    • 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 I took out a payment plan over four months with Wonga which I met on time, and have now settled the balance.

 

Unfortunately, Wonga has decided to mark this loan as defaulted on my credit report, despite the agreement of a payment plan, and the subsequent meeting of payments.

 

Do I have grounds to question this default? :(

Hi dave. Can you tell us the date the payment arrangement was made, and the date the closing payment was made. Also, what was the date wonga put on there, and did they send any kind of a default notice before doing so?

 

 

Also, what was the overall time you had the loan, from receiving the money, to the final payment? And how long from receiving the loan to the payment plan being accepted?

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Hi RenegadeImp

 

I took the loan out on 28th December 2012, and negotiated the payment plan on January 28th 2013.

 

Payments

 

Feb 28th 2013 - £402.39

March 28th 2013 - £402.39

April 28th 2013 - £402.39

May 29th 2013 - £275

 

I did not receive any default notice from Wonga. In fact they assured me over the phone it wouldn't count as a default if I met my payments.

 

Thanks for your help!

Sounds like you can contest the default. However, the problem you will have is you spoke to a phone rep and you dont have any evidence of what was said.

 

In the first instance, i would write down everything you can remember about the loan, right from the start, then form a full complaint.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Hi Renegade

 

My account was set to default on 1st May 2013 with a balance of £275 - 28 days before my last payment of £275 was due,

and the balance is now marked as satisified in experian.

 

I had met all the payments of my plan in full and on time before this.

 

Do I need to make the formal complaint via Wonga, or a third party?

 

Pretty gutted to be honest, after I thought I had conquered my payday loan nightmare.

I would make it direct to their data controller and place a dispute with the credit record agency. Wonga will try and say it is fair, but it isnt. Especially when we have a lot of people on here who go 6 months + and no default is registered.

Hi I was just wondering how you got on with this?

 

I will be negotiating a 2 month (or 60 day) payment plan this month on the 25th (payment is due 28th), I have called them to ask if this will be marked as a default on my credit file and the advisor has told me that they will not mark a default within the 1st 120 days of the due date, if you have not settled within 120 days they will default me, it will just show as late payments untill then so I should be fine.

However you say they marked you as delfault after 90 days???

This worries me! Did they remove the default for you in the end?

 

My plan will be as follows £500 28th Sept

£500 28th Oct

£270 28th Nov

 

So as you can see it will be settled within 2 months of the original due date.

The fact any mark is on your file from a bad could look bad in a lenders eyes. Thats why most pdls dont report to the files unless they ate blackmailing you when you are trying to repay.
