    • 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.

hi...looking for some advice please...
I've been with gregory pennington for 10 yrs its for 5 debts .
I'm thinking of cancelling them now as I'm sick of the harassment to do a yearly update..
even though nothings changed and I'm paying them 38 quid a month for the honour.
my debts have all been moved from the original creditors to debt collection companies.
heres a list ...
Cabot Financial Services Ltd £2307.66 (overdraft ex rbs)
Link Financial Outsourcing Ltd £459.40 (credit card ex mbna)
Cabot £2614.25 (credit card ex rbs)
Wescot Credit Services Limited £5134.48 (credit card ex santander ex
Wescot Credit Services Limited £5182.93 (loan ex santander)

ok heres my questions..
what can i do ?

do i stop payment to greedy pennies and wait till the credit companies get in touch, then send them a separate car for each account..or cancel GP and
get in touch with the companies to make new payment arrangements .

i don't want contact from these leeches as i did and still do have mental health issues with anxiety.

help....any one ?

I think you will need to start giving details of the debts.

It might be an idea to give a quick overview of each one in this thread and then somebody will advise you as to whether or not you should start a new thread for each debt.

In particular, we would need to know the dates that the debt was incurred, original creditor, –

here is the reply from greg pen.

 

Dear xxxxx

 

Thank you for your email regarding closing your Debt Management Plan. To confirm, I have now suspended your plan and also sent over your creditor list as requested. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to provide bank details. I would like the opportunity to discuss this further to ensure there isn’t any further help we can provide. Please provide a suitable time and day to allow us to call.

 

If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to ask.

 

Kind regards,

Sar sent to gp via email ..

 

now waiting for the worms to appear round the corpse of my old debts 

 

just got this email....how do i respond ?

 


Good Afternoon,

Thank-you for your email.

Can you confirm you have received the creditor list which will detail a lift of the creditors to which you owe funds to?

Is there any further information which you require in addition to the creditor list? We can of course arrange to send you any additional information regarding your plan you require.

Also, we are sorry to hear that you want to close your Debt Management Plan and leave Gregory Pennington. We value your custom and would love to continue to help you on your journey to being debt free, is there any particular reason why you have come to the decision to leave Gregory Pennington?

I look forward to hearing from you.

xxxxx
Customer Service Manager

for debts of the age these are very unlikely and ofcourse more than likely unenforceable anyway.
