    • 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.

Is there any way to discuss the possibility of a reduced final payment with them without accepting the debt is mine? (a long shot I know!)

 

do not panic at this stage, if pre 2006/7 then it might be unenforceable, lets wait and see, why give money to fleecers when you may not need too, too early to judge that road yet!

We normally recommend you head your request with " I do not acknowledge any debt with your company " when requesting an agreement from an assignee.

they could start the ball rolling if their employer tells them to but they would then have to cease any action to comply with that request and that will be wasted time and money for them.

more than anything they want to wake you up so the faster the cca request gets there the less likely they are to think you are just going to ignore them and let them win by default.

Chris I think you will find that what eric was saying is that they wanted to panic you in to making

payments and as you know your reaction was to start offering them 3k, so as you can see their

threat of a CCJ had the desired effect but luckily you came here for advice and can deal

with it accordingly.

Hello again all -- I'm back.

 

I received a letter yesterday from Arrow Global stating that they do not accept that they are the creditor,

but will assist in my request for documentation from the creditor.

 

They will suspend all collection activity until they have provided the documents.

They also returned the £1 postal order.

 

Hmm.

So if they're not the creditor, why are they chasing me, and why would they continue with this process at all??

 

Should I expect the original creditor (Egg) to get back in touch.

 

I assumed they had sold the debt on to Arrow.

Hi all. I'm back again, with good news and more requests for advice.

 

I never heard back from Restons and the debt is now six years and one week old,

as in, since the date of default as listed on my credit file.

 

Am I right in thinking that this debt is now unenforceable,

and if so what's my best plan of action?

 

 

I was planning on writing to the credit agencies requesting the removal of the debt from my file

and another letter to Restons telling them that they should no longer contact me.

 

Secondly, am I now free to pursue a PPI claim against the original lender?

 

Thanks in advance

Chris

If it is more than 6 years since the date of the default on your credit file, then reporting should cease and yes, it is now statute barred. As most of the agencies only update once a month - it might be worth waiting until next month to see if reporting stops.

 

You can make a claim for Payment Protection Insurance if it was mis sold - you would need to do that through the original creditor. There is a chance that they might want to pay the refund to the company they assigned it to. IMHO they should not be permitted to do that as once they sold the debt they sold their interest in it.

 

There is also a very good chance they will simply send a cheque to you :)

 

So go for it.

You would not write to the CRAs to ask them to cease reporting on a SB debt - it is the company who is reporting you need to make contact with.

just to clarify

the WHOLE debt entry will vanish from your file

no-one can thus report to it - it ain't there to report on!

Hi,

I have same issue got a letter from Restons (acting on behalf of Capquest). They threat to take me to court to obtain CCJ for a default from Jan 2012. I responded with Pre Action Conduct - Request for information letter. There responded straight away say my request is not reasonably necessary or proportionate under paragraph 6 of the practice direction pre-action conduct and protocol. basically telling me they have been instructed to start proceeding if I don't get back to them with the 15k payment. they say I entered into a agreement with SAV Credit Limited on 17 Apr 2007. When In actually fact this was a BMI baby credit card with then because a citigroup card.

Can Anyone help me with what my next response would be to get them off my back? Can they get a CCJ against me? I am really worried... Also, think should I try and a reduced Full and FInal settlement... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
