    • 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.

This is asking for advice

 

 

ten years ago I was taken very ill and had to give up working

have undergone ten years of major surgery and hospital treatment

my wife working part time to look after me .

 

 

rightly or wrongly and I know in hindsight wrongly before I was admitted to hospital

I was fully aware I would be unable to keep up with my outstanding debt repayments .

 

contacted a debt management company to handle my debts as I was fully aware

that within weeks I would not be in any position to deal with it

and thinking that being honest and facing up to this that I would not be able to deal with this

along with trying to take pressure from my wife

 

 

we both signed agreement for the debt management company to act on our behalf

and at no time without hiding from any liability.

 

Just in the last few months I have been well enough to relook at what we had done

and now realise what a huge mistake I made as after all these years

 

 

after paying thousands of pounds I have only reduced the by hundreds

yet I was paying for PPi and other payment protection schemes on all the accounts

 

 

yet a few years the same management firm offered a PPI repayment plan

although they stated that some of the debt was covered

and they reclaimed refund all that happened was it reduced the debt

and I ended up with another debt for their fees which was added on to the monthly repayment plan

and according to them now it will take another 89 years to repay what we owe by which we shall both be dead

 

Yet when looking through old paper work in the last few weeks due to my health improving

I found a credit statement from one of my debt companies stating that they had accepted the monthly repayment

of one pound per month but where changing a payment options plan of sixteen pounds

and this was three years after I first entered in to this debt management plan.

 

I have within the last few days asked the debt management firm if they had details

of copies my original credit agreements and as they acted on our behalf

could they forward them to me or ask for them

 

 

which I was informed they did not and would not be able to obtain them

 

 

surely how can they undertake a debt management plan without the agreements .

 

I am fully aware now that I have been been ripped off by the debt management firm

and by the credit firms and now believe honesty does not pay by admitting my indebtedness

trusting somebody to deal with it has now cost my wife's health and I will never recover my my illness .

 

I feel there must be a solution but it seems far to late to do anything now

as I accepted the debts by handing every over to a debt management firm

as I was not in position to deal with it due my health so any help would be very gratefully

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...

Hi The first debt management firm was called Spectrum then Money Village and the PPI firm was Curly Wig if that is of any help

 

trouble is I am about go back in hospital for further spine surgery which means I am unable to undertake much for months at a time .

 

due to my illness and now my wife's early stages of Alzheimer's diagnosis we have now no chance of repayment of these debts of which we both fully and totally accept our liabilities for

 

our health issues are stopping use from being able to return to work to repay them and being stupid enough to think that we where covered by PPI and the debt management firm where acting our best interests to help repay the debt due the situation we found ourselves in.
