    • 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.

Hi all.

I've received a lovely email & statement from MMF which reads as follows:

 

CUSTOMER REFERENCE: XXXXX

CURRENT OUTSTANDING BALANCE: £360.00

 

Dear Xxxx

 

We have been attempting to contact you and secure a solution to repay the above account for some time and have been un-successful so far.

 

In light of this and as the matter remains unresolved, we will now instruct our solicitors to commence recovery action.

 

If you prefer to speak with us and resolve this matter before this next step, our offer of help in finding the right solution still stands but you must act quickly to prevent this course of action by calling us today on 0113 887 6876.

 

If you prefer you can email us at [email protected].

 

If you are experiencing financial difficulties please be assured that our specialist team will be able to assist you.

 

Information pertaining to this account may be registered with credit referencing agencies, this information may then be used by future lenders, landlords and employers and may affect your ability to secure credit in the future.

 

Please find attached your statement of account.

 

If we do not hear from you within the next 7 days we will be left with no alternative but to refer your account to Moriarty Law Limited.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Motormile Finance UK Limited (MMF)

 

Now as you will see from the attached statement the debt relates to 2010 & a company I've never heard of.

On the statement it also has a date of 24/11/2010 - Default Fee.

 

So that means the account defaulted 6 years ago - does this mean it's now statute barred?

 

Should I write back to them stating this, and that any further perusal will result in harassment etc etc?

Send the prove it letter. Theyve already been reprimanded for this sort of thing.

 

If you dont know the company, dont send the SB, send the prove it letter. If they ignore it, then theyve messed up. Or you could send a prove it letter and say you dont know the debt, and if it was yours it would be SB anyway.

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

:D

Sorry for renewing an old post..

email received from BPO "BPO Collections ("BPO") have been instructed by Motormile Finance to recover the outstanding balance of this account"

 

This is a joke, for a start MMF do actually have it on record to write to postal address - so is it a wait till postal receipt, or SB letter?

 

The email was actually sent to my shortened Christian name & surname - not what I'd use for official documents.

Customer is MMF

This is some of the email:

Our Client: Motormile Finance

BPO Reference No: xxxxxxxx

Original Account No: xxxxxxxx

Outstanding Balance: £360.00

21/09/2017

 

Important information regarding your Motormile Finance account - Please Do Not Ignore

 

Dear xxxxxxxx

BPO Collections ("BPO") have been instructed by Motormile Finance to recover the outstanding balance of this account which currently stands at £360.00. Motormile Finance have purchased this account from Northway. BPO can help you clear this balance and would like to speak with you to discuss your options. It is important to note that clearing your balance may help to improve your credit rating. Our client, Motormile Finance, has agreed that we can make the following exclusive offer to help you clear your account while making a substantial saving:

 

50% Discount offer. Subject to affordability, if you are able to pay £180.00, we will discount the remainder, meaning you will save £180.00. If you are unable to pay this as a one off payment please contact BPO to discuss your options, as we may be able to accept this settlement over a number of instalments, based on your individual financial situation.

 

 

Bottom of email says its from:

Graham Rankin (Signature)

Graham Rankin

Managing Director

BPO Collections Ltd

 

The reference number on here relates to what MMF purchased from Northway.

Looking on my archived Credit Reports, an Experian one (Ran 01/06/2014) appears the Default Entry for this debt by MMF, for £527 (£167 of charges) that has the account start date of 28/10/2010 and a Default Date of 26/11/2010. Default date coincides with the Default fee that appears in the statement (post #3)

 

By 01/09/2014 the entry has been removed.

 

Is it best to ignore or send the SB letter / email.

 

 

I think why this has reared it's head is due to myself contacting MMF relating to another debt (CFO) that they are incorrectly reporting.
