    • 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 all,

 

Needing some help here. So as with many people I received redress from CFO. *This is not admittance of liability for this loan, just queries of correspondence*

 

Original loan: £550

Original date: 06/03/2013

Before redress: 1050

Redress: 350

Outstanding: 708

 

Not long after being notified of this redress I started to receive collections emails, I recently received a intent to default notice, and then today I have received a default notice by EMAIL.

 

As with many of the loans I am supposedly liable for this one is many years old and would be SB in less than 3 years. Can they apply a default so long after, considering payment or communication on the account has not been made for 3 years?

 

Is Email a valid method to communicate a default?

 

Some help would be greatly appreciated. My credit file should be clean by 2018, and so have been holding out for that, but this could ruin it all :(

the default should be logged at around your third missed/short payment.

not today 3yrs latter

Yea thats what I thought as well, the were always fishy anyway with the old CFO Resolve. I dont know whether this is just dirty last ditch scare tactics or something enforceable.

 

So you are saying keep an eye out for the default on my credit file, if it appears and it is dated after 2013....complain?

yes ... I have a feeling its just buff and brasso

but complain tothem first giving 14 days to rectify if they don't

then off to the ICO.

 

 

I gather you have the correct date worked out?

Yea I would be able to figure out the correct date from old emails.

 

However if I complain to them will this not be me admitting liability for the debt? I havent made payment nor communicated with them in over 3 years.

i don't think that's an issue you need to worry about?

they wouldn't be refunding you if that were the case.

 

 

but no I don't think it is admittance

well lets put it this way

the debt will go off the file IF they do default still on the defaults 6th birthday

 

 

what bearing if any a complaint has on the SB status is anyones guess with this lot

but I cant see an issue

think they are dead in the water anyway.

Sorry Im not sure what you are saying is an issue i do not need to worry about? or what they would refund me for?

 

I get what you are saying, that if they default me (n the correct date) it will still be 6 years from that date on SB.

 

What would be the best way to make a complaint? Should I ask for proof of debt/default aswell?

sorry I meant to say wouldn't and I mean your current redress you have gotten.

 

 

don't confuse SB date and default date

the two are totally unrelated.

 

 

might not be a bad idea to go down the CCA request route if things get silly.

 

 

shall we wait and see what they do

then we'll deal then?

Yea sounds like a good idea, as they arent on my credit file at all at the moment as far as I can see.

 

What is the difference between the SB and default date? As far as I understood a debt becomes SB 6 years from default or last correspondence/payment, whichever is most recent.

 

Really appreciating your time and patience with this, thank you.

statute barring yes typically runs from last signed correspondence/payment/use, whichever is most recent.

 

 

then that cant be anything to do with a default date

as that can be anywhere anytime as you've just found out:lol:

Ah right OK, but most statute barring will start counting down after you have defaulted if you havent corresponded/paid....give or take a month or so. Because when i look at my credit file most of them stop being reported 6 years from the default date...approx.

credit file nor defaulted date have any links whatsoever or relevance to SB date.

 

 

the reason why they fall off the CRA file is:

 

 

All references to a defaulted debt must be removed from your credit files after 6 years

has passed from date of default, whether paid off, paying now or not.

.

{the WHOLE ACCOUNT WILL VANISH, never to return}.

.

{however, this does not mean the debt itself is not still owed

consider a CCA request.}

.

This is so that someone who continues paying something

- even after 6 years from default

- should not be at a disadvantage to someone who pays nothing after default

and ends up with a clean file after 6 years.

.

NOTE: {the bracketed text is not ICO guideline but my advise]

Now I see where I was getting confused! So are you suggesting I make a CCA request to the payday loan companies.

 

TBH all my defaults have not been communicated with or paid since they defaulted, so SB should be the same time...ish. as when they drop off my credit report.

 

Do you know if companies keep a record of people who have defaulted with them? So I had a outstanding and unsettled default with Bank X, when my credit file cleans itself up....if I went to that bank for a mortgage would they still be able to see and refuse me, even if my credit file looks squeaky clean and i have good salary etc...?

depends if they search internal records.

 

 

when a debt becomes SB'd in England and wales

[rather than Scotland whereby its 5yrs and is totally extinguished dead gone parrot]

the only thing that changes is the fact that 'the owner' cant enforce any court judgement

 

 

the debt still exists, is still collectable

but as they cant use or threaten court

they tend not to even bother chasing.

 

 

as all 'the owner' can do, is ask you to pay it

you can equally ask them to go away.
