    • 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

 

I had an American Express debt passed to SRJ and had a payment arrangement in place.

 

A E have now passed that debt to another debt company vilcollections.

 

I am continuing to pay vilcollections

but they are saying that no payment arrgt was agreed with them

and i must supply an income and expenditure form which is very detailed.

 

They say my payment is a good will payment.

 

What are my obligations?

 

Many Thanks

None, if an arangement was made with the original creditor then they must accept the situation.

Tell them so!!

Yes. If an agreement was already in place, they must honor it. Ignore them and tell them that is how much they are going to get. Non negotiable.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Have a read of the article in the link above. If a payment arrangement was in place when this new kid on the block took it on.. then they must accept what was in place. They simply cannot renege on the agreement, they purchase the debt with any encumbrances.

I have sent them an email advising them of this, and stating that my payments are not goodwill payments, they are an ongoing payment arrangement. I do have a copy of my original credit agreement so i cant argue anything. However, I doubt they will take me to court for not supplying an I and E form!!

 

Watch this space for their reply!!

 

Many Thanks

They cant take you to court simply for not supplying anI&E form. Mainly because it is not a legal requirement and only a court can order you to provide one. Of course, you can provide them one simply to make things a little easier in some cases, but theres no obligation on you to do so.

Hi

 

Ive a copy of the credit agreemnt which i signed in 2005/2006 and i started the payment arrangement in 2007 i think. ive not checked my credit file(mosstly because its all bad!!) and ive never sent a SAR.

 

Vilcollections have said i must complete the i and e form as they have to review accounts on a regular basis.

 

I note that it is very detailed and asks for a lot of info- also about my partners income, dependants etc which i dont feel inclined to give.

 

any thoughts would be appreciaited.

Hi all

 

i have an old American express debt which was originally passed to srj

and i made a payments arrangement odf 10 per month but cant find the paperwork.

 

 

It thrn got passed to Vilcollections who said this was a goodwill gesture

and kept asking for an income and expenditure form.

 

 

I didnt provide this but continued to pay them.

 

 

This then got passed to firstsource llc

confirnmed by American express and have continued to pay them without problem.

 

i have had the signed credit agreement from American express.

 

How i have now received a letter from first source

stating that i have a payments arrangement with their office

but their records indicate that no confirmation letter has been sent.

 

They then state going forward if i establish a different payment arrangement

a payment arrangement confirmation letter will be sent to me.

 

they then apologise for the inconvenience.

 

It then states that American express will continue to register the status of my account

with the credit reference agencie

Its currently not listed on ghem at all!

 

i feel they are trying to get more money but this repayment is in line with my other creditors.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Many thanks
