    • 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,

 

Very quick background before I ask a question....

 

Unfortunately back in Feb last year ME III Ltd got granted a CCJ against me to which I have been paying £25.00 per month since at the order of the Court.

 

Today I have received a letter from MC Sols on behalf of ME III advising the following:

 

''You are currently making payment towards the debt owed to our client.

The concessionary payment arrangement is due to be reviewed

and we therefore request that you contact us within the next 7 days

to discuss your current financial circumstances.

 

 

It is important that you comply with this request.

 

 

Alternatively, please complete and return the enclosed statement of means form

and make an offer of payment within 7 days.

 

 

Our client will consider reasonable offers of payment,

based on what you can afford to pay from your disposable income

and would not require you to pay more than you can afford.

 

 

You should also note that our client may be willing to accept a reduced amount for a lump sum payment to settle the debt.''

 

Am I correct in saying that as the amount I am paying per month was set by the court that I can tell them to get lost? (politely of course)!

 

I was going to email them and copy the court in to the correspondence

but before I get going would someone more knowledgeable than me

mind letting me know what they think / would do in this situation please?

 

Many thanks in advance.

No!!! The court ordered £25 and it would have to go to Court again to have an amendment... You pay what the court ordered...

As its a CCJ i would normally say bin and ignore, however, respond back to them saying;

 

"The £25 PM was ordered by the courts. Any amendment to this Payment Plan, would need to go through them with a Variation Order"

 

We could do with some help from you.

why are they offering a short settlement?

 

 

was this a bank account?

 

 

lots of these YB bank claims by various DCA have failed in court

through help from CAG.

Hi - not sure why they are offering settlement. This was an overdraft from a YB current account.

 

I am a lot more aware of how to defend myself now thanks to CAG - they tried to get a ccj for a credit card but failed! There does seem to be rather a few YB claims circulating at the moment and I think most are flawed.

just puzzled on the settlement.

I did get the statements and after the judgement was entered against me I just filed them all away. I would say that the OD was mainly made up of charges and I have thought about reclaiming if this would be at all possible but not too sure to be fair.

 

 

At the time I started to get into trouble I did try and come to arrangement with YB directly to repay the OD but to be honest they were not very helpful so I closed the account and started banking elsewhere.

 

 

I am annoyed with myself for letting ME III fleece me on this but as they say 'you live and learn' (albeit the hard way)!

if these charges were from nov 2009

 

 

then you might find BCOBS aligned with hardship

[which you already appear to have alerted YB about] useful

Morning,

 

 

Sorry just thought of another question before I fire an email off to them this morning...

 

 

The CCJ has not been reported, ie, does not appear on Trust Online or on my credit report - has anyone ever had this happen and if I send an email and this 'ruffles their feathers' would they be able to report it after a year? I have tried searching to see if anyone else has had this happen and can't find any relevant posts.

 

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you absolutely definitely unequivocally positively certain that you received a CCJ, as opposed to M C just rattling on to con you into believing one had been granted?

 

You did receive a claimform, didn't you?

 

Three things puzzle me -

1. The absence of a mention of CCJ in the extract you quoted from M C letter.

2. Not showing on trustonline.

3. Use of that [offensive] phrase "concessionary payment arrangement". A court's determination doesn't constitute a concession, which comes across more like a favour: rather, it is the judge's assessment of your ability to pay.

 

Forgive me if I've got the wrong end of the stick.

Hi Oleg,

 

 

No problem - thanks for your reply. Definitely a CCJ I'm afraid :(

 

 

I received a Claim Form and once the whole process was over I received a Court stamped order to pay the whole amount which I obviously couldn't afford so I sent them my I & E and a request on the necessary form to vary the amount to £25.00 per month. The Court then sent me a Court stamped order stating that from 12th February last year I was to pay said amount.

 

 

It is just very strange that nothing is registered (I'm not complaining though).

 

 

I have made payment every month by STO and I set it up for 3 days before it is due so as to be certain no payments missed - it is going to take a few yrs to pay off but I just cannot afford to give them more or a lump sum.

Well I have just sent them an email advising:

 

''As my £25.00 per month was an amount ordered by the Court in this matter any change to this amount would have to be subject to a Variation Order direct from the Court?

 

 

As you are aware I am making the required payment every month without fail even though my circumstances have deteriorated some what since the date of the original order.

 

 

I look forward to receiving a statement of account as soon as possible regarding the payments made as to date I do not appear to have received anything?''

 

 

 

 

Will keep you posted if anything happens.

 

 

Thanks for all the input, it is appreciated. :)

Hello,

 

Just to let you know that I have today had a letter from MC advising that the original letter I received was sent in error and they have apologised for their mistake. They have provided a statement of account from the date of the judgement up until this month.

it was a YB current a/c OD - the bank account itself was opened at the end of the 80's sometime (can't remember exactly when though as a long time ago!). There would have been charges I'm pretty sure.

 

 

I am going to send a SAR off I think to see what they come back with.
