    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.  
    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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 everyone newbie here.

 

right heres the situation.

 

Last week an error code came up on my car which is a peugeot 407(4 years old).It was an esp/asr error.

 

On Monday past i took it to the dealership in town where they perfomed a diagnostic test on my vehicle.This test cost £50 but I managed to get it for £40.Anyway the result of this test was inconclusive as they informed me it was angle sensors to the front or to the rear of my vehicle but could not pinpoint exactly where the fault came from.

 

The guy in the garage told me if I wanted to get a proper diagnosis I would have to spend approx £400 for peugeot to get a specialist mechanic to find out the exact cause of the fault.

 

I thought this was strange so I checked up on my payments to peugeot and found out that I was on hire purchase agreement.I spoke with trading standards and they thought that peugeot had to fix my car.Is this true?

Not necessarilly. It depends on the warranty supplied with the car if any. Most warranties allow an amount for diagnostics based on what they think is a reasonable amount to diagnose the fault. Some extended warranties refuse to cover diagnostis at all. They just cover the removal and refit of the affected part.

 

Would be interesting if you could post the fault codes they found.

 

Most esp/asr/dsc codes are registered from the ABS sensors and yaw control module so why it needs a specialist at the moment is questionable.

they never showed me the fault codes.all done behind closed doors.i wasn't asked if i wanted to see the diag test being done.:mad:

 

From what i gathered from trading standards the car was peugeots responsibility until i had made my final payment which is in july coming.

Heliosuk, does this story remind you of something?????????? It must be the same computer as Citroen in Coventry.

Here again is yet another example of Technology taken too far and is "OUTWITH NORMAL SERVICE CAPABILITY"

Now you mention it, it does actually. An inability of the PSA group Product development to understand what they have built and tell the dealers how to fix and service it.

 

I'd love to take my car in to a pug or ****reoen dealer to tell me why my engine MIL light is on and film it for youtube.

bannblue,

 

What TS have told you is wrong. The responsibility of Pug ends at the end of the manufactuers warranty. If you have another warranty this will be an insurance policy against mechanical failure, very different indeed.

 

In any way, the checks they did should have been down loaded and recorded on the job card, purely for audit purposes and to aid diagnosis. Sometimes there are too many to remember and are perhaps nebulous.

 

Just as a matter of intrest, have you changed any tyres lately as this is one of the most common things dealers miss as the systems are that sensitive now an ABS sensor will detect it and that is what all your lights are driven from.

Thanks for your reply,From reading my hire purchase agreement the car belongs to peugeot until such times as it is paid off which is in july but i will take your word for it.

 

I am currently not working at present so cannot afford to pay those twits £ 400 and I intend to trade the car in anyway as it's a pile of scrap and I personally wouldn't go near peugeot again.

 

No I haven't had tyres changed.The only thing I got done was ball joints replaced last year which I am led to beleive should have been done by pug by recalling the peugeot 407 but due to their greed this wasn't done.

 

I will never buy Peugeot again or french car for that matter.:mad:

The agreement you have is to finance the car through Pug I reckon. This does not include the warranty.

 

This needs clarification. What finance agreement, Pug to buy the car, Pug contact/lease hire, Pug options scheme???

Peugeot finance is what i was told when i first bought the car,then when i phoned them the other day they told me it was a hire purchase agreement.

 

I have made a complaint to peugeot ref the circumstances and they are due to get back to me next monday with reference to who pays for the repair etc.

 

I have the agreement that i signed in front of me,no mention of hire purchase or peugeot finance just stating conditional sale agreement regulated by consumer credit act etc etc.They seem to me to be hidden in the way they do things and the documents they supply you with.

 

I am sick to the back teeth with these people and will never have anything to do with them again.

It is unfortunate that you bought the latest 407 PUG. I too am having great trouble with citroen uk. a sister company.

It's a bit unfair to say bad things about a brand, as the previous models, in both our cases, were very fine cars indeed. The 405 & 406 diesel estates were excellent vehicles, and capable of high, trouble free milages, coupled with outstanding economy.

Part of todays unsatisfactory customer service, apart from the recession, is that manufacturers are having to spend mega bucks in meeting these ludicrous EU Regulations, which seem to be absorbing much of their resources.

It's times we dumped this EU outfit, and turned the clock back, until such times that the correct technology is in place to move forward without all these unsolvable problems.

Why manufacture something if you can't control it???

I'm sure if you bought an old PUG you would be highly delighted.

Don't get me wrong ,the best car i ever had was the peugeot 406 which i bought off the same garage.give me no problems at all.it's all these new electronic things and the ways of testing them and their failure to diagnose correctly what the fault is.

 

I was also under the impression that a dealership had to find out the fault not for me to pay for them to do it.then after finding the fault they could give me an estimated bill for repair.it's the underhand way in which they do things now that infuriates me and the extortionate prices.

I have spoken with a legal adviser who states quite clearly that under the sale of goods act 1979 that the vehicle is of satisfactory quality and under my terms and agreement the onus is on the finance company to repair my fault as it is an inherent fault ie not done by wear and tear of the vehicle.the finacial ombudsman has also been informed.

Subbing as I have a similar problem with a Peugeot 107 which peugeot are claiming isn't covered under the warranty.

It's clear that some Peugeot vehicles are unfit for purpose.

I would say most are unfit for purpose.i recently spoke with a fella who works for peugeot as a salesman and he told me that the engines were fine but that the diagnostics tool was rubbish as was the electronics in the car.I will never have another peugeot,thats for sure.:mad:

Perhaps you could answer post #8 which will enable us to determine exactly what is what because if you have given the legal advisor the information you posted here you could well find yourself very dissapointed and embarassed.

 

In relation to subbings comment about the diagnostics, it's not usually the diagnostics that are crap it's the people employed to use them.

 

In fact, the diagnostics are usually so good, current technicians don't understand what they tell you and that is where the problem lies. The onus is on the dealer to train the technicians and they just don't as this is a cost to them but they don't calculate the knock on effect on customer service. Conversley, the manufacturer expects them to be fully trained and up to speed and this does not just apply to technicians but sales people as well.

 

The trade pays peanuts to these guys and they get monkeys.

 

Another reason why this industry needs regulation and licensing!!

In that case you need to treat like a personal loan from the bank. The Finance co have lent you the money to buy it. So Pug finance, which is probably a French Bank like Credit Agicole have no legal obligations as regards the fault. Essentially you have a bank loan in simple terms.

 

So can you tell us what the warranty is you understand you have, was the car bought new, used or what?

 

Does the service book have a full history and on time and on mileage?

I bought the car new, 4 1/2 years ago with a 3 year warranty.i took my car to different mechanics for service etc.I don't know where the service book is.

Ok, say now we are clear ast to what is going on. On the basis of what you have said, I would think that you didn't take up the option of extending the "manufacturerswarranty" which is essentially the same as a used car warranty, which is not a warranty but an insurance policy against mechanical breakdown and as such also has conditions.

 

So we need to work out what has gone wrong and how to get around it.

 

Forget any claim against Pug or the finance co unless it's possible to provethat this is a common issue and subject to an "Pergouet service campaign". This should have been picked up when they looked at it and the diagnostics would have alerted them to it.

 

You need to ask for the fault codes from the job card. If not available then look under the bonnet and look for silver boxes and let me know the name on it.

 

Unless anyone can throw any light on it here, we need to know which manufactureres system its running on. Bosch is popular, Valeo or Delphi another. Unlikely to be Magnetti Marreli.

 

Worth a post on the Pug forums to find out what is what.

ok i will try and find out re the boxes.I didnt take out any additional cover.my head is spinning at the minute with people telling me one thing then somebody else telling me something completely different but i do appreciate your input.the financial ombudsman should know.

That's often the problem on this forum bannblue. There are those who know and there are people who think they know.

 

Often you see the SOGA rules being shouted and six year rule but this is the top end of the law only. When you dig down to individual cases and case law it comes unstuck.

 

Lawyers can argue the case till the cows come home but it does not fix the predicament you are in.

 

You need the quickest possible fix at the least cost to you is how I now read it.

true enough but if no quick fix comes soon and it isn't sorted i will take the hit on it as i intend to trade the car in soon anyway,but yes i would prefer to trade it in fixed of course.
