Case No. 14/00029
A debt collection prompted a car owner to lodge
a complaint: He had booked a car valuation on
the internet, but had regretted and cancelled
within two weeks which he considered his right.
However, the company that sold the car valuation maintained that he should pay and wrote to
him that they considered taking legal action.
The media had mentioned the Danish Consumer
Ombudsman in connection with internet-based
car valuation companies. The car owner was not
aware that there are two ombudsmen, and consequently the Parliamentary Ombudsman received his complaint about the car valuation by
mistake.
The Danish Parliamentary Ombudsman could not
process the complaint, and he passed it on to
the Danish Consumer Ombudsman.
The Ombudsman cannot investigate complaints
against private enterprises and private citizens.
