    • 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.

Correct its A CCA as follows:

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

I do not acknowledge ANY debt to your company. I require you to supply the following documentation before I will correspond further on this matter.

 

1. You must supply me with a true copy of the alleged agreement you refer to. This is my right under your obligation to supply a copy of the agreement under the legislation contained within s.78 (1) Consumer Credit Act 1974 (s.77 (1) for rolling sum credit) - your obligation also extends to providing a statement of account. I enclose a £1 postal order in payment of the statutory fee, PO Serial Number*******

 

2. You are notified that you are obliged to supply these documents, whether you are the original creditor or not under S189 of the CCA 1974.

 

3. Non-compliance with my request is a criminal offence under the above Act and will result in a report being submitted to the relevant statutory authorities.

 

4. As you are aware, a credit agreement that is not properly documented and signed by the customer is totally unenforceable under the CCA and therefore is a complete defence to any court claim that is issued.

 

5. Furthermore you are reminded that under s78 sub section (6) whilst the default continues you are not entitled to enforce the agreement in law

 

Yours faithfully

 

 

PS If they don't have a signed agreement then you don't have an account do you

Could someone help me please? Years ago about 5 to be precise we bought some products from 'Currys' now these were taken out on finance, you know the kind, pay back within 6 mths i think it was, if you dont then you pay monthly to GE Capital, this was done at the time with a payment book at the bank/post office. We cannot find any details whatsoever with reagrds to the accounts that we had with them, is the address in leeds the one we would use, could we send them a S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) for statements, even though we dont know the account, maybe send ID. If anyone could help with we would be very gratefull.

Kathy Lampard also sent me a pile of statements along with a letter of abreviations, most of which dont apply to the abreviations used on my statements. As she never enclosed contact details including an address on her paperwork, as my initial letter had been redirected from the Redhill office, Surrey. Has anyone else had the same bumph delivered or can they deduce what these abreviations mean listed below.

 

CQA BRN IAD SAF NGC MSS DFC DFUW RIDSAL PRDBATCH ?

 

It all looks very obliging when you first recieve the paperwork but when you get down to calculations, the coding alongside the figures is a puzzle as to whats what.

The amount borrowed in 1995 was £2,010.00 following which, payments of £1241.44 were paid, albeit, intermitantly in the end. Nevertheless in 2001 I paid them off and the amount they were paid was £2111.98 most of which was interest added and charges for late payments. This was a secured loan. Im wondering where I stand, bearing in mind the loan began in 1995 although redeemed within the last six years. Any thoughts?

dax if you as a lay person cannot understand the abreviations (lets face it who outside that company would) then they have not complied with your SAR........as any info sent must be understandable by you. Tell them this & that you will report them to the ICO for none compliance..........they know you wont understand & are just trying to be smart a88se88

You know what Jon, irregardless of their silly letters game ive sat up and worked it out anyway. As I see it, I started this in 2006 and now because of them being silly, its 2007, so because we all know they like to add months to lessen our 6 year period of claiming, I wont give them any more time by writing more letters to stall things.

 

I kept notes of payments so NGC is a payment, DFC and FNL are penalties, so ive just used their terminology for the spreadsheet and they can explain it to the judge if needs be. Either way ive written to them asking for £463 an if it goes to Court it becomes £790.05 with interest so its up to them. If I could claim back the interest charged it would be a lot more, but everyone says 'dont go there'.

 

Whats interesting though is that the exhaustive list of abreviations sent running to 4 pages, have nothing to do with what theyve used on my statements. Perhaps they just like pretending to be all important and its a bit sad really dont you think..

Hi all

Forgive my ignorance. My husband had a finance arrangement for our car with GE Capital Bank. It finished last year. We got into such a terrible mess, due to the fact that they wouldn't move our payment date, so that each month we were charged for late payments. Is this something we can reclaim? I am persuing a claim for bank charges from my bank, but it has only just occurred to me that we could possibly claim from these people too. Thanks to anyone who replies to this.

 

All the best.

If they imposed late payment charges then yes you can claim & don't forget to include interest

 

Also read FAQ's before you start Don't rush in until you have some understanding of the procedure which once you get the hang of it is quite straight forward

I have had store cards in the past who were with GE Capital. I have since paid off the cards and snipped the cards, and I can't remember which stores they were with or account numbers. I do remember extortionate late payment charges though. Is there a way I can get the details in order to claim back, and does anyone know where I could get the information from?
