    • 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.

Ok DX ,thanks i`ll get a letter off to them,

should it go to Capquest or Drydens solicitors who are the ones badgering me at the moment?

Both?

 

Also they did the same to me with a BOS credit card debt

,also defaulted at the same time ,

same process with CAB and made payments to Capquest starting in OCT 2009.

 

 

I stopped paying them but they took me to court and i have a CCJ for £10.

If that was also statute barred at the time of the court action is there anything i can do about it? (court case was Dec 2013)

Hi Back on this one (Capquest /EGG),

 

i sent them a letter months ago stating that the debt was statute barred before i stupidly started paying Capquest . As far as im aware this was a 7 year gap.

 

Today i received this letter from their solicitors Drydens Fairfax.

 

I have also noticed the debt has increased from £1600 when it was with Egg to now almost £3000. Can they do this???

Thanks

 

This is the correspondence i received from from them the last one was the end of June until today,

 

their letter refering to statute barred is interesting ,

they totally ignored my letter i sent to them explaining how it was statute barred before i first paid Capquest and that they were to stop harassing me .

 

Do they possibly have any sort of case???

Thanks

Hi Dx,

I cant seem to find the letter i sent Drydens about the statute barred matter, should i send it to them again ?

 

 

According to my records i defaulted with Egg either dec 2000 or January 2001.

 

CAB were dealing with debts on our behalf

a £1 a month payment arrangement was set up confirmed in a letter from Egg on 15th Feb 2001.

 

 

It stated to commence payments of £1 a month commencing 16th March 2001 for six months.

After this six months we were advised that i should stop paying them ..

 

So around end of 2001 that i stopped paying Egg (but dont have proof of when exactly).

 

I started paying Capquest on the 29th Oct 2008 so thats nearly 7 years i think.

 

Drydens are saying also that i made a payment to capquest in dec 2010 of £19.55 and last payment of £19.55 on January 31st 2011.

 

 

I dont remember making any such payments and if they werent there it would also be statute barred in the period from before oct 2010 and now.

 

They sent me this screenshot .

 

Apparently those 2 payments in dec 2010 and jan 2011 were made

heres where it gets complicated ,

i didnt have a chequebook

payments were made by my` mothers chequebook from her account`.

(i gave her the money of course).

 

How does that stand ,

probably all the other payments i made to capquest were using cheques from my mothers account as well?

Different address from me of course as well!

Thanks

doesn't matter what drydens produce or say of recent times.

 

you need to clearly pointout there was a 7yrs gap between

So around end of 2001 that i stopped paying Egg (but dont have proof of when exactly).

 

I started paying Capquest on the 29th Oct 2008 so thats nearly 7 years i think.

so it was already SB'd by the time you started paying capquest in 2008

 

and you demand all your payments back.

 

same with the CCJ? one

You have a debt for an unknown amount.

The debt still exists and anything you paid should reduce that debt.

 

However as the debt became statute barred no-one can take action to enforce the payment of the debt.

The debt doesnt go away but Drydens know that taking you to court cannot make any difference to the present situation.

 

I'm sure that someone is grateful you have paid them in the interim but it doesnt ressurect any authority to take action against you.

They may "deem" something, that is just use of words saying you should take their word for it or agree with them, you dont have to.

 

you wont be getting a refund though but you could look up to see if there are any fees, penalties or interest added tyo the account that are reclaimable.

 

 

Interest will generally be knocked off the sum owed but things like PPI payments are recoverable as cash as they are not part of a lawful agreement, however, your original agreement is too old to recalim such fees but it wont make much of a difference as you arent going to be paying them anything else so a 0-0 draw on that one.

So to be clear ,

 

i need to send Drydens solicitors or Capquest or both? ,

 

a letter stating the dates showing that the debt was statute barred before Capquest got hold of the debt and stating they have no legal grounds for court action to persue this debt???

 

Thanks

they are the same people just a next desk

 

but you were already told to send that before.

 

the debt was already statute barred,

you got a letter threatening court [which they under the guidelines are NOT allowed to send - threaten court on a statute barred debt]

 

so you paid under duress and false representations,

you want your money back,

 

but the bottom line is you owe nowt. the debt is still statute barred.

 

and they are still stating that ANY payment resets the SB, NO IT DOES NOT - the debt was ALREADY statute barred and you've told and proved that too them.

AND

yet again, they've threatened court...against the rules that govern them.

They are still hassling me.

Received this date 9th Dec from Crap Stone and this dated 12th Dec from Drys Den ,received today. They are still claiming any acknowledgement restarts the Statute barred status and also notice the difference in almost £400 between the alleged amount owed. The original debt was something like £1500.

letter date 12th received 16th dec.jpg

Not sure what you mean ,its all in the thread.

 

Egg credit card defaulted around feb 2001 balance around £1500 ,

CAB were dealing with various debts ,

paid egg under arrangement £1 a month,

only kept that up for around 6 months as CAB advised to concentrate on more important debts.

Paid nothing from late 2001 -Jan/Feb 2002 until CRap quest tried Statutory Demand threat ,

so stupidly started paying them in Oct 2008.

 

 

Last payment appears to be Jan 2011 as stated in the letter i posted today fom Dry Dens.

 

I have sent Dry Dens solicitors (for Crap quest), two letters stating i believe it to have been statute barred before i started paying Crap quest.

 

 

 

They keep coming back with court threats and stating if a payment was made it resets the limitation period.

(not according to what you`ve said and what ive read everywhere else.

 

I dont particulrly want to go to court over this but Dry Dens keep going on about this Jan 2011 payment that was made and skirting around the previous period when it was more than likely already statute barred.
