    • 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 2 credit card debts with RBS that are more than 6 years in default and so have fallen off my credit record. They are not statute barred as I make monthly payments of £15 each.

 

I have now received letters from Wescot saying that - 'the account has been transferred to us and your account is now being directly managed by us'

 

It lists the arrangement I had with RBS and says 'this is the arrangement we will be managing on their behalf'.

 

I have not been actively chased for this debt for years, I just kept making the low payments. A couple of times in the last 6 years I made low full & final settlement offers which RBS did not accept.

 

What can I expect now that the Wescot have been involved?

 

I don't know where my Truecall machine is now but will I have to find it and plug it in again?!!

Hi Garden

 

Welcome back to CAG.

 

Check if Wescot have CCA.

Wescot wont own anything on this debt so no chance of legal.

 

How much is left owing? Do not pay RBS until they can cough up a CCA :)

 

We could do with some help from you.

Keep doing what you are

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...

I did all the CCA stuff years ago but they all managed to produce them!!

 

Most of my creditors accepted Full & Finals after a couple of years. Only RBS continued to refuse. My Mortgage and Bank accounts are with RBS so not sure if stopping paying all together would be a good idea anyway?

 

Each debt is around the 9k mark.

  • 3 months later...

So then both Natwest and RBS increased the minimum payment due from £15 a month to over £6000 a month!

 

 

Then the next month told me I have broken the terms of my credit agreement by not paying the minimum amount ( I still paid the £15).

 

Does this allow them to put defaults on my credit record again as they fell off after 6 years at the beginning of this year?

 

I don't want to contact them because then we get all knotted up in the income and expenditure info route!

I too received a letter in July stating that Wescot were now going to manage my Natwest credit card debit but to keep paying Natwest - I don't have a problem with that arrangement.

 

I pay Natwest £1 per month, however once per year, at the time of my annual review, my monthly statement from Natwest will show my next minimum payment to be around £4K (around 50% of the o/s balance).

The first time that happened a few years ago I telephoned Natwest to ask what was going on.

They said it was just something that happens when the account is reviewed and just to ignore it.

Sure enough the next statement is back to requesting a minimum payment of £1

 

Like the o/p above, I've also been unable to get Natwest to accept a f&f and I'm not a home owner.

There was a policy shift fairly recently where RBS sold their non performing debts. I am guessing this is their next stage, farm out the management of debts being paid.

 

Like you when I CCAd RBS they came up with the agreement but since it's been sold Cabot have failed to stump up the goods. They stopped sending me statements long ago.

 

There is some discussion as to the best time to send CCA requests but certainly better once the debt has actively been sold on.

 

Florish did you ever cca NatWest?

 

Garden, when they came up with the cca paperwork, was it compliant I.e did it have all the prescribed terms, only relevant though if the agreements are pre Apr 2007

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Hi fletch, yes I cca'd Natwest 2 or 3 years ago and they managed to produce a compliant cca - at least I was told by someone it was compliant and accepted that.

I'll need to look it out again - it was an application form for a credit card taken out in 1997.

However although they've produced the prescribed terms, I think they're on separate pieces of paper that Natwest also sent to me. I'll have another look tomorrow.
