    • 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.

How do these work exactly.

 

I have a loan with Mobile money but they don't have the log book as they gave me the loan when I first had the car and had sent off for the log book.

 

As I am now in financial difficulties with them, how can they seize the car without the book?

 

Also, could I still sell the car and then pay them back rather than them seizing it and selling it cheap?

I too was stupid to take out a loan with one of these companies, Won't say which one for obvious reasons. I am keeping up with the payments and intend to pay them off as i feel it was my own stupidity which led me to take out a loan with them.

They do not have my log book either, and on checking my copy of the BoS, i have noticed that my signature is not on it, but i remember signing for the loan (about 18 months ago).Does any one know if this is valid or not and can they register HPI without the log book.

I stupidly, stupidly, stupidly had a loan with these for 2 grand, against my car.

Monthly payments were £200 interest and £83 off loan x 24 months

 

Now I can't pay but I need my car.

I am arrears of about £250 as I wasn't able to pay the £83 for 3 months.

Charges also at £12 per letter/late payment.

 

What would you guys do?

Can they just take away car if I can't pay or do they have to go through court process?

Hi Ya

 

They have to deal with you fairly under the guidelines issued by the OFT and the FSA - they are not supposed to harrass debtors at all... you should be able to go into an arrangement to repay the arrears.......

 

They cannot LEGALLY charge you for each and every letter they send you at all!!! The Law in the CCA 2006 advises how often they can apply a charge to your account - it is only once every six months I believe from memory....

 

Mobile Money I believe have a similar business model to Log book Loans, so that the loan is secured by a bill of sale against your car - if this is the case - they cannot LEGALLY take your car without the order of a court.

 

Hope this helps

Hi Ya,

 

All the answers you need will be contained in the threads in relation to Nine Regions/Logbook loans especially if you have been advised that a bill of sale is party to the agreement...

oooops - pressed submit by accident when typing reply to this thread....

 

What I wanted to post was that Caggers have successfully taken these type of lender to court and won their claims....

 

A bill of Sale is based on very old legislation - the lenders fail to recognise that the bos legislation has been updated and continue to use the draconian methods of the old Act instead of the unpdated 1882 - not only that - they also use parts of one and ignore parts in the other - and totally forget the CCA 1974 and its correlation with the BoS's Acts..

 

This is the lenders way of making sure you haveno idea where you stand legally.

 

But, rather than repeat what is already said in other posts to do with Bills of Sale and CCA's - see the threads - this will help : )

I'm in a very much identical boat to this, I took out £800 from MM back in 2010, the total pay back would be around £1300 if I paid the full amount and not just the intrest of £120pcm. This was on a 6 month contract and if I just paid the intrest, then the fial settlement would have been £800. Un fortunatly when it came to the end of the 6 month I lost my job, so was forced to have to sign another agreement for 6 month at the same rate. I got another job and was doing ok and then low and behold I got made redundant from that one, so yet again I had to sign a new contract with MM.

 

Now according to them, when I signed the new aggreement. It was for 12 month, as they were no longer able to offer the 6 month contract, to which would have been better and the intrest went up by £40. So I'm now having to pay the minimum, which is £160pcm and a final payout yet again of £800. So far I have paid MM a total of £1440 from the original two 6 month loans and £960 for the last 6 month of the 12 month contract, totaling £2400 which is £1000 over the original contract.

 

Now I beleive that with car finance, if you pay 70% or more. That you can demand a lower settlement without the intrest. But how does this work with a BOS, as one was signed at the time of the original agreement and surely something can be done in the terms of paying more back on the original loan.

 

All help is appreciated.

Any Civil Law Solicitor can help, however I would find out first if there is a BOS and if it is registered or not on the date or up to 14 days after the agreement was taken out. As once you find out that it's not, you can enforce civil action against mobile money for falsifying documents (These are the threats of taking your car), as without a BOS they don't own the car and legally can not take it. Which would also mean that the loan agreement is false as well, as it's written in accordance with the BOS and without a registered BOS the loan is void in terms of the conditions.

 

I'm currently in pursuit of mobile money and anything that I find out, I will post here for you. As this is a company that reel you in and don't let go, especially to either people on very low income or no income at all.

 

Also be aware, if they state on the letter that the late fee is administration charges for the loan and not a late fee, they can only charge this twice in any 6 month period.

 

Just to add a bit more information for you, as I've just found this out. Check your BOS & Your Loan Agreement, if either of the information with regards to payment terms are incorrect, both agreements are void and I would advise seeking legal action for this.

Hi, not sure if I am allowed to tag on to this thread or maybe I should have started a new one. Sorry this is a long one too!

 

A mutual friend of mine & my husband (who is now my estranged husband) kindly bought a car for my husband to set up a taxi business on 1st Nov 2011. There was no business partnership, just a verbal agreement between the 3 of us that my husband would start to repay £50 per week from 2nd week in Nov to compensate our friend for loss of interest for withdrawing money from his savings account. We also agreed that from January 2012 we would start to set aside larger sums of money so that by then end of the first 12 months of the taxi business my husband would be able to repay our friend all of the money he paid for the vehicle plus the set up costs he also loaned him.

 

My husband left our family home on 1st Dec but continued to run his taxi business. He never paid a penny back to our friend although it was agreed that he should have been paying £50 per week. On Christmas Eve my husband was arrested on an assault charge & our friend took his car back only to discover that my husband had taken a loan against the vehicle with Mobile Money.

 

The issues are - my husband was not the legal owner of the car although he was the registered keeper but the V5 clearly states that it is not proof of ownership, Mobile Money state on their website that you must be the legal owner of the vehicle but they accept the V5 as proof. Mobile Money state that you need to show proof of income, my husband signed for this loan on 29th Nov - he would not have had any proof of income at that stage. The CA and BoS are signed by the same person - an employee of Mobile Money, also they show different figures for monthly repayments.

 

Can my friend argue that the BoS is invalid to protect his vehicle - it's locked away at the moment as he is afraid to use it in case MM turn up to take it away.

 

Thanks

To answer your question, even though the purchase of the car was through a friend, the legality of who owns the car would be your husband (Unless a contractual agreement was signed prior to the car being bought). You friend under the data protection act, wouldn't be able to discuss anything with regards to the mobile money account with mobile money, as the loan lays with your husband and so couldn't even challenge the BOS as that is also in your husbands name.

 

Now depending on when your husband took out the loan with Mobile Money, the DVLA have recently issued and still in the process of issuing new V5 documents, which if the original V5 document is green and being held by mobile money, then the V5 is invalid and can no longer be used.

 

Now if your friend has proof that he is the legal owner, then the BOS and Credit Agreement do become invalid, as the money would be classed as fraudulently obtained by your husband. Valid proof would be a BOS from the place the car was bought, with your friends signature as ownership on the BOS and valid receipts of money to the amount of the car going from your friends account IE: Credit Card Transaction. With these and a good solicitor, it can then be argued that the money was obtained fraudulently and that though your husband is on the V5, the ownership belongs to some else.

 

Without anything as valid proof and I hate to be blunt, but your friend would be up a creek without a paddle and it would be down to your husband to either pay off the loan or contest the BOS.

Hi Guys,

 

Some years ago I wrote about my "Mobile Money nightmare"

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?327759-Mobile-Money-debt-ruining-life&p=3623509#post3623509

 

I managed to finally pay off £3000 in 2013 by re-mortgaging.

It has cost me a fortune.

7 years I was in this trap.

I would pay some of, then go back to them, they never did any credit checks as they had the car if it went wrong.

I estimate I paid them back £28,000 for £6,000 in actual money borrowed.

 

Of course, if you went back and borrowed £500, £300 would be to pay off previous amount, so although you had £200 in pocket, you owed another £300 on top of your old debt.

 

Anyway, with all the refunds being given by the pay day loan companies I was wondering if I should try and get back some of the money from these. I mean I think it would be difficult, because they are quite aggressive to deal with, but what do you guys think?
