    • 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 everyone

 

I have a default on my credit report, dated the 9th August 2016, after many conversations with the co-op about the issue. I believe the default should not have been issued, and was issued in breach of the consumer credit act. Here's a timeline of events and amounts

 

  • 02/11/15 - Overdraft facility cancelled with outstanding amount of £1667
  • 10/11/15 - Repayment plan set up for £31.57 per month, for 6 months, with the letter stating that the co-op would be in contact to re-evaluate the plan at a later date.
  • I made all payments on time as per the agreement, with the final payment on 04/06/16. The payments were made by direct debit.
  • No contact received from co-op
  • 08/08/16 - Letter from co-op saying the account had been placed in default, and the debt had been passed on to a collection agency. The letter stated that the co-op would refuse to discuss the account any further
  • 09/08/16 - Default registered on credit report (this was not noticed by me until more recently). I had called the co-op, and they said the letter had been issued in error, and we set up another payment plan to continue repayments. This plan was for £x per month, starting on 01/09/16
  • 09/08/16 - Account statement shows balance changing to £0, then back to -£1423
  • 12/08/16 - Default notice received, stating that I had until 29/08/16 to repay the account in full, otherwise a default would be issued.
  • Multiple calls to co-op were made about this after the notice, and they assured me it had again been issued by mistake ("a mix-up in the process") and would be recalled, and I could continue making payments.

 

In September, I also received 3 more letters (on the 30/08, 07/09 and 23/09) asking me to pay money into the account, even though I already was. When I called the co-op about this, they told me to ignore them.

 

Then on the 5th November I checked my credit report, and noticed the default. I again called the co-op and was told it was an error, and that it would be removed. I was told the issue was being referred to the Credit Ref. Amendment department of the co-op bank.

 

My main issue here is that the default was issued before I had any chance to rectify it. I'm pretty sure the consumer credit act says they have to give me chance to repay in a certain period when the notice is sent.

 

I'm unsure what to do next, I've heard nothing since then, and I was making plans to buy a local business by applying for a business loan, but there's no way that will happen now.

 

I have been making payments and the current balance is now £1335.

 

Was I in the wrong here? Can anyone advise me on what to do next please?

Well they were entitled to default you on the date you first defaulted (nov11)

 

But they didn't

 

CEO complaint?

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...
