    • 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.

I had an account with Wonga that was taken out in April 2011.

 

I received an email from Wonga in Feb 2015 just over a year ago stating that i no longer owe any money to Wonga or to PRA(UK) ltd and that my credit file would be updated to reflect this.

 

My issue is this.

 

I believe i have 2 defaults in relation to Wonga on my credit file. 1 for £1145.00 from Wonga the other £1192.00 from PRA UK Ltd. They have different default dates however I'm sure they must be the same account as i cannot recall any other debts to that value at that time.

 

I have contacted both companies but haven't received any feedback as yet.

 

Question 1- Could they be the same accounts with different default dates and values? albeit similar.

 

Question 2- Does the Wonga buyback remove the default or just update the balance the zero?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi

It is highly possible that the two defaults are for the same debt but you haven't said whether PRA bought the Wonga debt or whether you had any other loans which could have been defaulted around the same time.

 

Regarding point 2. It would depend on what wonga said they will do. If they have said that they will update the file showing a zero balance then any default placed will remain for the rest of the 6 year period.

 

I assume you have the email from last year so you can then hold them to it.

 

With PRA, IF it is related to the Wonga debt, demand they remove it immediately as they are no longer the creditor

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I cannot recall anything else around that time that was defaulted.

I've emailed PRA a couple of times but they haven't replied. I'll give them a call and find out. Hopefully it's the wonga default duplicated. I've only got just over a yet to go until they drop off now I believe.

If you ring anyone, record the call in any way you can. If you have a home phone with a hands free option, use that and a mobile to record them. You do not have to tell them you are recording.
