    • 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 have received a letter from Mortimer Clarke solicitors on behalf of marlin chasing a debt for an Egg credit card.

 

 

The last payment on this account was early 2008 and a default was given in June 2008 so this has now dropped off my credit file.

 

 

A CCA request has been sent on several occasions when I have been chased for payment

and they have never been able to provide a signed CCA which would have been in approx 2000.

 

 

They are now threatening me with court action but I am unsure how/ if I should respond.

 

 

Any advice would be much appreciated as I was originally thinking that I should send them a statute barred letter

but after reading other threads I am not sure if I should send this.

 

 

Should I send a CCA request as I am not sure if I ever sent one to Marlin as they bought the debt in 2013?

 

Many thanks!

If you have sent numerous CCA's previously, then there is absolutely zero point in wasting your time or money sending another.

 

If you are confident that it is SB, then let them waste their time, money and effort flogging this dead horse.

 

If the harassment is getting too much to bear, then send them the SB letter, however it won't mean that they won't sell it on and

another powerless DCA will chance their arm in trying to seek payment.

 

It's up to you, ignore, sit back and laugh at their puerile efforts, or send them the SB letter and anticipate a new game of letter tennis.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

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...

Hello,

just curious, if you inform them it's SB and they then sell it on knowingly then is there not any recourse for reporting them.

 

It seems to me that if they did sell it on knowingly that they would be committing fraud or at least some type of offense.

 

If nothing is in place to prevent the selling on when SB then there should be.

 

Regards to all

who decides its SB'd....

 

 

under the new 2014 FCA CONC rules

a 'creditor' should not continue to harass a debtor if they have proof and been told a debt is statute barred

 

 

but

 

 

if they don't think it is..then they are within their rights to chase payment

and threaten court.

 

 

don't forget in E&W even if a debt IS SB'd

theres nothing to state they cannot ask for payment

and you ask them to go away

 

 

the debt still 'exists'

 

 

its only in Scotland that after 5yrs the debt is TOTALLY extinquished if SB'd....

This is how the whole sordid incestuous world of debt buyers and sellers group continue to finance themselves.

 

They all knowingly sell on portfolios of delinquent debts, and each time they get flogged on, they slowly but surely trickle to the bottom of the cesspit barrel, where they remain, for some random tin pot DCA to chance their scrawny neck and attempt to eek out some sort of payment from an uneducated debtor.
