    • 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.

Hello forum, hope someone can help, even just a little bit.

 

I have an old credit card debt with RBS which for the last 2-3 years I have paid a pound a month.

 

 

I am not registered on any electoral role as I dont have a home.

I stay on friends floors or with some family and also pay for Bed and breakfasts and this has been since October 2014.

 

My debt is 5, 855 to RBS.

At an old address (where I still go and get post),

 

 

I have a letter from RBS stating that RBS have partnered with Westcot Credit services

who will manage the remainder of my plan.

And they will contact me within 14 days.

 

What do I do?

I dont have extra money from working as this goes on accommodation when I cant stay at other peoples houses,

and I was paying £1 month.

 

Its making me to the point of despair and life isnt easy as it is.

A relative has offered to pay them £1,000 to get rid of them due to me being so down with this.

But I dont think they will take such a small amount to get them out of my life.

I just have come to the end of my tether with it all and trying to survive not just live.

 

Can anyone offer a small bit of advice.

I hate all this over my head, for the sake of this amount I just have had enough,

I dont know how to handle what Westcot will do and had enough.

Help anyone please.

Kind regards

H

Hi HDEBT and welcome to CAG

 

You can continue to pay them £1 a month (RBS and ignore Westy)...I would also request a copy of your agreement from RBS using a section 78 request and see what response you get.

 

Regards

 

Andy

Thank you for the welcome

just remember that wetcloths are a DCA

 

a DCA is NOT A BAILIFF

 

and they have

NO SUCH LEGAL POWERS.

 

don't waste that relatives money either!

esp to a DCA!!

 

ignore them totally and pay RBS as advised

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...

thank you for link - which i have read and can do the letter, I just dont understand what it means by doing this. If they dont reply (RBS) in 14 days what does that mean to me? The debts gone or I dont worry anymore?

 

DCA - Westcot I have read so much on the internet about their nasty techniques and how they work, it does worry me.

 

Regards

Although you have just made me smile calling them the unusual name for Westcot.

 

Would it not be worth me trying for the Full and final settlement to RBS and offer the £1,000 against the £5,855.

 

Surely they would accept this than gain nothing but a £1 for the rest of the next god knows how many years.

 

This is the only debt I have and could sort myself out if this was gone for good, I worry it hangs over me all the time.

 

Just want to have less worry and my life back with no debt and start over.

Oh, so they probably wouldn't want to know?

Thank you for replying anyway.

 

I thought that some things better than nothing and then they would have money. So what happens with section 78 letter I am typing to send.

 

Thanks for the help anyway

it checks they RBS hold the paperwork to legally enforce the debt.

if they don't then it drastically changes things to your advantage

 

 

can you remember when you took the card out?

might be an idea to check your credit file too?

Its quite a few years, I am not completely sure.

 

Possibly 6 years or so, could be more.

 

I presume RBS hold all the paperwork but I have already got the letter ready to send as you advised.

 

Have not checked my credit file for many many years.

 

How do I check it.

 

I think years ago I had to pay to check it with a company.

 

What do I need to check on the credit file?

 

Oh god I dread what is on the credit report file,

but would be helpful in possibly getting my credit back on track so I can eventually find a place to live :)

I have sent a letter to RBS offering a settlement amount and explaining my situation. This was sent on 6th August 2016 - Over month ago.

 

I have still not heard anything and waiting is not easy.

 

My question is

How long before they eventually contact back with a response?

and

Does anyone have the correct address to which I would send an offer of settlement on RBS Credit Card debt so I can check i have sent it to the correct department (just in case) I dont want it to of got lost

 

Kind Regards
