    • 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 there I am trying to find out if Lowells did buy the debt are they liable to pay the PPI or is it the Cap One as the Original creditor who is liable to pay this back. I have read it somewhere it is the original creditor who has the right to PPI. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

I have a Cap One card with a small balance which would be SBd in a few months. Lowells claimed that they bought the debt but I had a dispute with Cap One for a long while. I have some PPI on that card which I want to claim.

 

Lowell had put a Default Note in my CRA and the account is in their name although I had a dispute with the original creditor.

 

Are they allowed to do this? I am going to send them a letter so would be grateful if anyone has had similar experience and has got a letter so I can send Lowell's a similar letter.

 

Many thanks

always the original creditor for PPI

 

 

a dca cant default your file only update it

 

 

the OC would have defaulted it upon or before sale and a dca cannot record a different date.

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...

Oh ok thanks. So I can claim the PPI from the OC.

 

 

So the Lowells may have updated the CR file with their name after they bought the debt.

 

One more PPI to go and I am done on that PPI. Cap One is only a small amount, but still I would claim as they charge so much on late fees etc.

Thanks again DX.

OK I am onto Capital One now.

 

I found a letter from Cap1 last year that they have passed on the debt to Lowells. I had a dispute with Cap1, and I told them that I never received any DNs or assignment notes. Last year I moved house so I could not deal with all this and left till I settled in the new place. So I am now onto every card that I had and trying to reclaim all the PPI etc.

 

Question - I have learnt from here that OC cannot sell account with the PPI onto Lowells whilst the account is in dispute. Is this true? I will need to check all the paper work to see if they have full rights to do this. Also they cannot offset the outstanding balance against the debt can they?

 

I have drafted a letter to Cap1 explaining that whilst the account in dispute they had sold the debt to Lowells which is not inline with the financial guidelines. Will post it here before I send off. Would appreciate it if someone can have a look and let me know ok to send off.

 

Many thanks

Well I drafted a letter with the help of a template or a letter that I found on this site.

 

I am making a complaint to the FoS as Capital One has sold my account whilst it was in dispute and put a DN after I had agreed to pay every month and did pay through DD. I stopped paying when I found out that Lowells bought it. I have PPI on it and it is a small amount.

lowells etc buy all rights and responsibilities of an account it seems, but when it comes to PPI it seems not all responsibilities include PPI - double dutch this country is due to wimps making regulation in favour of companies and tread down the real populus says it all, and people stand back and allow themselves to be trodd on!

Today I had a letter from Capital One as I wrote to them firstly giving them my new address and telling them that PPI need to be paid by them and not Lowells.

 

So have given a telephone no in PPI department.

 

I also have a letter from Lowells telling me to contact Lucas Credit Services.

 

I am going send them letter asking them to cease all communications with me as the case is being dealt with by FOS at this moment. I did send fos a letter to say whilst my account was in dispute Cap! sol the account and also disputing the balance.

 

I am surprised that Capital One has indicated in their letter and they have update their records and from now on will send all the letters to my new address. If they have sold the account why would they update my account.

 

Unless, fos has been in touch with them? Wait and see what they have to say later.

Yes you are right. I am not going to give them the satisfaction of knowing that I read their letter. I will put it in the bin.

 

As for Capital One they need to make up their mind whether they deal with me direct or not.

 

I will wait to see what fos has to say and go from there. It will take weeks but I can wait there is no rush.

 

They have my PPI money more than the balance outstanding.

UPDATE ** Today I received a letter from Capital One to say that they are dealing with my PPI and will process as soon as they can.

 

I was told by Lowell's previously that they owned the debt and therefore deal with the PPI by them.

 

I wonder if the FOS has been in touch with them. That is good if Capital One has got a debt back so I can only deal with them

 

I am going to send Cap1 the spreadsheet as I have the statements now so I can work out.

UPDATE** Have a letter from FOS to say that they have written to CAP1 and I should be hearing from them soon. They have asked me to contact them again if CAP1 do not contact me or send a reply soon,

Is it too late to claim unfair late fees and other charges?

No not too late. Get copies of statements from Cap1, work out excess fees/charges and make a complaint to get these removed from the debt.

 

Make sure Lowell know you have active complaints running with Cap1 and that you are expecting significant changes in regard to the account with Cap1, which will no doubt be advised to them in due course. Don't refer to there being a debt, always refer to an account when communicating, as you never want to acknowledge a debt.

We could do with some help from you.

Thanks.

 

I have prepared a spreadsheet for the late fees, Over Limit charges etc and will send off to CAP1 with a copy of the letter from FOS. Now do I ask for the 8% interest as well? Or just the charges?

If they reject it I will forward that to FOS with a letter. Wait and see first if they will respond.

 

I have asked them to remove the DN note as I disputed the balance long time ago, yet they sold to Lowells. So the DN is under Lowells name.

Thanks.

 

Do I put purchase interest as well. They have charged me 2.29 per month on all the purchases. I will put over limit charge, late payment fee and handling fee.

 

I have requested all PPI on a separate claim.

 

As per FOS letter I contacted Capital, and I told them what FOS had told me. They told me that the DN will come off This month. I said I know, but it should not have been there in the first place.

Now can I claim damages for marking my CRA file and for not following the procedure , or do I make a complaint to ICO?
