    • 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 Dan

 

If you can get hold of the original summons and in particular he Particulars of Claim....what did they plead with regards to post judgment interest?

 

Regards

 

Andy

 

Hi All,

 

After the collapse of my business when the credit crunch hit we were declared bankrupt about 2 years ago (and discharged a year ago).

 

During our money troubles I went to pot and couldn't deal with anything properly which has resulted in two of our unsecured lenders securing what we owed as second charges against our property.

 

The worst behaved of the creditors will probably not be a surprise, Link Financial.

 

Basically when Link took over the debt we received one call from them which went like this .....

 

LINK: You owe us £6800 how are you going to pay?

ME: We don't have £6800 as we are having financial difficulties but I can make a token payment?

LINK: We will have to take you to court then. Paperwork will be in the post.

 

True to their word the court papers arrived and were filed at court and as part of the process I sent a statement to the court advising that we had never refused to pay but were having financial difficulties as well as suffering from depression and would be will to make whatever payments we could towards it.

 

I'm still unsure why but the long and short of it is that the court awarded a CCJ, then secured the debt against our property and THEN gave them the go ahead to charge us 24% interest on top of a debt we already couldn't afford?????????

 

The debt has now increased by another £10000 but we would like to get straight so wondered what if anything we can do to return the debt to somewhere near it original amount?

 

Can only advise when you answer my last post Big Dan

They can only claim interest if they have included it within their particulars of claim.

Hi Andy,

 

Particulars of claim attached and do state that they reserve the right to charge post judgement interest but we have several letters (a copy ofone i have attached) which state "We will not ask you to pay any more than the amount you would have paid if you had continued to pay your account as per the original terms of the agreement"

 

This would be £8000 or so.

Hi,

 

We are just going over our finances as we approach the end of a bankruptcy and have had a bit of a shock whilst looking over a contract we had with GE Money.

 

Both myself and my wife were under the impression that we had signed up for 0% finance but from the contract it appears in fact that we were charged 23.1%!!!

 

However we have several other issues with the loan and how it was sold.

 

Firstly shortly after moving to our address we were door knocked by a Safetyle salesman and very naively during what was meant to just be a quotation we were railroaded into signing up for new windows and doors as they had an offer running which ended within days (Yes i know now).

 

Secondly we were told that the whole amount including interest would be £8000 or so as per the paper work we were shown which states Total Cost......

 

Thirdly the paperwork we have has not been signed by the salesman or anyone from GE so this leads me to question whether the loan is enfoceable at all.

 

We have several other issues with GE following a period of financial difficulty during which they applied numerous charges and then sold the debt to a collection agency but would be interested to have thought on the actual contract this is all based on.

 

I've attached scans of the paperwork.

 

Thanks

 

Dan

 

Try these :-)

I have numerous problems with it but how helpful any of them are is questionable firstly there is how we were sold the loan.

 

Then how GE refused to help us when we got into trouble before harassing us on the phone almost daily and then adding loads of charges.

 

Then how they sold the debt despite refusing to help us to Link Financial.

 

Then Link refusing to help us, accept any payment or stave of court proceedings while we got ourselves together.

 

The court for allowing Link to get CCJ, and then Charging Order on our property before then allowing them to charge interest on the "debt" and doubling the amount we owed.

 

And now that the debt is attached to our property preventing us from refinancing as they wont accept any reasonable offer of settlement.

 

Apart from that not much ;-)

ah merged with an old thread...we now have the fuller story too

 

I see this was a merge of 5 other threads that you've asked about this before on....

 

so its all down to post judgemental interest which I think you said was mentioned in the particulars but that upload was lost in our virus attach 18mts ago.

 

i'll let andy revise the thread.

but it looks like you are stuck with it..
