    • 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.

I’m new to this, so apologies if it reads a bit long winded.

Wrote to RBS when I was laid off from work and couldn’t manage monthly cc payments, wasn’t really surprised by the unhelpful & unsympathetic response received. Account was opened in early 2000’s so loads of interest & charges paid – that’s another fish to fry elsewhere.

Long story short, account fell into arrears, credit limit exceeded due to lots of charges, DN issued, TN issued and they informed that Debt Recovery Dept would be dealing with account.

I CCA’d them and received a bundle of papers which having read through, raised some doubt s regards compliance and enforceability;

1. DN – to be remedied “within 17 days of letter date”, no actual date for remedy stated, received 8 days / 6 work days after issue, only 9 days left to remedy instead of min 14. Is this still compliant or enforceable?

2. TN – dated 22 days after DN, and only just on 15th day following receipt of DN.

3. RBS cover letter informs that “the true copy requirements can be satisfied by providing a copy agreement at the date the card agreement was made & providing a copy of current t&c’s. Surely it would have been just as easy to provide a copy of the original executed agreement – if it exists?

4. In response to request for detailed statement of account listing all debits, credits, charges etc they provided a copy of the last monthly statement – wot a waste of paper.

5. The bundle of loose papers enclosed with RBS letter are as follows;

a. Sheet 1 : Copy(stamped) of Credit Agreement - unsigned/undated, some key particulars stated (credit limit, frequency / min amount of payments, int rate, etc), no details of charges other than for cash advances or cheques, no info regarding consumer rights, etc.

b. Shts 2-7 : undated, unreferenced pages of Conditions of use. Default Charges are listed on last sheet just above text box with the important notice re. my rights!

c. Sht 8 – copy of undated letter issued with a new / replacement card

d. Sht 9 : Copy of Credit Card Agrt Regulated by CCA 1974 – includes key particulars ie credit limit, frequency / amount of payments, interest & default charges (reduced level). Does NOT include signatures/dates. For ‘other charges’ , it refers to Gen Conditions 2(n) & (o) which are no where to be found. States that No Customer details shown, detailed overleaf apparently, but the sheet provided was only single sided.

It appears to me that they’ve cobbled together a pile of papers and issued under cover of a fluffy worded letter in an attempt to confuse / overwhelm me and put me back in my box – poor souls. No chance, I’m not going away that easily.

I’d appreciate advice / opinion from any battled hardened and wiser CAGGER’s on this one please, I’m itching to issue a letter informing them that they have not satisfied my request and that the account is in dispute – assuming I’ve got it right!

Cheers & thanks in eager anticipation.

Had a scan of your post.

I'd say they terminated unlawfully on the back of a defective default notice.

Unfortunately they can satisfy your s78 with a reconstituted agreement but would need the original in court however they seem to of made a right pigs ear of terminating you anyway.

I SAR'd Ulster(same lot) a while back and they admitted having nothing, just waiting on a CCA so will see if they send the same back as RBS sent you.

 

Think you are better posting these sort of questions on the DCA forum.

hi craigbadger,

 

i thought about writing and informing that they had (unlawfully?) terminated the 'agreement' on the back of a ineffective DN, is there a suitable template letter that i can amend / use?

 

now, assuming they can prove that they have an enforceable agreement, is it right that they would only be due the arrears and not the full balance?

 

appreciate any thoughts / advice.

 

cheers

 

SH
