    • 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 guys

 

I CCA'd RBS back in March/April - they replied that they cannot find the Credit Agreement and although they cannot therefore enforce the debit, they expect me to pay.

 

The balance now is £9,600 what would be an reasonable ff&s offer? (bearing in mind they cannot enforce)

 

The account has already been defaulted in 2008 so I would like to tie its removal into the FF&S

 

Any advice on how I go about it?

Hi Al1971 :)

Are you sure you want to do this?My friend in similar circumstances had the same lack of agreement and from then on RBS just sent monthly statements with the account remaining static, with no interest. He had no further contact with them after that. Initially his credit file stated "u" (unknown) for this account, then after 6 months it disappeared from the file!

However, if repairing your credit file is crucial and you definitely want to go down the F&F route here's a good guide:

Debt Factsheets - Full & Final Settlement offers

 

All the best,

HI Elsa

 

Meant to say that I have been paying £50 per month to RBS as a reduced payment and the interest is frozen.

 

Will cancel the monthly payment and hopefully that focuses their minds. They have already defaulted me so their options are limited I would imagine. I suppose they could pass it to a DCA but they cannot enforce it either.

 

Hmmm - don't know what's for the best.

It's up to you..

I personally wouldn't pay them, but you could maybe offer them 10% stating its a limited time offer for F&F ONLY on the understanding that the default is removed and the balance written off. If they do not accept it then (bearing in mind they are unable to enforce the agreement in court and you have nothing to lose since the default is already registered) tell them there seems little point in continuing to make payments until or unless a valid agreement is produced, as is your legal right under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

Wait for more input too..it's just my opinion :)
