    • 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.

Got a shock today and not sure what I can do apart from raise again with Experian?

 

Old defaulted Next account (from 2010) and passed too Debt Managers which dropped off my credit file a few weeks ago has reappeared this week with a default date of 1.8.16? and crashed my credit file which was recovering..

 

Now my understanding was it was statue barred as it passed the 6 year rule?

 

What can I do - i raised a query with Experian but I haven't any paper proof prior to it falling off my credit file?

Hi

All Credit Reference Agencies hold years of information and most surely will have a copy of the Next default and the date it was placed.

 

Irrespective of whether it was SB, Debt Managers should not have placed a brand new default and as such you should do two things.

 

1 Write to the CRA and dispute the entry, giving details of the previous entry.

2 Formal Complaint to Debt Managers for filing a default for:

a) Submitting a new default date when one had already been submitted in 2010

b) A clear breach of the Data Protection Act by filing a second default

c) Defamation as the default is clearly false.

 

 

I would head the letter to DM:

"I acknowledge no debt to you nor any company you claim to represent."

 

I would also state that any 'alleged debt' would be Statute Barred by virtue of the Limitations Act.

Once informed that a debt is SB, they must stop collection attempts unless they can prove it is not SB.

 

Just to confirm. You have not paid a penny nor admitted you owe this debt for the past 6 years?

 

Some DCA's come back with a 'payment' made sometime in the past 6 years. If they try this, you want to know where, when, who by and by what manner this payment was made.

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Many thanks.

 

History is Next registered a default in 2010 and then passed over to debt managers (same reference number) and the default changed to them.

 

No payments were ever made for over 6 years.

 

Default dropped off recently and then reappeared this week by' Next' themselves with a default date of 1.8.16.

 

The amount they have defaulted on the 1.8.16 is actually £500 less than was originally reported.

 

I have already raised a query with Experian and waiting for there response.

Sorry for the late reply.

That is good news. Have you checked the other CRA's (Equifax, Callcredit)?

 

Have debt manager backed off?

complain to the owner of the default.

give them 14 days to remove the account if not

you will raise a complaint with the ICO.

and seek monetary compensation

 

include a copy of the original default notice

or copy of the relevant page from your credit file.

 

theres little point in complaining to the CRF firms

as it will be on all 3.

 

dx

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...
