    • 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.

Cheers DX

 

Just so I am sure i have this right, as I have proof of postage, i.e. the receipt I have from posting the letter that was meant to be signed for, that I can work the 12 + 2 days from that??

 

I have sent a few letters than need to be signed for, that have never been signed for, but I know they have got them as I have had replies etc. I am guessing they get so much post the postman dosent bother with the signature!

Hi,

I'm hoping somebody can't point me in the right direction please

 

I got into financial distress sometime ago but have been in a self administered DMP.

 

I had arrangements set up with all parties and all payments were being made on time.

 

However there appeared to be no light at the end of the tunnel so to speak as it was going to take 22 years to sort the mess out and eventually looked to enter an IVA.

 

The IVA was rejected by my largest creditor so I have gone back to my DMP.

 

However this is when an issue regarding Amex occurred,

I had been dealing with NCO Regain for a couple of years

but then came along Allied International Credit saying they were now dealing with it,

but NCO kept contacting me saying they were.

 

I told them both until Amex wrote to me to tell me who was dealing with it the account was in dispute.

 

I never got confirmation from Amex so I stopped paying,

 

I have written to Amex three times,

on the first two occasions I got letters back saying it was being investigated but never got a further response.

 

I then started getting calls from Amex so I again stated that I wanted in writing who I had to deal with but got nothing.

 

Then a letter turned up offering me a 50% settlement discount,

however I received the letter after the expiry date of the offer.

 

I called and explained again and was told I would be emailed confirmation of who to deal with, but of course no email turned up.

 

I have again written to them at the Brighton Address and also sent a copy to their CEO at the London address.

Both have been signed for on delivery but I have had no reply yet again (about 3 weeks ago)

 

Should I just do nothing?

They havent registered a default against me but when they call they keep threatening to.

 

I'm happy to put it back in my DMP, but I don't know who to pay.

I could really do without a default as it will set my credit file back a couple of years as everybody else I defaulted on registered defaults in 2014.

 

Any thoughts would be very welcome.

 

Thanks in advance.

NCO and allied are simply DCA's

they are not bailiffs and have no such legal powers

 

I question why you are even bothering with them and why you are talking on the phone to them....

 

you are being cash cowed,..

 

who on their letters is quoted as 'their client'??

I can't find any reference on the letters from NCO or AIC that mention their client, however today Amex have got back to me and told me

 

''Your account is currently with our agent, FirstSource LLP'

 

I have never heard of or been contacted by this company, not really sure what to do. Do I just put them into my DMP?

I stopped proper payments in 2014 and moved to a DMP, my last payment from my DMP to it was in September when I had two DCA's asking for payment and I have been trying to get clarification of who to pay ever since.

 

It appears the account was returned to Amex who then wrote and offered a 50% settlement (payable over two years) I was tempted to take this offer up to get it all sorted but I'll send a CCA request and post the reply (if there is one)

the account has always been owned by Amex

those DCA's are just chasers not debt buyers
