    • 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 am about to ditch my dmp with Payplan

- I cca'd my creditors and only RBS and Link back to me with properly executed and signed agreements.

 

This is fine - I will pay.

 

However, Link have doubled my debt from 1k to 2k on each of the debts I have with them .

I fail to see why the hell I should pay them an extra 2k.

 

I know that they are very aggressive

so Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I go about dealing with this ?

 

I have SAR'd RSB but not Link

- would that be the first thing I should do

- and will they freeze the account whilst they are complying with my request?

Ignore the crap link add. They cant add anything. It is an old trick they do that sadly many people fall for, and the owner of link has made tens of millions off it.

 

Regarding SAR, it goes to the OC. NOT the DCA. The only thing the dca gets is a CCA.

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..

Link debts are from GE money - I owed two debts of approx 1k each

- over the past 7 years they have added interest to the tune of 1k on each debt.

 

I am prepared to Pay what I owe ( I need to check but I think I have done already ) but not to pay this fictitious interest .

 

They won't let go, so what is my next step ?

 

Oh - and they are not on my cra file

what a surprise there then!

 

so the usual games then...

 

the dmp provider nor yourself did any checks on the debts before payments through the plan started.

 

have you got any paperwork yourself?

 

if the oc terminated the agreement then its rather out of order

for a debt Buyer to add interest .

 

but typical of link to pull this stunt.

I suspect the only way you will get Link to comply is in front of a judge... Thats my thoughts on Link.

Deal with them in writing and tell them they have to comply with removing the interest because its not fair that they have added this.

 

We could do with some help from you.

since writing last ,

 

Link have finally decided to send one of my debts to their solicitors.

 

I have paid back the debt but because they added interest AFTER it had gone to PayPlan,

the "debt" now stands at £1875.

 

But I have actually paid back the debt.

 

It is enforceable. So what shall I do now ?

 

Tempted to SAR them and take it from there.

 

What if they take me to court?

 

I have paid the damn debt!!

so did you get the PPI back on the cards?

 

sorry but you should have stopped paying years ago.

 

kearns are nothing more than a change of letterhead in the same printer.

 

you keep saying these debts are enforceable

 

who says?

 

we've never seen the CCA returns for each one.

 

no you don't sar a DCA

 

if the cards were terminated by GE money

then a debt buyer cannot add interest

the agreement [the act] has been terminated.

 

you are being fleeced blind..

 

nothing new for link mind.

Many thanks for your answer. However, I need to make one thing clear, these debts are not for store cards. I have no idea who put this in the title because it's not true.

 

They are for a front door and two windows and were loans from GE Money.

 

The debts date from 2005 and 2006.

 

I haven't paid them anything for at least 18 months. During this time they have not contacted me other than to send me statements.

 

I know I have paid back the original amount since I defaulted in October 2006.

 

I paid into Payplan untilDecember 2013.

 

I also know I have paid more than the original debt.

 

I do not agree that I should pay them unfair interest applied after I had gone into a DMP.

 

Link have now passed one of the accounts onto their solicitors.

 

My question now is what do I do?

I do not want to go to court.

 

 

After all this time and now seeing light at the end of the tunnel, I do not want to go through the ropes all over again.

 

Do I ignore?

Do I wait and then challenge?

What?

 

The debts are enforceable - I CCA'd them a couple of years back and they produced the original documentation.

Again they cannot add anything after the agreement was terminated. You've fallen hook line and sinker for their tricks

sorry store cards was me

 

even worse then if its silly loans

 

the interest as you say should have been stopped when you went into the DMP with PP

 

does the T&C's state they can charge interest after its been sold/terminated

I bet not.

 

if the extra interest had not been added

the debts would now be clear.?

If thats true then somethings amiss. Link would have taken you to court a long time ago if they had valid cca's in their posession.

Yes, the debts would have been clear.

 

 

what do I do with the Solicitors then? I

don't know about the T's and C's -

I will fish out tomorrow.

 

Still leaves me with the question of what to do with the solicitors.

I think it's time to raise a complaint to GE Money and Link... Do you have the CCAs? Can you post them up?

 

I can help pre legal as best as i can...

 

If we can tie them up, it will prevent legal action being taken ideally... And if they reject, we can refer it to the FOS... That'll tie it up even more

 

We could do with some help from you.

FYI the FOS would more than likely rule in your favour should it need to go that far... If they do attempt to go legal while they are being tied, it should bring a halt to the proceedings while your "Concerns" are resolved.

This will be the contractual interest due and the T&C's would allow for this to be applied.

 

Sounds like it would be either a home improvement or holiday ownership loan from GE Money.

 

If a judgement has been entered then the terms of the judgement will allow for this interest to be added.

 

FOS will have no jurisdiction in this if that is the case.
