    • 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.

Hello i was wondering if i could get some advice please.

 

 

Trying to resolve my current bad credit rating with equifax (218) with two defaults lodged upon my equifax report

- after years of avoiding i am finally in a financial position to repay/sort out my current credit standing.

 

My basic back story:

 

I had a current account with RBS since 2007

that then changed to have student overdraft facilities added in 2009 when i started studying. T

 

 

he problem being i changed my address & stopped studying (I was only living in temporary accommodation) and neglected to notify my bank of the change - after years of just completely ignoring/not thinking about my maxed out overdraft its finally time for me to repay/sort out my bad credit rating.

 

On my credit report it shows the account defaulted in 2011

- I phoned RBS to see if i could just pay the outstanding balance

and they notified me that i can't get the default removed from my account even if the balance is paid.

 

Is their any other option i could go through to try and get this default removed?

 

 

The account ended in Aug 2011 - so waiting until 2017 isn't really the best option for myself.

 

The second default is for the same address and its a BT broadband bill of £220 that is defaulted on my account.

 

 

This is marked as May 2009 on my credit report

- this means it will expire in this coming may for the six years mark.

 

 

Is it worth just paying this or waiting?

 

 

Regards

Maunder

 

p.s it may also be worth noting my credit rating for the exact same details on EXPERIAN state my credit score rating is 'GOOD'

 

Why would this be?

With the BT one, i would let it run its course :)

Itll drop off soon. Do you know which DCA its with?

 

As for RBS, they are right. Problem is you didnt update your address with them...

If you want to pay it, then do, but if you do , make a F+F offer, and also get it in writing that they will amend it to FULLY SETTLED!

 

We could do with some help from you.

thanks for the advice - whats a F+F offer?

 

 

Will having it marked as fully settled improve my credit rating

or will it mean the date it will be removed from my file in

- 2020 because thats the last payment paid (6 years)

debts with a defaulted date will VANISH from your file

on the defaults 6th birthday.

 

 

paying the debt off will NOT improve you rating

nor chances of say a mortgage.

 

 

just remember that even after the debts drop off

does nt mean they are sb'd or not still due.

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...

Thanks again - however i am a little confused at the last bit -

 

just remember that even after the debts drop off

does nt mean they are sb'd or not still due.

 

 

-- So i should just pay the RBS one and have it marked as paid or??

paying a debt off whilst it is still on your file

wont improve your credit rating if its defaulted.

 

 

All references to a defaulted debt must be removed from your credit files after 6 years

has passed from date of default, whether paid off or not.

.

the WHOLE ACCOUNT WILL VANISH, never to return.

.

however, this does not mean the debt itself is not still owed

consider a CCA request.

.

This is so that someone who continues paying something

- even after 6 years from default

- should not be at a disadvantage to someone who pays nothing after default

and ends up with a clean file after 6 years.

 

 

if people are not chasing you let it run.

 

 

who's to say the RBS OD is all your doing?

 

 

might be loaded with penalty fees

you need all the statements

 

 

time for an SAR.

 

 

F&F means full & final.
