    • 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.

Sorry to bother you all. Just a quick question really.

 

I owned a 2015 car outright.

Stupidly, I took a £3000 logbook loan out against it.

I've been paying monthly etc

 

just last week, was involved in a non fault accident.

The insurance offer came back today and it just about covers the logbook loan.

 

My question is this..

will my insurance company pay me directly?

Or will they pay the logbook loan company first then give me whatever (if anything) is left?

 

I'm in no way trying to get out of paying the loan back.

.I owe it and will pay it

 

I would have preferred to continue monthly payments as normal

then I have money to buy another car.

 

I read somewhere that if the loan is a "fixed sum loan agreement" the insurance company will pay me directly.

 

They will only pay the loan company if it's on hire purchase.

How true is this?

 

I've looked at the logbook loan agreement from Varooma and it does say it's a fixed sum loan agreement.

 

However, there is also a bill of sale.. all in all, will I get the insurance money it will Varooma get it?

 

Thanks in advance

I don't know about the bill of sale regulation

 

the loan would be registered against the car and the insurance would do a hpi check on the car and they would pay the finance company off first,

 

I know that as i know someone who has a varooma loan and the insurance paid out the loan and the balance was paid after the finance was paid off first.

 

Varooma and any logbook loan company have to register their interest in the car otherwise they would be the losers in this.

I am not speculating the truth of the matter is the bill of sale is registered in the high court by the logbook loan company so if you default they take your car and sell it on they have to take you to court to repossess your car.

 

The debt is registered so if in the event of the car being written off it would show on the hpi and the engineers would check the full hpi and they will find out whether its on finance and they will contact whoever the money is owed to and you only get the balance back if any owed to you. Just because you insure the car doesn't mean the insurance would have to pay out to you.

 

All I said in my last message was i didn't know about the bill of sale regulation.

I haven't researched it yet

 

The logbook loans are just loan sharks who prey on the vulnerable and i personally wouldn't go near them and when you do take a loan out with them you are handing over temporary ownership of your vehicle and there is nothing you can really do about it.

Don't own a car worth enough to put a logbook loan on, but they are to be avoided as a PDL also should.

We could do with some help from you.
