    • 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.

Please can you tell me the best way to deal with Store Card Debts?

 

I have two which I have defaulted on.

John Lewis and M&S.

 

 

These cards were both originally taken out pre 1997.

I cant find any of my paperwork pre this date.

 

I have been paying a minimum amount each month of a £1 for the last 5 years and they are both pressing me at the moment to send them an Income and Expenditure form which personally I feel is none of their business.

 

What should I do?

 

I presume if I stop paying them anything they will send straight to their solicitors?

 

Amounts outstanding are around £5K on each

 

I do not have an income at the moment

 

Thank you

First thing to do? CCA them. keep paying as you are. If they cant provide a compliant response, then you stop paying. However, they are perfectly entitled to mark your credit file, so be aware.

 

AS for repayments, you could tell them that your financial circumstances have not changed, £1 is the most you can pay, and possibly give them a very very simple budget summary.

 

If they fail to provide the CCA in 12+ 2 days, then you stop paying and they cannot chase you through solicitors or court until they provide one. They can still contact you and ask you to repay though.

 

So CCA them first, and IF they respond properly, provide a copy of a benefits letter or similar and tell them £1 is all theyre going to get.

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..

Thanks Renegadeimp, if I enclose a copy of my tax Credit form to them they will see my partners imcome which is just pension, so is this the best thing to send them?

Is there a legal obligation to send them my income and expenditure?

Why do you want to send them any information? Don't send them any information until you have received the CCA. Then come back here.

who have you been paying these £!'s too all these years?

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...

This. as i said at the start. CCA first. Do not do ANYTHING else until you either get a reply or the 12+2 expires. Whichever comes first.

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..

Just discovered that Arrow have marked my credit file in 2016 when I stopped paying my £1 contribution that I had been making since 2010

Can I do anything to remove this?

 

Arrow notified me of a transfer of this debt in March 2016 to Restons

 

Ive never done a SAR on it, is it all too late now?

 

Thank you

no - I would suspect that you were paying satans bank and they sold it on with the £! arrangement in place

 

when that happens the debt buyers name replaces that of the OC on your file.

 

so whats the defaulted date

and did you get NOA's sent for the sale?

I thought you meant when was the original default when it started.

It was 2010 when I couldn't maintain my monthly payments,

but this was when I set up the £1 a month contribution.

These stopped in January 2016.

 

Ive not had anyone register this on my Credit File before so when I discovered it I was shocked to see it down as Arrow

who have registered it because they are the DCA I thought

 

It does say that there have been no updates from Arrow since they registered it over a year and a half ago

 

Does it just stay there for another four and a half years?

Can they take this to Court?

Do I just forget about it?

AFAIK, Arrow Global buy debts, and Moorcr@p don't, they are the tame gophers.

 

Why what's the story?

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!
