    • 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.

Am I correct that the prescribed terms for a fixed sum variable rate consumer credit act agreement is:

 

a amount of credit

b interest rate

c amount of payment

 

Credit £25,000

 

Interest £9.319,57 applied at 4.5% above banks base rate 5%

 

payments £408.68 x 84

 

Theres no total amount payable as this could alter due to an interest change throughout the time of the agreement. However, the amount of credit plus the interest applied to the credit do NOT equal the initial monthly payment?

 

£25,000 plus £9.319.57 = £34,319.57 divide by 84 payments = £408.56

 

This payment appears to be 12 pence less than the payment stated on the agreement. Anyone clued up on this?

As its a variable rate loan/agreement then 12p is neither here nor there, looks quite normal as far as agreements go.

So you believe misstating a prescribed term is irrelevant?

No a prescribed term is very relevant, but if the interest rate varies at any point then the monthly payment by nature will also vary, so in that respect a 12p difference is really quite irrelevant.

 

Where is it you are trying to go with this, annulment of agreement maybe?

 

Couldn't see a court in the land agreeing there was an issue to be frank.

Payments under a loan agreement are a prescribed term are they not?

Stop sitting on fence Andy. If the payments are incorrect on a loan agreement would it render it unenforceable????/

Bottom is getting sore anyway now...sorry Paul only just got back on the forum:-)...I personally would have to agree with Martin...it wouldn't render it unenforceable IMHO...but it would allow you to possibly seek recompense..subject to the age and how much the payments have varied?

Andy, my understanding is that if a prescribed term has been misstated it renders the agreement unenforceable. have i got this wrong??

The credit limit in Wilsons case was not missing it was mis stated this rendered the agreement unenforceable.

 

Ive been contacted by a pensioner who's husband recently passed away. The bank are withholding ppi totalling £33k that was mis sold on several loans. Ive read the letter sent to her MP last week and it reveals her husband never signed what the bank refers to a regulated agreement as an "amendment" document.

Im aware of this and if they use "any" they must make sure "any" is correct.

Within 3) Repayments, at point (f) The power of the creditor to vary any of the above.

We are talking 12p in variation!

 

I still believe its such a trivial point that no court in the land is going to render it unenforceable. Unless of course there are other enforceability issues?

Varying an agreement is totally different to miss stating a prescribed term.

 

If the interest rate in a running credit account (prescribed term) is stated as 29% but is actually 28% do you think a court has the power to enforce just because it's a small differential??

But that isnt the case that you are referring to, you are referring to a 12p differential on a variable rate loan.

 

I really dont want to engage in a huge debate with you about it, i have given what i believe to be a fair assessment based on the information provided.

You are of course under absolutely no obligation to heed a word i have said.

 

With that in mind i dont think i can be of any further help and will take this opportunity to allow others to comment and shall bow out.

The payments assume no variation of interest in the cca agreement otherwise they could be stated as any amount.

 

Case law confirms a prescribed term cannot be slightly mis-stated.

 

I'll post tomorrow once I have an experts view on this.

 

33. In my judgment the objective of Schedule 6 is to ensure that, as an inflexible condition of enforceability, certain basic minimum terms are included which the parties (with the benefit of legal advice if necessary) and/or the court can identify within the four corners of the agreement. Those minimum provisions combined with the requirement under section 61 that all the terms should be in a single document, and backed up by the provisions of section 127 (3), ensure that these core terms are expressly set out in the agreement itself: they cannot be orally agreed; they cannot be found in another document; they cannot be implied; and above all they cannot be in the slightest mis-stated. As a matter of policy, the lender is denied any room for manoeuvre in respect of them. On the other hand, they are basic provisions, and the only question for the court is whether they are, on a true construction, included in the agreement. More detailed requirements, which are designed to ensure that the debtor is made aware, so far as possible, of specified information (including information contained in the minimum terms) are to be found in Schedule 1.

The thing about APR's is that they must be accurate but there is a very narrow margin of tolerance , even at 0.01% the difference would be far greater than the 12p

 

The rounding may easily be to do with the way interest is calculated

 

As for the PT's you missed the number of payments and when they should start

 

The actual variation is 0.1% in APR

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Say the credit is stated as £10k and the interest is £2k (assumes no variance in the rate over the length of the loan) and theres 60 monthly payments, the first payment to be paid one month after the loan is drawn. What would the agreement state the monthly payment to be?

Credit plus interest = £12k divide by 60 = £200. Is this correct?

Just a question

 

Is this a defaulted loan that you want to challenge in court or is it an academic discussion?

 

If it was from 2007 and 7 years it should of course have been paid off now.

 

If it has been defaulted , how much is left ?
