    • 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've received a reply to my complaint.

 

They've listed some dates when Burrington came to my house and the car wasn't sighted. This could be the case as on the dates mentioned I wasn't home, however no calling card was left which they claim.

 

They now state they will accept £50 a week if I pay £300 by Monday, I don't have £300.

still doesn't matter. what they did

 

 

the repo fee even if they did collect the car is an unlawful penalty

Suggest you inform them that you will not be paying the 300, as it is subject to a formal complaint with the fos

 

But you are prepared to offer £xx per week against the arrears/ regular payment

An update on this. They have stated they will accept £125 a month if I send them my sick note? Otherwise I would need to pay the £300 plus £125 a month.

 

I don't have a sick note, I'm on a phased return. I paid them £125 yesterday anyway, I also asked my doctor if they would write a letter but they said this isn't something she would do. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

I take it you are persuing your complaint with the FOS regarding this charge, and your treatment in general

 

Have you read the CCTA link I posted above

Further on and this is still a massive issue.

 

I have today made a complaint to the CCTA however today a company has also been to my address to take my car, luckily I wasn't home.

 

I have been looking at the bill of sale and wondered if anybody who has any expertise in this area could check it to see if everything is correct. The only issue I can see is someone from their company has signed as a witness however there is also room for 'signed by deed on behalf of carcashpoint limited by' and nobody has signed.

I have made some payments however they generally try to get me to agree to more than I can afford and once again due to illness recently and only receiving ssp have ran into difficulties.

 

The majority which is now owed is their charges they added for repossession which never happened.

 

I borrowed 750. To date I have paid 1,257.18. I still owe 1,091.76

 

included in the above are 150 recovery admin charge and 300 bailiff costs

Hi,

 

Sorry I never got back about this. I suffer from depression and go through bad spells.

Anywhere just to keep me from dealing with anymore stress

 

I've been paying £100 a month which they have accepted and haven't bothered me recently.

However I recently got a breakdown from them to find that I borrowed £750. Have so far paid back £1263.66 and still owe £1583.83

 

A lot of this is charges as they tried to reposes the car twice, they never took it as I was never home when their agents called.

They say they can still charge me for this as they still instructed and paid agents to call at my house.

 

I have complained to the CCTA once previously, other then an acknowledgement I never heard anymore.

Then I made a further complaint in January and whenever I ask about it I just get told the legal team are looking at it.

 

I am in a much better frame of mind at the moment to now tackle this but really don't know where to go from here.

Would it be better to contact the ombudsman than the CCTA?

 

Also as Car Cash Point state that in the documents I sign it said that if recovery action is taken, even if not successful, costs are added to the account, therefore can I still dispute this?

 

Thanks for all your help.

So I know it's been while but as advised I complained to the Ombudsman and after waiting for a very long time they've basically advised me that they will not peruse it as I didn't contact them within 6 months of receiving the final response to my complaint from CCP.

 

Any advice where to go from here. I have been sticking to the agreed payment plan and paying £25 a week, it will be paid off in May (thank the lord!). However I still don't agree that all of the charges they stuck on are correct. Yes they say they attempted repossession twice but 'I was never home' apparently and yet they've charged almost £700 a time. It says in the agreement they can charge their costs but it doesn't state what they are.

what does the contracts ay and is it fair? you have been advised that the add ons arent lawful so you can pay off the loan and then give them warning you intend to recover the monies shelled out on their unlawful add ons, recovery activity etc. but you will need to add all of this up and be able to say why it isnt a lawful charge and then demand they pay it back plus interest. If you dont have it clear in your own head it will be harder to put onto paper.

they cant charge for failed repos's

 

just like any other 'penalty' charge they are unlawful.

 

at the time of the repo attempts were you passed the 1/3rd stage?

SAR them then tell them to bugger off. Theyd never go to court for UE charges, and if they did, theyd hope for judgement by default.
