    • 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.

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...

  • 2 months later...

Just an update on this, received a letter from Cabot a few weeks ago requesting I get in touch to start making payments, the more I ignore the more I will receive. 

 

Sent one two weeks later saying I hadnt responded to their letter from two weeks before and again the more I ignore the more I will receive etc. 

 

Seems they are getting a bit more aggressive, keep on ignoring until such a time I receive a letter of/before claim? I read somewhere that PAP doesn't apply in Scotland? 

 

Could anyone point me in the right direction for the process I'd need should it come to that? Just so I can be clued up as early as possible. 

 

Thanks in advance.

They will continue to send these impotent payment demands until the heat death of the universe.

We could do with some help from you.

Hi guys, 

 

Did a bit more digging re the MBNA side of things and called Virgin Money tonight, they informed me that MBNA stopped issuing the cards in 2014 and all cards after were issued by themselves, Virgin Money as their own bank/entity. 

 

This would explain why MBNA held no info.

 

They also said they are now partners with Clydesdale. 

 

I've asked Virgin Money for a SAR and said this should be with me within 30 days. 

 

Any further suggestions/reassurance in the interim whilst I wait for the documentation?

oh goody usual crap then...

 

under data protection rules

and 

the prevention of fraud act

they MUST hold your data for a minimum of 6yrs

 

so go ring the little liars

record the call too and get each persons full name and dept.

 

quote the above

 

if you need to ask to speak to a supervisor do so.

 

should they fail to now agree to comply with your SAR

state as soon as you finish this call you will be contacting the ICO and raising a serious complaint against them and seeking financial compensation

Called up again, Virgin still did not want to play ball. Told me I have to still go via Cabot, I told them that's a load of crap and I'm well within my rights under GDPR and data protection laws to request that directly from Virgin.

 

Round and round it went with me being put on hold whilst the poor lass spoke to her supervisor.

 

Ended with we are going to get our back office to look into it and they will call you back, I can't give you an exact time when, and I can't promise you they'll be able to fulfil the request because the process should go via Cabot, but they'll look into it for you.

 

Should I hold out to see whether they respond before going about putting a complaint into the ICO?

I would re send the SAR to their Data protection officer and MD, explaining in a covering letter that one the person in  call centre (I hope you go their name) refused to comply with a GDPR request. A breach of GDPR has a fine of up to 2% of global turnover, and bearing that in mind if I've not heard back within a week I will be reporting this and sending all relevant proof to the Information Commissioners office to make a formal complaint

We could do with some help from you.

Yep mentioned that but the poor girl had no clue what I was talking about.

 

Think MBNA are innocent on this one since they have nothing to do with the card. What do I need to say to ICO do we have a template letter?

No they are not innocent!!

They are unlawfully withholding your data

 

There are only 2 answers you want out of them

Either:

 

1 if your last payment is outside of 6yrs, thus the data is too, so they must confirm this by saying so..debt is SB'd

 

2. Its not outside 6yrs they must give it to you.

 

bugger all to do with cabot a debt buyer

I agree bugger all to do with Cabot - I'm saying MBNA are not the party at fault, as the issuing bank is Virgin.

 

MBNA stopped issuing Virgin cards in 2014 and Virgin became their own entity - which is why my original SAR to MBNA came up with no information to give me. 

 

ICO recommend I send a letter to Virgin and give them the allowed amount of days to respond so that there is an evidence trail if it needs to go further.

Thanks for all the help with this one dx100uk I appreciate it. 

 

Not sure I follow, your comment about the date varies, I only recall ever saying I took it out in 2016, there were other ones unrelated to this from earlier dates, but that to the side, it's good to know SB is 5 years in Scotland.

 

I'll send a written SAR as advised here and and see what comes of it in time.

 

Thanks again.

MIm a bit puzzled by it also but the only thing Cabot ever sent was the electronic application for credit which wasnt dated or signed and the generic T&Cs and a statement showing payments to Cabot prior to CCA request.

 

It may just be that Virgin dont have the records which will be good news for me?

 

Back to work on Thursday so will print off a SAR and send.

Received a threatogram from Cabot, stating how seriously they take this, and how they have given me ample time to respond.

 

They are giving me 9 days to respond to this letter otherwise they will look into other options to collect.

This may include a doorstep agent coming to discuss the account.
