    • 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

Well after turning the house upside down( I do have nice clean cupboards tho)I cannot find the letters to Marlin, so I have no idea what I sent to Marlin and exactly how I worded them. I do know I said the account was in dispute.

I am so mad with myself because I printed copies off until then.

 

Do I not go the statute barred route now ??

 

I know they are going to start because I keep getting phone calls, which I do not answer.

 

Thanks Guys

That is a great pity.

 

 

There is no harm in sending a statute barred letter along the lines of:

 

 

To The Compliance Manager

Marlin FG

 

 

Date

Ref: Use theirs:

 

 

Sir /Madam,

 

 

I refer to the alleged deb for £xxxx.xx as referenced above, please note I do Not acknowledge any liability to Marlin.

 

 

Having reviewed my credit history I have concluded that any such alleged debt is statute barred, there for I will not make any payment or offer of payment now or in the future.

 

 

Marlin will now confirm that this matter is closed.

Thanks Brigadier.

 

If it goes to court because they don't agree, what happens if they produce the letters that I sent and theres something on them I shouldn't have said. Don't want a CCJ after all this time. I was fighting on the "application form and the t&c's" and the way YB tried altering the application form( by cutting off the heading "application form" so it looked like a credit agreement).

 

My husband agrees with you because we want it out of the way now.

Hi alamand, it is a case of prodding the sleeping dog, if they have anything to dispute the SB claim let's get it out in the open, it can then be challenged. Mysterious payments of £1 or £10 that just happen to be the fees for CCA requests or SARs are the most likely things to crop up.

 

 

The app form trick is quite common but I have not seen one modified in this way for a long time.

I have checked the balance and it is still the same so that should be fine,

I will wait for their next letter then, as I didn't respond to their last one.

1 more question, I send what you have put and not the SB one??

It is your choice as to which you send I am no lover of template letters for this particular subject.

 

 

I go by results.

Hi Brig,

 

Well letter received asking for income/expenditure and phone message left from Marlin.

 

I have written your version and it will be in the post tomorrow. Signed for of course.

 

I have checked experian and noddle and no default or anything from Marlin or YB, in fact YB did not put anything at all on all 3 credit reference agency's even at the beginning, which I find strange.

IMHO it will be SB'd

 

the FOS decision makes no odds.

 

they are just trying it on.

 

dx

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...

Good morning Alamand.

 

 

I agree with dx, Marlin have been chasing a raft of SB and unenforceable debts some have been seen on here but I think it's the tip of the iceberg.

Hi every one

I received a reply stating that the acc is indeed statute barred n the matter is now closed.

Thanks everyone for your help.

 

Sorry I'm late with reply but when I have been logging on the site on my comp, this thread is not showing up. I have logged in through my phone, 1st time ever, and it's now here. Very very strange.

 

Once again thanks to everyone.

Alamand
