    • 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 advice please,

 

 

back in April 2012 I requested a copy of a CCA on a credit card from RBS, they failed to comply,

I put the account in dispute,

they came back eventually with a recon agreement that did not have the correct "necessary prescribed terms".

 

 

After numerous letters to and from RBS and then solicitors it went to court in Feb 2014.

I did try mediation but RBS refused,

in my defence I asked the court to strike out the claim as RBS failed to provide a CCA,

the Judge ordered in my favour,

 

 

the judgement was

 

"1. RBS having failed to comply with the relevant provisions of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 these proceedings are stayed

(and no interest is to accrue on any outstanding sums) until RBS complies with its responsibilities to the satisfaction of the Court.

 

2. Provided that if RBS fails to comply with paragraph 1. above by 4pm on the 16th June 2014 then the claim is dismissed.

 

RBS did not,

their solicitors then wrote to me in April 2014 asking me to sign a consent order to withdraw the claim and no order to costs.

I replied inviting them to issue a notice of discontinuance, which they did for all of the claim and I have a copy which was sent to Court.

 

Out of the blue I get a letter the other day saying the RBS had failed to contact or agree a suitable repayment plan

and have passed details on to a collection agent who will be in contact to discuss a repayment option.

 

As far as I'm concerned,

a judgement had been made,

RBS withdrew the case and if a claimant discontinues a claim

they can't take the same case back to Court if the defendant had filed a defence,

 

 

I really am getting fed up with RBS and feel its time to deal with these incompetent people,

what's my options harassment ??

they can still ask for payment

 

 

you can ask them to go away.

 

 

has the debt been sold

or simply sent out for collection to a powerless DCA?

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...

Should have gone down the Consent Order route....far greater protection.They can continue to try to collect on a discontinued claim......its only if they try to issued a further claim on the same debt that they require the courts permission...as a defence was submitted.

 

CPR 38 (7).....

 

 

 

Hope this helps
