    • 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 Guys,

 

The last couple of years have been horrendous from a debt point of view.

I am out of work again and my family doesn't make enough to pay bills

and buy food so you can guess how stressful this is.

 

Two years ago we moved to lower our housing costs.

 

At about the same time "Egg money Manager" ceased and became part of Yorkshire ??? BS.,

so my instant access to bank accounts etc. was wiped away

- i tried reconnecting but couldn't.

 

Through regular charges applied to the account it was taken through the limit and the charges were ramped up again.

I had no paper statements coming in, but some forwarded letters from my old address told me they wanted their money back.

 

Head in sand never a good strategy I know, but depression and fighting to survive on all fronts meant I took no action.

 

About a month ago got a letter from Westcott (didn't connect the issue at first) asking me to contact them urgently.

 

I rang and confirmed i was said person and asked what it was about.

They referred to the RBS overdraft.

I didn't acknowledge but said I wanted to contact the bank to verify/get further information.

 

Westcott have bombarded me with at least one automated telephone call per day since asking me to contact them.

Eventually I spoke to them and asked them not to keep waking my poor husband up in the mornings as he works nights.

They have put 'harassing' me on hold for a couple of weeks while I contact the bank.

 

It used to be the case that they had to produce a credit agreement but I don't know if this is still correct?

 

I know they couldn't produce one for my husband back in 2009/10

and my account was a lot older than that so they are unlikely to be able to.

 

Is it worth a try to get them off my back - I certainly can't afford to pay them anything back.

 

Grateful for any guidance

 

Sweet

Hi, Is this a current account, with or without an overdraft? If so there is no CCA for this.

why are talking to a no powers DCA

 

never ever phone a DCA

 

is this on your credit file?

 

 

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

I agree stay off the phone keep a contact in writing only.

 

 

You need to check your credit reference files asap, Equifax and Experian have 30 day free trials, Noddle (Call Credit ) is Free but not always up to date.

 

 

When was the account last used, do you know the default date? If not the CRA files will help.

Ok thank you, I will stop talking to them on the phone. It was a current account with an overdraft facility. I will check the default date and update here.

 

thanks for the advice so far,

Sweet
