    • 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.

Have been ignoring my 6 Payday loans and 4 other debts for several months now, the other companies don't appear to have put disproportionate amount of interest on to the debt but my Toothfairy loan has gone from the original amount of £300 up to £1438 since I took the loan out in late July and I get this email from them every 5 days:

 

We are writing to give you formal notice that ToothFairy Finance Ltd - ToothFairy Pay Day Loan has legally assigned the rights of the above debt to Marshall Hoares Bailiffs. This means that Marshall Hoares Bailiffs Limited now legally own this debt.

3. Register of Judgements any judgement will be entered in a public register, the Register of Judgements, Orders and Fines Credit Reference Agencies, who will supply them to credit grantors and others seeking information on you financial reputation. This will make it very difficult for you to get credit.

Same thing with me for MHB... they are inhouse DC,

 

I would ignore them... they wont take you to court, they pounce on innocent people who dont stand up for themselves and dont know the law... I had a case with them in which they had to wipe the whole loan clean and i only paid Capital and 1 months interest :)

 

We could do with some help from you.

* Please be aware that just because a debt is not on the individuals credit files, does not

mean action to collect the debt is not possible.

After 6 years with no written payment or acknowledgment the debt becomes statute barred but still exists, and unless the debtor informs the creditor that the debt IS statute barred and therefore they will

not be paying action to collect the debt short of enforecement can still take place.*

I took out a loan with them for £300 last November and now they're trying to collect £1,014.00 from me! Of all the creditors I've dealt with, they are the most abusive, unethical, unprofessional bunch of B------s. They've sent me emails and letters without even the breakdown of their charges, and have been threatening and rude in their tone. I will be reporting them to the OFT and FSO. If I were you I should do the same. This company should be put out of business for preying on poor and hapless people like us!

Look at the man who owns them ^__^ ... Yes... they are how they are... complain to them.... let the send a letter of deadlock and then when that happens... OFT TIME ^__^

 

Ive ignored them as im still getting emails for something i thought was settled.... total amount is currently £1700...

TFF wont take you to court because there "legal buffs" dont have a valid explanation for continuing to charge interest....

 

It is actually against FSA & OFT guidelines to continue to charge interest on a debt that doesnt reflect true costs of DCA (Debt Collection Action) in which said interest is not a true reflection of collecting the debt... Ask them over the phone and via letter if this is the case (hehe) :jaw::-D

Received the same email as Jack and then received a phone call asking for payment. I stated that I previously made payment but couldn't find it in my emails as the loan is over 5 years old and haven't had any contact for 4 years. I have also changed banks since then and my old bank Nat West said they have no transactions for me on their system. What action if any do I need to take?

Plus TFF doesnt exist anymore... Any chance of paperwork etc... Nonexistant! :p
