    • 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.

From what i can see the default is not showing anymore. From Aug 2009 when they gave me the default it just shows 3 in red meaning late payments,

 

Then from for the next 2 years its greyed out to say that no information is available

and then for the last 3 months says 6 in red.

 

How can they do this?

 

Does this mean i get another default so i have to wait another 6 years?

 

 

I already done 2 years of the default.

Odd, I think you should write to HFCs compliance

manager, and demand an explanation of the entry,

copy the letter to the CRAs and place a notice of

dispute on you credit files.

Out of interest what is the ''start date'' on the entry.?

You mean ask them why they have removed the default and added arrears in place of it?

 

That start date is 21/2/2001. They placed the default Sept 2009 and only just recently updated my file in Dec with 6 months late.

 

Thanks

Hi all Long time no speak.

 

Well again HFC are trying to wear me down. My credit file has been updated. They have removed the default and have put that i am 6 months in arrers. This is really annoying as they defualted me 3 years ago.

I wrote to them to ask why they have done this and i am yet to get a reply. In the mean time i have received another letter from a DCA to say my acccount has been passed to them and i need to get in touch in 72 hours. What shall i do? I dont think they will ever leave me alone :|

They are not allowed to change the original date of Default. I think you might need to contact the Information Commissioner regarding this.

 

The case was dismissed wasnt it ?

No I dont because it is all done on line. But surley they have to default you before they take you to court? And they did take to me to Court so there is no denying that.

 

Sorry to be a bit Dim but who are the ICO and how do i contact them?

 

Thanks

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

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...

Hi dx100uk. Sorry for the late reply. I called the ICO and they have advised me I have to give them 28 days to reply to my letter. (The letter i sent was to ask why they removed the default and made my account 6 months in arrers.)

 

If i dont hear from them I can make a complaint against the creditor for putting wrongful information on my credit file. Its been 2 weeks since i sent the letter. And in that time i receieved a letter from a DCA.

 

Thanks

Hi

 

I need some help with this. I got a letter back from HFC to say they couldnt find the account in my name or address, and the credit file i sent to them does not show the creditors name or my name and address and could i please send the whole credit file so they can answer my querey correctly.

 

1. How can they not find the account in my name and my address? They have been sending letters and took my to court under my married name (not my maiden name when the account was opened).

 

2. I dont really want to send them my whole credit file. I printed this online. So is difficult to get just there info without putting other credit info on with it.

 

Are they just stalling for more time? What Should i do?

 

Thanks

I would write back the following

 

"As your company have totally failed to keep proper records and now are asking for information they are not entitled to have I am taking you to court without further notice - I would remind you that defamation claims carry a very high penalty and could cost your company its CCL licence.

 

Details of this case are going to the OFT, Trading Standards, Ministry of Justice, local MP and various newspapers."

 

Keep it short and sharp and they will get the message. They are taking the proverbial here. If they cannot match you with their records then you are clearly not the debtor, the onus of proof is on THEM, not YOU.
