    • 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 there,

 

I am new to this site but have been lurking in the background for a few days. I pulled my Equifax file this weekend as part of the annual credit cleanse and was suprised to find a CCJ was issued against me in 2011.

 

I queried the court and found out it was Safeloans who took out the judgment against me. I have never taken out a debt with them and I began the dispute process in August 2012 as I did not recognise the debt on my Experian file.

 

Safeloans provided some proof that I asked for and it is rather obvious that the person they are pursuing is not me, and I replied that I was not the person they are seeking. I assumed this was the end of the matter as no further communication happened, until I discovered the CCJ this weekend.

 

I went to Barclays and presented the information that SL has that supposedly links me to the debt. It appears that someone has opened an account in my name and a fraud investigation has been started. The police have also been informed and I passed this information to the SL litigations team. They say that they are investigating this now. So a not-me is out there pretending to be me...

 

It is rather obvious now that my identity was used to open an account with Barclays, and the person who opened the account took out a loan from this company. Since the person defaulted on the loan a CCJ was issued and somehow that has been tied to me (because they used my previous address). I am certain this will be sorted out once the investigations are completed. However, I have been carrying a damaged credit file for quite some time with the CCJ on there.

 

Is there any recourse to compensation for the damage done to my file and the now many hours I have spent clearing up this mess? I have been turned down for credit products and it has affected my day to day banking, all whilst I was unaware of what was happening! I also have suffered from quite a bit of distress from this ordeal.

 

The lady I spoke with at their office has been polite and friendly (like me - win more flies with sugar as they say), but I do feel that some compensation would be due. Had they verified the identity of the borrower, this whole fiasco would not have occurred and my credit would not have been hurt. The only verification that ties me to the debt is a Experian Bank Wizard printout with account numbers and a birth date different to me, but everything else matched. So even that doesn't tie the debt to me, yet they have proceeded with the CCJ in my absence.

 

I am unsure what to do at this point, and I assume I will have to wait for the investigations to be completed. Anyone have any advice about compensation for my troubles - this company seems to really take the mickey out of people so I only think it is fair that they should also be punished in kind for their mistakes.

 

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi russ and a warm welcome to CAG.

 

First you must set a side by making an application to the court that issued the judgment. Use(N244) Application Notice...there is a fee of £45 without an hearing or £80 with.You can reclaim the costs once you have exposed these Muppets who issue CCJs like confetti and are known for issuing CCJ against mistaken identities.(because their vetting and approving systems are so lax)

 

The court will inform them you have made application and invite a response...at this point they should withdraw the claim...but dont forget your costs.

 

Compensation and damages are another matter which you may wish to consider as a separate issue.

 

Regards

 

Andy
