    • Hi all, I purchased a car in January from Big Motoring World Leeds. At the time of sale I was shown a tab on the salespersons computer marked 'service history' and I was able to take comfort knowing that the car had been serviced on 3 occasions as the date, mileage and company was there on screen. Being a 3 and a bit year old car that, in my mind, constituted full service history 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, collected the car a week later. Once home I settled down to through the book pack etc. Opened the service history booklet and it was completely blank. In addition there were no invoices detailing that any services had been done. I duly contacted BMW and asked them to supply me with proof of service history. They responded saying that on their 'vehicle documentation checklist' I had ticked and then signed to the fact that I had seen the service history and that I was happy with it. I dug out this checklist and what it actually states is 'seen service history online' which I had in the showroom. BMW seem to think that this satisfies their responsibility in providing service history. The reality is that I don't have any proof that the vehicle has ever been serviced! For my own peace of mind I ended up paying for a service that satisfied the manufacturers maintenance schedule to the tune of £330. I even complained to the finance company that the vehicle contravenes the Sale of Goods act 2015 as l, in effect, ot is not as described. Amazingly they weren't interested and instead I just got an email stating that it's not illegal to sell a vehicle without service history and that servicing costs were part and parcel of vehicle ownership. I've since complained to the ombudsman and am awaiting to see if they can help. I have no issue with the car but the treatment and customer service has been the worst I've ever experienced. I don't really know what to do next as I really do feel aggrieved that I've had to pay to service a car that should have already been serviced. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? 🙏

    • 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.

What debts do you have, how much.

Do you have a thread on them?

Have you checked them all for enforceability?

Have you reclaimed any charges/PPI etc?

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

they are catalogue and

mobiile phone debts also

a provident debt and

i think a payday loan debt.

 

 

i dont have a thread on them .

the debts are not beyond the 6 year period if that is what you mean .

 

 

i had 3 letters arrive today 1 from lowell offering me a 75% discount on £199! (jd williams)

1 from restons with an income/expenditure sheet saying i have rtill 30/11/2016 to contact them could result in further action which may include county court claim (£467) on behalf of capquest for a very account.

 

 

also 1 from santander saying they have passed my current account debt onto wescot. (£345)

75% discount should tell you everything.

"We wouldnt stand a chance in court Mr Meldrew so please at least give us a little bit of your money so we can have a good old knees up at xmas"

 

Seriously tho, you should send CCA requests for each and every account, save for the lowell ccj. All will have separate account/ref numbers so easy to separate them out. There are templates in our library to help and dont forget the £1 postal order for each one.

 

Now, the lowell ccj, whats that one all about? Was it a similar tyoe of debt, could it have been defended, was it a rubberstamped default judgement because you ignored the claim form?

hahaha yes whilst they dance around to "money money money it's a rich mans world!"

 

where will i find the account numbers ,

on clearscore,

they are starred out at the beginning.

 

 

i have have had letters before but just ignored them

but when 3 arrived today it peaked my interest in nosing through my credit file.

especially as one debt is now with the bank.

 

the ccj is from a debt with littlewoods and i'm not sure if it could have been defended as i am not well up on the procedures for defending debt or alleged debt.

 

 

at the time i thought "we" had no knowledge of the ccj being issued but i have recently discovered my partner likes to bin DCA letters!

so yes it was passed without defence.

i cannot say whether the forms ever arrived here or didn't.

 

i contacted the court and and filed 2 forms and the court accepted an offer of £50 per month to pay the ccj.

lowells wanted something like 200! but i'm actually paying b w legal for this ccj .

everything is so tangled up with debt recovery that i can't figure out what is owed to who and why ! on my clear score file.

 

why can't it just say Mr Meldrew purchased a sweeping brush from littlewoods for £250 (rrp £1.99) and defaulted 3 months later and the account (debt) was sold for £6 to lowells portfolio (instead of some starred out reference number)

oh and perhaps a visual signed credit agreement could be added

Each of the dca letters will have a reference number which relates to that specific account,

If you dont have the account or reference numbers,

ring the original creditors and ask them for them.

 

When was the ccj registered?

That info is on clearscore

the CCJ is bogus too.

They filed on another address,

you fell for it,

contacted the court

and they said they wanted more per month because they wanted payment before they were rumbled.

And you still gave them cash.

So basically the CCJ is bogus too. They filed on another address, you fell for it, contacted the court and they said they wanted more per month because they wanted payment before they were rumbled. And you still gave them cash.

 

i can't be sure the ccj is bogus because the county court bailiffs had the correct address.

it was only when i had bailiffs contact me though that i knew about the ccj.

 

 

whether i owed as much as i am now said to owe i have no idea.

stand up to the fleecers

and TAKE CONTROL.

sadly just like every debt management provider

they never ever check the enforceability of the debts

or that the full balance IS really true.

  • 3 weeks later...

sorry i haven't been able to bring myself to do the things you have recommended i do.

fearful that i may end up having to repay all these debts at once as a consequence they all take me to court.

 

today received a county court claim form for 467£ from capquest (shop direct).

not sure what you mean by a signing my life away with a DRO..

 

st the moment i seem to be drowning in a puddle of debt .

more out goings than incoming with these companies chasing me for money i just don't have.

 

to top it off i'd actually be worse off employed .

these companies would likely go to take money out of my wage and i'd pay council tax + full rent.

who would think £976 a month would be better for a family of four than being in work!

 

these companies should not be allowed to lend thousands to people whose disposable income means it will take them 10+ years to repay what they owe!

 

it is brilliant when they say "yes" until the bills start coming in and you actually can't afford them

 

do they means test..

do they hell..

they ask whats the source of your income and how much

.. heres £500 credit. thanks

 

shop direct.(littlewoods, k&co , very, isme and every other one of you!) :D

i used checkmyfile which seems a lot more informative than clearscore. i guess paid sites need to have more detailed info to compete with free sites but i would think as the free ones become more detailed , the paid ones will either become free or obsolete.
