    • 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 all, If possible need some advice on Triton, sent them a cca request on 8th Feb, this is what I got back

 

Notice of Legal proceedings

 

Saying if I don't pay up they will be granting a ccj against me.

 

The enforcement options open to us are as follows:

1. The county court balliff visitsyou at home and takes away possessions to sell of and set against debt.

2. A charge is placed aginst your property or assets which would remain on the land regestry records until the debt is paid.

3. Your emplyoer deducts monies from your salary or wages to set of against your debt.

4. You attend court and submit to a personal detailed examination, under oath, of your personal finantial affairs before a senior officer of the court or District Judge.

 

 

Bla Bla Bla

 

If someone could help it would be great as I can't see how they should get away with send letters like this as I see this as a threat.

Hi eastender

 

All those are what could,might,maybe happen if they went to Court got a ccj and you defaulted on that

 

They are not quite past the time limit for a CCA request so for now just ignore the threat for that's all it is and as soon as the 12+2 days have elapsed the account goes into dispute and there's a letter that can be sent accordingly

 

Try to sit back relax and be ready to fight back when the time comes ;)

 

 

Good luck

They sound like unlawful threats but without seeing the letter..... you need to ensure there is no ambiguity, no MAY instead of WILL.

 

If they have stepped over the mark, refer them to Trading Standards(the firms local office) first for non-compliance of s78 and their response to it and also OFT for breaking guidance, they cannot claim steps they cannot take.... and they cannot take any of the enforcement actions WITHOUT any judgment taking place first unless they have already taken you to court?

If they have the information i am asking, why don't they just send it?

 

99.99% of the time they dont, they only purchase the debt in the form of a spreadsheet entry usually. When you CCA they have to go back to the original lender to get the details.

You almost answer your own question with the first word you write . . IF

Chances are they haven't and are trying to bully you into paying up, standard tactic

Hi all, if someone could give me some advice as to the credit agreement sent to me from Mint . It was a online credit card agreement. Are they all binding, as it isn't signed by me but just a tick in a box. if someone could give me some advice I would be very grateful.

Electronic signatures are accepted in law but that doesn't mean the application form is an enforceable agreement. It is impossible to say without seeing it. What year did you apply? If possible scan it on here covering over your personal details.

The friend I'm helping has just received the exact same letter from Triton. Is this reply ok to send back?

----------------------------------------------

I am in receipt of your letter dated *** with the heading NOTICE OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, the contents of which are noted.

 

You state in your letter that you have now recommended to National Westminster Bank Plc that solicitors should be instructed to commence court proceedings against me. However, to date, and despite repeated requests, you have failed to provide me with any documentation to substantiate your allegations that a legally enforceable debt exists.

 

In your reply to my legal request made under s77-78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, you state that there is no obligation for you to provide a copy of the original agreement bearing signatures, nor does it need to contain a signature box or dates of signature.

 

In my reply to you dated *****, I informed you that I had reason to believe that there may be discrepancies within the agreement which render it improperly executed and respectfully asked that you provide me with a true copy of the original agreement in its unaltered form.

 

Whilst I appreciate that under the Consumer Credit (Cancellation Notices and Copies of Documents) Regulations 1983 you are able to omit a signature and date box from the copy, I do not think it is a lot to ask for you to simply go and fetch the original agreement, photocopy it and pop it in an envelope to me. The only reason that I can presume avoidance of such a simple process is if you never actually had a copy of the original signed agreement, in which case may I remind you that OFT Guidance clearly states that lenders would be acting unfairly, and potentially in breach of their consumer credit license, if they misled borrowers by hiding or disguising the fact that there was never a signed agreement in the first place.

 

For clarification, the document you sent, purporting to be a credit agreement, does not contain all of the prescribed terms as required by section 60(1) Consumer Credit Act 1974. The Consumer Credit (Agreements) Regulations 1983 (SI 1983/1553) made under the authority of the “1974 Act” sets out what the prescribed terms are. I refer you to Schedule 6 Column 2 of SI 1983/1553 for the definition of what is required. Suffice to say, all of the required terms are not present in this document. Since this document does not contain the required prescribed terms it is rendered unenforceable by s127 (3) consumer Credit Act 1974, which states:

 

127(3) The court shall not make an enforcement order under section 65(1) if section 61(1)(a)(signing of agreements) was not complied with unless a document (whether or not in the prescribed form and complying with regulations under section 60(1)) itself containing all the prescribed terms of the agreement was signed by the debtor or hirer (whether or not in the prescribed manner).

 

This situation is backed by case law from the Lords of Appeal in Ordinary (House of Lords) the highest court in the land. Your attention is drawn to the authority of the House of Lords in Wilson-v- FCT [2003] All ER (D) 187 (Jul) which confirms that where a document does not contain the required terms under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 the agreement cannot be enforced.

 

In addition, should you continue to pursue me for this alleged debt you will be in breach of OFT guidelines. These guidelines (issued July 2003 & updated December 2006) relate to debt collections and what the OFT considers unfair. I have enclosed an excerpt from page 5 of the guidance which states;

 

• 2.6 Examples of unfair practices are as follows:

h. Ignoring and/or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment

 

As it stands this account is clearly unenforceable and I expect you to write back and confirm that no further action will be taken and that the account is now closed and no further correspondence will take place. Any further threats will be averred as unlawful and vexatious with a counter-claim forthcoming.

 

I wish to remind you that I am still awaiting a response to my Subject Access Request and will enter into no further correspondence with you until you have fully complied with my request.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, I do not acknowledge any debt to you or your company.

 

I trust this clarifies the situation for you.

 

Yours faithfully

Hi all, could someone help me with this as im tearing my hair out. I made a f&f settlemrnt with Triton, they sent me a letter to confirm that it had to be paid by 14 days of the date on the letter. I sent them a cheque by Special delivery and they recived it and signed for it but have'nt cashed it. I now called them to ask them why not and they have told me that I have sent it to there head office address and it was the wrong address so the agreement is now off and they will take me to court for the full balance. I have sent other cheques to the same address and they have cashed those ok. Please help if you can.
