the 3 RMR directors is the husband of Conservative MP Amanda Solloway.

BBC Look North have just interviewed someone who was pretty much near to the point where his debts were supposed to be finished only to find he is still £thousands of pounds in debt.

Hundreds of lives left in ruins as debt management firm run by Tory MP's husband goes bust: At least 500 households facing the loss of large sums of money

 

Derby North MP Amanda Solloway's husband Rob ran controversial firm

It also promised to reduce the amount of money that each client owed

Compass Debt Counsellors went into voluntary liquidation this year

Some clients have paid out thousands while not clearing any of their debts

I think it is now time to force DCAs and creditors to accept payment plans that debtors can afford so they are not put in a position where they need to use this type of company.

 

One of the main reasons that people use DMPs is that the pressure is off them with regards letters and telephone calls.

 

It is looking like some of these companies are like ponzi schemes. Then sadly when there are a lot of people coming up to the time where their creditors should be paid from the "pot" there is no longer any money left in it.

Hi sorry its taken so long to update but i'm finally sorted.

Taking the advice i was given here i have contacted every one who was owed money.

Not all of them were even aware there was a problem with compass.

They all put my accounts on hold for between 30 and 90 days to allow me to work out what was happening and have all accepted direct payments offers from me since.

Without the encouragement i got here i would never have done it and would likely be getting screwed over by a new firm as we speakk

 

THANKYOU ALL

Fluffy.
