    • 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,

 

Before I start, I'd just like to explain that I have read a lot of the existing threads on here around similar subject, but each individuals circumstances appear to promote a different response - thus I am posting mine in an attempt to clarify the best result.

 

Anyway - to begin.... Barclaycard & Cabot (All information supported by CRA reports)

 

I had a Barclaycard back in the late 90's and eventually ended up (through marital problems) getting into irretrievable debt and defaulting on the account.

Default Date 31/10/2000, Default Balance £1467

 

I had stuck my head in the sand and not replied to any of Barclaycards letters before the default notice. I then eventually got a letter from Barclaycard saying they had sold the debt to Cabot and I would be hearing from them, which I did very soon after by letter requesting I get in touch, this was around Mar 2003 - Again, head firmly planted in the sand, no contact made.

 

Cabot subsequently registered a default with the CRA's stating the following.

Kings Hill (No.1) Ltd / Barclaycard (1)

Default Date 31/10/2000, Default Balance £1637, Current Balance £1720, Updated 16/07/2003

 

To date I have not been in contact with Cabot and I thought they had given up, the deault note on my CR has expired and has been removed by the CRA's, BUT, this week I have received a notice from a company called ScotCall - Stating that the debt has been placed with them and they are going to send round a 'door-step' collection officer unless I complete the mandate and pay up.

 

My question is, where do I stand and what do I do?

 

Am I right in saying that the 6 year statute of limitations applies, therefore they cannot chase me in the courts??

 

I have already (this morning) sent a CCA request to Cabot with a cheque for £1 because it seems the first thing to do (common in most threads) but I am completely lost besides that.

 

To be honest, I know I am in the wrong for what I've done and I'm the first one to admit it - but the quantity and tone of the letters has made me angry and I want to play them at their own game a bit.

 

If it came to the enevitable, I could pay, but bugger them - I now want to fight !!!!

 

Please help..... Many Thanks

Here's what I sent in the letter

 

Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited

PO Box 241

West Malling

Dear Sir

Re: Your Reference No ####### (Mr #######, Barclaycard No ##########)

 

I do not acknowledge ANY debt to your company. I require you to supply the following documentation before I will correspond with you further on this matter.

 

1. You must supply me with a true copy of the alleged agreement you refer to. This is my right under your obligation to supply a copy of the agreement, under the legislation contained within s.78 (1) Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

2. A full statement of account.

 

3. A signed true copy of the deed of assignment of the above referenced agreement that you allege exists.

 

You are notified that you are obliged to supply these documents, whether or not you are the original creditor, under s.189 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. I enclose a £1 cheque in payment of the statutory fee, Cheque Number 000813.

 

Non-compliance with my request is a criminal offence under the above Act and will result in a report being submitted to the relevant statutory authorities.

 

As you are aware, a credit agreement that is not properly documented and signed by the customer is totally unenforceable under the Consumer Credit Act and therefore is a complete defence to any court claim that is issued.

 

Take note at this stage, that any legal action you may contemplate will be both vigorously defended and contested.

 

 

Yours faithfully

 

Is this OK and can you advise any further?
